this morning, i woke up to 3 lbs above my LIW, a bloated stomach, and a lot of stress. i decided to do fage for breakfast and lunch, and then fish for dinner.
i actually managed fage for breakfast and lunch, a think thin bar after working out (similar fat/protein ratio as yogurt) and half of a leafy green drink. i took it into the restaurant and ordered fish - and was sipping my drink thinking it would be good to have the ginger and greens in my stomach so that i could poop - as constipation
or i've betrayed it.
i've been eating too much. this is true. i need to stay under 2000 calories, i've been eating 2300-2400 per day.
but last night was awful
i had been constipated for all of p3 - 3 days - and finally i pooped, but afterwards my stomach was still all distended and hard to the touch last night, so i went to bed. i slept well, but i woke up 2 lbs higher than yesterday, which is 3.2 lbs over my LIW
so i have to do a steak day today
my first day on p3 was amazing - let me preface this blog entry with IF I GAIN 10 POUNDS OVERNIGHT IT WAS COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!
i didn't do the adding things slowly thing, i just sort of jumped right into eating anything but sugars and starches.... so wish me luck for tomorrow's weigh in!!
today i ate ezekiel bread with almond butter and half a chocolate protein shake for breakfast, half an apple before pilates, half an apple after pilates, then lunch was a
well, i lost a little more than 18 lbs total. if i delete the 12 day stall, that means that i lost 18 lbs in 30 days. even though i was on the diet for over 40. i feel like i accomplished quite a bit, and i'm going to stabilize while doing some weight lifting and really making sure that i don't eat much more fat than i have to in order to keep my calories up around 1500.
i found an amazing resource : http://www.kickas.org/ubbthreads/ubb...&Number=143543
well, i've lost 14.6 lbs. yes there was an 11-12 day stall in therebut i still feel like i should have lost more by now. ok, i'm a vegetarian. ok, sure - i'm already out of the overweight category on the bmi scale. but DR S's description of women knowing when something is wrong with their bodies before it becomes noticeable on the outside applies to me! i can see and feel that my body does not want extra fat at the knees, hips and armpits!! so why won't it just come off already!?!?
