Day 12: Calorie Spike

Pretty close to the half way mark with this. I've been bitching about it quite a bit in the last couple days I have to admit. I really want so sort of Asian cuisine. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese just put it in my mouth.Chris wants pizza and Mexican. Last night we were joking about how our local pizza place does a Thai-peanut pizza and a taco pizza and how we might have to go half and half on one when we're done with this. Except for the fact that it sounds disgusting.

All bitching aside, I'm doing okay. I've lost 7lbs in the last 12 days and 3 in the last week. If I start losing more than 7 in a week I'm going to have to adjust somethings, but I don't think that's going to happen. Chris and I are having a calorie spike day today, which we've done every weekend followed by a salt flush. Which I DON'T want to talk about. Google if you're curious. Anyway, on our calorie spike days we take our calories as high as we can manage without feeling too sick. Chris's goal is 2700 calories, mines around 2200. So that our bodies don't end up thinking that we're starving. It may sound counter intuitive, but it actually will help us keep losing weight. We also allow ourselves some cooked food. No dairy, no meat and nothing pre-made (we're making an exception today for the hummus).

Todays menu:
Suateed escarole with garlic and lemon
Squash baked in homemade tomato sauce
Greek salad (minus feta)
hummus and avocado
