Day 17

Well despite the fact that I swore I would get up early today to get studying, I didn't.  :(   I was so tired last night, I fell asleep at 10pm and didn't wake up until my alarm went off at 8am.  Yet I didn't get up, I kept sleeping til about noon.  lol    I made my usual eggs for lunch, and then was having really bad sugar cravings, so had a serving of Trader Joe's chocolate covered banana slices that I bought again last night.  (bad idea)

Today I got a few hours of studying done for my Neuro final that is on Monday morning, so I feel good about that.  Now I need to switch over and do some studying for another class the rest of the night.  Yesterday, I decided that I would get a steak dinner from Chili's, so I ordered it to be picked up at 7pm.  I got a 6oz sirloin with a side of broccoli and loaded mashed potatoes.  They included a bag of chips with salsa, so of course I ate that too.  I was starving!!

I got on the scale today to be disappointed that I didn't lose any weight this week, even though I was eating low calories and low carbs.  As I mentioned in a previous post- I am noticing this to be a trend.  Which is why I'm eating high calories today (and did yesterday, also).   Here is a good article that I found on Mark's Daily Apple website today:  http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dear-mark-should-i-increase-carb-intake-for-weight-loss/#axzz2R2MFxyAL

The only thing that I can do is continue to experiment with this.  Despite researching and reading articles, there doesn't seem to be a clear answer.  Hopefully the naturopath that I'm seeing in June will be able to figure it out and explain it.

Despite my frustrations, I have to continue to eat clean and stay disciplined and motivated.   My body composition is changing, and that is what really matters!!  Next Saturday I will be going shopping for some new clothes with my mom.  :)
