My food choices have officially shifted!

I've been on MFP for about 5 months (lost about 14) and have been consciously exercising and watching what I eat for about 9 months (lost about 30 lbs total since last April). After a very long and grueling week in which I exercised and diligently and stayed very close to my daily caloric allotment, I woke up on Sunday absolutely ravenous. I was feeling really sluggish and tired as well. My usual portion sizes all went out of the window and I laid around and ate all day and was a complete couch potato. I did however; record everything that I put in mouth.

After looking at the fact that I had gone over my goal by about 400 calories, I could not help but notice that there was absolutely no junk food consumed. All veggies, nuts, whole grains, fruits and my protein was two egg whites and turkey meatballs! I was grazing all day and was craving only good stuff, no cake, cookies, ice cream or fried food . . . which was great since now none of that stuff is even in my house anymore.

This morning when I got up I felt fully refreshed and revived and received two compliments at work about how great I looked at how much weight I've lost! My jeans did seem a bit looser. That has never happened to me after a weekend binge (if you can even call it that). While I have not lost any lbs in the last 2 weeks, I now can see that I've made some significant changes in my overall health, lifestyle and well being and for that I am grateful. Can't wait for my evening workout!
