LC Day 3

It's Day 3 of eating low-carb.

 

I am NOT hating it.

 

Before, when I was just eating low calorie, I had a hard time staying in my range.  Now that I am watching carbs, I am not eating near the calories that I planned to.  I have my MFP "goal" set to 1790/day but I have been averaging about 1200.  I feel like 1200 is kind of low, but since I'm not feeling hungry or sluggish, I'm not going to worry about it.

 

I have had mucho assignments this week and a test tomorrow (eeek.), so I really haven't had time to work out.  I will be starting T25 hardcore next week.  My sista, Sydney, also in college but with 2 small children, texted me last night that we should totes do it together.  So we are! BAM!

 

I haven't struggled with feeling hungry or deprived AT ALL.  I think knowing I can still have a burger (sans bun) is a big part of that.

 

I have had a couple of sweet cravings- like just now I got something out of my desk drawer and noticed the bag of Valentine's Day candy one of my co-workers gave me.  I thought a piece of chocolate sounded SO good, so I totally got on MFP and checked it out...not worth it.  Using flavor add-ins in my water, like Mio and the Great Value Crystal Light knock off  has helped me manage this.  (side note: the Great Value Peach Mango Energy is carb-free pretty tasty.  BUT the Strawberry Watermelon is OH MY STINKIN' HECK good, so naturally it has 1 carb.)

If you are reading this, I want to thank you.  I get a lot of support and motivation from so many people- it surprises the heck out of me in the best way!  Thank you so much for all of your sweet texts, comments, and camaraderie.
