Well - I've been plateauing for a week. Not long, I know, but still frustrating. I've been eating well, upped my walking, watered down the Crystal Light but kept drinking at least 4 liters of water a day, and am doing well.
<cue ominous music > UNTIL TODAY.
In fact, today was fine, too - until I came home and looked at my chart and my calories and thought - come on! So I ate some snacks (too high in sodium) and TWO Jell-o puddings (60 calories each)...
See where I am going? Okay - so I overate. Shock! Gasp! My calories today total... wait for it... 1745. It's like a joke. I was feeling SO badly about overeating this evening, and then I had to take a step back and think: wait a second... that's NOTHING. Okay, I might be the same weight tomorrow as I am today, but probably not more... and I've been this weight for a week. Which is STILL more than 20 pounds lighter than I was six weeks ago...
SO. I feel full, and as if I have been 'naughty' - but I am also laughing. Two months ago, had I tracked my calories, I bet I would easily (EASILY!) have topped 3500 in a day of 'overeating'.
I just wanted to come on here, before I head to bed, and share these thoughts with my support group on this site.
How quickly I have changed. And how wonderful I feel about it!!
Take care all -
Heather
