Thurs. 1/16/14
Had a very restless night for some reason but despite that I've had a pretty fair amount of energy today which I'm surprised at. I know I'm only on day two of induction but I know the last time I did it I was really dragging by this point. I'm also not very hungry today so it seems that appetite suppression has already kicked in although I did wake up with a mild headache.
Let me preface what I'm going to say with the fact that I would never criticize anyone for doing WW. Everybody has to make their own choice about what works for them. When I was doing WW I did lose weight, no doubt about it. However I did experience hunger much of the time and I think that could've been due to the higher carb and fruit intake. I love fruit, pasta and bread but the bottom line is that I need to limit these food groups. There's a strong history of diabetes in my family and although I haven't developed it yet, it could be in my future.
I did struggle with water intake yesterday. I don't know why but for some reason once I get home I just don't feel like drinking water but I don't struggle as much at work. I'm going to try to drink most of my water during the day then have my last 16 oz with dinner or evening snack and see if that helps.
Time to get back to work!
I'm back! Time to post my menu for today.
Breakfast
Atkins breakfast bar
Coffee with two packets of Splenda
Two "triangles" of Laughing Cow cheese
16 oz. water
Lunch
Toppings off of three smallish slices of pizza
16 oz. of water
Snack
Toppings off one very small slice of pizza
16 oz. of water
Dinner
Protein avocado burger consisting of a hamburger patty (obviously), .5 avocado, .5 cup salad greens
.5 cup broccoli
16 oz. Ice sparkling water
I know dinner doesn't sound very spectacular but that hamburger patty was delicious! Sometimes simple food can be incredibly satisfying, especially when prepared properly and the ingredients are fresh. My favorite way to fry burgers is in a cast iron skillet. It makes for a wonderful crust on the meat. I know earlier I said I wasn't very hungry today but my appetite kicked in around 4:30. However, no sugar cravings for some reason. Maybe it'll take a day or two more for my body to start wondering where all the sugar went!
On another positive note, I got all my water in today.
