*sigh*
I'm happy with this week, yes. But I feel like I am losing and re-gaining the same 3-4 pounds over and over again. This must be what maintenance feels like.
Anywho, I'm below the line again. As long as I stay there, I'll meet goal by April 9, 2013. Observe:
I finally downloaded the update for MyNetDiary on my iPhone, and am enjoying the new features. For instance, I now have access to a "weekly analysis" of my diet.
This week's analysis shows that, for the six days I tracked (I skipped Saturday, I'll get to that in a minute) I consumed an average of 1771 calories and burned 94 calories each day.
According to the app, I should have lost just under one pound, or 14.25 ounces for the week. Instead,, I lost 4.5 pounds. Now, either my BMR is much higher than MyNetDiary tells me, I'm not really "sedentary," or I'm just burning a whole lot more calories while nursing than I would be otherwise. In any event, I'm going to stick with my 1800/day plan until I reach the point that, though sticking to 1800 EVERY SINGLE DAY, I lose less than two pounds per week. I rarely manage to meet the 1800 goal every day of the week, so I'm not really sure how much I'd lose if I consistently stayed at that number. I hope to find out in the coming weeks.
As for Saturday--Saturday I was tired of dieting. Actually, I was just tired. I had a terrible night of sleep before and a little bit of drama. I was exhausted and could have given zero craps about ever losing weight. That said, I managed to eat a decent breakfast (pumpkin quinoa with soy milk) and a decent lunch (salad bar salad, healthy except for the ranch dressing). For dinner, I went to a birthday party and ate one piece of cheese pizza, a few tortilla chips with cheesey sauce, and a cupcake with ice cream. After I got home, however, I snacked on spicy noodles, chocolate, and popcorn. Less than ideal, I know, but it was only one day. I managed to get back down to business first thing on Sunday morning.
For now, I'll just keep on tracking. I'll try to increase my protein, as I've only averaged about 57/day. I'll try to keep my saturated fat down (I've averaged 19g a day), and I'll try to get my iron and calcium up (using supplements I have to) as I've been significantly low in both.
I went clothes shopping yesterday. It was horribly depressing. I struggled to shake out of a fat-related funk for the rest of the day.
I don't want to teach my daughter this lesson, that how you look should control your days. I can't let it control me. I just need to get a point where I feel good in my own skin. I'm getting closer.
One day at a time. One pound at at time.
