Berly1023's Journal, 03 May 2018

Well back down at least. I have no clue why I gained. I am kinda like that though which is why I hate getting on the scale. It can get me so discouraged. I was a little bit bummed when I gained but instead of giving up I just tried to put it out of my head. Just kept trying to reign in my eating habits. I am getting better. Finding my plate full of more veggies and less carbs. My late night snacking seems to be under control, I have basically talked myself out of it everyday this week.I have brought healthy snacks to work to help with my desk munching. And... I stay outta the break room when I can so I don't eat to much crap. I have cut down on my portion sizes sorta. I make up for it by adding large amounts of spinach or kale so it looks like I have a lot. One day I made some jasmine rice and I burned half the pot, so I only had a serving size cause I could only salvage the very middle. Figured it was a sign. I know dinner and my serving sizes are a big problem. I tend to pile to much on the plate. I love to cook and cooking for one is a bit hard. Always seems to be more than I need. I think I used to portion it out and put some in the freezer for lunches. That way I wouldn't eat 3 servings. I think I am on my way. Trying to move around a little more. Spring is finally here and I am getting my garden together. I am setting goals to just get up and move around which at my present weight and physical condition is exercise. My FitBit broke so I can't track my step progress anymore. I was improving too. I can't afford another one but my friend wants to upgrade to the latest version and she is going to give me hers. I had mine for 4 years it was a gift from a friend. She helped me get started on the last weight loss journey. She said she recognized that I was not a very competitive person. That I was self competitive and that the fitbit would help me. And she was right. I do miss that little gadget. I am almost wanting to get back to the gym but I have reservations. I am working my way there though. Hopefully soon I will be back to my friday night dates with Gym, that hot sweaty, sexy thing.

Best advice is to buy a scale and measure everything in grams.

You describe more than a couple very important wins there. 1. You kept working your plan, persevering through a time where you were not getting the results you wanted. 2. you are replacing carbs with veggies. 3. You are getting on top of your late night snacking and several others. You are simply doing great! Those things you talk about are not trivial things. You recognize specific things that needed a change and you are taking action. Be very proud of yourself for that and keep it up. Keep making those good decisions and the wins will keep coming. Keep the faith cuz you gots this!
