Day 5 on the Alli Plan

Weight - 273

I was so happy to see that my weight had not changed since yesterday. We went out to eat and I tried my best to eat as healthy as I could. Substituting celery for fries and eating just a drop of ranch dressing on each piece of celery. I was very proud of myself.

This morning we went to the gym at the Freshman Campus and worked out for 30 minutes. It felt so good to get up and moving. Then we all went and got hair cuts. I got mine cut wicked short for two reasons: First, it is much cooler when I am walking in the afternoons and second, it was looking so raggedy when I was working out. This will make me feel and look better. I did stop in at the donut connection (right beside the hair salon) and peeked at what they had. I opted to pass and eat my breakfast at home.

I am already beginning to notice a difference in my clothes and I am only on day five of the Alli Plan. This makes me want to keep going in the worse kind of way! Feeling better and looking better are even better than the weight loss itself.

I had breakfast when I got back from the gym. I had two weight watchers bagels with fat free cream cheese. That only contained 1 gram of fat and 360 calories so I also had a weight watchers ice cream sandwich to try to meet my calorie and fat goals for that meal. I kind of find it comical that I have to work to eat more calories and fat. Go figure! All total I had 3 grams of fat and 500 calories for breakfast. I am so glad I passed on the donut connection.

I ended up taking a nap in the afternoon and didn't eat lunch. I did take another Alli pill before I went to the ballpark so that I could eat some sunflower seeds. I have been experiencing some strange sensations today. Light headedness and a nagging pain between my shoulders. I am attributing that to the workout this morning. I am going to watch carefully after reading that one woman had some heart issues when taking Alli.
For dinner I had half a boneless, skinless chicken breast, about a half of a cup of stove top stuffing made with fat free butter and a large serving of broccoli with fat free butter and a little fat free cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. It was a decent meal that allowed for some dessert afterward.
All total today I had 1365 calories and 18 grams of fat.
