Another pound gone! I'd like to lose 3# by next Tuesday. My daughter will be 16 that day and it would be a neat boost to my ego to have my weight lower than when I gave birth to her. Years ago I was 210#, when I was nursing her brother, so it's not like it's a milestone for me, but to be at that weight by her birthday would be neat.
I ate weirdly all week. Strange combinations of food that aren't bad by themselves, but coupled with other meals during the day left me feeling bloated and strange. I ate rice for lunch one day and went around for the rest of the day feeling like I had a ball of sludge in my gut. The next day a Subway turkey on wheat and felt lethargic and sleepy. The day after that, sushi, which really had me in misery by the end of the day. But the one day I had a salad with chicken I was awesome all day. No tummy issues, no slump, no lethargy. Over the last couple of weeks I've found I can pretty much eat what I want, as long as I follow phase 1 for breakfast and lunch, then phase 2 for dinner.
I indulged in pizza for dinner on Friday, but before I ate it, I looked up the nutritional information. What an eye opener!! One piece had almost 400 calories. In the past it wasn't unusual for me to have four-six pieces for a meal. I ate 2 pieces of the pan, one piece of the the thinner crust and felt satisfied and content. A lot of calories at one time, yes, but I was still low for the day. And not something I'm doing every week.
I went bike riding yesterday instead of walking. It was wonderful and fun!!
