Olivia70's Journal, 24 January 2012

Scale said 119, which is lower than yesterday. I looked back a couple of days ago at my diet calendar when I weighed 117 to see what all my stats were. Turns out a couple of days before that I went over my recommended RDI, was eating very little total carbs, %-wise. I went over a tad in net carbs the day before I weighed 117. Don't know if this is a pattern yet or not, but going to try and get around 1500 calories in or so and see what happens. Trying to figure out of there is a science behind this or not.
Anywho, I am still happy because I'm still under 120 and I am losing. And the way I feel is enough for me honestly to make this a way of life.
I remember I stalled for 5 or 6 days at 121 before I saw 119 so 117 was a fluke.
Had a huge breakfast this morning. Hubby made me eggs and turkey sausage with 1/2 cup of sauteed spinach, all in butter of course, so my calories are up.
Lunch lately has been a challenge because I'm used to bringing frozen dinners, but there's no way I'm touching those things if I can help it, maybe never again. They are so bad for you. I've been buying lunch out which is getting pricey. I'm staying OP but need to figure out some lunches I can make. This way of eating definitely is more time-consuming but I feel the trade-off is worth it.
Went over by about 10 net carbs yesterday. In-laws took us to Pappadeux's and had a yummy Salmon dish, but I think the inclusion of nuts is what I need to watch. I had one serving, but they can add up. Don't know how to account for the cheese sauce on my salmon so I used another entry and it is I'm sure a very rough estimate. Sometimes there's just no way of knowing exactly how many net carbs you are eating when eating out.
Ready for the day, feeling great, and hope all my FS buddies have an awesome day!

It really is about becoming a lifestyle, nothing temporary, isn't it? Can relate to not packing a lunch when I'm rushed. Might pack it tonight before going to bed. Will work on that plan. ;-) You are monitoring your food very closely. Right on!! Encouraging to know that you once stalled for 5 or 6 days, then had a huge drop. Reminds me not to get hung up on plateaus. If the math computes, calories in and calories out, everything is fine. :) Good to hear you are feeling great - YAH for you!!!
