Well, March was reasonably successful, with a compliance rate of about 80% for N days.
Ended the month at the bottom of my current weight range, which was pleasing.
Mar weight - 142 - 144.
Also starting to regain my fitness after a break last year.
Thurs April 1 - failure. Had supper - b'fast was small & lacking protein, due to lack of planning on my part. Only had a small meal as had a busier than normal day. Also hungry because of walking for 21/2 hours up and down in the local bush with my hiking group.
Fri 2 - success
Sat 3 - 3 meals sort of - dinner was extended, I felt too tired to cook a proper meal, didn't have anything handy, eventually put on something easy but sometime after I finished eating I realised that I felt like I had eaten a bit too much. So much easier to judge things when I dish out a proper meal all at once. However, not a failure, but a learning experience.
Sun - 4 - several small meals due to not feeling well
Mon 5 -success
Tues 6 - failure -eating to make me feel better instead of hunger, although started the day hungrier than usual
Wed 7 - failure, also eating more than needed & having a rest day
Thurs 8, Fri 9 - success. Walk in the bush with friendship group in beautiful Autumn weather
Sat 10 - 3 meals
Sun11 - 2 proper meals, a bit of grazing for the 3rd
Mon 12, Tues 13, Wed 14, Thurs 15, Fri 16 - success
sat 17, sun 18 - 3 meals
Mon 19, Tues 20 - success
Wed 21 - success - I woke up hungrier than the previous 2 days, so had larger meals. Also allowed myself seconds for dinner - that's the sort of seconds I have when I tell myself if my first go doesn't feel enough, I will dish myself out a bit more of what I've cooked for dinner. It is pre-planned, not random grazing, so I still count it as a success as long as I don't feel like I have eaten too much. I have found that trying to ignore hungrier days just backfires.
Thurs 22 - success - walked with walking group am, largish breakfast after, also substantial lunch so dinner was quite late due to lack of hunger & smaller than usual.
Fri 23 - success
Sat 24, Sun 25 - 3 meals
Mon 26, Tues 27, Wed 28, Thurs 29, Fri 30 - success
Three meals a day - not too little not too much, but just right
