slow slow

I've had my period this week and the weight loss has been really slow. However, I just cheered myself up by realizing that when I dropped below 164 pounds, I went from an "obese" BMI to an "overweight" BMI. So that was a milestone of sorts. I've been sticking to my calories this week, although I've had lots of cravings. One thing I've found useful is pure ground cacao (raw) powder. It's unsweetened and only about 60 calories per 2.5 tablespoons, so I can put a tablespoon in my coffee with a teaspoon of raw honey and have an outstanding mocha for about 45 calories! It beats the sugary cocoa mixes and for a lot fewer calories. I had crazy sushi cravings last night and went to Whole Foods and got spicy tuna and salmon nigiri. It's a little frustrating because sushi calories vary widely on the internet, and I did the best I could adding them up. I've been really fatigued all week, probably a combination of a lot of work and being on my period. I don't feel like I'm drastically under eating, although it would be easy to pig out, so I don't think the fatigue could be from the new eating plan per se. I'm just planning to hang in there and get a lot of sleep when I can. I know my body is going through changes, and I might even be releasing some toxins with the weight loss. Going to eat some tomato and fresh kale soup.
