Hey guys,
Before I tell you my results, I want to make sure you understand a few things. This diet is based on the foods which them make chemicals in your body. It is all about the right balance. So if you add anything to the diet, you mess up the chemically proven diet.
Also, this diet was made for the military. These guys work their butts off every day. So if you aren't working your butt off in the gym, it's not going to work as well.
Unfortunately, I have to tell my readers, that I added a few things, as you noticed yesterday, and I wasn't working my butt off each day. Cleaning and Christmas shopping, as much as we would love to count them, aren't the best forms of working out.
Therefore, I have very minimum results.
Check back in a week and a half when I do this diet again, after Christmas, with my boyfriend. He will be here pushing me to stay strong and we will be working out together.
If you have an awesome story from this diet, please share it in the comments or e-mail me. I'd love to hear from you.
Here are the results:
Lost- 3 pounds
But I must say, 3 is better than 0. ;)
Keep it up! Stay strong!! Lose more than me ;) I'll be back at it soon to lose more than you ;)
Good Luck :D

Three Day Military Diet: Day 3
Hey all, well this is the last day on the diet. Time to finish well.
Day 3:
Breakfast- 5 Saltine Crackers, 1 Slice of Cheddar Cheese, and 1 Small Apple
(Well, I woke up in the middle of the night in girl pain. I got up and needed medicine. You are supposed to coat your stomach, so I had three saltine crackers. and took medicine. When it came time for breakfast, I only had 4 saltine crackers instead.)
Lunch- 1 Hard Boiled Egg, 1 Slice of toast
(Now, I have to say. Lunch was good. I was full, and went off and did Christmas shopping. Now, I did go to a Christmas thing, and unfortunately I did have a small snack. A cracker with some dip. Boy, it's difficult doing this diet before Christmas, and while you are having your girl issues. But luckily, I will be doing this again. My boyfriend is coming to town in a week and a half, and we will be doing it together. After this, I will be continuing the cycle. 3 days on diet, 4 days off. I do really like this diet! It makes me feel good, and I already feel lighter ;) we shall see what the results are tomorrow!!)
Dinner- 1 Cup of Tuna, 1/2 Banana, 1 Cup of Vanilla Ice cream
Come back tomorrow to see the final results.
If you decide to take the diet, let us know. Please comment or e-mail.
If you would like to see more details comments and posts, check out DAY 1 of the diet, it has links to where I fund the original diet, and the link to their facebook page!

Three Day Military Diet: Day 2
Well, one day down, two more to go! Yesterday was a big success. Hopefully today will be as well.
Day 2:
Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 toast, 1/2 banana
(Once again this diet continues to surprise me. I keep thinking, that is not enough for, or the right food. But I was wrong. I am full.)
Lunch- 1 cup of cottage cheese (or 1 slice of cheddar cheese) (I started with the cottage and realized it was the worst thing ever and switched to the cheddar) 1 hard boiled egg, and 5 saltine crackers.
(Well, the surprise diet is gone. Its much harder today. I am much more hungry. I did have a cheat snack earlier :/ but it was only grapes, so hopefully it won't mess up the diet too much.)
Dinner- 2 hot dogs (no buns), 1 cup of broccoli, 1/2 cup of carrots, 1/2 banana, and 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream.
(Dinner does it for me!! It is just right! I am full, the dinner was tasty, and I cannot wait to see the results!!)
Well, that is all for today! Hope you come back tomorrow to see the final day, and again on Christmas eve to hear the results. :D
Again, if you decide to take this diet, let me know in the comments or send me an e-mail.

Three Day Military Diet: Day 1
Hey Guys,
So since we haven't died yet today, during the end of the world, what better way to celebrate than to get in shape and take advantage of each new day!
I recently found this diet on pinterest, and I have decided to give it a try.
Here is what the diet consists of, I will post a link at the bottom so you can see comments and stories from others who have tried it. They also have a facebook page.
Day 1:
Breakfast- 1/2 Grapefruit, 1 Slice of Toast, 2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter, and Coffee or Tea.
(Upon starting this diet, I thought breakfast was going to be terrible, but I had breakfast over an hour ago, and I am still full. Also,I hate black coffee, but swish down the peanut butter with coffee, and it is good. :) )
Lunch- 1/2 Cup of Tuna, 1 Slice of Toast,, and Coffee or Tea (any brew as long as it is caffeinated)
(So about an hour before my decided time of having lunch, since I am trying to stay full till dinner, I became incredibly hungry. I was worried the lunch menu would not fill me up. I kept downing the water trying to fill my stomach and keep from being extra hungry due to dehydration. Anyways, I put my tuna on top of the toast and it was really good! And, I am full! Shocker.)
Dinner- 3 ounces of any type of meat (tomorrow is two hot dogs, and they sounded good, so I did that tonight as well) 1/2 banana, 1 small apple, 1 cup of green beans, 1 cup of vanilla ice cream! (the ice cream really makes up for the whole day of dieting!! Also, I forgot the green beans when I did it, so I went back and ate them about an hour later. Definitely satisfying :D
This diet is a military diet. It is important you exercise when doing it for maximum results. I have to admit, I did not "exercise today." But I did clean my room and house (including moving furniture) for at least 6 hours. My feet are killing me tonight. Also make sure you are drinking water throughout the day. :D
I am so far LOVING this diet!!!
If you decide to take this diet as well, let me know! Post in the comments or e-mail me!! I'd love to hear you story and share this journey with you.

Quest Bars
I've recently been getting into "freebies." Freeflys.com has really been awesome. I recently received my sample of Quest Bars. Most protein bars are disgusting. However, when I tried the chocolate bar, I have to say, while it wasn't the most tasteful thing I had eaten, it was good for a protein bar. It tasted like real chocolate.
Give them a try. :)

Workout Groups
Hey guys,
So I have to tell you how awesome it is to have people to work out with! Working out requires discipline and organization, two things, well I am not good with, especially in the gym. For me, I need constant encouragement and people pushing me to do the absolute best I can do.
Including me, I workout with two guys and two girls. I love working out with Mary because she and I are "on a journey together," if you will. She and I can keep each other in check, and tell the other one to get their butts in the gym, if they haven't been in a while (HINT HINT). She and I are best friends, and we love each other. ;) It's good to work out with someone you are incredibly close to, mine is Mary.
For us girls, it is also easier to workout with a guy or two. This keeps you motivated, and makes you want to do your best. For me, I am extremely competitive, so any time one of the guys says for me to try something new, I (almost) always accept the challenge head on. Do 15 reps instead of 10, alright, I got this.
I do have to admit, when it comes to working out abs, I do not enjoy accepting challenges. Oh my heavens!!! My abs are killing me today!!
I also find it much easier to workout when I keep to my water intake. My cousin, the personal trainer, suggests you drink half you body weight in water each day. So lets say you are 100 lbs (dang you're tiny,) you should be drinking at least 50 ounces of water a day! This seems like a lot! Try putting your water in a gallon.
Well, I think that is all for today.
If you need someone to work out with, and you can go to CCU's gym, e-mail me or comment on here and we can see if times work out. OR maybe someone else needs a workout buddy too. Maybe you'll find them in the comments. :)

Best Friend Adventures
Hey guys, sorry it has been a while since I posted last. This past week has been HECTIC. Between classes, and practically every assignment being due, and coming to see my boyfriend...It has been a BUSY week.
Many people believe stress is our biggest health concern. Stress is linked to many issues such as heart problems to dementia (read more about stress in the link below).
I want to encourage you take some time to relax. I am. I am spending some time in Georgia this week. It is such a beautiful place! I'll try to post some pictures for you later.
Until then,
Have a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving break
<3

Be Thankful Daily Dosage Five
Breakfast: Gluten free Chex cereal
Snack: Turkey Sandwich (IT WAS SO GOOD! Turkey, chipolte cheese, jalepenoes, and pickles mmm.)
Lunch: Mango Protein Smoothie (Oh my GOSH!!!! This was DANK. If you are ever at NMB Aquatic fitness center, get the mango smoothie with the meal replacement supplement. It's four dollars and I was full till dinner!)
Dinner: Chicken Bog and Green Beans.
Water: 80 ounces (kinda slacking on the water today)
I am happy to announce, today was my first day back in the gym in about three weeks. I am also happy to announce, it wasn't like starting over either. I ran 1.5 miles, and spent (well I lost track of time but it was at least an hour) with my little sister doing weights!! It felt great to be back!
I want to encourage you today, as we enter this time of Thanksgiving, look around you. Count your blessings. Sometimes we take people for granted. My grandpa fell out of a tree two days ago. He refused to go to the doctor until today. He now has to have back surgery. Back surgery is a scary thing for anyone, but especially for people who are older. It makes me think about the last time I saw my papa. We aren't very close. We never were really, but I wish I could change that. I wish that the last time I saw him, I would have given him twice as many hugs.

You never know what will happen in the game of life. I encourage you to tell the people you love and care most about just how you feel about them. It would be sad if you never got that chance again.

Positively Positive Daily Dosage 4
Breakfast: Fiber One
Snack: two boiled eggs and carrots
Lunch: Grilled chicken and rice
Dinner: Tomato soup
My friend Mary and I were talking in the car today. I told her something DaveyWavey said in a video I watched last night, "You can't fix a problem with the same mind that created it." I have tried all of the things out there. I've tried counting calories, challenges, cleanses, and meal replacements. I've tried working out, and mixing a good diet. But wait, what am I looking for here? Am I looking for immediate results that will only last a short time? NO. I am done with those. I am looking for long lasting results, even though they may take some time to get.
So here is my proposition. Instead of being negative, think positive. I am beautiful, just the way that I am. I am working on becoming a healthier me, and in that I will see results! I don't want to just be skinny! I don't want to be anorexic either! I want to be healthy! There is nothing wrong with that.
So in hopes to change my mindset. This is not dieting. This is living healthy. When I drink those nutrition shakes, it is not to lose weight, it is to see a healthier me. When I die in the gym, it's not to lose weight; it's to feel proud that I have accomplished a certain goal, and to feel the amazing reward of sweat and endorphins. It's about living healthy, and being happy!
And just so you know, I'm feeling much better, so tomorrow night I'll tell you how my first workout back in the gym is!!!

Third Daily Dosage
Breakfast: Fiber One
Snack: Two boiled eggs and blueberries
Lunch: Grilled Chicken and carrots
Snack: Apple
Dinner: Grilled Chicken.
100 ounces of water!
And feeling good! You know actually, I've been kind of having pitty parties over here. I went to the doctor this past Friday, and I had a sinus infection and she believed mono was trying to become active again, she checked my spleen, when it's swells its a sign of mono. Anyways, I went to the doctor yesterday and I have a side affect from the medicine I am on, and not to mention somehow I got ringworm.. In five different places. I've been itchy and unable to scratch, and also grossed out, and I guess I'm one of those, eat when your sad kinds of people, because the first thing that popped into my mind was to stop somewhere and get something to eat because "I deserved it." Okay just to take a little rant on that statement right there. You deserve something you want because you're the idiot who got sick and had to take the pills to get better and got the stupid side affect? You deserve something because you're an idiot and held a cat and got five spots of ringworm. NO YOU DO NOT DESERVE SOMETHING. And besides, if you go and eat a milk shake from Chick fil a right now, think about it, you WON'T be rewarding yourself, you will actually be harming yourself more! So shut up and keep driving! Haha, and that's what I did. I shut up, and kept driving.
Number two, I have a really awesome boyfriend, and he helped me get through the day yesterday, as he does many days! As I was sulking and complaining, and being the type of person I can't stand the most, a complainer, he reminded me, my life isn't so bad. He described a man to me, that is in much worse conditions than I am, incurable conditions. I'm not going to describe this man to you, but I will ask you, how's the family? Do you have people in your life that love you? Every 16 seconds another child becomes an orphan; in Asia alone there are currently 87 million orphans, to understand this a little better, that number almost makes up one third of the entire United States population.
If you are reading this blog, and you feel like your life is terrible and can't get any better, or maybe next time you do feel this way, remember, it can always be worse! Always remember to be thankful for what you have.
<3 Becca
PS. There are thousands of families who want to adopt, but they don't have the funds to, if you want to help provide a lonely child with a loving home, all you have to do is buy a shirt. Here's a link to show you how!

First Daily Dosage
Alright guys, so here is what happened today.
Breakfast- grits
Snack- 1 egg and yogurt with frozen blueberries and raspberries
Lunch- salad, grilled chicken
Snack- 1 boiled egg and a carrot and blueberries
Dinner- grilled chicken (wanted some greens, but didn't get to go shopping today.)
Depending on how late I'm up tonight, I might eat an apple. :)

So I definitely need to go grocery shopping and get some more greens and veggies!!! Mom picked up some fiber cereal for me for tomorrow woohoo!
Since I am not supposed to workout right now, I just parked farther away from my building so I would walk further.
Okay, that's all for today! See you tomorrow :D

Introduction
Hi all of you out there. I want to introduce myself first. My name is Rebecca, and I am a senior in college. i have tried so many things to lose weight and get in shape. My journey started about three years ago. I started out at 200 pounds. I joined this awesome company called Advocare (TRUST ME THEY ARE AWESOME). With them, I lost down to 167. It was awesome! I was so happy and I still am. I can still be thankful I am not 200 pounds.I stopped my weight loss program once I lost the weight, and I gained back to 175. Now this isn't terrible if you think about it, but it's not where I want to be. According to my height, a good healthy weight for me is about 145. I've tried millions of things. Counting calories. Working out. And my latest endeavor was Visalus. I also LOVE Visalus. My cousin is a personal trainer and got me on it! But she also cut everything else out of my diet. For over two months I lived off of, nutrition shakes, grilled chicken, eggs/tuna (could be swapped out), broccolli, salad and beef jerky. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people who can enjoy the same thing every day of my life. I love variety, and let's face it, I love food. My Visalus challenge was supposed to last 90 days. But, I started teaching, and living with a friend for three weeks. I started eating pb&j. I stuck to my chicken at night, but the day was filled with carbs that I haven't had in over two months. I've decided, while my cousin is AWESOME and I am so thankful for her help, cutting out EVERYTHING is not for me. It makes me want to cheat and give up. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy healthy foods. This is my first week back from teaching, and I'm mad at myself. I love the healthy foods because they make me proud of myself, and they make me feel good. You should also know, I am ON A TIGHT BUDGET. So I can't always afford the fresh food. (I should also add, the month before I started teaching, I was in the gym 6 days a week.)
Alright, all of that to say this. I am ready for a change. A lasting change. A change in my life, not just a diet. I am blogging it, so that you can keep me accountable. This week, I am kicking off my new challenge with a detox. Don't get freaked out. For me this means, all clean foods for one week. Yes I know that's what my cousin did to me for two months, but I need to take this one day and week at a time. Lots of water. Shooting for about 100 ounces a day! I would begin my workout routine again, but I once had mono, and after a trip to the doctor, she is worried mono is active again. Because my spleen is swollen, it is dangerous to workout. If your spleen ruptures, well there is no point of getting in shape...at least I would look good in the coffin. haha okay sick joke. If I feel 100% by Friday, I'll go hardcore in the gym.
Alright. I'm going to post the foods I am eating, and drinks I consume each day on here. If you have any tips, feel free to comment or e-mail me! If you too are wanting to lose weight, feel free to comment or e-mail me! Lets do this together! Time to make a change.
See yall tonight with my "Daily Dosage."
