4.2 for me this morning.
I've had a couple of days when I haven't been feeling my 100% best. Nothing dire, just not quite the full ticket. Looking back, I don't think I have been spreading my food evenly enough throughout the day. Having found rhubarb (I can't get it overseas, were it's too hot for it to grow, and the only canned stuff is in syrup), I swapped my rolled oats with milk and a little bran for yoghurt and rhubarb. I've been loving it, but it has been a chop in both calories and my usual carb regime. Because my calories were running low, and I was losing weight I upped both protein and fat at dinner, because lunch is usually a brief stop in the day. I'm not keen to modify my lunch too much as I feel it gives me flexibility, not to be wedded to a bigger meal that I don't really feel I need. So, it's going to be tweaking backwards for me, and see how that goes.
Chatting with my OH yesterday, I was relating bumping into someone I used to work with at a business meeting on Thursday, and her reaction. It was the second time someone had done a double take on theme I'm now used to. She said she was more thrown by the change on my hair and jawline than too much more, which actually made me feel more comfortable about the whole thing. My OH had also had a business meeting on Thursday, with someone he last met about 3 months ago. She didn't recognise him, as she stated he has lost weight. Ooooops. Maybe he's not eating enough chips in my absence after all!! He hasn't actually lost a material amount of weight, but the body composition monitor suggests his visceral fat (I wouldn't have said he was likely to have had much, as he's always been slim) has notched down and general muscle increased too. Since I came back, aside from meals out and barbecues, he has stuck pretty much to the way we had been eating. Needless to say, I'm pleased about that, as it means there probably isn't another period of adjustment when he comes home in a few weeks.
Onward and onward,....................... have a great day playmates.
