Goodmorning!
Wow. A day full of classes and meetings, lunch from god-knows-where, a large dinner, and a protein bar (since this was what was handy) to meet my protein goal - and I still only consumed 850 calories yesterday.
I did great at the meetings. I brought my own lunch, and had it in our break at 11, so it was just as when I always have lunch.
Then, of course, came the "real" lunch at 12:30. I wasn't gonna eat anything, but they had some nice sandwiches with good chunks of chicken breasts, so I took one apart and just had the chicken. Nothing else. It was good too, nice and juicy.
Dinner was a GREAT soup with chunks of beef. I just love when Wife makes soups. She's the best.
...
The scale says I am up 200g today. I don't really care. My body fat % is down by 1.5%, and my water is up by 1500g. There is a CLEAR fat loss, which is what matters most. If I behave through the weekend and stay away from the sugars and carbs in general, then the water will shed before I know it. I'm pretty certain I will reach my goals in time. All I need to do is to keep doing what I'm doing.
...
My eating right now is a little extreme on the low side. I'm doign okay though. I have a keen eye on my well being, and I make sure that I get all the nutrients I need for this to work.
Actually, my nutrients are what I focus on almost exclusively.
I eat ENOUGH protein and ENOUGH fat, and as little carbs as I can within reason. Most days I'm under 50g, and that is fine by me. I think this is a good place to be. Some days I'm WAY under, and very few days I'm just a tad over, but not much.
What do the Atkins people say? What's a good non-extreme number to reach for?
...
My workout is done, and I'm at work. I didn't do my walk just yet - Wife asked if we could walk this afternoon, and I would MUCH rather that she joins me. We had a very enjoyable morning, and it was nice to not have to be out the door at 5:45 to make it for both walk and workout.
I will wait having lunch until I leave at 1PM, then eat with Wife and then we'll walk. Sounds like a great beginning of the weekend. Boy do I need a weekend.
...
I'm actually very proud - and very surprised - that I managed to stay away from stress eating yesterday.
You see, I'm the superuser on MANY of the PC systems here at work, and there are a LOT of new, restrictive rules being implemented. People have to re-think and re-learn the way they work, and I was the one passing on the information at one of the meetings yesterday.
Talk about shooting the messenger.
I was as well prepared as I possibly could be, and after a while they started calming down and began to actually hear what the message behind it all was.
I think I did good. At least I got a great review from my leader. :)
...
Today is gonna be a great day. Workout done, early home from work, lunch with Wife, a nice walk, Baked Trout for dinner, and relaxation with a good movie or two. Does it get any better?
...
Today, I'm thankful for: - Wife! - FULL FOCUS and doing great! - Weekend!
Life is good!
