R1M1D11 (-0.8 LDW)
I was a bit short on calories yesterday hovering right at 1500 calories so, thankfully, I lost a wee bit. I feel much more comfortable 0.8 below LDW then 0.8 above! I will try to get my calories back up to 1700 but maybe for today I will aim for 1600 and see what my body does with that amount. I should also note that I have switched back to the organic whey shakes that I used during vlcd. Maybe the sucralose (no matter how minor it was) had an effect on my results last week. So I will tuck it away and use it sparingly later when I am doing more exercise.
Had a few new foods from the 'no caution' food list yesterday. I enjoyed a pear and I made a meat sauce for supper that I put right on my salad while the family had spaghetti. I am still using home made almond milk 2-2 1/2 cups a day. I never stopped. Haven't had chicken in a few days. I'm enjoying ground beef, shrimp and eggs for my proteins lately (and the whey shakes usually twice a day).
Tomorrow I get to start some 'caution' foods. Yay! I will have to think about what will be the first one I try. Keep telling myself, count calories, do it in moderation, and ENJOY IT!
My friend is having troubles enjoying his food as he is so afraid he will gain weight. Every time he fills his tummy he goes and exercises the guilt off, just to wake the next day and lost instead! He's working on it though. We all have our ways of dealing with life. We are all working toward balance. Intriguing how self-acceptance is the hardest balance to find for Most of us....if not all.
