This past Saturday I had a busy day! I had to be at the office at 10am and then I held an Open House from 11-2 and then meet other clients at the office at 3pm and we went out to view homes and I didn't get hom until about 7:30pm. Well on my way to the office at 9:30 I had grabbed 2 of those little egg and cheese wake up wraps from Dunkin Donuts which was 14g of protein, and I was not hungry all day long, I forced myself to eat when I got home.
So I decided to reevaluate. I have been eating anywhere from 5-6ounces of food 3x a day but when I saw how little I was hungry I thought I should try to eat less and see how hungry I get. Well all day yesterday I had 3.5ounces of food per meal and it was perfect! I didn't feel like I was deprived of anything and I wasn't hungry all day. I am going to try and keep doing this.
I have been having a really hard time getting enough water. Not like a physically hard time, just a hard time focusing enough to drink it all. So starting tomorrow I am going to try what my friend Liz suggested to me......I have a water bottle that holds 20ounces and everyday I am going to put 4 rubber bands around it and everytime I finish the bottle I will take a rubber band off. The remaining bands will signify how many bottles I have left to drink. Such a great idea, espeially for me because I am such a visual person.
So back to eating less....I learned a lesson, I'm not as hungry as I thought I was! My first fill is next Tuesday, one week and I really wanted to loose 15lbs before then so I'm gonna be working hard this week to get another 1lb off!!! Hope you are all doing well!

Hey, I like the new blog page. Very colourful :) I like that idea about the bands on the water bottle too. Nifty thinking. And yeah.. our eyes are often bigger than our belly (or what it can hold) so well done on the cutting down of food. Let us know how that goes?

i think i will borrow your friend's water idea. some days i do well others not - maybe it will help me be more consistent.
