Bytsi, other people have commented on the nuts also. I went to a nutritionist at one point, and was told I need to get 60 grams of fat, preferably unsaturated, a day. I get it mostly in the form of nuts. Two servings of pecans gets me 40 grams of fat, and the rest I pick up in the dairy products. I like them because they keep me satisfied for a really long time. I think that they might be better at keeping hunger away than protein. Other people have commented on the nuts too. Maybe I need to be more careful. Maybe I'll eat less and see how I react.
So today I'm really hungry. Small headache really hungry. Grouchy hungry. I'm telling myself I'll stay disciplined, but I wonder how that will work out if I'm going for my mother's day visit. Home visits always involve food. I might pack it all with me... I think this is the most determination I've ever had during a calorie cut. Probably because there's an end in sight.
I went to the store and bought all the soy chicken I could find. Ten packs. It keeps me filled up more than anything I can think off. I plan on living on it for the next 12 days.

Today's Workout:
Spent 5 minutes figuring out the stage 2 exercises.
15 min HIIT: 5 min warm up, followed by 3 1:2 intervals.
I'm starting the HIIT up gradually. In the past I've pushed myself so hard that I got to a point where I was afraid of it.
