Another week, another loss! Down 2.6 pounds this week and another 1/2 inch on my waist. As of 9/21, my weight loss was a total of 16.8 pounds and 4 inches on my waist. By week 5 I had settled into a routine that was apparently working for me. Breakfast usually consists of a serving of Uncle Sam cereal with 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (USAM), a hard boiled egg, a couple of slices of bacon with a cup of hot tea. Mid-morning snack of string cheese. Lunch is a sandwich of some kind - either on flax seed bread, in a pita or on a tortilla with a small salad on the side or some kind of green veggie. Mid-afternoon snack is usually a serving of cocoa-roasted almonds. Dinner is usually a grilled chicken salad with oil/vinegar instead of dressing. I also discovered Fiber One cottage cheese. It's a good source of calcium as well as fiber. Throughout the day I drink water, iced green tea, hot tea, Vitamin Water Zero "Squeezed" flavor. If I've got any sugar/carbs left at the end of the day, I treat myself to some dark chocolate and a glass of red wine.
I know for some people the routine may seem boring, but for the first time EVER in my life, I find that I am eating strictly for nutritional reasons and not for pleasure, for emotions or out of boredom. I can't even describe in words how FREEING that feeling is. How about you? When/why do you find yourself eating?
