2/08/2018 Diet Diary - everyone welcome
Today was senior exercise and water exercise day. An hour each. Didn't work outside too long today as temps are UP. Had to put up my big umbrella to shade the window I'm working on as it was impossible to work on it with the sun shining on it. Down side of being a non-traditional sleeper, not being up in the morning early enough to get the cooler outdoor time or the shady time on the window. Should be OK for paint tomorrow though.
Came in around 1200 today, over goal no thanks to a horrid product, on the mark down shelf, "Donut Shop Cereal". Not only was it cheap, it is sweet and crunchy, just the thing for a "snack attack". Thank goodness it is only 120 calories per cup, not bad for cereal in general but it sure doesn't take long to down a cup of the stuff. Another item that needs to be avoided in the future. Not really a problem, at just $1 for a box, I gave into the temptation to buy it but I wouldn't buy it at regular cereal price.
Decided to see how tomorrow goes. If these munchies moments don't stop, will need to reassess my program. Some edibles are much more enticing for this type of slips, those items may have to go on a "no buy" list. Odd, I love ice cream and I have ice cream in the freezer, in 4 oz. containers but I have not had one for at least 3 weeks. Maybe the crunch is part of the appeal, I do NOT buy potato chips when I'm cutting calories. Potato chips are an almost irresistible force once they get in the house. Need to add some more items to that avoidance list.
Goal: consume between 1100 and 1200 calories a day indefinitely. Goal weight 200 lbs. 100+ lost already.
Breakfast
050 blueberries
100 sunflower seeds
100 crackers
Lunch
150 PB sandwich on round
Dinner
150 salad
050 fish crackers
100 pita
Exercise
Goal: 200 steps and 1000 curls w/ 5 lbs/hand
Did: rest day
I've been rewarding myself with little snacks, but it is a dangerous precedence that is easy to overdo. Those things are designed to deny nutrition so your remain hungry after eating them, including crackers and bread. I need to focus more on greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds/nuts. I should eat more flax seeds and less PB, peanuts, and sunflower seeds. Instead of bread, I should eat potatoes, pasta, and rice...all lower calorie than bread per gram.
Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.
Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
