Everyday Systems

So far this week has proved unsuccessful and I’m at the top end of where I like to be weight wise. I’d like to get this system running consistently before any more holiday shenanigans!

Hang in there, Tracey! Tomorrow is a new day

Thanks, Merry! Today is a new day! I appreciate the encouragement:)

If there were shenanigans, join the human race! How are you doing? You can tell us. It's nothing most of us haven't done, too.

Going to start checking in!
I’m being tempted by the Keto diet and all it’s promises!!!
I also restarted with Habitcal.

I’m within in 3-4 pounds of my preferred maintenance. I’m not sure how to track my progress- BMI, weight or compliance...

Today is greenish (because I did some virtual plating at lunch).

B- Coffee protein coconut oil protein drink (I can’t eat anything heavy for breakfast)
L- green protein smoothie with almond butter and cacao nibs for topping, a few carrots and sun butter and crackers, 1/4 of a kind bar (this was probably truly more than a plate)..I was stuffed
D- chicken sausage, sweet potatoes, glass of wine, 1/4 of kind bar- not really hungry but I wanted to eat with my family,

Exercise: run, 10 minute core and 10 minute Brazilian butt lift

Today was a fail of the virtual plating type/I had to pick up my daughter in the middle of a dinner that was less than desirable!!!

I’m not sure what I ate for dinner equaled a plate but I did not eat in a fashion that was in line with no s.

calling it a fail

B- coffee protien coconut oil drink, granola bar
L- smoothie with lots of fixings; bowl of crackers, part of a bar
D- salad, turkey, part of protein bar, almonds and a few other bites of my kids’ plates

Long run, walked 2 miles, core workout

Hi, Tracey!

How much would you be willing to change your eating to get that 3-4 lbs.? And is it the only reason you'd change your habits?

Despite the research on the use of a scale, I have never been able to change my eating to accommodate the scale in any sane way. I have changed it because it's either been obvious I was eating too much- rarely getting hungry or eating until way too full- or I became convinced that certain foods should play a smaller role. The weight has inched down, but it was a side effect. I can't say I don't enjoy weighing less, but I would be an abject failure if I was forcing myself to eat just to stay the same weight, meaning I wouldn't be able to do it! I suspect I'll be at a similar weight in June when I weigh again, but I could be wrong. My pants could help tell, but I always already know I've been overeating before my clothes tell me.
