This morning, my sweet husband made me eggs and bacon for breakfast. Another reason to be having a good day. Especially to contrast the fact that yesterday took a depressing turn when I got a call that Rusty, my sweet golden retriever, died. He was 12 years old but I just wasn't expecting it.
Anyway, today I have started a new part of my weight loss regimen and re-downloaded the MyFitnessPal app. I'm adding our favorite Paleo meals in there for easy access and logged all of my meals for today so far. It'll be nice to be able to see the nutrition content of the food I'm eating and keep track of the calories I'm eating per day. When I did Paleo 2 years ago, I ate portions that I considered reasonable or ate until I was satisfied - which worked pretty well. But I wouldn't be surprised if I had been eating more calories than is suggested for someone to lose weight. Right now, the app recommended I eat 1200 calories a day in order to lose 2 lbs a week. I don't think this will be too difficult, since my foods list has been condensed quite a bit because of Paleo. There are a lot of fats though, so I'm wondering if that is something I should pay attention to. Obviously sugar and carbs are the most important thing to watch - I'm not really taking in any sugars other than natural sugars at this point, so that shouldn't be too much of a concern. I should probably decide on whether or not I will be having any splurges. Easter is this Sunday and I'm making a homemade-from-scratch apple pie. So I should decide on the amount of calories/sugars I will allow myself to have when/if I splurge.
Also to mention, I have been drinking 100oz of water every day since Tuesday, hence the blog title. I tried It Works Wraps before our wedding and they really worked - nothing miraculous but I honestly think that's because I didn't drink the correct amount of water. This time, I'm following the instructions more closely so I hope to have more noticeable results. I guess I'll find out tomorrow (72 hours after the wrap).
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs & 2 slices of bacon
Lunch: Paleo Chicken Salad on Romaine boats with red grapes, Babybel cheese, and 5 strawberries.
