So yesterday I experimented with eating and I'm reminded there is no one size fits all for weight loss. Yes at the end of the day it calories in vs calories out, but my body does different things from others and something from what I think it will do.
Anyway, so I had gained 1.6 lbs in a day after staying on plan. I ate late in the night, so Thursday I did pretty much the same thing except I didn't eat after 4pm. I usually weight myself as soon as I get up a 4am so that is a solid 12 hours for my body to deal with everything.
I had my usual breakfast, tunafish for lunch. I had a hunger headache again, which I thin is related to my homemade ice coffee. Its made up of 3 cups of coffee. I think its supressing my appetite and then when it finally wears off all the hunger comes shooting back. I am going to try and go back to the star bucks stuff I can buy at the super market.
I didn't eat lunch till 1 or 2 and then I was ravenous. The tuna fish took the edge off, but by 4 I was still hungry. I had 3 italian turkey sausage and after two I was satisfied, but I at the last one since I wasn't going to eat the rest of the day.
I thought about food when I got home, but wasn't actually hungry. I might have had a minor rumble when I was dozing off, but nothing to get up out of bed for.
After 3 trips to the bathroom (1 trip was a lil more solid than the rest) I was 361.8. Which is below my dietbet goal. I lost 2 lbs yesterday, even better I did this without working out.
So things I've learned. I need to give my body time to process food.
I need asnack after lunch. Even without the coffee I find myself getting hungry around 4 or 5.
I need to get out of the habit of eating when I'm supposed to and eating when I'm hungry which isn't always the same thing
I don't have to workout to lose weight, but it helps.
Since I'm a little less than 3 lbs from my first mini goal i'm cheating today. I have 6 days to finish dietbet and I'm going to be in the house all weekend because we're having a blizzard. I had a donut...it was awesome. I only had one. At point eating 3 in one sitting was normal. i had the one and was ok. I'm going to have sushi for lunch, and then for 5 days I focus on staying under goal.
I'm 90% sure I'll be doing dietbet again next month. This wasn't horrible and 21 day challenge will be no eating out since that is the thing that derailed me most this last 30 days.
I'm nervous, but excited to potential be in the 340s for the first time in a long while.
I'm not 355, but I think losing over 15 lbs, I'm going to do something for myself. I can either get hammer & chisel, or join daily burn. I'm pretty sure it will be daily burn. I want to try Bob Harper's program. In a good place and still learning.
Also I need to do more stretching, I can feel the difference when I don't, so I'll Be adding piyo or something to my exercise schedule.
Oh yeah and since I didn't eat or drink much after 4. Just a couple sips of water, last night was the first time in a while I wasn't up in the middle of the night to pee. YAY !!!
