No Carb Boot Camp Diet

So New Year.. new me.. I've started a 2 week no carb boot camp diet plan.. recommended by Sean.  What does it consists of?  Meat meat meat... hahaha.. basically.. it's just eating protein, with the exception of green vegetables (carbs).. that means NO CARBOHYDRATES of any other kind.. GASP.. how can I live without my noodles.. my bread.. my potato... and worst of all... my alcohol!!!!!

But.. you heard it here first.. I'm going to quit alcohol until Chinese New Year.  Yup, that's right.. 3 weeks of absolutely NO ALCOHOL... unless of course if it's cooked with the food.. whereby the alcohol has all but burnt off..  Yes.. I'm talking about KACAMA!  (Foochow/Hokkien delicacy of chicken cooked with Kacama leaves and LOTS of rice wine.. acquired taste though!)  So anyway, also recommended by Sean.. who initially said 30 days.. I've compromised and decided to do 3 and a half weeks instead.. I mean.. it's unheard of not to drink during Chinese New Year right?

So I'm going to see.. after 2 weeks of my no carb boot camp.. which by the way.. I'm supposed to be on Day 3... but due to my lack of knowledge and therefore inadvertently drinking fruit juice.. I've landed myself smack back into Day 1 today.. 

So far.. how do I feel?  It's going to be a long 2 weeks.. and I'm sure it'll be a very cranky two weeks with no carbohydrates.  I'm already craving something sweet.. chocolates.. gasp droolz.. how on earth am I going to survive?

I was going to post a before and after picture.. but I'll spare you all the beached whale look that I'm currently sporting.  Just scroll up to the previous post and look at the picture of me on the boat.. (no.. not at the helm of the stern!).. the one which was taken in Langkawi.. that.. would be the last picture of me... looking like a beached whale.. and hopefully.. the last time I LOOK like a beached whale.  So wish me luck in my venture.. it's going to be a long 2 weeks.. and a longer 6 months to reach my goal weight.. but I'm willing to do anything at this point.
