Although I am thrilled to be into week two with a fabulous 8.5lbs lost in 7 days I am honestly devastated today. My mom surprised me at work and wanted to take me out to lunch to celebrate the fact that she is CANCER FREE!(WOO HOO). So we went to applebees. After searching the menu I got what I thought was the healthiest, bottomless soup and salad. I got the grilled shrimp and spinach and french onion soup I got a second round of the grilled shrimp and spinach because it was a really small portion and I ate shrimp last night and there are very few calories in shrimp. I just got back and jumped on the Internet to look up the calories. I found out I just ate about 696 calories! SERIOUSLY??? I did scrape ALLL of the cheese off the top of the soup, and I asked them to NOT add almond's bacon or any dressing WHAT so ever to my shrimp and spinach so I am sure it is a little less than 696, but its still way over 500. I have not even had dinner................ WHAT A BUMMER RIGHT? I am not sure if I should skip dinner or still eat it? Should I work out? I am not sure? I do not want to skip dinner, because I do not want my body to go into starvation mode... *SIGH* I was so excited this morning and now I am really bummed out! Especially because I thought I was making a healthy choice which over all I was but the soup was the worst part! SOO LAME!
It says NOT to skip meals. Eat an apple! French Onion soup without the toppings is generally 80 calories. I only know this from a past diet! It will be ok... I ate a TON at BWW on sunday and still lost weight. I found a site that says if you over did it or come to a plateau... eat an apple from lunch one to thru lunch the next each time your hungry and NOTHING else...
ReplyDeleteSweet! thanks! I am still a little bummed out because I had been doing soo well! I am excited for you though 10 pounds is amazing!
ReplyDeletewell, i have a feeling that I am going to slow down!
ReplyDeleteYeah I have the same feeling I had 0 weight loss today although I know thats because yesterday was not perfect... HOWEVER I still think I am going to try to switch things up a bit to keep the progress going!
