Day 14- One More Pound Down!

I love starting off the day seeing a new low weight on the scale! It's been a while since I have seen the lovely number I saw this morning. The first time I see a number on the scale, I don't really believe it is "real" weight lost (more of a slight fluctuation probably), but I take it as a great sign that things are going in the right direction.

When people start the Core/Simply Filling program, some report a weight gain the first week. Obviously this is not what anyone wants when they are trying to work a weight loss program, but sometimes it takes a bit for your body to adjust to eating a different way, and sometimes it is hard to change the habit of overeating (eating past the point of being full). I didn't experience this, and actually have lost both the 1st and 2nd week on the plan.

I have done decently well stopping myself from eating when I am no longer hungry, but I am going to really focus on that this next week as well. I can probably cut back in a bunch of areas where I am just eating because the food is in front of me. It might mean the difference of an extra pound!

Also, I don't record the water that I drink, but I thought I would just mention that water is pretty much the only thing I drink. Maybe sometimes diet fruit drinks, but no pop/soda, and very rarely a coffee with a bit of skim milk. So even though I am not saying it, I am drinking a TON of water :) That definitely helps keep me full and hydrated which helps with so many bodily functions.

Breakfast:
  • Bob's 8 Grain hot cereal with bananas- This time I microwaved the sliced bananas for the full 4 minutes mixed in with the cereal. Even the Hungry Hubs liked it- and he has nixed this particular cereal in the past b/c I don't put any sugar on it and I think it "tasted too healthy" for him :)

Snack:

  • Some samples during the weekly shopping trip at Costco (I am ballparking 5 WPA)

Lunch:

  • Grapes
  • 2 Bites Chinese food (2 WPA-ish)
  • Medium coffee with a bit of skim milk

Dinner:
  • Guacamole with 3 Blanca's corn tortillas (3 WPA)

Snack:
  • Grapes

Daily WPA used: 10

Weekly WPA used: 46 (over by 11 I know... but it is a LOT better than last week)
