FRUSTRATED

I keep getting on the scale and it doesn't move. Granted, I ate bad(ly) for bout a month and am still struggling with getting on track. It would appear I need to track my food intake to see what the hell's missing in this equation.

Eating too much crap still? Not eating enough food? Not getting enough veggies? Not getting enough water? Not sleeping enough? I am guilty of all these.

Breakfast-protein shake: choc. prot. powder, maca powder, coconut milk, frozen organic strawberries

Lunch-salad: romaine, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, yellow & red peppers, red onions, carrots, tomatoes, slivered dry roasted almonds, boiled egg, chick peas, spicy 'mexican' shredded cheese, green olives, organic lemon/garlic/mustard/olive oil dressing

Snacks-kiwi, banana

Dinner-happy cow meatloaf, steamed cauliflower w/cheese, sour cream baked w/crumbs on top.

Yea, I read some where that losing weight is about 80% diet and 20% exercise. Exercise is important, but tracking your food intake and making sure your food intake is nutritionally dense is important (not all calories are equal). Certain foods do help us lose better. Lean protein and high fiber foods help us lose fat. Studies show we also underestimate the amount of food we eat by 30% or more when we don't track. All the "bites, licks and tastes" can add up. You get your diet on track, you will lose. So get to it, you can do it! consistency is key in weight loss.

Yeah, I got to thinking about when I lost all the initial weight before the new year and what was different. I kept track of what i ate and was very strict about what I ate and allowed for a cheat day on the weekend. It's gotten out of hand, so back to the basics!
