Last night was rough! It turns out it may not be in your best interest to eat high carb foods (like risotto) because they'll fill you up in the short term, but make you ravenous in the long term. That fact could not be more true.
We went to bed hungry. My brain would not shut the hell up about FOOD. I couldn't think about anything else. Even worse, I couldn't get comfortable in bed with an empty stomach. And when I did finally fall asleep, in perfect color and definition, I dreamed of the morning when I would go downstairs and make cream of wheat with raspberry jam and chocolate chips for breakfast. Scratch the first part. My dream might have well been IMAX 3D quality. Seriously!
Needless to say, when Mike's alarm went off this morning, I was tired, but ready to get out of bed. My brain was still signalling, "Eat something! EAT SOMETHING!" And just like in my dream, I wandered downstairs and began preparing cream of wheat (deja vu, no?). Mmmm. It was delicious! However, Mike and I both felt like our stomachs were a little confused about finally being given food. Mentally and physically, though, we're definitely feeling a lot better than last night.
The results so far?
Weigh in (7:45am, pre-food):
Lori: 126.8 lbs. ( -2.2 lbs)
Mike: 240.4 lbs. ( -0.6 lbs if we consider that last night, Mike weighed himself in at 241.0 lbs).
So now the question remains: Will we binge today and eat more than we should? And what food choices will we make - good ones or bad ones? Find out later today!
