Normal – I am not!
Posted by madamlight on July 6, 2008
As you may recall Friday (the 4th) after we did our 32 mile bike ride, I was not hungry. In fact, my meals were sparce. Which caused my whacked out body to put on 5 lbs.
Still after almost 11 months of this, I gain weight when I cut back my intake. Why can’t I lose weight from less?
I still have folks telling me – “just cut back on your calories and you will lose weight”.
BS! I wish this was all I needed to do with my exercise plan. Oh, how I long to be normal.
Yesterday, I was famished. All day I was in search of something else to shove in my mouth. Looking back I would say 75% of my day was associated with eating. Whether it be searching for the next item, cooking or eating. I just couldn’t stop.
Then last night, we attended an event with friends. And I had a couple of Bud Lights – if you know what I mean. So, when the popcorn came out, you would have thought I missed all meals for the day too. I ate good food, bad food, any food. I was the walking disposal yesterday.
I wake up this morning after an excellent night sleep, read the paper with my coffee and cream. And I proceed to make breakfast. Oh, no Total Cereal here. I made Cinnamon Pancakes. And ate 2 of them. No Sugar Free Syrup either. Full calorie crap here.
I go to shower and get ready for my day and am shocked. After all that intake yesterday and no exercise as I give my knees more recovery time – the scale dropped 5 lbs.
A logical person would say that I should have gained 10 lbs from my consumption yesterday. Or maintained at the very least. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would see a drop. Especially after consuming breakfast. I’m guessing, had I weighed before breakfast my drop would have been more substantial.
