I was 146.5 pounds yesterday, as I was the day before. Two things occurred to me. One is that I haven't been keeping as good track of my water intake as I had been, and my digestion has slowed down. My friend Susan suggested some smooth move tea, saying I should probably take it at night. I'm glad I didn't listen and got impatient lol. I drank the tea in the late evening, and in about 2 hours my body was doing its thing. I also made sure I drank a LOT of water yesterday. This morning I had lost a pound :)
Yesterday was the worst day I've had since starting this diet. Kaitlynn woke me up really early, and I had a really hard time waking up. On top of that, I got hungry a lot earlier than usual, so had to start trying to stretch my meal out at around 11 instead of 12:30-1 which is when I usually start eating. For lunch I ate chicken grilled with parsley and garlic salt, and drank my strawberry/lemon drink (Oh so good!!!) at about 12:30 I ate the last of my cabbage and bread stick. I was still kind of hungry :( To make matters worse Luke has been begging to make cupcakes. So I helped him make a batch (he got to add all the ingredients and stir them up... he is really starting to get into wanting to help cook). So now there were cupcakes and cake (from the leftover batter) sitting on the counter. I was guzzling as much water and tea as I could to try and stave off the hunger, and on my way to the store for dog food (around 4ish), I called Susan for a quick pep talk. Sounded something like this....
Me: "Susan, tell me again how hot I'm going to be when I lose all this extra weight."
Susan: "You're going to be really hot..... um, why?" lol
Susan reminded me that if your bowels don't move properly, it can add to feelings of hunger, and then suggested I come pick up a few bags of the smooth move tea from her. After I started cooking dinner, and munching on my bread stick, I started to feel a little bit better.
For dinner, I had grilled steak with salt, grilled asparagus, a bread stick, and an orange, which I ate a while later. After dinner, I didn't feel hungry anymore. I drank more tea (not the smooth move this time lol) and lots of water, and went to bed feeling very content, all food cravings gone, thank goodness! This morning I felt normal again... meaning not hungry, good energy, and no cravings. It's almost 11 and I have yet to really feel any kind of hunger, just thirst, which I've been taking care of with water and tea. It feels good to be back on track :)
