Lucybell33's Journal, 02 April 2008

Still holding steady - I guess my body's just getting accustomed to this new, lower weight before moving on, but it better get shifting again soon!

Yesterday was the lowest day of the week for calories (1,200), but it was fine - I think I'm getting used to this new pattern of eating, and not feeling quite so hungry on the low days as I was. I went to the pub in the evening with the friends who'll be joining me for my health spa weight-loss reward, trying to pin down my solicitor friend to a date. She's waiting for a trial date for one of her big cases, and can't commit until she's got it - I mean, talk about getting your priorities straight!! We were hoping to go the first week in July, but it's looking like the trial will be in July, so we might have to postpone to August, which is fine - I'll definitely be well into maintaining at my goal weight by then! Anyway, what I was going to say was that I was really good, having a still mineral water, followed by a herbal tea (they couldn't do me my preferred choice of a skinny latte; I gave the biscotti to my skinny friend) and finally I thought I'd be adventurous and have a diet coke. YUK - that reminded me why I generally stick to water for cold drinks - it was SO sweet!!

Anyway, since it was a low calorie day, I just stuck to my scheduled 20 minute Dyna-Band workout yesterday and didn't add in an extra gym session this week. I didn't want a repeat of last week's gain following a big calorie deficit!

Hope everyone's having a good week so far - we're almost halfway to the weekend now!! :D

It's amazing how we adapt our bodies and brains to the healthy eating. Wonderful news that your hunger pangs are nolonger calling out to you on your low days. Superb restraint shown at the pub, especially when surrounded by friends which is the point when most people cave to their weaknesses - but you obviously don't have any! It's weird how we lose the taste for things after we've avoided them for so long. I haven't had a diet coke in a very long time, either. I wonder if it would taste good to me? Happy Hump Day!
