Day 16: My lowest daily carb total to date. 10.2 carbs on the day. My second lowest calorie total to date. 963 calories. My day was so busy that I rarely thought about food and I don't recall feeling hungry except for just before lunch for a few minutes. I do know that I feel a little sluggish today, but I attribute it more to getting just under 6-hours of sleep, and less to not getting the food intake my body demands, though I'm sure that is a part of it. I know I should eat a little more. 6'7" bodies probably need it. But I'm done eating for today with high hopes for tomorrow.
I got a new fancy scale today with thousands of great reviews online. I tested it with my 5'7" 125 lb. wife of 23-years. (She eats and eats and eats. She's gained 7 pounds since our wedding day in 1995 and three kids. Sigh.) The scale is dialed in. So I stepped on it tonight and got 317.1 lbs. I'm down 17.9 lbs. in 16 days. It's quite the motivation. I also wore a shirt today that did not fit three weeks ago. Similar to the jeans I fit in to the other day that are now wearable. I'm glad I have a few items still tucked in the back of my closet as the khakis I wear are starting to look big on me.
Recent cravings:
Raisin Bran Crunch. Two cups was my late-night habit 3-4 times a week. 90g carbs. 190 calories.
Cook Out - Cook Out Style Hamburger. 34g carbs. 448 calories. My crack.
Chick-Fil-A Waffle Fries (Large) - 56g carbs. 460 calories. I could dip them in barbecue sauce All. Day. Long.
Thankful for a number of delicious alternatives. Some things I am going to try soon:
Avocado Chips/Crisps
Buffalo Chicken Celery Sticks
Cheesy Jalapeno Mushroom Bites
Kale Chips
Pizza Zucchinis
Stuffed Mushrooms
I've enjoyed reading so many of your journals. Thanks for the inspiration, the stories of let downs, the encouragement, the recommendations, and the great examples. It's been fun getting a peak into the world of others on a similar journey.
