I compared my performance today with last Monday's and I did a lot better. I admit that I don't want to find out the true caloric intake of my biscottis, but I know that I did eat less today than last Monday. I did walk, and mowed the entire lawn. I'm feeling a bit sad today, but I'm sure that I'll be better tomorrow. It just happens. I did not eat lunch and dinner at the kitchen table, but at the dinner table. Technically I didn't adhere to the rules, but I felt I needed a treat after the lawn.

6 a.m.Lessons learned from last week, Sunday, May 26 through Saturday, June 1.
1.) Track my caloric intake by writing before I eat. The most impactful example came when I ate 7 cups of caramel corn, thinking that the light taste made for a light snack. It was 220 calories a cup!
2.) Stay away from trigger foods. There are some foods, mostly snack foods, that do not satisfy me with only one serving. All they do is make me want more. I already know that cheese crackers, donuts, certain types of chips are my trigger foods. I just have to keep on the look-out for others and stay away from them.
3.) Eat and only eat at the table and away from the TV. TV watching sets off a non-stop pattern of mindless eating. When I eat at the table, I eat less and am better able to adhere to my food plan.
4.) For now, my goal is consistency, not performance. Regarding my diet, my goal is to adhere to 1200 calories. When I'm comfortable with that, I'll work on improving the content of those calories. Of course, I'm doing that now, but I'll be better able to do that when I form a consistent pattern of limiting my calories to 1200. Regarding my exercise, I am concentrating on time (150 minutes a week) not distance or speed.

Morning: I had a flare-up of cellulitis on Thursday night, May 30, so I spent all day yesterday in front of the TV. I did not keep track of my eating, but I noticed that I ate no real fruits or vegetables. I wanted the bread, pasta, cheese, beef and chicken. Last night I felt that I needed a total transformation, not this "leaning into" or "a gradual change." But then again, drastic change from one lifestyle to another is not going to allow me to feel normal, so I'm sticking with the gradual change.
Day seven of eating all lunches and five of seven dinners at the kitchen table: NOT completed.
I squated only twice; once for 55, another for 45. My goal was for three times.
I'll maintain same goals for next week, including walking for a total of 150 minutes. Right now the aim is for consistency not performance.
I'm going to add a new goal: Eat only and only in the kitchen. Even snacks.
6:30 p.m. I had a very good day. I did eat one snack, lunch and dinner at the kitchen table. I did eat a cup of soup on the dinner table, but at least I was at the table. I just need to think consistency and worry about performance later.

Another lesson learned: I get hungry about 3:30 or 4, but I think it's too early for dinner. The thought of a piece of fruit just doesn't cut it, so I end up eating a sandwich or something as heavy. Then I try to convince myself that my snack was really dinner, so I won't eat again. But I do and then I the pattern of overeating for the evening begins. I know myself. I won't be satisfied with fruit, so why try. On second thought, if I had a piece of hard cheese, I might be satisfied with that and an apple. Also, I'm eating these snacks in front of the TV, contributing to the mindless eating. So today, I'm going to eat a smart snack, but at the kitchen table and eat dinner at 6:30. I feel anxious about those plans, but when I think about everything else I've done, I know that this plan will become a lifestyle.
Also, I have about 45 minutes left on my walking schedule, but the cellulitis has kicked in. I hope I feel better this afternoon and will try to work that in. At least, I have tomorrow to do it if I don't feel good today. I could go, but forget about speed and just do it. I'll see how I feel throughout the day.
Day 4 of eating all lunches and five of seven dinners at the kitchen table: Yes on lunch, no on dinner.

Another lesson learned. Snack crackers trigger uncontrolled eating. I ate a whole box of Cheez Nips for a whopping 1300, 100 calories more than my daily allowance of 1200. I already feel that donuts, cookies, cake, etc. do nothing for me but make me want more so I can put snack crackers in that category. I have to either refrain from buying a box or find a single serving. I even tried to put the box way up on the shelf, but then used the broom to get at it. Oh, well lesson learned. It will be okay, but only if I don't let that happen again.
