redgirl1974's Journal, 20 July 2017

Yesterday was an AMAZING day in the my world.. I managed to make my goal of under 40 net.Ended the day around 30-31..Im ecstatic! Made my step goal and clocked in around 14k and drank 3/4 of my water goal.I did not cheat at all..sorta. I had some watermelon and a few grapes bc I was hungry before bed, which was my fault. I need more protein and healthy fats. Woke up feeling less bloated- is that even a thing..but I did.. not so full in the middle. I want to attribute that to my rigorous fiber "therapy" all week. Had to add that back in.. wasn't feeling good with out it. I think when I started this new relationship, I was embarrassed to share my routine.. you know, the obsessive carb counting, the fiber,the waking up at 5am to go to the gym and the devotion to myself because I didn't want to seem selfish to my new boo or weird. I had told him about it and he mentioned to me last night that those were the things he likes about me.. How disciplined I am.. And we talked about how I stopped all together and I could tell he was kinda disappointed I had become a slacker. Looking back, I can definitely affirm that I was going thru depression. I mean who wouldn't. My life fell apart and in a matter of weeks I lost everything.. and then I gave up on myself. Deep. I know. BUT, I am smart enough to recognize it and correct it and Im back and happy that I didn't bring 20 lbs with me.. bc I could have. We talked a lot last night about the changes I want to make.More salads at home and when we go out. Less happy hour, and more meal planning. We are gonna shop together this weekend -something DH never did with me- and then we are gonna make a meal plan and do some prep for next week. These are all baby steps bc I truly wont be able to be where I want to be until we move in to my house mid August (waiting on DH to move out) but at least its a honest effort. New BF is a health nut like me.. and its going to work out great. Here is today's gym pic.. not to brag.. only to hold myself accountable.. Im 5 min short of the 30 I owe from Tuesday. Will get those in tomorrow.

Yeaaahhh, this is tough in relationships. When we were first getting to know each other, my now partner was really eager to go grocery shopping together. Overall though I went more to their eating and (non) exercise patterns and didn't get back to decent self care until they changed on their own. What is your fiber approach? I need tips!

Oh and congrats on net carb goal! I'm still figuring out how to do that, and yesterday was first day it felt really solid.

HCB,, its old.. I just had stopped using it for a while.. decided I liked it again LOL T8U9, I add a scoop of fiber to my coffee every morning.. the kind that dissolves and is tasteless.. AND if Im "stuck" some Miralax.. but only when needed. AND ALOT of water and leafy veggies.. green veggies with EVERYTHING.. and easy on the cheese. LOL

T8U9- log everything, plan ahead and follow a meal plan until you have it down.. that has always helped me
