Good morning. Yesterday was a carb down day and it went o.k. It's interesting to me that when I initially went on the diet, I felt so full that I could barely squeeze in all of the required meals. Now, for the first time, I feel hungry and have no problem eating 6 meals a day. I'm hoping that's because I'm eating smaller portions but I suspect it has a lot more to do with the motivation factor. The diet is no longer shiny and new and actually requires willpower. (Yes, this is the point where I would usually give up and put all of the weight back on that I lost plus a couple of pounds more). Hopefully when I weigh in on Sunday, the weight loss will give me the motivation I need. DH and I are also planning a trip to Phoenix in January and I should be able to lose a minimum of 10-15 lbs before we go. As I get closer, I'm going to have to formulate an eating plan that will allow me to have a good time but at the same time not completely blow the diet. Our hotel has a kitchen so that should help somewhat but eating out is ineveitable.
Yesterday was the first time that I didn't work out with weights since I started going back to the gym. This week weight training is three days only and today's cardio is 45-60 minutes of slow exercise. I usually do an hour of cardio when I work out so yesterday, I did an hour and fifteen minutes to do my take on the program.
I have back to back carb down days but that should work out well because that will mean that I will have a carb up day on Saturday.
