So Hungry…


It’s funny how some days 1200 calories can do the trick and other days I am dying.  Today has been the second sort of day.  Food wise I was very close to where I have been every other day, yet an hour after breakfast I was starving.  I ate lunch, but by 4 my stomach was actually growling.  Then thirty minutes after dinner I was scanning the kitchen for a snack. 

On top of all of this, my lovely wife decided to bake for the kids tonight, so as I am sitting in the living room trying to focus on not eating she is standing in the kitchen making up an amazing apple crisp.  But for those of you wondering I did not fall into temptation and eat said apple crisp.  And my kids, (the human vacuum cleaners they are) finished off the apple crisp so it is no longer a temptation. 

Here’s a look at what I ate on Tuesday October 2nd:

Morning: Special K Protein Bar (180 Calories)

Mid Morning Snack: None

Lunch: Shake, *1 cup skim milk, 1 cup whey protein, 1 banana, ¾ cups blueberries (390 Calories)

Mid Afternoon Snack: None

Dinner:  Meijer chicken fillet, 2 cups birds eye broccoli with light cheese (340 Calories)

Evening Snack: Hardboiled egg, ½ cup Grapenuts, ½ cup skim milk (321 Calories)

In the end I finished the day at 1231 calories.  I would also like to give a special thanks to my brother Travis who showed up at 9:00 to hang out and play video games, which completely made me forget about the fact I was hungry and made the evening an enjoyable one, instead of one where I just sat around thinking about how hungry I was. 

On another note I weighed in at 299.4 this morning so down .4 pounds since yesterday so nothing huge yet, but we will see what tomorrow holds.  Till Then……
