This week has been an interesting one. I've started recording what I eat, and when i'm eating as I should be i'm consuming about 1200-1300 calories per day. Which is good, I think. Yesterday was a little different though. I made some protien cookies (with oats, protein, milk eggs and equal, so there really isnt too many calories in them) and I ate three of those. I was also feeling really quite ill last night and had a massive bowl of fruit salad for dinner, which i'm sure would have tipped my calorie count way over. I was feeling so average and I really was just craving fruit, i'd taught three classes that day and I have my RPM training this weekend so I thought i'd listen to my body and give it what it wanated.
I've decided that after my training this weekend i'm going to stagger my carb days. So i'll have one day of eating carbs at breakfast and lunch and then one day of no carbs at all, then one day of carbs, then one day of no carbs and so on. Because I'm so active I dont think cutting carbohydrates from my diet entirely is a great idea, but I do know that my body responds really well from eating low to no carbs. I'm going to give the alternate days thing a go and see how it ends up.
I jumped on the scales yesterday (I know, I know I said I wouldnt till week four but I couldnt help myself) and as it turns out I havent lost any weight. I feel like i'm starting to though, so i'm not going to dispair. I'm going to keep plodding along and weigh my and measure myself again in three weeks. My diet is pretty much going to fly out the window this weekend though. I'm going to need to eat heaps of complex carbs if i'm going to get through the weekend properly. I'm sure i'll burn it all off though!!!
Apart from not feeling my best i'm still feeling positive. I know this is going to be a long hard road and i'm willing to stick it out for the long haul.
