One of those days...

It's one of those days that I'm struggling to make good choices. It's cold, my hormones have me cold one minute and hot the next, and I'm feeling lazy (but bored - isn't that weird?)
Feeling to icky to move and get some exercise, so the couch is my haven today.

Yesterday I started off fine, until lunch. I ate ham instead of my shake. Sodium-filled, albeit delicious ham.
And I know in my head that drinking my shake may not be what I "want" but I will "feel" better if I do.
Today is a new day. What mattes is the choices I make at the next meal.
Right?

I want to work all day and order out dinner, not making time to cook and clean it up. But you can't order good food around here, only pizza (or Chinese, which we rarely do). I don't use all those food delivery things, or I guess I could get something different, but still not what I want. I've been posting for a while now that I wish we had a local deli where you could stop in and grab a delicious and somewhat healthy sandwich, salad, or smoothie. (I think what I am thinking about probably actually exists in areas like Cali)
And I don't eat at Subway - just a weird thing about me.

So dinner tonight is a mystery right now. I'm trying to work and not think about it (yet I'm over here blogging AND thinking about it, lol)

Back to work!

My nemisis

I am failing miserably at this diet thing... I just want to look better and feel better and be healthy. The pandemic did me in...I'm serious. Suddenly I was no longer alone in the house, which was nice, but it turned me from getting my steps in while watching tv, and trying a new on-demand exercise routine to sitting. Mr. G working in the other room has me more self conscious about doing any of those things that I used to. And yes, that's a ME problem. Then there was the community panic of "Stores are going to run out of food!" So we were buying anything we could find in anticipation for empty shelves. (Now we know the only shelves that went empty were toilet paper, paper towels, I'm hearing baby formula, and cat food. Then breakfast sandwiches-which was odd.) But I went from buying all fresh veggies and proteins to whatever I could find. I still don't eat frozen chicken nuggets or strips, and I do make frozen fresh chicken. BUT my eating habits went crazy. I ...

Not For Me

Yeah, I'm convinced that intermittent fasting is not for me. It works great for some people, but just like the keto diet, it isn't for me. Next week I'll go back to what I was doing before the Pandemic hit. My goal will be 2lbs a week, and in about a year I will hit my long term goal. I enjoyed what I was doing before. Fasting just confused me, since I was used to a couple small meals spaced out. It is great for some people, just not for me. (plus coffee on an empty stomach didn't work so well for me) If you have any lower carb and lower calorie recipes you love, send them my way! I am always looking for something to make for dinner and love a good muffin or cupcake that won't wreck my calorie count for the day! I'll update you next week as to how getting back at it is going...

baby steps

I haven't necessarily been following my healthy eating plan the last few weeks (which puts me about 3 weeks behind in my year plan) but today I chose to make a protein shake for lunch like I had planned instead of ordering fast food like Mr. G suggested. (granted, that fast food would've tasted yummy...lol) Baby steps, right?
