I'm a fat girl at heart. I love food. I have amazing dreams about food. I had a dream about a dessert buffet! One of my most favorite dreams ever! Can someone please make that a reality in the DC area? PLEASE!?
Anyway, so I eat a lot. And I LOVE eating. When the doctor told me this diet was only 500 calories a day, I thought he was crazy and I'd be famished constantly. I certainly thought that the last few days.
The food I've been eating is delicious! It's simple wholesome foods. I don't mind what I'm allowed to have. It's not much, but it's yummy and I'm happy with it. There's no depressed "go eat your salad and be miserable" thing going on here.
Here's an example of my food for the day:
Breakfast - an apple
Lunch - 4 oz of shrimp and a cucumber
Snack - an orange
Dinner - 4 oz of boneless skinless chicken with broccoli
See? Yummy! And today I did some batch cooking. I portioned out bags of fresh green beans for dinner/lunches and cooked beef and flounder! Then put 4 oz of each in a container and they're all in the fridge. Hubs says that if I can stick with this positively, he'll do it in early 2015. I'm thinking I'll probably do another round because I've got a ridiculous amount to lose.
So today I was hungry at breakfast. When I ate my apple, I was fine. I wasn't hungry all day! It's great! It really made me realize how much we eat because we're bored or it's time. And it's not bored like "nothing to do" It's more bored like "well, I'm done the work, may as well eat now. And later. And in between."
The biggest thing though, where I think I'm going crazy, is that I had a TON of energy! My head is tired but my body was going and going and going. I cleaned out the pantry and reorganized it, grocery shopping, batch cooked, cooked breakfast burritos for hubby, and cleaned like crazy. I just couldn't stop because I had so much energy! My legs are hurting because I couldn't stop!
So this is crazy!!! Tons of energy, not hungry, who is this??? :D
When we were in MD, I got 2 of the same scales for this house and the other house. The one in MD worked great. But then I got here and weighed myself 8 times and got 8 different weights. I'm all wondering if elevation would mess with my weight, but the scale was insane! So I returned it to the store and got another one. I weighed myself 3 times with that one and got 2 different weights. I think I'm going to just have to go with the first weight and hope for the best. It's not ideal but I don't know what else to do. I can't afford to plunk down $40 or more on a scale when I need 2 of them! Though it's looking like I might have to just suck it up and do that. I'll post tomorrow and let you know what the new scale says :)
