My official Sunday weigh in didn't happen, because I forgot about it and drank a large glass of water when I took my morning meds followed by a Coke Zero half an hour later. Coke Zero is my morning coffee. But I'm a bad dieter who weighs nearly every day, so I'm just going to use Saturday's number, which means my unofficial loss this week is 1.8 pounds. Wahoo! I believe my total is now 12.8 pounds.
I'm having a hard time keeping up with Spark People. I don't have a smart phone or any of those nifty tablets that would allow me to record my meals in real time. So I carry around a little notepad and write all my foods down, intending to input the info when I get home. Which works if I don't forget my notepad at the office. Sigh. It's not so bad on normal weeks but last week was especially busy. I think I got everything entered in, eventually. Entering everything at the end of the day has one big drawback: it's very easy to go over the calorie limit when you aren't monitoring it through the day. To get around that I pretty much eat the same couple of things every day. So far, that's working, but I'm going to have to come up with more options at some point.
Sounds good. Almost 13lbs since you started is a BIG accomplishment. Recording your progress the old fashioned way, works just as well as computing. I noted that another blogger, Aging Disgracefully is also on a quest to shed pounds. She mentioned a recipe book called LOONEYSPOONS. I checked it out on Amazon. There are others by the same authors. So I got one that was cheaper featuring lowfat foods. I forget the name? I will let you know. Continued success. You are doing great. Hang in there. Take care. I have recently lost some weight just by going off a medication I've been on. Feels good.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great with your diet. You have got a great way of looking at things and that is the way to go. I have a tendency to bounce off the walls.
