Another fairly routine day. One thing I did notice today was that I got hungry a little later in the day then usual. I'm hoping that means my body is starting to get a handle on the new eating habits (though that's unlikely this quickly). Today had no major challenges, though after getting home I did start craving a burger and fries (a big burger and a lot of fries to make matters worse). It's too early in the process to start cheating.
My plan had been to not weigh myself again until I hit some kind of significant round number (25K, 50K or 100K), but I've been hearing from people that that is a bad strategy. My thinking is that doing so refocuses the game onto pounds lost rather than on calories saved. Other people tell me that regular weigh-ins keep you focused and let you track what is, and isn't, working. If anyone's reading this, what do you think?
Another standard day for food. I think this weekend I might try and find something different. Cheerios for breakfast again (300 calories), Turkey sandwich for lunch (500 calories), and chicken breast tenders grilled in olive oil with whole wheat noodles and green beans (700 calories). No snacks today, though somebody brought a cake into the office and I came close.
Today's Results:
Daily Food Total: 1500 calories
Exercise: 0
Points Earned: 1500
Total Points Earned: 10800
Points to go: 189200
Periodic weigh ins are probably good (like every three days or every week). Especially as you progress, you'll want to monitor if you are plateauing or if certain things are or aren't working. But daily weigh-ins would probably be disheartening.
