I found myself not feeling hungry.  Guess there really is something to following the trainer's advice ;-)  I think I finally realized my body does need protein in the form of something other than milk/dairy products.  Eating the deli meat seems to keep me from starving.  The protein powder with water was good to get me to drink more water but it wasn't helping me feel full.  I was still starving.  Then after stopping that I've struggled to find something to replace it.  I still don't like eggs but am finding they're helping too when I add them in to my meals/snacks. 

And while I don't like it when the trainer is right I am glad he is.  Even though it takes me a minute or 2 to listen and hear him and then actually follow through.  While I will always dread those weigh in days and I know not to expect any weight loss on Friday I think I'm okay with it.  I will always want to see the numbers get lower and strive to do better.  But right now, I feel like there is hope for November to be a better month and hopefully then I'll meet that goal I wanted in September. 

Next goal is to drink a gallon of water everyday instead of occasionally. 

Still working on figuring out how to work the dinner thing out when it isn't a dairy meal so tonight I put about a 3 hour space in between the meat part of the meal and the dairy part of the meal.  Trying to cut back on dairy definitely has it's challenges.
