184.0 this morning. I can feel where that 0.2 pounds that I gained are - need to eliminate badly...hoping that happens sometime really soon!

Yesterday:
B: hot chocolate
L: 5 bites sushi
S: smoothie
D: 2 bites meatballs, 3 bites sushi

I think when my chocolate supply is all gone, I'm going to have to quit with the dairy; it stuffs my sinuses all up and it is not feeling great right now.

I know a good way to help you flush.. 1 tsp Epsom salts in 1 glass of apple juice. Its a bit sour but within a hour to two you will get it all out. It works a charm for me... I wish you a wonderful day.. no worries on the mini gain.. you are doing fab!

katya Tue Nov 19, 2013 2:02 pm

Thanks for the info on Epsom salts - I will have to try that!

Holding steady at 184 this morning.

Yesterday:
B: hot chocolate
L: 2 bites pizza, 3 bites burrito (I just couldn't decide which to have!)
S: smoothie
D: 4 bites meatballs, 1 bite guacamole

I had a cup of ginger tea with some fiber supplement last night. The fiber supplement sets off my IBS, but it did move things a bit this morning. Feeling less impacted! Smile

I think we all have this problem from time to time since we eat in small quantities. You're doing great!!! bounce

ElleBella Tue Nov 19, 2013 11:56 pm

I also remember another good help.. When I was on a low carb diet.. eeek.. lol. Any ways.. when I was on the nuts and seeds rung I noticed that eating almonds.. just few caused an overnight help.. It surprised me as on this diet I was always backed up. Great that all is getting better.

I think I am having PMS cravings today. According to my calendar, I should have started my period a couple days ago, but I am so unpredictable these days, that I never know if I am getting ready to start, just skipping it this month, or having some sort of bizarre hormonal fluctuation! Smile

I kept wanting to binge, but my stomach is so used to tiny portions already, that it was physically painful. My "binge" ended up being 5 small meatballs. I can live with that!

B: hot chocolate
L: 5 bites stuffing, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, gravy (my students made a thanksgiving meal today)
S: (this was my binge) 5 meatballs
D: 5 bites meatballs and crackers

Oh that is not so bad.. good that you did not go on with it.. great job

claire1 Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:44 am

You did very good, Katya. At least you have a good reason: PMS. For me it's like I'm having PMS almost every day. lol!

Snow White Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:50 pm

Love the self-control!!!

You are doing great!!!

I am wanting to get my Period back, but dreading the weight flucations with it! I just weaned from the breast pump, so hopefully I will get Aunt Flo soon!

katya Thu Nov 21, 2013 2:00 pm

Don't even ask about yesterday! Shocked

I am blaming it on hormonal fluctuations, although I realize I am the one who decided to not follow my plan. I ate waaaayyyy too much. Again, probably less than pre-5 bites, but I was not following my plan. Oh well, back on track this morning. I think I am going to replace my hot chocolate with 5 bites of something solid in the morning and see what that does. I'm really getting burned out on hot chocolate and don't like the way it makes me feel. I have a fairly severe reaction to caffeine, and I think I am getting too much with the chocolate - it makes me feel dizzy and light headed.

herbsgirl Thu Nov 21, 2013 5:16 pm

That's ok, Kayta, just push Restart. It happens to all of us, none of us are perfect! I am also sensitive to caffeine, but I like my chocolate bars!

ElleBella Thu Nov 21, 2013 6:36 pm

If you two have problems with caffeine in chocolate I have an idea for you. Purchase European choc. Laws govern it and it can not have caffeine in it.

Katya - love we are the same .. good and bad days.. I have found I lose hair fast when I am eating 5 bites.. but when eating small portions but a bit more calories has stopped that. bounce

Have a super back on plan day!! cheers

katya Fri Nov 22, 2013 2:09 pm

Thanks for the chocolate idea.

I had not thought about hairloss - I've heard of other people experiencing that. Not a look I really want. I've actually been thinking about trying the ramekin idea when I am at home.

I did not weigh today. As it turns out, I've been getting sick. Not feeling great today. I was not feeling well when I got home yesterday, so I just had broth for dinner, but, of course, the onions and garlic in the broth aggravated my IBS and I blew up like a puffer fish. I'm having intestinal issues this morning. Some day, I just can't win. Sorry, I don't mean to sound whiny (eventhough I am Wink

).

The plan for this morning is lots of peppermint tea. I'll see what I feel like when lunch time comes round.

herbsgirl Fri Nov 22, 2013 4:58 pm

I don't have hairloss when I take my 6 per day prenatal vitamins. I also take fish oil too

ElleBella Fri Nov 22, 2013 6:30 pm

I took a shower this morning and had a handful come out.. uuugh.. my system is so off.. lol

The ramekin are so great as you really do not have to think.. here is a link that shows a great weight loss blog.. its only a 6 day blog but it shows how well it works.

Hope you feel better.. seams like we are all getting sick.. my nose is pretty blocked today.. Yay.. lol.. just get up and dance.. lol bounce

ElleBella Mon Nov 25, 2013 5:40 pm

How are you doing today love.. are you trying out the ramekin portion control.. Question

Happy Monday!

Snow White Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:32 pm

I hope things are going well for you today!

herbsgirl Mon Nov 25, 2013 7:53 pm

Have a great day Kayta! My daughters name is Kayla! Shes 8 months old

katya Tue Nov 26, 2013 12:00 am

Oh, my, what a few days I've had! It started out with getting sick. So, I didn't eat much, because, well, I was sick. Then, when I felt better, of course I felt I could eat more, because I'd eaten almost nothing for a couple of days before that. Let's just leave it with...more has a way of turning into WAY more!

Today has been an awesome day so far. Didn't want to weigh after the past few days - I'll tackle that tomorrow morning.

B: peppermint tea
L: 5 bites tamale
S: smoothie - I added a small handful of almonds (that really improved the flavor/texture)
D: I plan to cook a spaghetti squash and have 5 bites of that.

82 days until vacation - time to be really serious about this!

ElleBella Tue Nov 26, 2013 4:22 am

Im glad you are feeling better.. yay.. vacation coming .. Yay

ElleBella Tue Nov 26, 2013 9:42 pm

How is your Tuesday turning out? Hope its a great one.. bounce

katya Wed Nov 27, 2013 1:40 am

Thanks for the suppor, ladies. Tuesday has been good!

B:tea
L:5 bites Tamale
S:smoothie
D:5 bites spaghetti squash & cheese

I was cold and wanted to snack today, so I had a lot of peppermint tea and a couple cups of broth. I'm proud of myself for not downing a couple of extra tamales.

ElleBella Wed Nov 27, 2013 3:09 am

You did fab!!!

blaqpepa Wed Nov 27, 2013 5:26 pm

Hi Katya, glad to see you're still doing so great with your plan. And well done for not eating extra tamales.
