R1 Day 24

This protocol is exasperating! I had all but given up and had decided to just finish out my time to try to make what I've done stick and this morning I had totally expected to gain or stay the same and I lost. I lost 1 lb this morning! Not that I'm complaining, it's just hard to try to pinpoint what is not working in my diet. Am I not taking in enough calories? Am I taking in more fat than I realize? What is the deal? If I eat the same things it doesn't matter. If I eat different things it doesn't matter. ARGH! I guess I'll keep going with this and just take it as it comes. I am going to try one thing though, I am going to try to get more sleep. I have been overly tired lately and needing a nap about 2 hrs after the kids leave for school.

Later...

So today was uneventful. No real stressors to speak of. I had an apple this morning and chicken with cabbage for lunch. For dinner I had beef with tomatoes and an apple. I was going to try the "fake apple pie" thing where you just bake an apple and put cinnamon on it but the apple I chose was just too crisp of an apple to bake and make soggy so I ate it raw. I noticed that I could tell I was full sooner but my mind won out and not wasting food prevailed. I finished my apple. That was about 8 this evening and I've not been hungry at all since. I think I am going to try to get my sleep in so that I can feel rested in the morning and hopefully it will help on the weight loss. Now if I could just get my body to look like I've lost weight, that would be great. I know I've said this before but losing pounds but not changing clothing sizes sucks! I still fit into clothes the same, or so it feels. I haven't noticed any change in what I wear and no-one, not even people I haven't seen in awhile have said anything to me. Here's hoping for a brighter tomorrow.
