Yogurt diet Day 2

I've only been on this diet for 24 hours and I want to quit it already.  My palate is depressed and unsatisfied.  I think the thing I miss the most is nice starchy carbs!  Although, I have to admit that keeping my appetite on such a tight leash can be a bit empowering.  I almost feel like a dominatrix to my appetite.  * whipppssssh *

Unfortunately, I lost it at the barbecue!  I ate a bunch of grilled meat, a yummy hotdog on a moist bun and snacked on corn chips.  They were so delicious...  * drool *  And then this morning, the idea of eating yogurt made me feel angry!  So I went to the Burger King drive-thru and picked up a breakfast sausage muffin and breakfast wrap.  I'm pretty sure those two items together must have been more than 500 calories.  I think they butter their muffin's to taste better.

But to redeem myself, I did go jogging for nearly 15 minutes this morning.  =)  For a big girl like me, that's A LOT!  My legs were already a stiff from my short jog yesterday... so I feel proud that I was able to jog 15 minutes today!

Even though I fell off the wagon for the last 2 meals, I know it's not the end of the world!  I will probably try to jog another 10-15 minutes tonight and try to stick to the diet for the next two meals.  I bought myself some delicious tilapia fillets, and will plan to eat a fillet on a bed of fresh arugula from my little container gardens =)  the only thing I forgot to prepare was some vegetables to snack on.

Day1 Yoplait 2-wk tune up

On June 11th, I have a wedding to attend.  This is a wedding of an old friend who I haven't seen in over a year!  I HAVE TO LOOK GOOD!  Perfect time to try out one of these fad diets  =)

The Yoplait 2 Week Tune Up:
Eat a cup of low or nonfat yogurt with a serving of grain and a serving of fruit for breakfast and lunch.  Then eat a sensible, lean protein dinner.  For snacks, you can eat vegetables.  In 2 weeks, you will lose up to 5 pounds!

There is no magic about eating 2 cups of yogurt a day.  This is all about portion control.  The convenient thing about this diet is that:
1.  It's convenient to buy yogurt that's already in the correct size. Plus it's cheaper than a shake diet.
2.  There is almost NO cooking except for dinner.
3.  The website (Yoplait Two Week Tune UP) has a nice 14 day meal planner for you with easy to follow recipes for each of your meals.

By the way, Yoplait is a popular brand of yogurt here in America.  And this "two week tune up" is a way for them to market their product.  Still, the meal planner they provide is VERY convenient.  When I was trying to figure out what "grain" to eat for my next 14 days... this meal planner gave me lots of ideas.
