I had a much better day today, staying within my 1200-1500 calorie range (including half a dark chocolate bar I ate with supper … :shame:)  I had 10 glasses of water so far and I already see a huge improvement in my energy level.  Eastern Canada is still in the throes of a hot-and-humid spell of weather, and the heat just zaps my energy.  The water really helps.  No walk, but I hope to make up for that tomorrow night.

Breakfast was a poached egg on unbuttered multigrain toast with a tomato slice and coffee; lunch was grilled flounder and a huge tossed salad; dinner was 6 oz lean hamburg patties with lima beans and rice.

Overall, a GOOD day. :clapping:

I lost 4 pounds yesterday! Isn’t that great!

Yeah, except not so much.

I had such high hopes for getting my appetite back under control, and at about 1:00 I couldn’t even *think* about food. My stomach went nuts, and by 2PM I was on the couch for the rest of the day. WTH is THAT virus, and I don’t ever want it again, thank-you-very-much!

Well, it was a good instant boost mentally when it comes to my relationship with my digital readout, but realistically, I know better. Today though - I’m afraid to eat. You know that post-stomach-flu-am-I-gonna-hurl feeling? I’m just going to nurse my black coffee and see how it goes this morning.

Nice jump start, huh?
