Short post today, I'm still stressing out about yesterday's topic. I've managed to keep myself on the program, mainly I think due to already having the meals planned and sheer habit and stubbornness.
Yesterday's meals:
Breakfast: Oatmeal, banana - 10 points
Lunch: Tomato-beef broth, turkey pastrami wrap- 14 points
Snack: Greek yogurt with applesauce - 3 points
Dinner: Curried chicken & rice, milk - 22 points
Dessert: Pudding with Cool Whip - 4 points
Total: 53 points
On a slightly positive note, I did next week's meal plan and grocery list this morning and it went pretty smoothly. I'll talk about what I did differently in one of next week's posts.
Dont give up on it sapph. 2.3lbs a week is good progress. I know when you do the math that it looks depressing, which is why i personally dont worry about that when i go on a diet. As long as the number keeps falling every time i get on the scale, i'm happy. If you need some extra tips ive learned along the way, please dont hesitate to ask me. Catch me in-game, message me on FB, hell even call me (just remember i'm 2 hrs ahead lol). Keep you chin up hun, you're moving in the right direction :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there Erin, 2 pounds per week is amazing, seriously!
ReplyDeleteI know your calculations are showing that you have a really long road ahead of you, but you are doing it, and I have to think that it will get easier as you get used to it.
As for thinking that it is some sort of failure to adjust your original goals - that must really really suck. But you know what would suck worse? Giving up! And you are not doing that. What you call "stubbornness" I would call dedication! I think the trick is keeping it challenging enough to be effective, but do-able enough that it is sustainable. Blah blah blah that's what everyone says, I'm sure, but it is really true. I think you should readjust your goals, now that you have more data, and be proud of yourself for what you have accomplished and are continuing to accomplish.
