I had a minor outpatient surgical procedure today, so I couldn't eat until 6:00 tonight! I was starving by that time, but due to the anesthesia I was a little nauseated. I still managed to eat some spinach dip and a slice of pizza, for a total of 614 calories for the day. That will do wonders for my calorie deficit, haha. =P
So yesterday ended up at more like 1700 cals . . was hungry just all day. I hate that, ended up eating about 200 cals worth of pretzels last night.
Today I did 3.1 miles on the tm in 39 minutes (mostly running, just some walking). The BPM helps me a lot, especially in the beginning . . . keeps me on track.
Was starving by 7:30am this morning but didn't bother eating because I've been doing that and am just as hungry by 9:00am. I feel like a bottomless pit lately.

This is another experimental day for me. I’m getting all of my carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables today. The egg whites, cheese and chicken have 0 carbs. I’ll see how I feel by the end of the day. I have been sticking to my eating plan and have lost 1.40 pounds since my last weigh in.
As for the nuts, I put them all in one little dish and eat them in-between the 3 meals to pass the time. I see how long I can savor a single pumpkin seed my longest time is 30 minutes. It's like chewing gum it gives your mouth something to do besides eating, it works for me.
Have a Good Day to All and Stay Focused and in Control,
If you're reading this & hungry & doing low carb, you may want to stop right HERE!
I'm going to put the times that I ate, just to give you all an example of how friggin munchy I am, ESPECIALLY @ work!

Today's Plan DRINK MORE WATER
Scale has been down all week. I am currently back to 143.6, down about 5 lbs of water from last week!! I'll take it
1/4 c. Pasteurized Egg White Powder
1 tbsp. Vanilla Pudding, sugar free, 25 calories
¾ c. Blueberries, frozen
3 Oranges
1 oz. Mozzarella Cheese
(2 pieces) 5.20 oz. ea. Pizza, DIGIORNO brand frozen
1/4 c. Onion
3.5 oz. Cabbage, green
26.95 grams Pecans, chopped, 40 calories
1 Tbsp. Pumpkin Seeds
11 Pistachio nuts
I'll make a protein shake out of 2 cups of water and the egg white powder, blueberries and vanilla pudding. I’ll have an orange every meal and nuts in-between meals.
I'll put the cheese on the pizza slices and I’ll have one for lunch and one for dinner. I’ll cook the onion in a little water with spices and add in the cabbage and sautéed until al dente and have half for lunch and half for dinner.
The Pizza was 370 calories per slice I had 2 slices so, sacrifices had to be made. I hope I make it I'm trying to wait and have a late breakfast hoping that might work if I eat lunch and breakfast close together.
Yesterday I ate about 1681 and today I'm at about 1300. I'm not counting properly so I'm not even sure about those figures but I know I'm eating terribly. New start tomorrow, gotta get it right!
I feel horribly bloated today though, my period is thisclose to starting and it's killing me. >.<
TOM showed up. I'm just not gonna win this month am I? <sigh>
b: 425
Don't feel like logging it all. Total for the day is about 1500 and I hope I'm done eating. Fatigue is crawling around me; wish it was 10pm I'd just go to bed.
Have a good weekend all!
