Day 30 - A New Week
For the weekend, I visited my family, and like many others, find that going home often involves reverting to old habits. The house was stocked with chips and other temptations of old and I allowed myself to indulge, but not the the same degree as before. When I weighed in, I found I may have added back a pound, but that's hardly a major setback.

Hey, you're doing great! Weight is a hard one, and you can't get it off until you make the commitment. My husband has recently lost a lot of weight through portion control and cutting back on sodas. It's all about keeping track, and committing to limit yourself.
ReplyDeleteI also suggest to people that if they want to lose weight, to become a vegetarian. I lost a ton of weight when I switched over, and I really had none to lose at the time. Although, you still have to fill the void with veggies and fruits, not junk food. These foods digest so much easier, and don't hang around like meat does in our systems.
Either way, sounds like you're on the right track.
Henry, I'm not an expert, by any means, but that menu is not enough food. You may run out of steam and then grab something for energy. It isn't just about portion sizes, it is also about how filling the portion is. How do you make it to lunch with that breakfast? That would be a mid morning snack. What about starting your day with protein and fiber? I'm so glad that your having success. That can be so motivating in itself. The almond snack sounds good. Aldi's has pretty good nuts for good prices. I'll check on your progress again. You've inspired me to consider/plan my menu too; although this kitchen remodel stinks. I don't know how you lived through it!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I am not one to starve myself, but I am feeling well on the diet, and energy level is good, when I get sleep, which is an unavoidable fact of life as an OB.
ReplyDeleteWhen I grab some nuts as a snack I am getting at least 2-300 calories. If I have had a decent meal and am still hungry, I fill up on raw veggies or fruit, eating until I feel satisfied.
The biggest thing I am not doing is eating high calorie snacks after dinner. That is cutting at least 1000 cal a day from my old diet, which I think accounts for most of the weight loss.
At present I am down almost 15 pounds and can see it and feel it.
Thanks for the concern though! ;-)
