Starting “Craig Diet” & My Meal Plan
PS – There are two rather annoying typos in this post of which I can’t fix! BOO!!! Five points for all of you who figure them out!!! SORRY!
T-minus double digits to Disney. It is crunch time. Time to put up or shut up.
Should I keep going?
I do not want to spend a million dollars on an awesome vacation only to hate myself in all my pictures.
I loved Weight Watchers and it really does work, but nowadays, I want something a little different (Sorry Gina). A Jump Start, if you will. Something that requires Zero thinking.
It is time to call in the big guns….
Craig Diet, as I lovingly call it, is my husband’s tricks to lose weight. You can read up on all the tenants of the diet, but just remember, he isn’t a doctor or anything, he just knows stuff. Besides, this is just a ‘jump start to weight loss’ kind of thing to get me motivated and help curtail some of those bad habits (like eating a peanut butter cup at 5:15 AM when I get up).
Did you know the average stomach is the size of a closed adult fist? Much smaller than a Large Double Cheeseburger Meal with a Giant Coke from McDonalds.
Craig’s theory is you need to ‘shrink’ your stomach back to its normal size, so he likes to eat something small every few hours for the first few days. He also thinks this will start to ‘rev’ my metabolism.
Here is my “average” day
The dinners I have planned are far from exciting, but can do the job:
4 Dino nuggets
3 Ravioli with Sauce
Lemon Chicken
½ Chicken Roll from the Pizza Place
This is the plan. The first day or two I definitely feel hungry, but by day three and four, the smaller size servings do fill me up. I will let you know on the 21st how it played out.
I need to confess – I had one of these last night…. Beware… They are out there… Waiting…. I thought I only had to battle these demons during Easter!
Does anyone have any Meal Plans for the week? Or a Diet named after their militant husband?

Good Luck!!!! You can do it!!!
Thanks Eyeball!
I win!!!
You do!!!
Di, You remind me so much of myself. I hate diets, and I refuse to do them, so I just kill myself exercising. I wish you luck with yours though! Those are rules I try to follow as well. I hate those “no carb” diets–turns me into a grouch. Halloween creme eggs—I wish you hadn’t told me that!!!!!!
I give you credit! I would think the 4 boys are enough exercise!! I want to get up earlier to exercise but can not seem to drag myself out of bed!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!! Soon they will be making them for Christmas too!!!!
Wishing you the best of luck. You can do it!

XOXO
Did you stick to it? I’m sitting here, throwing back peanut butter M&Ms thinking that I really need to do the same. Sugar is my mortal enemy and I just can’t stop!
