Small victories: I had to take a client out to lunch today.
1. When my morning meeting ended early, and I was hungry, I remembered I could go to the nearby Whole Foods, and I staved off hunger with a whole milk maple yogurt for 160 calories.
2. I did research to find a restaurant that my client would enjoy, but where I could get something safe to eat. I picked an Italian place with several options that would work for me.
2. I got there first, and as soon as I sat down, the waiter asked: Would you like me to bring you bread with olive oil and parmesan, and I SAID NO, THANK YOU, BUT PLEASE ASK AGAIN WHEN MY GUEST GETS HERE.
3. My guest arrived 10 minutes later, and she asked for bread and olive oil, AND I DID NOT EAT ONE SINGLE PIECE.
4. I ordered small caesar salad with no croutons and steamed mussels, and when the mussels came with lovely crostini, I TOOK THEM OFF THE PLATE AND DID NOT EAT ANY.
Unfortunately, all this discipline left me really hungry, so when I got home I needed a snack of turkey and cheese.... but I'm still doing OK.

Shocked to see a full pound gone this week -- and not sure I really believe it. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and stay off the scale until next Tuesday... Hoping for the best.

I am going to try to eat some cauliflower. I haven't had cauliflower in the nearly two years since I went low-FODMAP. So far, I know for sure I can't eat wheat, milk, cream or fresh cheeses, and anytime I accidentally (or deliberately for that matter) eat those things, I get really sick. I CAN eat limited quantities of peaches and almond flour, but I haven't tried pears or apples. I really miss cauliflower. This is especially true now, because I am trying to eat my protein with 2-3 servings of veggies and fruit, but the low-FODMAP regime really limits my options. There are so many things you can do with cauliflower, so if I can eat some, that would make things lots easier. And if I find I can eat cauliflower, then I will try broccoli. I'm hoping that I can get some fresh cauliflower off a salad bar at Whole Foods, so that I don't have to cook a whole head of cauliflower as an experiment. But I am really finding life is easier when I can make up a plate that is 1/4 protein and 3/4 colorful fruits and vegetables -- and I'm eating grains and sweet potatoes much less frequently than I was. Today I had asparagus, roasted carrots, and grapefruit and orange sections with salmon. Tomorrow I will make my favorite chipotle chicken, with green beans and sweet potatoes and avocado. The chipotle chicken has a nice tomato-ee sauce, so it sort of adds to the veggie count. I'll be really interested to see how this approach works for me.

Pretty pleased that the Vegas trip didn't bump my weight up. I am so hoping to see a real drop by next Tuesday's weigh-in.

Reality check: I weigh pretty much exactly what I weighed this time one year ago. When I realized this, at first I was very disappointed in myself. But as I thought more about it, it occurred to me that this is actually a significant achievement. I have lost 78 pounds, and I have kept it off for one year. I haven't weighed this little for at least 15 years. So it seems like I should be giving myself credit for that accomplishment. Now, if I want to lose another 10-20 pounds, I have to get much more disciplined than I've been for the past 9 mos. since I injured my shoulder and my exercise level dropped back. It's more and more apparent to me that I can't lose weight if I eat more than 1450 calories per day. The problem is, I am not very tolerant of feeling hungry anymore. It's not just the sort of stomach-gnawing feeling of hunger -- I actually feel unwell and cranky when I don't eat enough. That said, eating 1450-1600 calories per day is a maintenance level for me, so if I truly want to lose more weight, I have to BOTH drop my calories AND bump up my exercise. I think I'm ready. I've been making a lot of progress in cleaning and organizing at home, which makes it easier for me to take on other priorities. So... I need to get going and get the job done.
