Glorious Sunday To You All! So after some late night chatting with some good buddies here on FS and a review of my food journals and lack of scale movement lately, I concur that I am not eating enough calories. Yikes, who woulda thunk it!! I am pretty good at recognizing when others are not eating enough and encouraging them to eat more....why not in myself??? We are sometimes the worst at taking our own advice. Thank you to my wonderful buddies for setting me straight!! So, I have eaten more the last couple of days, the scale is up one pound this AM, but that is to be expected until my metabolism gets turned around. My RDI here on FS to lose one pound/week is 1800. My average burn per day according to my BMF is around 2500 for a deficit of around -700/day. I think that is a good place to start. I think I am getting plenty of protein but will have to add in some more carbs and try to not exceed 100g/day. Will have to up the fat with some avocados, butter, almond butter. Probably won't be too hard to do. Must include more at breakfast and lunch and keep my dinners light with salad and protein during the week as we have been doing. Weekends get a little dicey as we are out of our normal routine, hubby has last minute menu changes he would like so I have learned how to change up my plan and accomodate. Just life, that's all!! Most important.... keep planning, keep journaling, keep reevaluating, keep educating myself about this journey, keep making progress!!! If I stop any of those, in my mind, that will add up to eventual failure (yet again) and I am not going to allow that!! We had a great day yesterday at mom and dads for the mini-BBQ. Went to my brothers to pick out some stuff we want, knew that was going to be emotional so we lightened the mood, cranked up the turntable, picked thru the massive vinal collection and put on some Jethro Tull-Thick as a Brick! - we laughed and sang as we got the job done! Today is the usual Sunday, I am going to make the black bean brownies here in the cookbook. Will report out on those later tonight with a cookbook review. Also need another batch of my flax pancakes for breakfast this week, will whip those as well and microwave them to reheat during the week. Hope all is splendid in your world today!!

Babs - Glad that yesterday turned out well for you. Lately there are lots of folks on here re-planning and recalculating - must be something in the air.

Babs - good for you on your discovery, stick with your new plan for at least a month to see true results, the pound up will only be the higher volume of food eaten in your digestive system, so don't panic!

Babs, I found the same. When I upped my calories the scale started moving...just a little, but it is in the right direction!!! Great job re-evaluating and revamping!! Have an awesome Sunday, my friend! Hugs!

Thanks gals, must admit, I am a little nervous about this but I DO know that how little I was eating just wasn't enough to get the motor running. I do already notice that with the higher calories for the past couple of days my digestive system is functioning more efficiently so that is a good sign!

Looking forward to hearing about the black bean brownies...I have some beans in my fridge I need to do something with or else they need to get tossed. Glad you had a good day yesterday & that you collectively made the decision NOT to let it be a sad occasion!

Good evening, Babs! I am always impressed with the way you to through your journals, and food etc. and keep tweaking your diet to gain the maximum benefits. You make it appear easy, but I know it is a lot of hard work! I hope your changes now will produce excellent results for you - as you are an excellent person! Have a good night, Friend.

Your close attention to your body's needs will pay off big time. We do have to constantly monitor what we are putting in the pie hole and make adjustments as the journey continues. Good for you on the heads up call to make slight change-ups to your LTP. You go girl!!!
