Can I really do this?

Ok so I splurged for Lunch... :(

I had a small salad with 1.5 servings of Caesar Vinaigrette dressing and a few slivered almonds (I mean a very few) I sprinkled on some chopped pecans and walnuts. The whole thing was about 230 calories.

Then I was still a bit hungry and didn't want to eat too much dressing because of the fat and sodium (it's surprisingly low calorie for salad dressing) and something a bit sweet sounded good. So I had 1/2 a cup of life cereal and 1/2 a cup of whole milk (I forgot to pick up some skim last night at the store and I don't know why I did 1/2 a cup of milk when I should have done 1/4, it was like a bowl of milk with some cereal flakes in it lol). Then I added in two medium sized sliced strawberries. It hit the spot.

So I started typing this blog about 10 minutes ago and then had to go switch over the laundry since we are washing my son's favorite blankie and he was panicking, then I went to check on the two kids that went upstairs, and now I'm back finishing the blog.

I can honestly say, I am a little bit full. I've consumed about 754 calories today which means I only have about 428 left of my daily amount. That's not a lot. I'm going to have to spread things out a bit more in the morning/afternoon. I can't believe I'm full though. Normally I could have eaten 754 calories for one meal. In fact most people can. So I'm going to say that the hcg and the adipex are working.

I've gotten a bit tired today which seems strange since adipex is basically legal speed, but I guess even legal speed won't keep you going, going, going, all day when you went to bed around 2 am the night before and woke up at 7 am.

I'm going to see if I can take a quick nap before we go to the gym. This will be the test to see how the adipex will affect my sleeping. I have a feeling that I might lay down and yawn but my mind might continue to race.

I'm hoping to be asleep by 10pm tonight and no later. Tomorrow I have a friend from high school coming over with her son. We are going to do an indoor picnic.

Can I really do this? 1182 calories is going to be hard for me. 1500 I can do, but I want to stick with the program. The program calls for 1200 calories a day, but for my weight and height I should eat 1182 to lose 2 lbs a week if I am sedentary. Hopefully since I will also be exercising I will be able to lose 3+ lbs a week.

I'm planning on doing high intensity interval training on the stationary bike today, or possibly doing some TRX. We will see.
