Vegas Challenge !
I will be visiting the sizzling ,devils paradise this May for a few special events (Now that I think about it, Im actually excited ) Sooooo this means its shopping time and bikini seasooonn, sunkiss tan and unforgettable moments! I have about 3 1/2 weeks to get to my tip top shape and let me tell you ! Hell yeah! this is going to be fuckin hard lol, not impossible . Strict dieting and exercising, Insomnia will help me get to this but remember resting is highly necessary. So heres what I am looking into for the next few weeks ,This meal plan will be a routine meal plan (meaning that week 2 & 3 the same meals will be eaten unless I update or create a new blog stating a meal change..jpg)
It hurts but im giving up what I once hated :'[ Beer . No more beer no more mixed drinks, I will only treat myself to tequila and not indulge just because thats the only thing that Im allowed to drink. This doesnt also mean that I will be drinking tequila everytime I go out for a few drinks,no of course not.
THURSDAY:
Breakfast: Oatmeal cooked in water mixed with half a banana and cinnamon ,black coffee
Lunch: Sashimi platter ****
Dinner: Grilled Chicken Steamed veggies asparugus and green tea (From tea bags not lipton)
Lunch : Sashimi platter will not be eaten every day lol, this is just what I know my Lunch will consist of tomorrow. Lunch will usually be tilapia cooked or my usual chicken, turkey (Lunchs leftover will become dinner )
All these meals are accompanied with water ,remember H20 is your friend! Again CRAVINGS WILL OCCUR! Your human listen to your body! If its hungry FEED IT ! DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF! However, before you stuff your face drink water if cravings occur, you might just be thirsty.

TEN HELPFUL HINTS FOR DIETING SUCCESS:
Plan out your weekly meals in advance.
Drink 8 or more glasses of water per day. And drink at least one glass of water before every meal to help decrease appetite.
Avoid temptations! Clear out your fridge and pantry of all food items that can derail your diet plan.
Eat slowly; chew each bite thoroughly and put your fork down between bites. It takes approximately 20 minutes for your brain to recognize that you're full.
Cook for yourself at home and resist the urge of eating out.
Try new foods whenever possible; it allows opportunity to bring variety to an otherwise restricted diet.
Add spices or chiles to your food for a flavor boost that can help you feel satisfied.
Brush your teeth after each meal so you won’t be tempted to snack.
Sleep 8 hours per night. Research shows that lack of sleep can stimulate appetite and lead to overeating.
Keep your eye on the ultimate goal!
