Point is, keep up the good work! And reading your log today served as a little extra inspiration for me!

Thanks and good luck!

At least I am inspiring someone LOL!

We try to get everything to change right away. If you want things to go as fast as possible you need to consider logging your current food intake into a program so that you can see your macros and habits.

HI!! Semper FI! Hoooaaahh and all that. I have been reading your log. Good stuff. Yep bit off more than I can chew. I have a problem with that LOL! I have a new program yay! My natural habits when I am trying to eat right, meaning eat well but not like count everything? I measure things so I know, habit now and all. My macros run about 40 carb/30 pro/30fat. And that is really really comfy for me. It is the upping the protein that zaps my resolve. I am going to leave well enough alone!

I finally quit weighing myself daily a few days after Halloween. I didn't like what I weighed and I was depressed and pissed at how hard I felt I had been working for nothing. I ate about 20 mini candy bars that were lying around the lunch room that day. After that I didn't weigh myself for a month or count any food. I just tried to focus on eating the right foods and sort of healing those body self-hatred feelings.

I've been tracking closely over the last few months, but still only weighing once a month.

That seems the best way for me too. STAY AWAY FROM THE SCALE!
I was tracking once a week. No pressure, just the facts ma'am and I was really fine with that.

I just wanted everything to hurry up ya know?

Thanks for the encouragment. It was a blah day today.

GOOD NEWS! My son for therapy NEEDS to workout for 2 years after chemo. SOOOO DH calls me at the gym ( bad timing hon) and says he thinks we might want to go ahead and buy that gym now instead of later. WOO HOOO am I psychic or what LOL!

Now I have to make sure I know what I wanttttt!
