It's not fair. Did I weigh wrong yesterday? I weighed both times first thing in the morning... There's no reason I should weigh 1.2 lbs more than I did yesterday :( I am so sad. There are a couple of hard things about dieting. The great thing about weight watchers is you don't have to eat certain food. You can eat what you want, it's just mostly about portion control and not over-doing it, which makes sense.
The #1 hardest problem I have is this: I eat wayyyyy tooooo faaaaast. Eric fusses at me for it all the time. I scarf down my food as fast as possible. He always asks me "did you taste it?" I can trace this back to when I got my first 'real' job at subway. We got 15 minute breaks. At 15-16 years old, I could eat as much as I wanted, of course, with the metabolism of a teenager. So, on my 15 minute break, I would eat a 6 inch sub, a cookie or two, drink my drink, and sometimes have ice cream, and still have time to chill out before jumping back on the job.
Anyway, eating fast is no good. It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain it is full. So, if you eat a full meal in less than 5 minutes of course you're still going to be hungry. My problem is not getting up and searching for more food.
So here was my food plan for today:
Breakfast pt. 1- 1
I had a green apple before my workout
Breakfast pt. 2 - 1
After workout I had a slice of turkey bologna, which is awesomely only 1 point.score.
Lunch - 6
What I had yesterday was great, so I duplicated it
1 tortilla - 3
2 oz chicken - 2
.3 oz shredded cheddar cheese - 1
a pinch of lettuce, 3 tbs hot sauce, 3 tbs salsa - 0
so daggoned tasty. It will be a frequent, for sure.
Dinner - 8?
It's hard to tell. I had some of my gramma's homemade vegetable soup. I done some research, and decided:
1 cup homemade vegetable soup - 6
17 mini crackers - 2
It was so worth it. SOOO yummy in my tummy.
So, so far today I've had 16 points... crap. I have a few to go... what should I have? I need to keep in mind that soup may be more than 6... But I need to get as close to 23 as possible... I'll probably have some marshmallows or another half cup of soup or something.
Oh, and the workout I did today? Turbokick. Dude, rough. So intense.
Ok. First things first. You GAIN and lose every day. Water weight is huge, if you drank a ton, you'll probably weigh more. And always, remember that muscle weighs more than fat. If you go by weight and what the scale says you'll never stick with this! Go by how you feel, weigh yourself once a week, not once a day. If you do it once a day, don't be hard on yourself if you go up. It's very very natural. I generally gain around 5-10 pounds when I start eating better and exercising, I put on muscle very fast, and lose fat much slower lol. Hang in there and don't hard on yourself!
