117.5 [Day 26] Feel No Hunger

In the bathroom at work.  117.5 today.
Let's not ruin it at happy hour!!

I hate hearing weight loss advice experts say, "To stave off hunger grab a handful of nuts.  The filling fiber and protein will make you feel full."  I roll my eyes and say, "gimme a freakin' break.  I'm starving!  What can nuts do for me?  Nothing.  I'll eat all that fat and still want to eat my arm off.  I'd rather just eat a damn pizza."  Well, I have discovered that Fiber 1 is my nuts.  It didn't hit me until yesterday that I haven't been hungry at work like usual.  I ate the Fiber1/yogurt combo earlier-at lunch time and for the rest of the day I didn't even think about food.  No stomach grumbling or fishing through my drawer in desperation for any long ago forgotten snacks.  It's awesome.  It may not last but I will enjoy it while it does.  irritated that this yogurt is higher in cals then I thought so some of my previous calorie counts are off by about 50 cals.  Oops.  After work I went to Ross to find something to wear for happy hour today.  I found a cute $11.00 dress but it's too cold so I'm wearing jeggings instead and a shirt I already have.  A sexier one then pictured in the above photo.  I did my make up and I've got my knee high boots on.  I'm ready to party!  Just as soon as I can escape work.

[Breakfast was Coffee & LF Pop Tart=223]
Lunch:  Yogurt & Fiber1=160

After my impromptu shopping trip I went to the gym which is right next door.  I didn't get there until 6pm because they never have enough people working at Ross so the line was long.  I did 40 min on elliptical for 350!!  Then my stretching.  I don't care if anyone looks at me crazy for sitting around in the splits and resting my face on my knee.  I used to be embarrassed or think people might think I'm showing off but I don't care.  I want my flexibility back and if it means doing splits every day after my work out then so be it.  They are getting so much easier to do again.

Dinner: Salad w/Egg, FF dressing,
tiny bit of crunch=156

I didn't get home until 7:30pm and I still wasn't hungry.  I could hardly believe it.  I was under my cal's so I went ahead and ate my salad with a hard boiled egg in it.  I still have this fear of stalling out my metabolism again.  Then, just 'cause I still had calories left where I could STILL be under I had string cheese and light ice cream.  Yummy!  I felt so indulgent and as soon as I finished the ice cream and could feel that there was something in my stomach I did about 200 crunches.  Much better.  Total Cals for the day=755.  I watched I Used To Be Fat and My Strange Addiction.  There is a new show called Heavy starting soon so look out for that one too.  It still won't come up in my show search on DVR.  I talked to hubby on the phone and went to bed.  It's so strange being in the house alone.  When I was in my studio it felt more like being in a bedroom so it didn't feel so empty and quiet.  I had a random dream that I was a gymnast again.  I was preparing for a meet and I hadn't even worked out in a long time so I was stressing out trying to remember routines and scrambling around to find my floor ex music.  I think I dreamed that because of the splits!!

Snack:  Light ice cream, string cheese=210

Turns out that I actually can't do the hard boiled egg idea.  I blocked it out because it seems so odd but when I went to the Dr in September I was told my LDL cholesterol panel was 127 when it's not supposed to be above 100.  Surprising on my typically low cal diet.  Which is why I ignored it.  Well, I logged in and looked at my numbers myself and decided that the doctor probably knows what she's talking about so I had better go ahead and get that fish oil supplement she recommended.  I will be getting re tested in May or so.  Eggs have 200 some mg of cholesterol so no can do.  I'll stick to eating it on salads and using egg beaters or egg whites for omelets.

Oh, and why are my boobs so dang big?  When I take off my bra they feel massive.  Hubby even noticed it!  He says they are a perfect handful.  No matter how hard I tried I used to not be able to even squeeze them together into any semblance of cleavage and now when I do that there is this perfect little space between these rounded boobs and I don't know where they came from.  I'm a B Cup.  My no means are my boobs huge, just huge for me.

Quiet Battle-I have never ever seen Ezekial bread in stores but I've heard about it so I need to look. 
Nerigasa-Thanks so much for your comment on my writing.  I love to write so it tickles me that others derive any sort of humor or pleasure from it.
