Hi all! Congrats to everybody for doing so well this week. You are all an inspiration to me-- I mean it!
I didn't lose this week, but it was worth it for the valuable lesson I learned. I experimented this week with a "modified" MF prgram in which I was eating 5 times a day (an MF packet plus some added calories, such as FF yogurt, at some meals) and having a "normal" dinner (i.e., lean, green, but with carbs-- and in bigger quantities!). I wanted to see if I could lose or maintain my post-Vegas weight without having to go back to MF full time. Well, as I am now 130.6 (a full 5 pounds heavier than last week!), I think I discovered the answer to my own question!
It's frustrating to think that eating 1500 calories a day makes me gain weight, despite exercising, but I never really gave my body a chance to ease back into food after blasting it with many sinful dishes in Vegas a couple weeks ago with no warning. Sooo... I need to get back on the MF train 100%, get to 125, then gradually transition-- the right way!!-- so that my body can figure out what the heck is going on. Tomorrow is Day One. Again!
I'm just glad that, despite the mistakes and the gain, I caught it before it got out of control, and I'm glad that I have MF, and you guys, to get me straight! Here's to a great week for everyone-- happy slurping! 125 or bust!
