You are welcome to friend me to look at my diary. A lot of it is that I have not really seen anyone this summer. I go to work and I come home. This means no temptation and lots of time to exercise. Hmm what else have I done? I have tried to keep my eating to about 1300-1400 calories a day regardless of how much I exercise. I have refrained mostly from going out to eat. Rather than eat meals, I eat when I am hungry, and only eat 1 thing. I then have much more control and can eat 5-8 times a day! I have been lifting hard, so have been drinking a protein shake, and while I question the muscular benefit, I think all that protein is quelling my hunger as well as is giving me a dairy serving. Finally, when I am feeling hungry or need something sweet, I bought a chewable fiber supplement. It actually hits the spot. I recommend the weight loss strawberry name brand. I just bought the assorted fruit walmart brand, and the flavors are good, but it is much more chalky. Life changes next week with moving and starting my dissertation etc, so we will see if it holds.
