I'm not food pyramiding.
I'm not obsessing.
But I am tracking my food on SparkPeople again. Having to write down what I ate makes me think twice before I put something in my mouth, and that is good. It helps me make better decisions, I think.
I started today out strong. There was some turkey sausage, egg white, tea, and grapefruit juice. Then there was running errands after church, and to keep from eating unhealthy food out, I waited until I got home after 2:00 to eat lunch. Bad move. I was so hungry I reached for a bowl of cereal (a relatively healthy pumpkin/flax granola, but I grabbed a big bowl, of course...) and chowed down. I had a pudding cup then, too.
Then I had another pudding cup.
And another.
And another, because those things are so small, you know!
Yeah, I wouldn't call that a good plan. I didn't plan my meals today, and I can tell!
At day's end, though, I still didn't end up with too many calories, though I was tempted just to call today a wash and not enter my lunch and dinner into SP. But I am working on disciplining myself this year, and entering food when I don't want to seems to be part of self-discipline. So I did it. =D
So... 2 days into the new year, 2 days tracked on SparkPeople, and 2 days between 1200-1300 calories.
I'm headed to Texas on Friday for a little over 2 weeks, so we'll have to see what happens while I'm gone. My plan when I get back is to join The Ridge and start working out early mornings, and weighing myself there so I can get a consistent measurement. Right now our scale is packed away, so even if I wanted to use it I couldn't. So... for the time being I'm just going to practice making good (or, um, at least disciplining myself to record the not-so-good) choices when it comes to food.
