Today's weight: 179 pounds
Pounds to lose: 44
I made some mistakes this week. I was gratuitously adding what I thought was sugar free creamer to my tea two or three hearty quarter cups (maybe a little less) at a time. I realized however the folly of my ways when I looked at the serving size (1 tablespoon) and that the sugar free creamer did in fact contain sugar. So, I think part of the reason I did not lose more than one pound this week was due to the extra sugar consumption :(. This morning I have tea with almond milk and Splenda. I know that THM discourages Splenda, but I don't really like the taste of Stevia at this point. Maybe that will come.
The meals continue to be delicious. I just have to be careful with portion size. I exercised one time this week, but I question the wisdom of that. I am still recovering from child birth, and I think that set me back a bit. I really want to exercise, but I think I'll have to ease into it.
And there were a few times that I gave into indulgence--having candy and sweets and chips I knew I shouldn't be eating. It is getting easier to resist it though, especially when I fill my tummy with protein rich foods. That is definitely what was lacking most in my diet before--protein. I filled my stomach with junk that just made me more hungry and more lethargic. This morning I had a turkey sausage patty, fried egg, and cheese wrapped in a low carb wrap. I feel full and satisfied. Before I would have had toast and been hungry twenty minutes later.
This week I am looking forward to getting the okay from my doctor to exercise and also not going crazy with the creamer I now know is full of sugar!
