Today is Day 4 of being back on my diet after a month-or-so away. On the whole, I'm strong and focused on my path and goals. I've had a couple of stray thoughts about an unhealthy food but was able to quickly convince myself that I didn't really want it. Those thoughts are still scary though!
I've been tracking my food every day for the past 10 months, so I know portions and nutrient counts pretty well. Lately, I've been eating right but not tracking it. I'm going to see how I do with that, because I think someday - after I've reached my goal weight - I'm not going to want to track my food every day. So I am testing the waters now to see if this WOE really can be a lifestyle for me.
So, I have no idea how many carbs I've been having, but I know it's low, because I haven't been snacking and only having two healthy meals a day. I think I will eat less carbs by not tracking, because I won't be eating extra to fulfill the amount I'm allowed. I think my eating will be more natural too, because I'll be focusing more on my body's cues, rather than what the numbers for the day say.
We did the food shopping tonight. I love it when the kitchen is stocked with food, because I love to eat! That is part of the reason why I must eat healthy ;-)
I'm looking forward to weighing in on Sunday morning which is the one week mark. I don't typically weigh that often, but at this point, I think I need the encouragement of seeing a loss on the scale to keep me going.
Once I'm comfortably settled into my diet again, I'm going to work on getting to the gym. I can't wait to begin working out again!
