Weigh in day is Wednesday, for some odd reason, so although I've been doing this for fourteen days I've had three weigh ins - on the 28th, the 3rd and the 10th. The first loss (in only three days) was 800g, the second was a slightly more impressive 1.6k. But I'm still feeling flat and blah, and I've already had three days to recover from my PM/ND run of eight shifts.
I have been out for dinner a couple of times - something of a blow out on Friday, when I went to the delicious Amici's in Acland St, St Kilda and had a couple of strawberry margaritas and beef Colorado (essentially stew with mashed potato), but it was pretty much the only thing I ate and although I could only estimate the calorie count I think I still came well under the Calorie King allowance, and not far over the Michelle allowance for the day.
Last night I visited my oldest friend, who made tuna and vegie patties for dinner that were delicious, tray baked and contained ten vegetables along with drained tuna. The sticky date pudding after was a little less good, not nullified by low-fat ice cream, but I ate little else that day, so I think it wasn't a well balanced day but not too calorific.
Some days I'm having trouble even hitting 1,200, which is a bit of a worry because below that and your body slides into energy conservation mode. But if anything I'm feeling more flat than last week, and a little overwhelmed with a number of things I have to juggle on the work/study/domestic fronts. I've had a day where I barely got out of bed, which left me feeling less energised than before, and I'm still doing quite crappily on the exercise front - certainly nothing like the 12wbt program. I suspect I won't gain next weigh in, but I'll be surprised if I lose anything much either. - Alex
