191.8 - 66.8 pounds to go!

So this week's weigh-in I cheated. It's the first time I've ever done it, and I sort of feel bad, but I don't at the same time. We always weigh-in on Sunday. Whatever that number is, we record it. Well, this last week, I rocked all week. I clearly got the excess sodium/water out of my system and I was careful to not go over by much and see the scale creep back up. Then we met up some people on Saturday at Buffalo Wild Wings. That always blows things out of the water. If there is anything healthy on their menu, I would love to know what it is. I opted for a basket of buffalo chips, which I thought were supposed to be unsalted, but came salted (ugh!) and some wings. I had planned on only eating three wings at most since they are packed with sodium and focusing on the unsalted potato slices. That didn't go so well. So, can you guess what happened on weigh-in morning? Yup, scale was up. Granted it was only .6 pounds of water weight, but it would have meant another week with no loss. So, instead, my weigh-in was my Saturday morning weight. There, I explained it. I feel better and there's no way you can make me change it! For the record, since I weigh myself unofficially every day just to check on water weight from sodium, etc, today the scale said 190.4! Maybe come Sunday I'll be in the 180'! Man that would rock.

This feeling of constantly being hungry is driving me insane! I've been eating two morning snacks and two afternoon snacks like the nutritionist suggested and I still can't shake it. Even now, I've had my toast with PB and almond milk, a banana and almonds (which I ate early!) and my stomach is hurting. I told the husband last night that if it goes on much longer, I'm going to break down and just have a day where I eat (healthy, not junk) and just go over my calories by as much as is necessary to feel full. At the moment, I am waiting for some people from a group I belong to on MyFitnessPal to run my numbers for me and check my BMR and TDEE against what I calculated. I'm fairly certain my daily calories are within 50 calories of the "sedentary" calorie level, but I am so hoping they suggest upping them a couple hundred or so. And this time, I'm recording the info here since MFP decided to delete my messages after a couple months without warning.
