This is what I wrote before I left on my walk today...
So unfortunately today after weighing myself I didn't make much progress because I went overboard last night drinking and eating chicken tenders from the grocery store so I kind of expected this to be a mistake for the next day that I would be weighing myself. So, it was only like about 2 pounds that I gained and I'm still under 250 pounds so I don't think that's all that bad if you ask me.
Today, when I go shopping, I might just get 1 tall beer just to satisfy my thirst for tonight and I'm definitely going to pick up something for tomorrows dinner that I won't be motivated to make tonight in case my food cravings kick in or something. Last night I honestly looked at those chicken tenders that I had bought just sitting there in the fridge... and yeah.
I ate them. And drinking only one or two beers when you have 4 more cold ones in the fridge too, well, I can never control myself with beer if I have more than just 1 can in the fridge. Anyways, before I left on my walk today I had enough perogies that it would equal about under 1000 calories which is about half a box that you can get at the grocery store.
7 perogies is about 410 calories according to the back of the box which is just under 60 calories per perogy. I'm going to pretty much finish the other half of the box tomorrow before going on my walk for the day tomorrow as I am sick of eating perogies to be completely honest with you all.
When I got back...
I ended up getting a few things at the store for the next few days for when I run out of perogies and they're all cheap things like a whole thin pizza for under $5 and those nutritional bowls that you can buy in the frozen section which are actually very tasty and some what healthy for you.
Like I have said in previous posts, I'm probably the worst example for when it comes to dieting but I cannot really afford to make food for myself and honestly I will admit that I am living proof that someone can lose over 80 pounds in a whole year without eating completely healthy so there's that to think about too.
I also picked up some Zevia at the store since I knew I would be craving alcohol and hopefully the 1 beer I had tonight will be enough and the Zevia can make up for the rest of the night. That last snack I had tonight around 9PM (the nutritional bowl) I think that had around 350-400 calories in it so I think I consumed some where around 1500-1600 calories today.
I am normally not the kind of person to count calories but I do like to do the math. Having only 1000 calories in one meal while following the OMAD diet is not really enough I have read online and around 1400-1500 for someone my size is definitely sufficient but don't take my word for it and obviously talk to a Dietitian or your family doctor please!.
What I think might throw off the scale when I weigh myself tomorrow is the bottle of orange juice that I had while walking and I also had one of those Starbucks Frappachino's in a bottle you can get conveniently at the store instead of walking into an actual Starbucks.
I usually learn from these mistakes and I sometimes go a bit overboard with rewarding myself but let me just say that I predict the next 80 pounds that I lose will possibly take another 6-8 months to even a year from this day before I reach my target weight 170 pounds which is where I originally was before the spike in weight gain from taking that horrible medication.
