16 March 2019 - Diet Diary - Well, finally got the computer back online. Much easier to keep up.

Unfortunately, I lost my mind completely the last 2 days. Today, I think I did stop short of 1500, although I won't swear to that. Yesterday, I won't even venture a guess. It was one of those "if I touch it, I'm gonna eat it" days. Hopefully, having regained (mostly, I think) consciousness, I think it is passed. Don't know for sure what the trigger was, suspect it was in part because I had a weight bounce after my under 1000 calorie day. I was a little frustrated by that and it may have set off my little binge.

I also have been less than industrious since Wednesday, have not worked on my cabinet project at all. I did do some other chores today, kitchen cleaning and organizing stuff as well as putting a pan of vegis in the oven to roast and a crockpot "Irish" meal, corned beef, carrots, potatoes, green beans and cabbage. It was very tasty, have lots of leftovers however. Not a lot of beef, bought just over 2 pound brisket but put in a full head of cabbage and over a pound of baby carrots.

Hope to have a better report tomorrow. Must log food as I go until I'm sure I'm back on track. When I get this way, seeing the record of what I've eaten helps keep me from going too far. Yesterday, put down breakfast then nothing else until evening at which point I didn't even try to recreate the day. When I'm balanced, I can do big portions of the day tracking in my head, logging later but when I'm off, I tend to discount a lot of stuff. This is precisely why I realize I will never be fully independent of the need to monitor my intake.
Well, until tomorrow, off to duct tape my mouth shut. (jk)
