I did well yesterday, too! This seems to be easy. Now I know why those programs with the pre-packaged meals works so well. There is no thinking involved. No willpower. You just eat what's planned and you're done! I must say, it is kind of nice not to be constantly worrying about what food and how much food and the need for food ... I just eat what was planned and I'm good!
This is especially nice right now since my oldest is graduating from college in a few weeks and I am scrambling trying to plan it all out, get the house clean and figure out family coming in! Normally I'd be saying - let's pick up Burger King or order out. But with the meals firmly planned, it's easy!
I did gain .2 lbs overnight. Again - a fluctuation, I'm sure. I'll know a more realistic view of things after the week is over. I may keep this up for a while. The lack of stress alone is making this so worth it!
Today I do have that lunch at Longhorn, but I feel prepared for that. I'm going to choose one of the under 500 calorie meals and drink water. I will eat a lower calorie Lean Cuisine tonight to make up for it as well.
Okay, so I'm only three days into this, so maybe I shouldn't be so excited about it. But I just can't get over how EASY this is! (Again - I'm on day three, so it may get harder as time goes on).
I ate 1000 calories yesterday. I think that's a good amount. No headache today, though my eyes are still goopy! This is that love/hate time of year for allergies. So gorgeous outside and so allergy-laden!!
I did not ride the bike again - I decided I would sleep the extra hour rather than exercise. Bad choice. I ended up tossing and turning for that hour. I should have just gotten up and done the exercise. I will from now on. I had no headache excuse this morning - I just felt lazy. Won't do that tomorrow! I had kind of thought that with the diet, I could lay off the exercise and still lose weight (did I tell you I'm lazy??) but clearly that is not the way to go.
So another day here. So far so good!
