Just Give Me 10 Days - Round 152

6/1 116.0 Happy with this number and looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. Started the day with a 2 mile run and then a 2 mile walk on my munch. The dinner I made last night was kind of a fail, I attempted a curried butternut squash soup and then roasted Bratwurst on the side as the protein. The soup was a fail. I pushed through it but my husband couldn’t, so he ended up with chicken steamed pot stickers from Trader Joes and some of the Bratwurst. Tonight’s dinner will be sauteed chicken tenderloins with basic spices, brown rice and mashed turnip (I have CSA turnip to cook so the rice is for my husband in case he’s not a fan of the turnip). Breakfast today was an egg, 100 gms of the Bratwurst, sauteed spinach and toast with cream cheese. It was solid and very filling. My snack were strawberries and grapes plus a sliced up cucumber with Everything But the Elote seasoning from TJ’s. Have a good night!
6/2 checked in from mobile.
6/3 115.2 Did not post but was very excited about this number. (Did a 2 mile run in the morning and a super short walk during the day.)
6/4 115.6 Did not post but was cool with this.(20 minute spin bike workout and only a mile walk during a work break.)
6/5 Did not weigh this morning but everything was good foodwise yesterday. For an easy dinner, I ordered out from B. Good and got a Chipotle chicken sandwich for around 600 calories and tried their eggplant ball things with hummus. Having that for dinner put me right at maintenance level which was a good treat after being in a deficit all week. I have a lot on my agenda for today and designing a strength training program for myself is one of them. I also have to blanch and then freeze a bunch of spinach we have from the CSA. We have 5 8 oz bags of it in the fridge and I’ve eaten so much over the past month or so. I’m so sick of the fuzzy weird feeling your teeth get from the oxalic acid in it, that I just need a break from it. Have a good day all!
Ps. A break through has been made with my husband…after him working in a rehab hospital for almost 3 months and seeing the lifelong effects of a poor diet on essentially all of his patients, he’s truly decided to continue eating healthy and stress eat less! He also watched some Youtube video clip explaining how the brain creates new neuro pathways whenever you eat an unhealthy meal (think high in unhealthy fats, salt and sugar meal). So, then after eating that unhealthy meal, it causes you to want more unhealthy/bingey types foods. So, he has decided to limit the amount of not the greatest takeout he gets.

6/1 - 178.7 - Good way to start! Going to row. Soon I'll be on the water in my kayak but today it's in my basement on my waterrower - if I close my eyes, it sounds like you're on the water.

6/2 - 178.0 - Down 5 pounds! I need to learn from my past where I slowly slide back into old habits and gain that 5 pounds back again:
No sugar - my cravings have subsided so much. I'm better able to control myself when those moments happen that make me want to binge. Also, I won't fool myself as I've done in the past that I have more "willpower" now and can handle it. I have more willpower because it's a physical thing with not eating sugar. I've fallen for that too many times and after one day, I'm off on a month-long binge.
Water - drinking water really does help you to stay full or maybe it's also that I'm not really hungry but thirsty. I was going around so dehydrated.
And lastly, Milk - I was drinking my calories. I love milk but also think it was my way of making up for not having sugar. I've stopped it for now too because I have really bad eczema and hoping it may be part of the cause.
Second lastly celebrate all the small changes instead of focusing on my long-term goal, whatever that really ends up being. Oh man, I could keep going but I'll stop!
6/3 - 178.0
6/4 - 177.5 Great to see but I weighed a little later this morning than normal so may be off. We'll see over the next few days.
6/5 - 6/4 - 177.7 Don't mind a small jump up at all - so glad to stay at 177.X. I noticed a NSV over the past few days. My ankles are no longer swollen. I contribute this to all the water I'm drinking, and maybe not having wheat while I try to determine why my eczema has gone whacky. Love it when you start seeing results on the scale and other ways - there is no better motivator!!
6/6 - 177.2 Surprised to see a drop this morning. I expected it to go up a little after eating popcorn last night. It was air popped and fit into my calorie limit for the day, but with the salt, I thought I would have a little water weight this morning. I always think of popcorn as unhealthy but was reminded when I looked it up in my Healing Foods book that it's actually healthy, if not loaded up with butter and salt. A really good way to get your fiber, too.
