Today was weigh in. The results are - down 7 pounds, and 2 1/2 inches. I am sooooo close to getting under 200 lbs. Hopefully next week. Now comes the interesting part as I am into the second week, which with most changes doesn't give that much of a weight loss, usually. As long as I'm going down better then the piddly 1-2 lbs I was doing every TWO weeks with Poon, I'll be thrilled. If my body just can't do more, then - well it's still a blessing going down in weight.
Laura asked how I did - great. How did I like the food - was fine. Headaches? - yes but managed. Fatigue - well, that I have either way. Able to manage the foods and follow - oh yes! She was surprised on how well I was adapting to the foods. I explained I just follow other recipes I found, and made them tasty. She explained that she had people that were struggling on the program as they didn't like the foods. I said, just go on Facebook group and do the recipes - they aren't bad. She said they just didn't do that.
Considering how boring the food could be, I'd agree if I was just eating it the way it is, I'd struggle and probably quit. Though I am really intent on doing this weight loss and getting down in size permanently. I know that I will continue living this way after I get to the weight I want - so I might as well figure out a way to like it, enjoy the foods, and accept this choice I made.
Today I had 1/2 a pancake pkg made into muffins, and 1/2 vanilla pudding with extra water - added that to my coffee. Surprisingly I am adjusting to this small amount of food and good with it. Tomorrow's planned Breakfast - is 1 egg with egg white and raw spinach, chocolate pudding made into hot chocolate. I have the 1 egg/white as I have only 4oz of chicken (already cooked and measured out) for dinner. Thus allowing me the egg for breakfast..... and skipping meat at lunch.
Lunch will be... haven't decided. Dinner will have that chicken bit and veg. I haven't decided when I will have my 2nd pkg. 3rd pkg will be evening snack.
Lunch today was a goofed up pudding pkg that I was wanting to make as a mug muffin - needs pancake not pudding - I ate it, but not satisfying/tasted weird. Even though I had 1 cup of cauliflower soup (goof there too as it should have been 2 cups) I was craving hungry - I had a IP pkg of wafers. I know that's not exactly allowed, but also allowed if having problems. I knew this would be a problem.
Dinner was 2 cups cabbage, 8oz chicken, and 1/2 cup of chayote apple. I just realized I'm missing 1/2 cup veg. Not really hungry for more veg. I'm finding my carbs are low enough that mega hunger is disappearing. I realize that's weird after above lunch statement - that hungry issue was more....I'm not sure how to explain it, there needs to be a sense of satisfaction / or contentment with eating.
Snack is Sweet Chili Nachos.
I hope you followed all of that - it was confusing writing it. Sorry about that. Will do better next time. Now it's time for water.
