So its evident that tracking does help point out to me where I am going wrong... I did not want to add last nights calories in. I did not eat anything unhealthy for dinner, but where I went wrong was that I had a second turkey sloppy joe... and of course that meant that my nightly snack would then set me over my daily calorie intake.. So I think that I am great up until dinner time and then I either eat too much at dinner, or I eat too much at night.
This is very disappointing as I went over my calorie intake by about 500 last night. It sucks because I had alot of activity yesterday. I took Noah to the park in the morning, did some light boxing, went through alot of things in the guest room, cleaned like crazy, and went for a nightly walk.
As I have been on this journey, I have been making my own plans with a combination of different programs. Today I figured out about how many weight watcher points I get, and I am going to try to figure that in as well. Its just one more thing to hold me accountable. Soon I will figure out what works for me, and if not I am going to have some testing done, to figure out what is preventing me from succeeding.
The good thing is that I have no issues with junk foods like most people do, that is not my weakness. My weakness appears to just be eating too much at night. Even of the good stuff. I am going to work on finding things that fill me up more, and things to keep my mind busy at night, especially while I am watching tv, and especially tonight during Biggest Loser. Ironically, I eat more during this show than any other show. AND this is the show that is the most inspiring to me... I think it is because they bring up so many emotions during this show...
Anyway that is enough for today.. I am going to brush off yesterday and try to do better today.. I do not think I have as much energy as yesterday because I was woke up early to loud noises and strong scents coming in my windows... and my allergies are going crazy.. but I WILL try to do as much as I can!!
Thanks for listening,
Amanda

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you for many things. You have not only looked at yourself you have taken accountability for your actions ;) You have to always always track, sucks but if you don't then you will have the over eating that you are trying to avoid. I hate to track sometimes, and when I do it just makes me mad because I am like WTH I want more food damn it, but at the end of the day when I know I stayed under my points or at my points I feel like I just scored a victory. It is so hard to do this but it is damn sure not impossible :) And you are not alone because we are doing this together no matter what the map says :) <3 V!
