Well today was rough... I took a laxative last night not because I was dabbling in anything bulimic, but because I genuinely hadn’t had a bowel movement and was afraid this was going to start hindering the scale. Well I woke up and was 191....which while not the worst - I followed the diet yesterday and was expecting to see 190 right off. Not to worry because I would pass a BM and be fine surely. No. I had my energy drink and then continued to kind of limit liquids the rest of the morning. By noon I’d had a large BM and for whatever reason was still at 191. I finally teetered on 190.8 which I hit one time and called it a day. It had been buried around some 191’s so it didn’t feel “real”.
In any case I had less today than the rest of week. I came in at 855.
Lunch:
Lean beef patty: 170
Cheese: 40
Lettuce: 2
Tomato: 8
Light mayo : 35
Wrap: 50
Broccoli: 60
Dressing: 53
Sauce:50
Dinner:
Broccoli: 60
Lean turkey: 150
Goat cheese: 50
Apple: 117
THE good news is I worked out and I hit 10k steps for the first time in a long time. And my deficit is over double what I ate. So I currently have my Fitbit targeting a deficit of 1000 calories a day.... so it “allows” me to eat up to that. So basically Ill have 2K deficit by the end of the day.
In reading later I think the reason I was struggling on the scale is laxatives make you retain water .... so I think that’s why my energy drink essentially cancelled out the bowel movement and nothing else was moving. My stomach was particularly bloated so it makes sense. I just hope I’m 189 tomorrow. I so need to leave these 90’s .... I never thought I’d even see them.
