Day 17 of this new way of eating
6 days ago I weighed in at 203.2. Today I weighed in at 203.8. Tomorrow will be one week and I am up 1/2 a lb from last week instead of recording a loss. Of course I realize it could be different tomorrow. We'll see. If I wasn't being honest with my food I would understand but I am being honest. STOP!!! Be grateful that it is 203.8 this morning Moose!! Seriously!!! Expectations mess me up all the time. Process, patience, let my body do what it needs to do. Stop thinking negatively. Believe. Breathe. Don't be in such a hurry. (all easier said than done by the way)
Today is a paid holiday. Hubby is working. It is a paid holiday for him too but extenuating circumstances with the project that is still going on require him to be there today. I was going to "sleep in" but found myself awake (without the assistance of the alarm clock) so decided to get up and make him breakfast anyway. In fact, I too had breakfast. Woke up hungry. Did you know that even if you eat 4 eggs and 4 slices of bacon that still doesn't add up to 50 grams of protein??? Wow. Usually I through a little cheese or feta in with my eggs. Today I did not. Oh well. I felt full when I was done so that will have to suffice.
For only 4 days of work this week it felt very full. I'm happy to be a recluse today at home. Not sure what I'll do yet. There is plenty to do ... just don't know what I'll focus on. I do need to see if I can locate my box of checks!!! I hope I didn't accidentally destroy them. I have one check left in my checkbook and I KNOW I had a full box somewhere. Or at least I think I know. LOL!!! That's what happens when I clean and re-organize. I can't find anything!!!
I think later I might do Pilates too. Don't want to right now ... not on a full stomach.
I am still a bit of a grumpy Gertrude. It is partially my weight, partially the decrease in the sunlight, partially the realities of finances, partially the intimate changes that have occurred in our life as a result of the cancer my husband has survived ... it is what it is and I do continue to trudge onward.
I can however say that I am much less HUNGRY eating this way. I am hungry when it comes to meal times but before I started eating this way I was hungry every couple of hours!!! Not now. And although I still "want" to snack on occasion during the evening it is MUCH decreased (almost typed deceased ... I wish it would die!!! LOL!!). So ... perhaps in time my body will reset itself as others have suggested and will indeed become a fat burning machine? Clearly this way of eating feeds my body better than simply calorie counting.
It still puzzles me though that 3 years ago I was able to calorie count and lost 60 lbs in about 6 months. Not this time. Not by a long stretch. I do know I am not "alone" in this ... JC, Sharon, Squiggly, there are many others who write about carefully watching what they are eating (some exercising - some not) and their scales do not appear to be recognizing their efforts.
Grateful though I am ...
1. For silly toddlers who make me laugh
2. For being satisfied with the food I consume
3. For a relaxed day at home to do with as I please
4. For good hot coffee on a chilly day
5. For life.
Take care ... enjoy ... be good to yourselves. It is a never ending journey for me to be kind to myself. I am indeed a work in progress!!
