I'll be the second to inaugarate the new thread. Woohoo to us for finishing an old one! Good for us!
Echo - A 4 lb loss, good job!! That's really amazing, keep going!
Angela - Water weight, pfffft! I always get that too. I know it's water weight cause all my major muscles are sore. Just think though, in another couple of days, you'll have a whoosh!!
Hang in there, we're all rooting for you!
My weigh-in was slightly successful, I lost a lb since last weigh-in. Kinda lame, actually. I'm hoping a lot of it is water weight from yesterday's mountain trek. Oh well, my eating is a lot better today (so far). I'm finding it difficult/slower now that I've hit 160. I dropped pretty quickly from 172 to 160 (with a few blips, but definitely quicker once I got serious with my diet), but now I find myself getting impatient when I see a drop of 0.1 or 0.2 lbs (or less). Sigh. I need to be more patient but it's so hard when you've controlled your food intake and forced yourself to go exercise, you know? Blah.
Here's the rundown:
Breffix - 1 cup skim milk + 1 tbsp cocoa powder, instant Oatmeal (255 cals)
Snack - 2 slices multigrain bread (110 cals), one with 1 tsp walnut butter (34 cals) and the other with 2 tbsp homemade guacamole (32 cals)
I was REALLY excited that I was able to control myself to one tsp of walnut butter even though it's insanely delicious.
Lunch - 1 cup cooked white rice (200), 1/2 cup plain NF yogurt (65 cals), 1/3 serving of curried, spiced potatoes (225 cals), roasted okra & onions (104 cals)
Dessert - 2 pieces baklava (200 cals)
So far today: 1225 cals, meaning I have 375 - 575 cals to play with for tonight's dinner + snack. I'm definitely going to have a bowl of grapes, so I guess I'm left with 375 cals for dinner. Hmm...need to decide what that's going to be...
Edit: I totally veered off the straight n' narrow around 5 PM. We went to play tennis for 30 mins and geez. I got hungry. I had a finger lick of walnut butter (I swear!), peanuts (sigh, probably 1 oz, 160 cals) and dinner (noodles and veggies). Boo to me. This is why I like to sit around at home and NOT exercise. It makes me retain water and eat. Stupid exercise. *sulks in the corner*
Well anyway, good luck to everyone weighing in on the Biggest Loser Challenge! I weighed in today so if I see a lower weight tomorrow, I guess I could change mine to account for it, but I have a feeling it will go up. Haha. Whateva, tomorrow's another day!
Exercise - maybe tennis or a walk.
