TheKarenS's Journal, 05 January 2017

Well, that's discouraging. I was really hoping to be under 170.

I just got back from a trip. It was my first trip after I started back on my diet. It was difficult, but I think I did fairly well on my eating, and I did great as far as exercise. I walked each morning, and I walked one night before bed. I also walked extra in the airport instead of using the moving sidewalk. I declined the airplane snack 3 out of 4 times. ;)

Upon review of my eating, I seem to be making excuses to eat a few carbs and they have a much greater impact that I anticipate. For example, one day I was over on calories by about 300, but I was over on carbs by about 30. if I had skipped the 2 spring rolls and the 15 chips, I would've been on target for calories, and under on carbs.

It's helping to have accountability with Terry. Just knowing that I have to tell someone what I'll be eating does make me stronger.

I think my best tool is my food log. I can see where the carbs and calories come from and then make better informed choices whether to eat something or not.

It's a battle to avoid carb creep, give it a gram and it wants to take an ounce.

Watching the pie chart to enter my food B4 I eat really helps me keep on track.
