had a good week calories wise. this is my 3rd week of diligent counting and i'm noticing that my cravings are down and less calories is easier to achieve which is nice. i already plugged in my food for tomorrow and am having brunch with a friend, so estimated as best as i could for my favorite meal, at my favorite restaurant, if i have a lighter dinner, i will still be within my target!
this week was a little frustrating because the scale ebbed and then only slightly dropped, .6 lb net loss for the week. that is a hard pill to swallow seeing as how i have put in a LOT of effort food wise; i had almost zero added sugar (i think just some dried cranberries in a salad, maybe a little sugar in one salad dressing) and few refined carbs (one hamburger bun)... and have passed up numerous treats this week and ZERO sweets - so basically a lot of hard work... for .6 loss.... i get discouraged and think, well, i could just eat as i normally would and be .6 lb heavier and who cares about that?!?!?!? its frustrating, but i need to remind myself of the bigger picture that i'm down 5-6 pounds in 3 weeks which is great. i want to do this slow and steady and not crash diet... but it's hard. no one said it would be easy though... if i keep up 1.5-2 lb down per week i will reach my goal in due time. ugh.
also i think the expenditure estimates here are about 500 calories off of BMR, but i am going to keep watching it. the scale is not showing the same as these numbers and i gotta figure out what is up...
anyway... just an entry to remind myself to KEEP IT UP!
