So I start today with a little bit of a disappointment. The weigh in this morning is the same number as yesterday. Now I just started taking the supposedly miraculous Healthy Trim yesterday, but I also feel as though I was eating a lot less food yesterday too so I was expecting a better result this morning.
The meals yesterday were a little better like I said. I had a bigger and more substantial breakfast. Those were the last pop tarts for me, but I like the breakfast drink in that it gives me some morning protein. I will continue to try to increase my morning protein intake and make it the high calorie meal of the day.
Lunch wasn't bad either. The Grilled Chicken salad from Burger King was a remarkable discovery. I am betting without croutons and cheese that the total calories are south of 200 on that meal. I like and am accustomed to ending meals with a dessert so the sugar free Jell-O pudding was a nice topper. It's also clear that the sodas with 120 calories a pop are a problem. I will look into more methods of flavoring water to vary my beverage choices.
Dinner was a huge surprise in that I was starving by the time I ate, but I was more than satisfied with the amount of food I had and I was glad I divided up the pasta before eating. The four pieces of Italian bread were only 90 calories a slice, but I have a strong feeling based on this morning's weigh in that I may have to be more concerned about carbohydrates than I really want to be. I love bread and pasta so cutting that out won't make me happy.
On the positive side with the Healthy Trim, their claim of cutting down on cravings for "bad foods" isn't necessarily inaccurate. Whether from the pills or the fact that I am posting everything I am eating on-line I haven't felt a strong craving for sugar and I haven't felt any hang over effects from cutting out coffee and caffeinated sodas.
The biggest negative is still the lack of exercise. This whole experience is for nothing if I don't get my lazy behind in the habit of more with a purpose for at least 30 minutes a day.
I was asleep again before 10pm and I am beginning to wonder if the evening pills don't have some kind of sleep agent in them. However, my energy levels throughout the day remained fairly consistent and a bit higher overall. No mid-afternoon doze off feelings and I wasn't as jittery as I thought I'd be either.
