DROOOOOOOOL!!!!!

I just made 2 batches of my mom's famous (honestly... it's been in the paper) Chili Con Queso Dip! Without giving away the whole recipe, it's got sausage, tomatoes, garlic, onions and a ton of cheese. I worked out the calorie/fat/sugar content, and here's what I came up with. I estimated about 1 cup per serving (ended up being the perfect amount for me) and guessing about 10 cups(?) per recipe. For one serving, there is approximately 236 calories, 1.5 grams of sugar, 20 grams of protein, and 13 grams of fat. Not bad! Anyway, I ate my 1 cup's worth, and it was delicious!!!!

So this morning, I weighed myself, and had dropped a pound and a half! Yikes! I'm 137.5, which would be awesome if I wasn't trying to stabilize my weight. I wracked my brains trying to figure out how to bring that number up. Walnuts seem to have done the trick. I'm back to 138.5. I'm not going to worry overmuch about my food intake as long as I can be within half a pound of my final HCG weight of 139.0. So... now I know what to eat if my weight drops too drastically lol.

For breakfast this morning I didn't have any strawberries, so I blended just milk and 3 quarters of a canned peach. Divine, I tell you. God knew what he was doing when he put such wonderful foods on this earth!!

It was nice to be able to snack throughout the day. In addition to the walnuts, I also snacked on peaches, and had a Luna bar. Strictly speaking, I shouldn't have eaten the bar because it has a bit of flour in it, but it had less than 3 grams of sugar for the entire bar, so I just spread it out over a period of time. Plus, I was trying to get my weight up a little, and I know any kind of grain will give me a bit of a jump. It's so weird being able to watch my weight go up and down. I've never before had an issue of what I ate. I might gain a pound by nightfall, but then by morning I'm back to my weight from the day before, maybe even down half a pound or so. Now, though, I have watched my weight drop a pound and a half overnight, and watched it jump a pound within a few hours! Once my weight stabilizes, though, I shouldn't have this issue any more :)
