I’m very happy with my progress so far. It took a while to get the ball going, but now that I’m losing, I’m losing consistently and fast. I’ve been exercising for a week now and I’ve been at the all protein thing for 4 days. I didn’t start to lose weight until Sunday morning. I started at 142. Sunday I was at 141, yesterday I was at 140 and today I am at a lovely 138. Yes, that’s 2lbs in one day. Woo!
I’ve been eating very little, but I’m by no means starving. I’ll have a few glasses of water (with added fiber) in the morning after my workout. Then maybe a cup of coffee around noon. At 3 I’ll have a boiled egg or some string cheese, which will hold me until dinner, which is usually a chunk of meat. I drink lots of water with fiber in it to keep me fuller longer. It’s really not until the evenings that my cravings start. I’ve found that nibbling on a small piece of chocolate really helps the sweets cravings and doing the same with string cheese helps with regular cravings. Last night I took a good 20 minutes to eat my cheese and it was really helpful. However, we stayed up later than we usually do to watch our shows, and that made me extra hungry. I’m usually in bed by 9:30-10 and can restrain myself from eating anything bad until then. But last night we stayed up until 11 and I had to have something. So I made a s’more. Just a small little thing gooey with chocolate and marshmallow was what I needed. I was happy the rest of the night and was more than thrilled to see the 2lb weight loss this morning.
I’m looking great, and more importantly, I’m feeling great.
