190 lbs.
Okay, well, at least I am going in the right direction again. I did workout yesterday. I had eggs for breakfast, a salad for lunch and, for dinner, I had a plate of cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms and 1 carrot, sauteed in butter, and topped with with Italian seasoning, parmesan and olive oil. It was very good and filling. Before bed I had two glasses of wine, some olives stuffed with feta cheese (not as good as blue cheese, but I thought I'd try it) 1 piece of string cheese and 1/2 cup raw almonds.
I was not hungry all day and I had plenty of energy at the gym. I am proud to say that I stuck to my schedule!! The trick was to go right into studying when I got home and not watch TV and relax. Once I get into relax mode, it's too hard to come out of it. So, I studied while I ate dinner, then took a break and hit the gym, then studied some more, then gave myself about an hour to wind down before bed. I only have that tedious scheduled Mon-Wed. It helps if I keep reminding myself of that.
I should report on how I've been feeling. Am I tired or depressed? Am I craving anything? No. None of that. I feel really good, actually. My head is clear. My mood has been good. I don't feel the slightest bit deprived, especially since I am able to add butter, olive oil, and dressing to my veggies. Even my PMS days were mild and my cramps were minimal.
This is definitely a way of eating that I can stick to on a permanent basis. I just hope it results in steady weight loss!
