I had my iced coffee with Vanilla Unjury and then I headed for the gym. I'm happy to say that I achieved both of the goals I set for myself this past week: working out 4 times, and getting in at least 64 oz. of water a day.
After I came home I was ravenous, so I had a scrambled egg/cottage cheese pita for brunch/lunch.
This time with Smoked Tabasco. I was all set to make the cottage cheese pancakes again, but didn't have quite enough cottage cheese. That will be remedied quickly! I've been thinking about those since I had them yesterday morning.
I met my friend Carmen and two of her friends for dinner at Outback. I have been there once or twice....the one in Little Rock always has at least an hour wait, but I found out that it has some really decent protein choices. I went with the 6oz sirloin that came with crab legs. I got one side, so I chose the green beans. Here is what it looked like when it came to the table.
It was really, really delicious. I did discover that my crab leg cracking skills need some work though.
After I got home I had a serious chocolate craving and I remembered that I had these...
And thank god, because they really did the trick. They are small, but dense. Kind of like a more substantial Three Musketeers.
My totals for the day. Check out that protein! Woo hoo!
Thanks for reading!
Good job. I do think your body is in WTF. Mode. Kick it .up to 1000 cal or 1100 and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI really do think that's it too. I'm going to switch it up a little bit and see what happens. I've heard people talk about "calorie cycling". I need to investigate it.
DeleteI am feeling good about one thing though...in the past I've let slow weight loss derail me. I would be like "what's the point?" I'm really glad that this time I'm not feeling like that AT ALL. I know I've got to just forge ahead.
The higher my protein count is the better my WL is.. my PA confirmed that at my last fill... I average 100-115 grams a day.. and can still keep calories btwn 900-1100... I bumped my protein up slowly though like 10 or 15 grams/day a wk till I got there ( started at 60 a day)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck girl ( PS I work out 7 days a wk and this is a good amount for me but we are all different)
Wow! 7 days a week is amazing! What are your favorite workouts?
DeleteI would say your calories are really low. But I wouldn't expect more than 2lbs a week loss anyway, and you don't necessarily want more than that. 1-2 lbs is supposed to be the healthiest way and pretty standard for lap banders I think. I have my calories calibrated by MyFitnessPal and my fitbit. They're at about 1250 daily. I'd like to do less, but I keep my band on the loose side.
ReplyDeleteThat is really what I'm thinking too. Yes...I've had no fill yet. Basically I'm surviving on willpower alone. I don't get as hungry as I would if I had no band, but it can get pretty intense. I might play around with my calories a bit and see what happens.
