Hold my feet to the fire please! Accountability Mission Day 4
I did right putting this up last night. You folks were on it first thing. Now that's commitment.
You'll be all over my @$$ for yesterday. I'll start with the down right UGLY.
I did just 25% of my workout yesterday. No Mercy No Excuses so I've got 75% to do today. If I don't I'll have to humiliate myself and fess up tomorrow
.
On to the bad. Things went fine until dinner when I realized I did not have a soft protein that was on the list other than canned stuff or eggs. I had salmon and poached it to pass it off as a 'soft fish' per the instructions. It was firm and flaky and fooling no one.
Now on to the just plain stupid. I swallowed my gum. Last week I saw the title of a thread warning against gum swallowing and thought what are we ten year olds? What idiot swallows gum? Me idiot thats what
.
I was not talking, drinking, or anything like that. I was cooking my illegal fish when the gum hit the back of my throat and started to go down. I could not work it out the rear of my mouth using my tounge/ throat muscles, fingers or gag reflex. I'll never be a bulemic cause I could not make that happen either.
I have no clue what the solution is but I did not want it sitting in my pouch sticking to things. I guzzled water till it hurt and tried again, nothing comes up. Now its floating in the water so perhaps down is the only way out.
So I ate that illegal firm fish. Twice as much as I wanted and drinking immediately after to force the gum out of my pouch. Fish, followed by a glass of water then repeat. So far so good. Everything feeels normal. (There should be a piece of gum stuck to the back of my @$$ by tomorrow.)
At last the good. No other transgressions or idiocy to report except that despite the double order of dinner, calories were a little below my minimum of 800.
Calories 782/ protein 122 g/ carbs 21g/ fats 21 g
For the day I had one serving of tuna salad; 1 serving of jello; a three portion egg egbeater omlet with ff cream cheese; one protein shake; two servings of salmon; and one chicklet sized piece of gum. ETA: Liquids 104 oz ,of which 56 oz was plain water.
Today is day four of the 5dpt for me.
Day 4: Firm Protein - ground meat (turkey, beef, chicken, lamb), shellfish, scallops, lobster, fresh salmon or halibut.
Surprisingly I've discovered that on this 5dpt my calories are averaging within 200 of what I normally eat. I believe my suspicions are correct, and I should be eating more not less. Starvation mode may be why I just can't seem to loose. We will see once the results are in. Any thoughts on this family?

Monday was a great day for me. I completed day one of the 5 day pouch test. I did not exercise, I'm on a Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday plan this week-plus I was busy running tons of errands.
I was suprised getting on the scale Tuesday morning. I was down almost 5 lbs. Unfortunately I know its not true weight loss since Sunday I had quite a bit of sodium intake and since Monday was all liquids it was all water.
