I made the mistake of weighing this morning and the 2 pounds that were gone last week are back this week. Kind of a bummer, but there is some good news. It seems as though 4 inches have disappeared off my booty, thighs and waist. So take THAT scale. So glad that I did some measurements as well. The scale has never been my friend. I think the conclusion I have made is just go with how the clothes fit and to heck with the scale.
Exercise for the day: 1 hour of weights and conditioning with the 5:30 AM group.
Lots of housecleaning as well.
Eating:
Breakfast: 2 eggs, sausage, Advocare Spark, and coffee. Carbs: 17
Snack: Coffee, nuts, cheese, blueberries and more cheese: Carbs: 18
Lunch: Chili, 4 crackers, carrots, celery, cookie. Carbs: 18
Snack: Spark and nuts. Carbs: 16
Dinner: Steak and an orange and carrots. Carbs: 15
Carbs for the day: 84
This seems low to me, but I felt good last night. I have continued to go to bed really early. I just feel hungry and am ready to call it a day. The mental side of cutting back on food has always been the hardest for me. So sometimes going to sleep is just the best thing to do. I am hoping that my fat burners are turned on for the evening if I go to bed a little hungry.
I do feel much better overall without eating all of those bad carbs that I used to enjoy. I am sleeping like a rock and have a better mood overall. When I do feel hungry it is a different kind of hungry. It isn't like a craving hunger, just a time to eat hunger. I passed up pasta last night and didn't even miss it. I am thinking that at the two week point I might be getting over some of the crazy cravings of bad carbs. By bad carbs I mean sugar carbs or refined carbs or anything out of a bag or box carbs.
Show up and make it count!
