The Final Push Round 2 Day 2 of Diet – 4 kg in 2 Weeks

As little as I was suffering yesterday, my body decided to make up for it today. On the bright side, I weighed in at 62,6 kg this morning. This is a Tuesday and it was quite a change from last Friday's 64,5 kg. But that's the only positive thing I experienced on day two...

I woke up with an all-consuming hunger. My stomach actually hurt from hunger. I had my tea (supposedly slimming) and a drinkable yoghurt, this time not the healty kind. I had a nice stracciatella yoghurt left and did not have the willpower to forgo it this morning. Especially since my boyfriend so sweetly offered it to me before he left for work.

I tried keeping strong and not eating anything before lunch, but finally I had a few litchi. It helped against the noises my stomach was making as well as the worst of the excruciating hunger. As I share my office with another person, the noises were really too shameful to ignore...

For lunch I had a big sallad with the same light dressing from yesterday. A tad repetitive, but it's my favorite... However, I was starving after one hour so I had a mango. Later in the afternoon I had a banana half an hour before going to the gym. When I came home from the gym, which honestly wasn't that high performing, I was starving again so I had a mandarin and a few slices of pinapple. My boyfriend cooked quinoa for dinner and made it with mushrooms and the tiniest bit of chicken mixed through. It was delicious and even more tasty as my boyfriend did the mushrooms especially for me and had to create something else for him.

However, when I logged my meals, I was way, way over my calorie budget. For some reason Noom considered my mushrooms to be worth 580 calories. I guess with fried mushrooms they mean deep-fried in oil, because I can't believe that simply fried mushrooms would be that calorific. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. All in all, it was a bit of a frustrating day.

Day 2 is definitely the worst...you are still used to your old ways and not yet used to the healthy ways. It's a matter surviving.
