I have kind of been spinning out of control these last few days. Last week I was determined to eat right, and drop a few lbs. Well, Tuesday I had one of those "bottomless pit" kind of days. Maybe it was stress? I dunno.
Then Thursday was the same kind of day.
Add on top of that, my son got his first job. I am now adjusting to only cooking dinner for me and my husband to eat. I'm terrible at that. If it's not for all of us, I don't bother, sadly. Just something I have to adjust to.
Then Saturday we were out Christmas shopping and didn't stop to eat, by the time we were done, I was HUNGRY and cranky... (Hangry can't even describe what I was feeling!)
We had to get home so there was no time for a sit down meal, and we don't really do fast food anymore (I am to the point that none of it sounds appetizing to me except for the occasional Arbys - while I drool over McD's breakfast sandwiches on their commercials, I can't bring myself to buy one. It's been almost 2 years now since I ate anything from there - or any fast food place besides Arbys or Sheetz - I hate to break that for a breakfast sandwich! lol...)

Tomorrow I have to get back at it. No excuses...

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?
