I'm TIRED!!!! I had to finish some homework last night and I am wiped out. I need to get to bed earlier. They say that getting 6-8 hours of sleep helps with weight loss. That will be easier when I'm done with school. I mean completely finished. 3 more semesters!! Oh well, today I am super hungry and I want to eat some candy or something out of the vending machine ON TOP of the food that I brought to work today.
I made it through the day. I have been following the weight watcher plan but also along with that I have been writing down all the calories, fat, and fiber because I'm curious as to how many calories I am really taking in. Some of the foods that I pack for lunch don't have the nutritional information because they come in the little cups, like applesauce and fruit, and when my wife puts them in the fridge she unpacks them and throws out the packaging. So I found this AWESOME website that will give you the nutritional information for almost everything. It's called NutritionData.com, but then the other things that the website doesn't have I found on the internet at the manufactures websites. The information is out there.
Anyways, back to my point, it turns out 25 points is around 1600 calories. No wonder I feel like I am starving! I went from eating around 2500+ calories to 1600 calories. They say it takes around a week to a week and a half to let your stomach shrink in size. I'm hoping it does it by Friday. My work Christmas party is Friday PLUS they are buying us lunch on Friday for our department meeting, which they do every first Friday of the month. It's cool, but now I just have to be careful what I eat.
Today was the first day that I did my weight lifting routine. It worked out well. I did one exercise for each upper body group and topped it off with a couple ab exercises. When I got home today I was a little tired, but felt good. Besides the fact that I wanted to eat everything in site, I stayed strong and stayed within my points/calories. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
