Thoughts on today:
Woohoo! Today was (mostly) back on track. I bumped my calories up to 1,800 because I actually find my body reacts better to more calories. Have you ever noticed that when you eat a little extra for a few days, sometimes you feel thinner? I don't mean anall-out pig fest, but a healthy amount of calories from healthy foods? I do...and I'm thinking that since I literally ingested almost 2,500 calories pre-diet, that the 1,000 calorie deficiency messed my body up (which is why it was holding on to the fat!). After a few days of eating extra, I'm seeing better results (I haven't noticed any weight loss, but I definitely see more definition), so I bumped it up 200 calories. I think on workout days, I can probably go as high as 2,000 calories, but sometimes I don't want all that food and I also want to create a little wiggle room for the weekends :)
