B2B W1: 225/250, ****_
Yesterday I was ravenous. For the whole day. I started off with Cheerios and soy milk. I had a cheese stick, then an apple, about an hour apart. By then it was 11. I was still hungry. I didn't get to lunch until 12:30 and I felt I could eat a cow. Luckily, a ham sandwich on wheat roll and baby carrots held my hunger at bay. I had another cheese stick mid afternoon. Then the hunger came back with a vengence.
I ended up eating buffalo wings, onion rings and popcorn shrimp for dinner. I just really wanted "real" food. I didn't want anything healthy as I had been eating that all day and I was hungry all day. Finally, I felt full.
Why is that?
It's 10 am as I write this and I'm feeling normal eating an apple for a mid morning snack. None of that eat everything in sight feeling I had yesterday. I wasn't bored or angry, hurt or tired. I wasn't sad. I felt good. It was real hunger and I couldn't seem to satiate it.
Oh, just to be clear. I ate my points (ate some flex), drank the water, ate the fruits and veggies, took the multivitamin. I also ate white flour which made it an off plan day. It's the stuff that encased the onions and the shrimp. I thought about letting it slide, but I wouldn't be completely honest then.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Those are great questions to ponder. Mostly, for me, I just want to look in the mirror and truly LIKE what I see. Is the B2B plan your own or one that's out 'there' somewhere? I like it! Maybe you were extra hungry because of added workouts and not enough protein? If I'm lacking protein I get hungry, craving, and the shakes.
ReplyDeleteI made it up. This 13 week challenge is just for me to get in the habit of exercising and staying on plan. I have an overall goal of 15,000 exercise minutes for the year. I wanted my challenge to be measurable and under my control. Having a weight goal has gotten me in trouble in the past.

I ate the cheese stick to boost my protein thinking that was it. I may need more than that. I'll be experimenting this year, so we'll see.
