I mentioned in my last post that I am at a weight loss plateau. This really sucks. You keep dieting and exercising and the scale does not budge. After some research, several articles mentioned "zig zag dieting" or, not following your diet for a couple of days and eating what you want and then going right back into your diet. I was really apprehensive about this because not only am I trying to lose weight, but I need to overcome my starch and carbohydrate addiction. I also have a tendency to binge eat and low carb has really helped me get past that. All doubts aside, I did eat a few extra carbs yesterday and today. Yesterday, Nick and I made some really yummy low carb chicken parm for dinner. I got the recipe here (http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/chicken_parmesan2.html) but we did add a little bit of bread crumbs and instead of dipping the chicken in butter, we chose to go the regular route and just use eggs. It was sooo good. Today, I did eat some turkey and cheese on ONE slice of whole wheat bread. It was actually really hard to eat bread seeing as how that's one of the main things I am trying to teach my body NOT to want. The half sandwich wasn't that good though, so it didn't leave me wanting more.
That's all for today. I'm going to go look at all inclusive vacation packages because I'm pretty sure Nick and I are taking a vacation in July.
