I figured out something about myself. I jump in both feet running and then start to lose sight of my goal until I look at what I am doing and then I take this big jump back to the line and get back on track. It's not a Monday thing just a thing. I think it's more of a reflect (look back) thing. Tracking does make it easier to think back and sometimes it is sooner than looking back. Sat when I looked at the back of the trail mix I was eating and it said 19 servings at 120 each and I then thought 1/2 the bag would be about a full days calories. I want to find the spark article about just because you can reach the goal can you maintain it.
I was rethinking a few things over the weekend. 1 was about my book and leading a support group. Why isn't my program working on me? I will tell you why, because I am the worst student. I think I can tweek it to fit my needs.
Tweek includes
1. I don't really need to track because I have this all under control.
2. I will workout later.
3. Don't worry I still have time to get my goal completed.
4. I am so close to goal all I need to do is skate along and it will just happen.
5. It's only a couple of pounds, I have lost them before and I can do it again.
Why do I lose touch with I'm tired of this yo-yo thing. Maybe there is just a pill or a new workout tape.
There is no pill to maintain good health. If the pill worked would there be a side effect in 10 years?
I think I need to do a blog about do you need cheese on everything if you live in WI.
So what do I want to do from here.
Have you ever had someone say you just don't know what it is good. Maybe you do know what is good and that's why you don't eat it.
One of the thing I did over the weekend is to weigh 2oz. of cheese. I love cheese. I love cheese more than steak. What I did was weigh it out in a small plastic container that I have more than 1 of and there was a mark on the side of the container where 2 OZ is. The full container would be 4 oz. Yes I put it on my food scale .
So it's another day and I had to start it off with a good breakfast 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, a can of mushrooms and salsa. I need to log this on sparks. Jillian is a big one for more proteins. Maybe she knows something. She lives it so I am going to try it. The question I ask is how long will this keep me full so I can get some work done without thinking about food and what am I planning for the rest of the day.
Why do I put the whole egg in and not just all egg whites. I want you to look up eggs and find what good the yoke does for the body. My daughter had a health teacher that believed there is no reason for yokes so I sent her the article so I know it is out there. I can look it up for you if you e-mail me. My goal is to get you to think.
Have a great day. track your food this week. Do you change what you eat when you have to write it down?
