Hm, that is a bit pricey. Though not unlike some of Dogfish Head's I suppose. We spent $8 on a 12oz bottle of one of theirs a couple of years ago.... 120 minute IPA I think. Not something I'd do often though.
Anyway... Operation Gluttony is officially over. I'm going to work on 100% compliance this week (or at least for a few days), just to make myself feel better... I feel rather gross today, after eating pretty poorly for a week. It sure was decadent though!
Croissants or crepes for breakfast, beer and pizza for lunch, beer and mussels for dinner!
And can I just say, it felt good to just eat. I ate until I felt full. Not just satisfied or to my caloric guidelines, but I Ate with a capital A. I love that feeling and I know that not having that feeling is a large part of my struggle with trying to lose weight – I really like feeling full (not to discomfort). I don’t know if it’s a rush of dopamine or what, but it just FEELS good. I missed that. A lot.
I'm not even going to bother stepping on the scale for at least a week, to let my body kind of 'reset'.
I'm taking myself off the beer for a while. I drank a LOT last week (averaged about 3 a day I think) and REALLY enjoyed it as much as I could. I remembered how much I love, love,
love rich, flavorful beer. If I could find a calorie-free, alcohol-free beer that tasted like a Brutal Bitter or La Fin du Monde, I'd buy it by the case.
John read Lyle MacDonald's Guide to Flexible Dieting which I hope to read here in the next week or 2. John's in Lyle's stage 1 and i believe I'm in stage 2; I won't know more about it till I do some reading, though. We'll still be doing PN for our meals, we'll just be doing a few refeeding periods here & there according to Lyle's book. I'm going to try to get down to 140 by my birthday (~2 months) and it's going to take some hard work. I can't half-ass 5-6 pounds of fat loss in 2 months. I know I can do it, I just need to work a bit harder at the fat loss than I have been lately.
