Whatcha eating today? Thursday, 12/8/2016

Busy day for me, so this will be a quick post.  I hope you're all having a lovely Thursday.  I'm getting ready to go outside and run.  It's cold and wet and gross and I feel icky, but... oh well.  

1: protein shake
2: smoked salmon (since this was so delicious yesterday!)
3: leftover grilled filet mignon, leftover brussels sprouts -- OMG you guys, I'm going to be home for dinner and it's Thursday!  And I don't have any more Tuesday/Thursday late afternoon/early evening classes!!  REJOICE!!

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: running and yoga for post-run stretching

How about you?

Woohoo for you for being home on a Thursday for dinner!

The sale only moved down .4 but i'll take it! One day at a time. Trying to keep it smaller portions and less snacking.

B shake

L left over cauliflower mash, BBQ turkey meatloaf

D franks and beans

S if needed but trying not to, made 1/2 portion containers of greek yogurt with berries.

Liquids on track!

Exercise doesn't exist. Maybe Saturday morning? Today is only a 10.5 hour work day.

Good morning,  Everyone.

Happy Thursday!

Breakfast - salmon

Lunch - Dijon lime chicken

Dinner - Pizza casserole

snack - small handful of almonds

I really enjoy the foods I make, but my body just wants to eat more often. Weight loss is unpleasant - even losing these couple pounds has been tough.  But I am going to do it because losing 10 pounds or 20 pounds will be even harder.  And I know what it is like to be morbidly obese.  So I struggle on. 

I always try to shift my meals so I eat breakfast after 10AM, so I can have lunch at 2pm and dinner at 7 pm. Then I have my snack at 9 and go to bed before I'm tempted to eat again.   But my body wants to eat every 3 hours, and that would lead to weight gain.  And especially when I've been cutting back on calories, its really hard to wait.  I've been resisting eating breakfast for 2 hours now.  But if I eat early, I'll probably need to add a 4th meal, and that will blow the weight loss for the day. 

Whoever said that WLS was the easy way out!  I'd like to see that "easy" part.

I find I am waiting for the times of the day to come to eat. I normally have breakfast at 8 at work. Then I used to snack around 10 but I have tried to stop that and have been doing well. Between 12-12:30 I have lunch. If I snack its between 3-4. Dinner is anytime after that. I try not to late night snack, if I do I try to be good. It isn't easy. Working 10-12 hours a day 5 days in a row helps because I can only eat what I have on me. It's weekends that throw me off completely. I only lost .4lbs since yesterday, the day before that was -2. I mean, that's fantastic but my mind is like, "I ate so well, what happened?".

+6w1d out

B: Premier Protein

L: Turkey + Onion/Fennel (crock pot yesterday, super soft veggies)

D: Turkey OR Eggs OR Beans (undecided)

S: Another Premier Protein (between L & D)

V: Done

E: I've been cleared for all exercise, now I need to clear my butt out the door to do it.

An interesting observation -- food bores me.  Food used to excite me -- but now it's just something almost as mundane as brushing my teeth.  I don't enjoy eating.

I DO, however, miss the food I'm not supposed to eat.  Really only candy and melted cheese at this point.  I did have a misstep this last weekend with my old dance partner.  Aside from those two, I don't really care too much about bread or chips or pizza (except for the melted cheese on it).  I haven't missed San Diego Mexican food yet (San Diego Mexican is different than traditional Mexican if you haven't had it).  I did have a misstep this last weekend with my old dance partner.  I pulled some positives from the experience, but my 'core beliefs' came sneaking back in a bad way in the aftermath.

At any rate, I've stepped off on the right foot this morning, which is usually a good barometer of my day.

I know what you mean about how differently you feel about food now.  I'm at +6w4d out and I've actually heard myself say the words "Ugh, I have to eat again!"  LOL never thought that phrase would ever pass my lips!!!
