Morning Weigh In: Down .0 lbs.
I’ve decided to combine these two stabilization days for my journal. I’m not sure if that’s cheating or not, but I’d hate to bore you with details that are so repetitive! (you can thank me later!)
These two days were much of the same. I did some yo-yo work with the scale due to my menstrual cycle and I didn’t have any real menu problems to report. I lost a pound on day 16 but then gained a ½ pound the next day. My water intake has not been very stable and shame on me for this! During our periods, we really should be faithful to our water consumption. Even though the water weight gain is inevitable, we can still maintain our habits throughout this time of the month. Regardless of any day of any week, this water intake is a good flushing out for our systems and I really need to get back on the wagon with this practice!
One thing I’m getting concerned about is my calorie intake. I’m finding that there are days that I sit between the 600-700 calorie mark. I’ll be asking Dr. Watwood about this. I find that my hunger subsides throughout the day and I’d rather just eat a piece of lunch meat, a bite of a banana or a handful of almonds to get me through. These small snacks are doing the trick when it comes to not over-eating, but I’m wondering if I’m eating less calories than my body requires.
The mind games are also working. I find that I’m thinking ahead of myself with the menu for the day and that I’m not taking as many trips to the refrigerator as I had in the past. Planning seems to be the key with this diet. Figuring out a system that literally stops me when I’m preparing food is helping the most. I’m no longer grabbing food without thinking and I find that preparing meals for the family have also taken on a healthier route. (My family is losing weight and they don’t even know it!)
