Good Day :)

So, I woke up yesterday and got all bummed because the scale still said 148.5. A while later, after it was too late to reweigh, I remembered that I'd forgotten to take my robe off! Ugh. I hate not having an accurate weight for yesterday, because today I'm 147, and I don't know if maybe I stalled today, or lost yesterday and gained today, etc. The reason I'm in such a snit is because I added a new thing yesterday. When I went to get water bottles yesterday to stock up for my trail ride (love horsies!) I discovered a flavored packet thing (goes in the water bottle) that is 5 calories and has stevia, lemons, and raspberry juices). If I don't have an accurate weight every day, how am I supposed to know if something I ate is something I shouldn't eat again while on the low calorie diet?!

Anyway, on to yesterday's food. I ate my breadstick at the beginning of my ride, and then took my drops. A while later I started drinking my flavored water. Along the ride, every time I had finished about half of my water, I'd pour more water into it, to make the flavor last longer. I drank about 48 ounces that way. We stopped in a field and I ate my tomato. A while later, after goofing off for a bit, we continued down the trail, and I ate my chicken, and then had more drops. A few hours later I peeled my orange, and grazed on that over a period of about an hour and a half, all the while drinking lots of water (I brought 5 bottles with me, 16 ounces each). My friends and I got back to the barn about 5:45ish, and I made my dinner by 6:15. I ate it around 7... chicken, applesauce (so super yummy!!!) and cabbage, and of course, my breadstick. I didn't finish all of my cabbage, because I got full, so I finished it about an hour later and took more drops.

I really had no hunger yesterday until right before I started my dinner. I'm so happy this is going so well for me!!

Today, I've learned from yesterday's experience of not eating my whole lunch all at once. So, I ate my chicken, half a tomato, and half of my strawberries, and my breadstick for lunch. If I start feeling hungry in an hour or so, I'll go ahead and eat one or the other.
