Welcome to the roller coast called AL's Life. Today was Tabata and weigh in day for the weight loss contest. As we know last week was a bit of a downer due to an unexpected weight gain. So this week a reversal of that trend with an unexpected weight loss. Yes I dropped all the weight I'd gained up to last weeks weigh in. So I registered a 6lb deficit today. It's enough to drive you crazy. Good thing I've got this under control.
It is a bit confusing though as I try to figure out why I lost the weight. I definitely took some risks over the weekend (Teriyaki Chicken anyone?) but at the same time I'm cutting out some carbs or at least trying to. Well we will see in another week as I'm going to try to stick to the carb thing for another week.
Something else I've noticed is the fact that I'm feeling hungry after work before going to the gym. I stopped eating a second snack after lunch but again not sure if that's the reason for the hunger. I will say though that after my trip to the gym I'm not as hungry or feeling hungry. So when I get home and have the protein drink and yogurt I feel satisfied. I've read that exercise releases a chemical that acts as a appetite suppressant. I'm starting to think that's true.
Breakfast: Three egg frittata with onion, red pepper and spinach. 20oz of cold water.
1st snack: Greek yogurt and almonds (23)
Lunch: Stir fried veggies, red pepper, yellow zucchini, and broccoli. A turkey patty and corn/black bean salsa
Dinner: Protein drink, Greek yogurt and almonds (23), Chia seeds. Some jerky and a low sodium V-8.
Again it was Tabata night and did some push ups and obliques focused moves. I may be feeling those tomorrow.
