woo monday! okay...went to philly this weekend and i have to say, i don't think i did that badly. (see food diary for full results...)
i made okay choices considering the situation- i got the steak and baked potato when i could have gotten the bacon cheeseburger and french fries...got a salad with little cheese, no bacon, eggs, or bbq sauce dressing...and i ate good, filling food for breakfast. okay, okay, i had a cheesesteak on sunday but i was in PHILLY. so...i had to. ;)
I found something very interesting out on Thursday. My trainer came over to talk to me when I was on the elliptical and we got to talking about RDI vs weight watcher points and everything. She said she likes weight watchers for people who are just starting...it helps with portion control and getting people used to watching what they eat. However...she said when someone loses almost all of their weight and starts exercising regularly...they need to consume more. I explain my concerns with being over points and under my RDI and she said to go by the RDI. She also said...and this was the astonishing thing...that I should be burning NO MORE THAN 500 calories more than I consume. NO MORE THAN 500 CALORIES?!?!?! I was all sorts of excited because I've been consistently burning almost 1000 calories more than i eat. She said its the same thing as starving yourself, pretty much. You need to eat a certain amount for your body to feel okay with burning calories and getting rid of fat. I was completely freaked out and she wasn't surprised and said it was a common misconception. So...I'm going to make an effort to eat more, I guess. Not necessarily pig out on the chocolate bars...and I'm also going to make it a point not to eat after 9pm...and we'll see what happens. I feel myself getting smaller..I have less jiggle on my arms and my thighs have considerably shrunk. So I'm okay with the fact that I've only lost 4 pounds or so...because muscle weights 5x more than fat.
Okay...done ranting.

It's so hard going away for the weekend and still following your diet. You just have to use your good judgement! Plus, you have those 35 allowance points every week, I'm sure that you didn't use more than that on a cheesesteak! UNLUCKY me, we have a philly cheesesteak place RIGHT near where I live. Why they would open a second store in the suburbs, I have no idea. Imagine driving past it everyday! Haha.
I have a hard time taking in enough calories everyday as it is, and I love working out. I definetely need to eat more, too! You're lucky to have a personal trainer. I want one so bad!
Blah, have fun.. Monday Funday. (NOT!)
