I am not feeling so good today. I know why... I've been stress eating and drinking and it has caught up with me today. Then I got on the scale... 210! NO JOKE! I knew it would be high, but not THAT high. I thought maybe 205. But I should've known because I am VERY swollen from late night salty snacks, margaritas, and flat out stress. So, irregardless of what my final diet decision is, I need to get on some sort of track. So, today is going to be LOTS of water, vitamins, and lower carb and reasonable cals. No junk food, salty or sugary snacks, and no alcohol. I am thinking about going back to food journaling for a while. Thinking of using a website if I can find one. I've heard of several. Any recommendations? I would like a program where I can put in the foods I eat most often and it will remember it for me. I did it all myself with pencil and paper, but it would be nice to have a program if possible.
I will once again go back to 'official' weigh-ins on Sundays. After seeing that 210 this AM, I know I've got to get it in gear. Yes, I know that almost all of it is water, but I have to do something. I've given myself about a week off, so now it's time to get back to work. I may not have a concrete plan, but I want to eat better and find some sort of exercise to fit in. I can only do the best I can, ya know? And after a break, I feel more ready to give it a go. So, as I said, starting today, I'm going to get back on the wagon. I will weigh-in Sunday. And if I have time, I will post my 'before' pics. I hope to do a progress pic when I hit 20lbs. Hopefully it won't take me long to get back to that!
Not going to make this long since my last couple of posts have been long. Thank you to all you ladies for being supportive, offering suggestions, and well... just reading. I think I will pull out of this slump just fine!
I really love Sparkpeople.com They give you the total breakdown of nutrition and calories. I plan my meals throughout the week and spark lets you print it out so you can have a guide throughout the day of what what you're suppose to eat and not stray away from plan. The site also lets you make a page for youself, post pictures, your progess and interact with other members. It's free.
ReplyDeleteyou should check it out :)
Free and it allows you to save the common foods you use. Also, if you program the protien, fat, and carbs it will show % of each, and if one is too high.
ReplyDeleteAlso tracks exercise calories. I LOVED IT when I lost my last 20 pounds..

Hang in there! It really sucks when you feel like you've been set back. Just keep in mind that there may be a lot of water weight from all the sodium & alcohol & once you flush that from your system, you'll be feeling a lot better!
