I was 150 this morning. I was 150 on Friday! It is now WEDNESDAY. And all I've done since then is peak and valley (I made that into a verb).
Frustrating. Obviously.
The last few mornings I haven't even felt skinny. I've felt full and not in the mood to get on the scale... even when I made sure I had exceptionally light dinners! And my instincts were right, I was as high as 151.5 two days ago. So even though I've been eating meticulously since Friday, instead of losing weight I've plateaued/gained.
SNORE.
I did exercise today. I mean, I had to do something. So I did three on demand workouts (which may or may not have included fitness belly dancing -- I love Exercise TV.) AND, and this is exciting, I downloaded the, "My Fitness Pal" App. Very cool, if you have an iPhone I highly recommend it. I can input everything I eat and it helps me count calories. I've been on a 1200 calorie diet, and I've tried to stay just under that (obviously), but today my fitness pal yelled at me. Apparently I am not eating enough calories and there's a chance it will slow down my metabolism or send my body into starvation mode. So I have to eat more. Fine. 17 days until OBX.
Good! 1200 calories and working out is definitely not enough! I'm glad that program knows it too!
