No question but that faithful recording of caloric consumption keeps me on track. My goal is an average of 1500 per day, and my current average for the months of September, November and December (to date) is 1495. This keeps me at a 1# per week loss ratio as I move from where I am toward my 185# goal.
Thought I could noodle it after the first month, which is why October is not on the record - and why October was less than equal to the goal. My plan is to keep this up until my next sit-down with the Doc (Feb 20), and then start to moderate a little.
The next two weeks will be the toughest, because that big bad Sugar is staring me in the face all the way through Hannukah, Christmas and the New Year weekend. My sister will be sending her usual box of Rugelach, and Patty Ann is already up to her elbows in chocolate-coated pretzels, walnuts and what have you. I can handle the potatoes, roast beef and goose; it's the pastry and the candies that do me in every time.
Here we go!!!
Happy Hannukah, Blessed Christmas and Healthy New Year to one and all.
