Details about the the crazy diet

So here's what happened over a course of 13 days --- I had to bust my butt to lose about 12 lbs.  It was a little difficult, but I slept great almost every night, and still ate pretty well also.

The night before I started this craziness I ate a wonderful thanksgiving dinner with Miss Marina.  The next day the diet started.

I spent  almost every day working out at the health club -- weights and bike, or weights, running and bike, or weights, step -up thingy, running, and bike.  The weight-lifting was not very strenuous in terms of the sets that I did.  The hard part was going from exercise to exercise without stopping.  That worked my heart up a good bit for sure.  After one big set of all the weight exercises, I then ran for 5-7 minutes, biked for 5-7 minutes, did a bunch of jumping jacks, or did the step thing (which very rough).  Monday, Thursday and Friday (since the class schedule allows), I was able to get in my jiu jitsu practices.

You're probably thinking that I missed some meals in here.  Actually, on the last day I did skip dinner -- well, I snacked in small bits and ate a lot of fish at a wedding buffet.

So, I don't recommend eating the way I did.  That is, unless you really love cooking chicken breasts.  Let's just say I ate lots of chicken, and tuna with salads throughout the first week.   Around the meals I would eat a banana or an orange.  At night time I would drink a glass or two of milk as well.  The last six days or so was nothing but chicken.  Chicken and cooked vegetables mostly for all three meals.  Some of the meals included some kimchi that I cooked the chicken in -- super spicy stuff.  That pretty much explains it all right there.  I did use a sauna to cut some water weight, but that probably resulted in maybe 15% of the weight loss.

I'm happy to say that I've put six pounds back on already.  I am impressed too, that veggies can fill a person up that well!
