My weekend started good but I messed up big time. But since starting the lemonade diet I realize I can't consume half as much as I use to. On Saturday my food intake consisted of fried snapper. Loved it but that was the only food I could eat, afterwards I as stuffed. I had no breakfast, fried snapper for lunch and nothing for dinner. No salad, or coleslaw to go with my fish, I couldn't, I was too stuffed. And then it dawned on me, eat some chocolate....so I did. The chocolate didn't fill me but it made me happy...:-)
I had already eaten chocolate that Friday and then turned around and had it on Saturday & Sunday. Definitely a disaster. I'm now telling myself if I can't eat food eat chocolate. I don't need that type of mind set especially when I start back eating 2-3 meals a day, so I now have to condition myself to think differently. I don't want to get into the rut of eating junk food again...
That was the down side, the good side is I weighed in at 164.4, that's about a 2.4 weight gain.
Because the lemonade messed up my stomach with indigestion last week, I decided to see if I can tweak my diet this week. I made 20oz of lemonade using less lemons and maple syrup and I'm going to to try eating watermelon along with the lemonade. I understand watermelon is suppose to be a good diuretic plus it's low in calories while be high in water content, something I seriously need.
I'm not sure how this is going to work, and it might mess up my weight loss, but I need to try something different. I'm loving the way my clothes are beginning to sag on me, it's a wonderful feeling and my knees don't hurt as much. I definitely want to stick with this for a while longer if I can.
I ate around 3 - 4 cups of watermelon along with the 20oz lemonade, I'll keep my fingers crossed hoping I have a weight loss and not a gain tomorrow.
