202.4. That is a loss of 0.8! I am not going to consider any loss or gain less than 1 pound a real loss or gain. So let's call this morning's weighing, hold, no loss, no gain.
I have three reasons why I didn't lose today, actually maybe 4!
1- True to the pattern I lose! Usually when dieting I lose good amount of weight the first couple of days and then the losses stops.
2- I made Rice Pilaf yesterday. It is very delicious, and is portion control, even though I ended up eating all 3 portions, lol, but it is full of salt, 1 serving has 780mg which is about 33% of daily value for a person consuming 2000 calories. So too much salt for me and it could be that I am retaining water!
3- I didn't drink enough water yesterday! Maybe it is true that if we don't drink the required 8 glasses of water we don't lose weight. I went for a quick walk yesterday afternoon. I wanted to go the route that I knew was about 2 miles; it is an 8 shape route. I went the first loop which is little over 1 mile and when I got near home I wanted to come in. I just couldn't see it in me to go the other loop. It was cold and very windy. When I came in, I was very cold, so I took a shower, made hot tea. But I was still cold and had a headache. So I warmed up the leftover rice from lunch, went under the cover on the couch, eat and listened to the music. I fall asleep right there, probably around 7 and as a result I only drink 6 glasses of water. I am going to try to start drinking water earlier in the day, to make sure I get the 8 glasses down.
4- I lost over 3 pounds in the past 2 days, so maybe my body is adjusting.
In any case, I try to have a better day today.
Yesterday's (Day 3) report:
8 am: Atkins bar and coffee
9 am: handful (maybe 1 oz almonds)
11 am: 1 1/2 serving rice pilaf
3 pm: Atkins shake
6 pm: 1 1/2 serving rice pilaf and green tea
Consumed calories: about 1074 (1 bar 180 + 1 oz almonds 163 + 1 shakes 160 + 3 serving rice pliaf * 190) OK.
Water: 6 8 oz, not good.
Exercise: little over 1 mile, try for more today.
