Week 2 - Last weekend was Mardi Gras and I did not watch what I ate as well as I have been. Plus I did drink beer. I did choose the MGD 64 lite beer, which for the record is not very tasty, and I don't think it has any alcohol in it. At least I felt like I was drinking beer and it wasn't as bad for me as my normal choice of beer. I didn't eat a lot of sweets, but I did have a piece or two of king cake and I remember eating McDonalds at least once.
Weighed in yesterday morning - I am down another 2.5 lbs. So although I was afraid I would have a setback I must have exercised enough to keep the results from being negative.
So far after 2 weeks (-5lbs)
On another note, since I am giving up bread and sugar for Lent and limiting my meat intake to high protein, low fat meats, I am hoping to possibly lose more than 2.5 lbs the next 4 weeks. We will see how that works out. I am finding it hard to choose what to eat and also trying to fight off guilt for eating period. It is weird how that works. I ate oatmeal yesterday and felt guilty about it although it didn't have any butter or sugar (which is the reason oatmeal is normally delicious).
I was trying out my friend Kate's suggestion with toast with peanut butter for breakfast but since toast is bread and peanut butter is full of sugar, that is now off the list. So I am open to suggestions about what I should eat.
