It may not been much of a loss, but considering I ate a paczki from Tim Horton's, plus half of an authentic one, and some of the cherry chocolate chip bread I baked, half a pound is a total win!
My aim last week was to up my calories a little bit, which I feel was skewed by the goodies I ate. So, trying that again this week in hopes of finding a sweet spot. I fear I am eating too little, at least according to the calculators I use, but I'm afraid of playing around too much. Instead, I'll see how well this week goes and what the average is for the week's calories.
I didn't get around to looking up meatless options, but I've been sticking with tuna, homemade bean soup, and Trader Joe's low sodium tomato soup, which is actually really good! I also need to look into more options for protein. I hate using protein powder - I'm much rather not deal with all the filler. But in the mean time, it serves it's purpose, which is to keep my protein up and my hangry levels down! It's kind of nice feeling a normal amount of hunger when I get home instead of the past "omg, feed me now or DIE!"
Nothing exciting otherwise. Still being lazy but justifying it as finding my calorie spot first. Once the weather stops freaking out though, I'd like to walk at lunch again. It was nice to get out and get some sunshine - it really improved my mood! I'm sure my vitamin D levels are low again. That reminds me that I should go see my doctor for another blood lab, but I've gained a little since I saw her, so I'm ashamed. /sigh
This week: still pre-planning; keeping protein up around 90-115g per day; checking out more lunch options.
Funny that you should mention Vitamin D levels, Dawn. I thought of you when I saw on TV today a comment that a plateau during weight loss could be due to low D levels.
