Weight 208.5 (lost 4 of the lbs gained from the one meal last weekend, so no overall loss)
For whatever reason my weight has been all over the place the last 3 days – I decided to go with the middle result. Friday I weighed in at 205.5 – I was excited because that meant I lost all the weight from the one meal, the lb from the week before and had an over all loss of 1 lb. But Saturday is my official weighin day so I waited to write it down – Sat. morning 208.5 *shrugs* – that’s ok I recorded it. This morning, Sunday – it’s 210.5. But no idea why.
I’ve been keeping calories on track all week – breakfast and lunch my favorite protein bar (only 150 calories), and an apple. Dinners lean protein and veggie, sometimes a little plain air popped popcorn to keep hunger under control. One night this week we had Chinese takeout – I got the diet option of steamed chicken and green beans and had a fortune cookie (25 calories).
But it’s all about making healthy choices, making permanent changes and not about the numbers – so just moving ahead and keeping positive.
Today I start a new plan as I described last week. I will give it a week – if I gain I’m going back to my regular 800 to 900 calorie plan. If I stay the same I’ll give it another week. If I lose, I’ll keep at as long as it works. It will be more calories then I’m used to and calls for snacks – which is frightening to me. I will not be adding the fat that they call for though. That I just can’t do – way to scary for me and would make the calories go through the roof. (The plan allows for oatmeal, unlimited veggies, lean proteins and eggs (up to 3 yikes!), fruit eaten alone 1 or 2 times a day, and cycling a serving of good carbs every 3 to 4 days so the body doesn’t stall, and good fats).
This is what I’ll do: oatmeal with 1/2 c low fat soymilk for breakfast. Lunch and snacks – big green salad with a cherry tomatos and portebella mushrooms, with 1 hard boiled egg for protein, with low fat ranch dressing (30 calories a serving), snacks: 1 apple, veggies: cucumber and yellow squash sliced. Dinner – big green salad, small amount of lean protein (skinless chicken breast or a serving of salmon estimate 150 calories). So far from what I can estimate the calories will be about: 1175 – way more then I’m used to, plus with a lot of it being estimated it could be higher (usually I have my veggies frozen in a package so I know the calories). On Wed. and next Sunday I’ll have a roasted yam for my carb option (probably cut back on the apple during the day to try to make up for some of the extra calories).
I am a little cautious because I worry having my biggest meal (most calories) for breakfast. I am hoping the hunger at night isn’t to awful, but no matter what I’ll give this a good try.
Beverages: I bought two 32 oz bottles, will have water and\or crystal light, 1 cup of coffee in the morning with nonfat creamor. (I gave up diet soda 2 weeks ago – I only had two once at a friend house and another at the movies. I was used to having 2 or 3 a day.)
Excerise – probably just stationary bike 30 mins at least 5 days, it’s been way to hot to walk.
So that’s the plan! I have also ordered Dr. Beck’s Diet Solution (change thinking) and Dr. Gould Shrink Yourself (work on emotional reasons for eating) books – I have dealt with the thinking and emotions a LOT over the past year on this eating plan and previously for decades – but figure what the heck it doesn’t hurt to revisit these issues again and using the books will give a structured way of doing it.
