Before the redo, I loved my breakfasts. I actually looked forward to my latte and whatever TFD brought, which was always good. It made my day - totally.
Now I get a crappy drink and a cup of tea. I don't much care for tea, and probably won't drink it after the diet. But it is something different, so I drink it.
Oh well. This is the seventh week of the redo. The unfortunate part is that I am not losing as much as I had the first time around, so my expectations have been high, but the results have been low. I mean really I should be losing at least three pounds a week, and I am not. In a normal diet you can expect to lose 2 pounds a week, so I am eating shit, and eating less then 1200 calories to lose the same amount of weight. Something just doesn't compute.
But the truth is I lost more weight on TFD then I did on the product (before I went on my six month plateau.)
So I wonder if my body just hasn't gone into some kind of starvation mode that I didn't go into last time. Granted I had more product last time, but still...
Yes I am feeling disheartened. This is very hard and it is suppose to be "rapid" but I haven't lost any weight this week, and it is half over. Blah!!!

I think your body HAS gone in to a "starvation preservation mode" - you're swimming 4 times a week (uses a LOT of energy) plus doing some other workouts - lots out work & starvation diet - a recipe for "shut down".
ReplyDeleteTry an EXTRA bar and an EXTRA product on each day you swim & see what happens - I think you'll be pleased.
Maybe you should switch to the "cinnamon tea" for a change of pace? I know you can't have a latte (for now), but is there anything else?
TSH is trying to be supportive, so please try some extra product/bars & see what happens. If I can start the eliptical again, maybe you can get out of starvation mode.
Taya & Tolar agree!
You are doing great. This go-round, too. I'm so impressed. And it will be over before you know it. (Well, that last statement might be a slight exaggeration, since you are counting the seconds.)
