dammit! i gain 2.5 of the 3 lbs i lost last week, and in just a couple of days. i really can't be so shocked though. i was just not on top of my eating game this weekend.

i've come across a few posts that mentioned gary taubes and his new book. i definitely want to read that. also i've decided to test out low-carb eating this week and seeing if that will give me weight-loss results in one week.

i've done atkins before, and lost weight fast. but i felt so crappy. but i think it was due to the fact that i was only eating bacon, cheese, and eggs all day, everyday. this time, i'm balancing it out and making sure that i eat veggies, fruits and nuts.

i made some quiche last night to eat today, made with eggs (2 whole, 1 white), turkey bacon, cheese, and onions. i didn't have to use any oil because the silicone baking pan doesn't need it. but it still felt greasy from all the cheese oil. i need to get some low-fat cheese options. i also need to play around with quiche recipes. this batch was ok, but it's too rich that i can't picture eating it everyday. so far so good though.

today is going to be tough one to resist all the carbs. it's valentines day and people brought a lot of sweets to work. i did good and just opted for a couple of strawberries and plain walnuts. i have more quiche for lunch, and then a burger salad for dinner. oh, got to make sure i drink my water!!

i had a lot of built-up anxiety leading up to my weight and measurement check-in this morning. i think it was my expecting that it would be a huge disappointment. i did cheat a bit and took a sneak peek by measuring myself last night; which turned out to be a bad idea. my measurements last night showed an increase of inches over the past week, and i was so devastated and frustrated because i've been struggling with getting through my workouts this week. i fought the urge to weigh myself, thank goodness.

so i slept through it and did my official weigh-in and measurements this morning before showering. and the results actually came out good. not great and no jumping for joy. but i'm happy with the results. i lost 3 lbs since monday. at first i was really unhappy with the number because i thought my initial weight on monday was 140 meaning i only lost 1 lb; but when i entered my weight on this website, i realized that my starting weight was actually 142. so it ended up being a 3lb weight loss after all. not bad. in addition, i lost a quarter of an inch from my chest and hips. that is also good. of course, my mind automatically turns to glass-half-empty mode, and i start to think why didn't my waist change. but really, i should be darn proud of myself for the progress i've made. i struggle with that emotional/mental part all the time.

with this coming week before next weight and measurement check-in, i need to step up my healthy eating effort. this week, i've been eating less; but not necessarily the right types of foods. need to stop with the coffee-only breakfast. i'm going to play around with some bread-less quiche recipes with the idea of making of a bunch ahead of time and freezing them, so each morning all i have to do is pop a couple in the microwave and eat them.

and also, need to work on the water situation. must, must, must!!
