I am up .4 today. Probably flux. But I wonder if my scale is being wonky! It showed all sorts of weights this morning and would not settle on one. I stood there for a long time before it settled on this one. This has happened with my dumb scale before when it was wet, but it is very dry now and I am wondering if the weight from yesterday was not correct. I thought a 2.6 lb whoosh was awfully large for a couple days after CN!!! And it DID do the same undecided thing yesterday, too! Well, perhaps tomorrow will give me a fast spot-on reading that I can rely on. I am still down and that is all that matters.
CRICKET - I do not find myself thirsty after a CN, so it is probably that sodium.
I'm glad you enjoyed your night out, and I feel the same way when I do a CN. It is like I am forcing myself.
I have to find a happy medium of food that will not leave me feeling that way. My last CN was not even enjoyable.
But in order to get enough High glycemic carbs in, I have to eat stuff that is far too filling. And I always feel I am lacking in nutrition when I do a CN. I really need to find a menu that will hit the sweet spot, so to speak.
It is HARD to do a CN!!!!
I am thinking that next time, I am going to try something more densely concentrated 1st off, rather than my super-filling fluffy cereal. Then maybe by the time dinner rolls around, I can actually have it this time! I am always too full yet to eat a proper dinner.
I am going to try making a low-fat high-protein muffin recipe this time. It will have the proper carbs, and proper protein, and hopefully will not leave me feeling bloated for the rest of the day! Then perhaps I can eat my second spike in the form of a meal and do a snacky thing before bed as the plan should be done!!!!
My next CN falls on a day when we will be out of town, so the Mexican Restaurant is the plan for dinner. This will be a much healthier option for my carbs than just popcorn, like I had last time.
I will have "whatever" as a snack before bed. Not really thinking of that now. I'll grab a brownie mix or something next time I am at the store...
LIANNE & HW - I am curious to hear how your nites went. Do you also experience the difficulty of doing this as CRICKET & I do? Do you plan it and track the carbs and calories? Or do you just wing it and let it fall where it may?
