And it continues...

I have received the reminder pokes and so it's time for me to write a new blog entry!

I don't however, have much to report other than a very cheatful, but fun and good, weekend in Oregon. Seriously, I didn't have single on diet meal all weekend. It's ok though, no disasters occurred!

I weighed myself last night (I have yet to measure as of writing this, and I think I will refrain until Sunday) and while the numbers show no loss, they're also right around normal for an evening post-dinner weigh in, and where that used to say 189-190, it now says 183. Miserable progress for the 3 weeks I've been doing this, but still progress, and I'm not discouraged. I actually kind of like eating this way.

One thing I did discover this weekend from eating all the rice and bread, was that I fill up faster on it. My stomach was generally confused by all the starch and carbohydrates, so it shut down sooner. I don't know if I'd say that meant I ate much less, but eating the normal amount of food I would made me very full. I figured that was okay, because the purpose of cheat days is to remind the metabolism to run high. We'll see what has happened after being back on the diet yesterday and today. I found I am a bit hungrier... but my stomach will readjust soon.

I did a good thing this weekend, and kept track of everything I ate. Here's the list!
