I’m actually surprised I didn’t gain more this week, considering that I ate all the food that has ever existed! I guess listening to one’s body, eating when hungry (and not trying to say, ‘there’s no way you’re this hungry body, I will starve you!’) and stopping when full (or a little less) actually didn’t do any damage. Go me! Maybe I’m getting somewhere with this intuitive eating thing.
I didn’t track my food all week - it was my birthday, I was on vacation, and frankly, I didn’t care.
So -
March 1, 2009
Breakfast: oatmeal (1/2 cup each oats, soy milk, water) with peanut butter & apple butter
Lunch: Quizno’s tuscan turkey (small) and broccoli cheese soup; Dr. Pepper
Dinner: 1/2 of a cod filet with rice & mixed veggies; 2 glasses of wine
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: Crappy-ass 2 mile run before turning ankle
Weight: 148.4 (+1.8/-4.4)
So - since I gained 2 pounds in 2 weeks, it’s obviously time to get back on track. I’m not expecting quite as many burgerville stops, pizzas, happy hours, mexican food & donuts to surface in the next few weeks, though…and honestly, my clothes are as loose as they were before, so I think the weight might in part be due to the fact that I did not drink water like I should have last week, and ate a lot of salty foods…I think some of it will drop off pretty easily.
And now - back to the grind!
