I am unhappy. I ate delicious food today, and I'm not unhappy about that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that my weight jumped up by 4.4 lbs in just one day. According to the calories in, calories out (CICO) theory, I would have had to consume somewhere in the vicinity of 15,400 calories over my metabolic rate of caloric consumption to gain 4.4 lbs. That's simply not possible. I'm guessing this is water weight, although my feet are as svelte as ever. The water retention must be elsewhere in my body.
Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 354.2 lbs ⇧
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs
I feel warmer now that I have been eating. That's a bit of a plus. Fasting makes me feel really cold, and I know that I am not alone in that. I see this in the forums all the time. But almost as soon as I ate, I felt warmer.
I really enjoyed the corned beef, and even though it started out over 2 lbs uncooked, by the time it was all cooked down in the pressure cooker, it was only about 1 lb. It was just over 1 lb. It was really close, though. So I was able to cut that up into four pieces of about 4.5 ounces each and then eat those twice a day during my meals.
I also added butter to the broth, and I drank that. I drank a quarter of it during each meal. My breakfast also included a whole can of olives -- 44 large black olives in total. So I had two days of that. And I added some cheese slices, too. Then I also threw in a handful of those chorizo egg muffin things. Those were so good, but I was basically adding those in to bring up my calories so I wasn't limiting myself too much. I didn't want to put myself on a calorie reduction diet.
This was a fairly normal number of calories, but I really felt like a pig eating all of this. It was not easy. And what made it worse was the fact that my husband had already eaten his calorie and carb budget for the day by the time I was ready to eat something, and he was making me feel a bit bad about that. LOL.
