First full day back in my own home since February 14 began with a luxurious sleep in until 10 am. It's funny, having gotten used to eating breakfast had me feeling 'drained' and in need of food immediately. I usually do not wake up hungry. And this wasn't hunger per se, but a feeling of needing energy. That's how I feel hunger these days, so it is taking a bit of getting used to. However, got a nice new 2017 low of 201.0 as a weigh in. To get back on my calorie average of 1650 per day, I was going to target 1000 per day this weekend, but I may take it easier than that and slowly catch up over the month. The last few days have shown me that I can lose despite eating more than target. In fact, I'm going to do a separate journal entry where I outline the differences between my current (hospital and post hospital) WOE, and what I did before. I am determined not to slip back into the WOE that caused me to retain an extra 10-15 pounds of water at all times. But I just don't know what aspect of my former WOE did that! Or, has my constitution simply changed since my procedure? Don't know but I need to write it all down so I can refer back to it in the future. Cheers! UPDATE: Walked a total of six miles today as I get that back on track. But ate more than 2200 calories as I did dinner a little late and was famished. Denise made amazing chicken breast, ham, and cheese rollups. To die for! But pre-bed weight didn't suffer too much.
