Now that's a more reasonable number! Of course I'm still not legal, but I'm very happy with the loss. I just hope I can keep it for tomorrow. I did my 1 hour workout this morning, and I was able to use my 15 lb weights which felt great. I've got quite a library of FIRM videos. Right now I'm working on BSS1 (BSS:Body Sculpting System), which is their first set of videos in the body sculpting series. I have all 3 & the Transfirmer set so I can do a good rotation without getting bored. I'm working on getting their latest set as well, but I need to order more hcg this month first while dd.ca is still having their sale.

So I kept my food journal today & I put the results into fitday. I didn't calculate any calories until my day was done and here's where I ended up

*** Warning!*** I ate GOOOOD today :)

B: 4 cheddar cheese eggs with 4 pieces of bacon
S: 2 c pork rinds & a string cheese
L: 1 chicken breast stuffed with mozzarella and pesto. 1 cup steamed broccoli with light butter.
S: can of tuna with homemade mayo, sugar free relish, onion, celery & mustard. a string cheese
D: 4 slices of garlic & herb seasoned pork loin, roasted peppers and onions with olive oil, salt, pepper & fresh herbs. Hot Chocolate made with 1c 2% milk, 1T cocoa powder, 2T splenda, dash of salt & 1/4 tsp vanilla.... YUMMO :)

Fitday stats

	grams	cals	%total
Total:		2176
Fat:	112	1010	48%
Sat:	43	385	18%
Poly:	16	142	7%
Mono:	44	396	19%
Carbs:	37	115	5%
Fiber:	8	0	0%
Protein:	249	996	47%

I think Fitday calculates that I need 2200 calories with my amount of activity, so according to that 2176 is about where I should be calorie wise, but I think I need to cut down on the fats a bit. I ate a little more meat than I normally do, so let's see where I end up tomorrow.

Oh yeah... I almost forgot. I saw this program on TLC the other day called "I Can Make You Thin". The commercial for it caught my eye because it looks like this guy is going to demonstrate the Callahan technique on the next show. It's on next week on sunday at 9pm EST. The first show was really interesting too. I really recommend watching it, I think the first show is repeating on TLC throughout the week.

In response to yesterday's comments :)

Mary - I guess that was water. I'm closer to my LIW that I have been in quite a while. I'm so happy about that! If I can take off just 2 more pounds I would be estatic, but if I don't I'll be fine with that too. Thanks for stopping by every day. It means alot :)

Becca - I actually did consider that & you might be right. I just went and checked that BMR calculator... It says I need around 2500 calories to maintain cus I think I'm somewhere between number 3 & 4 on the Daily Calorie Needs chart. That's WAY more than I ever eat. You're right. I AM shocked! I'd be afraid to eat that much, but thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I can add another snack in a day.

Shelly - I hear you Shell, I'm trying it... sort of. I'm going to keep a journal and total it at the end of the day. I think that just might be the issue here. I ate more today than I usually do and I still didn't hit 2500 calories.
