87.7kg
Today
is Day 7 of the changes. Overall I have lost 1.6kg / 3.5lb. The biggest
challenge is the hunger. While the volume of the food is nice, the body is use
to portions heavy in calorie dense foods. The body misses the calories of the
fried chicken & taters smothered in salty gravy and the heavy pasta meals,
though my stomach is not missing them. I have had less indigestion this past
week than in the two days prior to starting this.
I
am finding the whole process is hard. Just grabbing a few things to toss
together really does not work. You have to plan, consider, and think over
choices - if I eat this much pasta, to balance the day I need to cut back on
something somewhere else. The end goal will make the effort worth it in the end
when this becomes an habit, but the transition period for the next couple
months is proving challenging.
I
have next week off from work on vacation; though it is more of a stay-cation. I
am planning on:
· major
re-organization of home - especially the kitchen
· adjusting my
wake/sleep cycle
· start meal
planning - just supper meals (lunches will be leftovers)
Saturday
and Sunday I will allow myself more sleep time than I will be allowing in the
future, but I have only had 36 hours & 51 minutes in the last 7 nights
(average of 5 hours & 15 minutes per night). My sleep has ranged from 3
hours 41 minutes to 7 hours 8 minutes (weekend). Ultimately I want to get to
work in the mornings early enough so I can take a full hour for lunch, so I can
have 20-25 minutes for a walk.
Tomorrow
is a full weigh in day with weight, body fat, body water, bone density, and BMI
calculations.
