cocobutt's Journal, 11 August 2010

It amazes me that I would be the exact same weight to a tenth of a pound, 2 days in a row.

I know I didn't eat enough yesterday. I was having trouble going to sleep, thinking about how hungry I was. I ate under 1000 cals yesterday. Is 1200 calories a day really too low a goal? Maybe I need more 1800 calorie days, or maybe I should eat when I am actually hungry, regardless of what time it is.

Made me think about our Korean tai chi grandmaster from 8 years ago. The man was 60 years old, looked about 30, and was fit as a 20-yr-old. He hardly ate anything. I even recall him demonstrating how to eat air. Some fruit, some soup, and some strange tea that he brewed that had bark in it -- that was a typical day for him. Surely he had to be getting more calories from some other source. Never saw him at the Krispy Kreme drive-thru though.

Today I'll be going with my mom, aunt, and niece to see a kimono exhibit at the art museum. We're supposed to go eat sushi afterwards. No rice. No rice. No rice.

9:30pm Confession. I had 4 pieces of nigiri sushi, so I had rice, rice, rice, rice. Small pieces though. They didn't have a cheap sashimi option so I went with the lunch special.

Then I didn't feel like cooking tonight since hub is OOT. I picked up a steak supper with wild rice and salad from my favorite Lebanese restaurant. It was wonderful, but I ate more than I should've. Still I don't think my calories even got to 1800 today. I definitely feel overfull and will not want to eat that much tomorrow.

Definitely not sushi rice. Glutinous rice has a glycemic index about equal to corn syrup. Try a sashimi instead. Definitely don't go below 1200 calories. It will slam you metabolism and you'll be in plateau city. I find I can't go below 1400 calories, so you may ned to raise your minimum to 1800.

Rune, I tried to eat 1800 calories and it's more than I wanted. I'm kinda glad!

LOL...Nice to meet you cocobutt, I love your profile photo as it goes right along the lines of my journal today. Interesting information about eating air. I never knew or heard about such a thing but wouldn't hurt to try. I wonder how many calories it is for a couple bites...lol. Thanks for stopping by. TOWANDA!!!
