I had a decent week. I had a couple days where I went over my calories by 5-10%, but nothing too bad. Luckily, those also coincided with days I was just a little more active. I feel like I'm starting to develop a good feel for how much and how often I should eat. This weekend I was a little lax on recording and even planning my meals. However, once they were recorded, I realized that I was still within my daily limits and didn't overeat. What did put me past my RDI was the drinks on Saturday night. A night of drinking can easily end up as 2 extra meals for the day (1 for the drinks, and another one for the munchies afterward).
Overall though, I'm pleased with my week. It's exciting to know my body is adjusting to my new health and diet goals. I just have to remind myself that I'm shooting for gradual results over a long period of time and not get discouraged because I'm not seeing pounds fly off the scale. This is the first diet I've ever felt like I could do regularly. I hesitate to even call it a diet, because it's really just a lifestyle modification.
