Diet Daze

Today went very well.  I ate just what I was supposed to, and I had a really great workout.  I’m also not hungry at all.  It’s only 10:40, though, and I don’t go to bed until 2 am, so there’s still time, lol.  I do have a planned snack, though, so hopefully that will carry me through until tomorrow, which is WI day.  Today the scale showed the same as yesterday morning, but I’m already below what I was this morning, so I think tomorrow should be a good WI, too.  I need one of those, so I’m pretty excited to see how it turns out.

I’m going to a wedding this weekend, and I tried on one of the size 10 dresses I bought a few weeks ago that didn’t really fit.  It’s very very close to fitting now, so I’m hoping that if I do really well the rest of the week that I will be able to wear it.  As a side benefit, wearing it might help motivate me to avoid the cake, lol.  I think if I had DH zip it for me, I could wear it, but it’s too snug to zip myself just yet.  Although, I would hate to bust a zipper and have to wear it all night long, so I won’t go that route unless it really does fit.

Here’s what I did today:

d	Calories   Eaten 745   BMR* 1,900   Exercise 571   Total Burned 2,471   Differential -1,726

This does not count the strength workout I did (about 40 minutes), and it was circuit training, so I probably burned about 200 calories in that alone.  My concern is that my calories are under 800!  It’s no wonder I’m hungry at the end of the day.  I’m eating what I’m supposed to, but they say it should be around 1000-1200 calories, although I don’t have to count them.  I find this quite puzzling.  I may ask them something about it this week.  As I said, I have a 100 calorie snack planned if I get hungry, so this could change a bit around, say 1 am, but not too shabby for today.  I also don’t have any baked goods coming out of the oven to tempt me, so tonight should be a good night.  The baking is over for a while now, thank goodness.
