I feel my resolve is further strengthened. I did not crave foods and go on a rampage in my kitchen. This is good as I am back at work today along with the mall full of food.
Here is my food list from yesterday: yogurt, grapefruit, salmon and chicken (a half portion of each), little quiche, soy nuts, chicken, cauliflower, low fat cheese, half a large apple. This totaled around 1200 calories. I was down maybe half a pound if any. It was hard to tell because I do not have a digital scale. I have to admit I was disappointed that it was not more but really, I can't complain. I have to stay focused. The lack of constant hunger is a plus.
I should explain about the little quiches. I made them myself and they do not have crusts. I spray giant muffin cups with butter flavoured cooking spray, and then coat them with bread crumbs and place them in a giant muffin tin. The quiche has eggs and evaporated skim milk and a combo of cheeses and vegetables. If you want a more firm recipe, let me know. I haven't worked out exactly how many calories is in each but I used 5 eggs and a whole can of evaporated milk and about a cup of shredded cheese. There are 1 and a half tablespoons of flour in there somewhere too. This made 7 quiches.
I am having some weird side effect which may be from this diet. I have not been sleeping well. I feel like my heart is pounding. I gave up Diet Coke a month ago and the only other caffeine I get is in tea which I brew lightly and stop drinking at noon so I don't know what it is. I am hoping that it is my body working so hard to burn fat that it is just not stopping when it is time for me to sleep...but I doubt it, I am probably just thinking too much.
I did not do formal exercise yesterday as I was cleaning house and if you could see my house you would know that this was a long and time consuming activity.
