Another Up Day Down :)

Up days are fun.

Had breakfast sandwich and iced coffee, toast with butter and the biggest plate of pasta with salmon, broccoli and alfredo sauce and champagne. Not sure that I actually had enough calories… I’ll try to estimate it… okay, so estimating high it was about 1900 calories. (forgot the champagne so add 200 more calories. Oh and the mini Milky Way, complete bliss!) I think I am good with that.

Thought about sharing some pf my statistics but thought better of it. I will share if I have lost weight each week on either Monday or Tuesday.

Down day tomorrow – stopped eating tonight around 7 so hope to make it to 7 before eating again or maybe I can make it a complete resting day. I am feeling a bit hormonal (paranoid, super sensitive, having a hard time getting over something hard that someone said to me…) and so I am worried that it will get the better of me if I don’t have a plan but I am wiped out right now and just can’t do the mental work to figure it out right now.

Complete fast sounds like the easiest road to go but we’ll see… yikes.

Fitbit said almost 8000 steps today and 16 flights of stairs *cleaning house for 6 hours)- says I burned over 2300 calories. Super tired going to bed.

Night, T.

UD after successful DD = fun and relaxing.

Feeling great! After a successful Rest Day I finally got to enjoy a lovely (reasonable) UD yesterday and felt inspired for the next DD! Finally feeling like this might be doable. I have dreams of completely healthy, whole foods, lots of protein ‘every day’ but for now I will take staying within the set calorie parameters and enjoying what I like and what’s available for today.

Having a good Rest Day gave me a free feeling and the ability to say yes to things that I have been feeling guilty for having for years. What I enjoyed I enjoyed in smaller portions because I didn’t want to waste my previous days work. (I see something great happening here!)

DD today and since I stopped eating last night around 6:30 that is when I will have a little something tonight and call it good. Enjoyed a little coffee and creamer after Church (it really took me a week to get started!!) and looking forward to a protein packed salad tonight.

My current motivation is this belly fat and daily asthma struggle. Cannot wait until I see some improvement in these two areas!

Continuing on in grace – I will keep you posted.
