I'm sure you've heard of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). That's what I'm going for these days. No complicated formulas or graphing of my progress. I actually haven't even stepped on a scale yet. It derailed me so much last time that for now I am just focusing on making healthy choices.
Remember a few weeks ago when I said that I would be posting more often even if some posts simply said something like, "I did well today?" Well today is one of those days. I don't have anything particularly ground breaking or entertaining to share. But it does mark the first day of week number 3 of eating within a daily calorie amount...and it is still going well.
Observations this far:
Things that I need to keep an eye on: Getting bored of the same foods - I need to look for some creative and simple additions to the menu. Also, I still need to drink more water. I have been doing better, but still not great.
Things that have been going better than anticipated: I haven't been overly hungry or having overwhelming cravings for breads and potatoes as much as I have in the past.
Overeating triggers: lack of planning and I found that when I get angry, I want to eat. Have been controlling it, but have noticed it.
Lifesavers: Subway, spinach salads with strawberries, the George Foreman Grill, new found love of Salmon, and replacing salt with Mrs. Dash.
I think that's all I've got for today folks. Still trying to do my best one day at a time!
