Thursday, Sep 20 2007 - Thursday....TGI (Almost) Friday
View MERCYME's food & exercise for this day
It's Thursday evening, about 4:44 p.m. I'm getting hungry for my evening meal. I've been famished lately. I think it's psychological. Ever since I re-did my personal profile, it dropped my daily calorie intake to 1,200. So how does ANYBODY survive on 1,200 calories? I certainly can't. So, I'm making sure I get in a good work out every day, so I can net 1,200 calories comfortably. I'm hungry tho., so I need to make some more adjustments. I think some more fiber (fruits and veggy's) would be a good place to start. I craved some blueberries after my cardio run this afternoon....had a cup of them with some no-fat cottage cheese. It was tasty.
Tomorrow is weigh-in day. Ugh, I'll just be so disappointed if I don't lose a pound. I feel like I've been working hard, but know that I will hit some plateaus along the way. Just gotta stay the course, yes?!
This weekend my husband and I are going to get away for a couple of days for a belated anniversary celebration. I'm looking forward to it. It sounds like the weather is going to cooperate too

I'm going to try to log all of my eating over the weekend, to see how good my decision making is while on "vacation".
Have a good evening all....
Mercy

I have been following Dr. Dean Ornish's "East More, Weight Less" book and I often have trouble hitting 1000 cals a day.
The trick has been, NO meat, VERY little oil or butter. EVEN OLIVE OIL. Many say "but its a good fat." Maybe for your heart, but it will still pack on the pounds.
I have always been a SERIOUS carnivor. I loved wings and burgers. But this veggie diet is great. And filling! The trick is grains, and beans, plus fruits and veggies.
Check out my diary to see what I actually eat.
Good luck and stay strong
