This week I wasn't expecting much on the scale since last week I had such a great weight loss (3 pounds). I was right - I pretty much stayed the same, at 143.4. But I've done two major things differently this week so I'm expecting to lose again next Wednesday.
1. Drink A LOT of water. We're not talking 8 glasses a day. I bought a 54 oz mug at Buc-ces and I fill it up TWICE a day with water. At first it was hard to find the time and the will power to consume 128 ounces of water in a day. However, working in a profession where I'm on my feet talking all day, I need to stay hydrated. And the more I drank it, the more I got used to drinking so much water.
2. Eat TONS of fiber. I've been buying Oroweat Double Fiber bread. Each slice contains 5 grams of fiber - so if I make a healthy sandwich for lunch, I get 10 grams of fiber! Thats more than a third of the recommended daily amount of fiber! I have also started eating Fiber One brand pancakes for breakfast. It comes in a dry mix. Just add water, and they only take a few minutes to cook on the stove. I sometimes mash a banana and add it for extra flavor. Yum!
Also, if I get hungry in between meals, I eat a Fiber One Oat and Chocolate bar, or a Nature Valley protein bar with fiber. They are very filling and do not taste diet at all!
Try these tips, and you will definitely feel more full throughout the day!
