I wrote off this past weekend since it started so badly. I ate both lunch (Schlotzky’s) and dinner (P. Terry’s), and neither meal was particularly healthy. Because of my ongoing foot and ankle problems, I didn’t get any exercise (although I should have at least done some stretching or yoga). It could have been worse, though, I suppose (although I’m not sure how). Anyway, my weight this morning is (once again) exactly the same as my weight yesterday morning.

I think I’m going to consume nothing but coffee today. After this weekend, I honestly don’t feel like eating anything at all. Caffeine suppresses appetite, and if I can have coffee for lunch (I’ve already had two cups for breakfast), I can probably get through the rest of the day without eating anything. With my coffee, though, I’m having coconut almond creamer, which has a small amount of sugar in it. I’m not terribly worried about that, though, as it should be burned up via normal metabolism.

My training class starts today, so my stress level will be significantly diminished. That should help with the sugar and carbohydrate cravings, although I always feel like I need a bit of extra fuel when learning. I’m going to try to (finally) get through some stretching and yoga videos after work tonight, but getting anything done after work can be a challenge depending on how wiped out I feel.

I may stop by the grocery store after work to pick up some yogurt and blueberries. I’m sure I’ll have to have something more than coffee at some point, but it’ll be an experiment to see when that need kicks in. As I wrote yesterday, my goal is to be down 10 pounds by the end of the week, so there won’t be much eating going on. I think I’ll even try not to have a cheat day since those can get me on that slippery slope toward more cheating. Anyway, I’m relieved that this week will be time away from the misery of my job, and I suspect that I’ll be better able to stick to healthy eating (or no eating) as a result.
