Day 31 saw a slight change for me. For the first time in a while I was hungry. Before breakfast I was really hungry. As the day wore on it subsided a bit and I got back to feeling my new normal. I am pretty sure I know what happened. I had that ice cream and chocolate fudge the night before. Now even though it was okay on the carb side, that sugar alcohol and I don't seem to like each other very well. As a rule I keep it to once in a very blue moon but I think I need to just forget about it for the time being. I still have about a 1/3 of a container left in my freezer but I know my kids can get rid of that for me. The good news is that even with some hunger I didn't have any notion of cheating at all. I really believe blogging this journey is helping me stay on track. Watching what I eat and documenting it every day makes it much easier not to indulge in foods that are bad for me. I am changing my relationship with food now. I know I mentioned this in a previous post but food isn't fun, it is fuel. I can still have delicious meals that I enjoy, but my mind was out of whack with food most of my life. Food was my focal point. I had considered taking a vacation to Italy just for the food. A cruise was all about the food. This is not the way to live. I am so much more energetic and alert. I rarely take a nap now. I am no where near my goal but the effect of eating healthy is so worth it already. I just feel so much better.
Day 31 meals:
Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled, 2 pieces of bacon
Lunch - 3 beef franks, 1/4 cup peperoncini, fresh cucumber
Dinner - Ham, Cheddar and celery salad w/dipping sauce
Snacks - AM - Atkins Dark chocolate shake, PM - 1 mozzarella stick
Total counts for day 31, 19.5g Carbs, 1,338 Calories, 93.4g fat, 98.3g protein
Not a good day on the calorie or carb front. I'm not eating enough. What a weird thing to say but it's the truth. Two days in a row of way low calories is sure to halt my progress. I've got to get these up the next few days if I expect to see any loss at all this week.
