Breakfast: EAS CarbControl RTD + vitamins
Lunch: EAS CarbControl RTD + 2 c. cucumbers w/ sea salt & apple cider vinegar
Dinner: 8oz chicken breast, roasted cauliflower, bit of brown mustard for dipping chicken, iceberg lettuce with 2 tsp olive oil (must find recipe for salad dressing!), vitamins
Snack: EAS CarbControl RTD (2 hours before bed)
It occurs to me that this was probably under 1,000 calories for the day. Is that what it is supposed to be?? Won't I go right into starvation mode?
If this is what the program requires (such few calories), I will do it and not complain any further . . . but I need reassurance that I am doing it right or the "mental games" will wreak havoc with me.
Thanks!
YOU SEEM TO BE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT. IF YOU READ THROUGH THE THREADS, YOU WILL SEE THAT NEARLY EVERYONE FEELS THE WAY YOU ARE FEELING FOR THE FIRST 3-4 DAYS...THEN ONE MORNING YOU WAKE UP AND FEEL GREAT!
(Oops, sorry about the caps!) Don't look at the calories, there is an explanation for the low calories having to do with the amount of calories that your body will provide by burning the stored fat. I'm not good at explaining it but just "trust the process" as everyone will tell you. Follow the guidelines and you will lose! This program rocks!!!
Today was my WI and I am down another 1.8!!! Yay!
Slowly but surely it is all coming off! If I can lose 1.8 next week, then I will have reached my 2nd mini goal of 25 lbs total!
SIL invited me to go snowshoeing on Sat...I said yes, thinking about how to be prepared with food, space bags, etc...then I realized that I don't have any snow gear...no long johns, gloves (other than work gloves) ski pants...my winter coat is a huge leather one with fur lining it! Uhoh! I used to be into snowmobiling but I got rid of all my gear when I outgrew it! Plus I am not a winter person...not sure what to do...hmmm
