Well, I am not too happy today. I am up +1 from yesterdays weight... Which was 268.7 since I didn't have time to blog. I have gone over everything that I shoved in my mouth and I know for a fact that I did not stray or go over my 500 allotted calories. I was actually UNDER! I don't normally count my calories but yesterday I did. I just wanted to get a feel of what I was actually consuming. Fruit and veggies are so low that you can actually eat more then you think in a meal. Now that I know that I roughly have an extra 100 calories left after everything I will up one or the other with each meal.
My hunger pains have subsided and I am starting to find that I am not hungry at the end of the day. Sometimes I feel like I can't even eat all of my meal. If this happens, I leave the Melba toast out. I can't stand the stuff anyway. I did discover different flavors of Melba toast when I was at the grocery store the other day. I was in a rush and didn't buy any so I haven't looked to see what the ingredients are. Tomorrow is grocery day, well after the World Cup, so I will check them out then. You may find this disgusting, I know some will appreciate it, but I have been putting Tabasco on my Melba toast. LOL What?! It tastes better that way and it's only about 1/8 of a teaspoon. I can't help it. I crave spicy food.
I found a recipe for chili that I can't wait to make. I need more substance when it comes to the food we are allowed to eat. You can only do grilled chicken/steak so many ways. So, my question for today is... Has anyone substituted their beef for turkey??? I prefer turkey over beef, unless it is bison, anyway. I feel that it is a lot healthier as well. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I plan on making the chili tomorrow and would rather use turkey then beef.

I am so with you - gain, under 500 cals, all of it! GADS! Hang in there. :) I never liked the melba either so I haven't had it since R1, and I didn't eat it that entire round either. Gave it up the first week!
ReplyDeleteOH, and thanks for the encouragement! NEED IT TODAY!!
ReplyDeleteThanks to you too!!! Definitely need it today. I think I will drop the Melba. They have Melba crisps or something also. They are little round flavored Melba. For the most part everything is the same except for maybe 1 or 2 ingredients. I'm happy without it though. Keep on going! I'm right there with you.
