So today is the offical weigh in day for our group that is competeing. I am at 224, so thats down three pounds since Monday. I am happy, yet have a voice in my head saying you need to loose 70 lbs...whats that 3 gonna do. Then the voice of reasoning brings up it's 3 less that you have to loose. Does anyone else do this, it's such a mental game and I need to learn how to control it. For my bmi wieght I should weigh between 130-145. I have not weighted that since prob junior high and I was never over weight as a kid, or young adult really. I am hoping that I will be happy at 160 and healthy too. My goal is to be able to run 10 miles while my kids bike it, since they love to do this and ofcourse they have the energy to go for miles and miles. I have done pretty well with cravings, not over eating. I have been eating those yogurts that have the cake recipes and fat free pudding cups at night. So yesterday I ate yogurt for breakfast with a large coffee, had a large salad with some lunch meat, ham, and portillios dressing, some watermelon and dinner was two chicken legs grilled, blt pasta salad and green peppers. Then my beloved pudding cup. Oh I did have two afternoon beers with a friend, and I drink full leaded no light.
So as long as I can keep eating pretty normal I think I can do this, it's all about portion control for me.
