LOL. I do think people get used to seeing you at a certain weight, so when you start losing, they're very quick to say you look too thin, even if you have plenty of pounds to go. I STILL have to keep telling my family that even at 10 pounds lower, I'd be well within a healthy weight range for my size and not even at the bottom of it. Let alone anorexic or too thin. Sigh.
Just checking in. I was at 128.0 today; I was hoping for a bit lower, but I'll take it. I'm hoping to hit 127.0 or so by the weekend; if I do, then the BodyBugg is the greatest thing ever. Ha. Today was a running day, so I get to have a good 200 calories more than the past couple of days. I'm not sure I can add quite that much, but it's fun to even come close.
For anyone curious about what my intake is like these days, this is pretty typical (only difference would be today I get 1/2 cup of pistachios with lunch, but on walking days I get six or 12 of those cocoa roast almonds, and today I can have a Weight Watchers ice cream bar for dessert, but usually on walking days I have a serving of nonfat Greek yogurt mixed with a tablespoon of ff, sf pudding mix).
Pre-workout: 2 FRS energy chews, South Beach 100-calorie whipped almond bar
Post-workout: Serving of nonfat Greek yogurt mixed with sf, ff pudding powder (cheesecake flavor; this is SO good) and topped with 3/4 cup blueberries
Morning snack: Zone or Nutrisystem bar (sometimes a pack of Tri-O-Plex Light Bite cookies)
Lunch: Huge salad with romaine, red bell peppers, red onion, artichoke hearts or hearts of palm, five kalamata olives, 3 ounces of chicken breast, 1 ounce fat-free feta cheese and a couple of tablespoons of Galeos Miso Caesar dressing (my latest addiction), followed by either the almonds or the pistachios mentioned above
Afternoon snack: One FRS energy chew and an Ostrim meat stick (or sometimes a hardboiled egg and an egg white)
Dinner: 5 ounces or so of chicken breast or pork tenderloin and a couple of cups of steamed broccoli (or asparagus or green beans); occasionally it's a Healthy Choice-type meal with added broccoli, or a Fit N Free pizza with slice tomatoes on top and broccoli on the side
Dessert: WW ice cream or yogurt-pudding mixture or sometimes a Nutrisystem dessert or even a brownie made with a serving of brownie mix, some Any Whey powder and a little Greek yogurt
If I don't work out at all, I have about 1200 calories. If I walk, it's more like 1300 or 1400. If I run, it's 1500 or sometimes even 1600.
