Hey Chakalina's Journal, 31 July 2014

I strived for calorie deficits leading up to today's weigh-in and I made my goal with an additional pound lost. So, today instead of trying to hover 1200, I wanted to eat "cheat foods" but still stay under fatsecret rdi. I thoroughly enjoyed my home-baked pizza dough with a tiny sprinkle of cheese, a slight drizzle of olive oil, then dipped in garlic hummus. It's way more carbs than I usually eat, my macros aren't where I'd like them to be, but I'm still under rdi. My next official weigh-in will be in two weeks, August 15. What should my mini-goal be? Four pounds? If I make it an even 5, then I'll have 14 pounds left to lose. I might be pushing it. Anyway, I wanted to check in tonight before bed because last time I had a cheat meal my mind was troubled and I don't want to go there again. Writing it down helps, so, uh, I wrote it down. and it will help.

I think 3 pounds for 2 weeks would be a good and manageable plan. If you ditched the beer you could lose 5 lb. It's just empty calories anyways. Ah, I know, it's easy for me to say since I hate beer and I don't drink alcohol. It has so much calories, it really sets people back. In two weeks tell us if you achieved your goal :-)

Thanks everyone! Snezica- yes, the beer has to go (and the gin too). My discipline problem with the alcohol is that I have a huge pool that my friends and family visit nearly every day. They bring their own cocktails and let loose. Before FS, I would eat and drink from their plentiful and generous offerings which was way worse. Now, I put three Michelob Ultra Lights in the fridge every morning and that's all I get. I am expecting a stall in the coming weeks; it seems like this is a common issue. So- my plan is to cut the alcohol out as a last ditch effort to recharge my loss. Hopefully I won't stall before summer is over. It'll be easy to cut out the beer when I go back to work... Anyway, that all sounded like a big fat excuse.
