Well, bleah. After losing steadily for two months, I've put three pounds back on. And I know why: I got complacent. This week I didn't follow my 5+2/intermittent fast way of eating, I didn't count my calories accurately, I didn't observe my 8-hour eating window, and I ate high-calorie or high-carb food because I wanted to please people I love who had made delicious goodies.


So:
1. With great regret, I hereby give up my beloved morning coffee until I reach my goal weight. I had been drinking it black, but that turned out to be too hard on my stomach, so I started putting milk or half-and-half or coconut milk in my coffee in the mornings. That blows the 8-hour eating window wide open. So: The rest of this week, no coffee until after 10:00am. Next week, no coffee until 10:30. And so on until I'm having my first coffee at noon. I'll find something else to drink in the mornings - maybe ginger tea?



2. I recommit myself to meal planning and packing lunch and snacks. I know I can create satisfying meals and snacks that are portable and don't break the calorie bank -- I've done it before -- I just got lazy. Also I get a little bit of static from my husband, who thinks we have too much food in the pantry (he's right -- we do!). I can fix this by including him in the meal planning and explaining my reasons for wanting to buy the foods I have in mind.


(Tangentially: Do any of you girls, or guys for that matter, get tired of always having to *explain* why you want what you want to your better half? I know I do! :) But if that's what my wonderful hubby needs to feel comfortable with food purchases, or any purchases for that matter, I hereby declare that I will suck it up and be prepared with my best attempt at a logical explanation for everything, starting with the answer to the question, "What problem are you trying to solve?", which is always the first thing out of his mouth. He's an engineer. Can you tell? :) )
