Let's get right to it. Today, I spoke with the registered dietician at work and she made some suggestions. She said that the massive reduction in calorie intake is probably why I gained weight this week. It's called starvation mode... Apparently, to maintain my physique as it is, I need to consume around 4,000 calories a day, twice the suggested limit, which is what I went to immediately. She suggested raising my goal to 2500 and see if that helped. So, I did.
Today I consumed 3106 calories, burned 665, for a balance of 59 under. Not bad, considering I had two bratwursts for dinner. Pork sausage products are delicious but very calorie heavy.
I would post more, but frankly I'm exhausted from a long week and would rather relax. Maybe I'll even go to bed.

Children of the Light by Sacred Warrior
Almighty God, None Compares by David Crowder*Band
The Grand Tour by George Jones (probably the saddest song ever)
also if you are eating a lot of low calorie snacks- most are high in carbs. Stick with clean foods/snacks like l/f daily, nuts, fruits and veggies and lean means and fish. CARBS ARE KILLERS but carb free is not healthy either. Good carbs!
