I thought I'd revisit my thread because of something that happened.
As I say at work...Nothing bad. Just a musing.
I've been perking along hanging out in maintenance doing really well if I maypat myself on the back for a moment. (Not to get too cocky
)
Weight=low of 137(those rare ays when the Gods want to mess with my head) to around 140 (my "normal" maintentance weight). If I creep up to 142-143, I go on induction for 2-3 days. I'm serious this time around--the 5 pound rule at this point is a bit high for my comfort zone. I fully embrace the normal weight flucuations--meaning, My head doesn't explode nor do I live my life by the scale.
Logging. Measureing. That's what keeps me focused. The week I didn't have access to MY PLAN like I usually do and didn't log my food I overate a bit.
I keep my carbs around 45-60. I'm satisfied.
So, here is where I ask you if this was paranoid or not.
I eat off-plan meal about once a week, sometimes twice a week in a blue-moon.
I went grocery shopping the other day and decided to incorporate potato--I purchased 1 white and 1 sweet.
I thought I'd bake one (the white one) and eat half tonight with my steak. I plugged it into MY PLAN--~6 grams per oz--I figured a half was 4-5 oz. 24-30 grams for half a potato??!! I totally said no way--if I was going to eat 25-30 grams of carb I'd have an extra glass of wine and/or a LC dessert or save those carbs for an off-plan meal. Suffice it to say, I gave the potatos to my mom.
Was this totally paranoid?? or was it that the potatos really didn't hold that much of a facination for me.
I should say that I'm not totally paranoid. The other day when I was really hungry after 2 Zumba classes and working in the yard, I ate a piece of toasted Eskeial with my scrambled eggs. (and no, it didn't turn me into a crave monster or anything like that--it's that same loaf that's been in my freezer for a year
)
So whattya think?
Let's hear it?
