View SAXONHARP's food & exercise for this day
It has been a busy few days. Wednesday through Thursday and mother and brother in law came into town to help my husband with his BBQ competition. We had a great time. I really love my in laws.
Postive things that happened during this time:
*One night we went out to dinner and I really was not hungry so i just ordered a small salad (without crazy toppings). We went to a Mexican resturant and nothing looked good to me....everything was fried and I felt no deprivation at all
*I logged and had green checks for 4 days.
*My easter candy challange went well. I went 3 days without the treats and then I wanted some and I had just a little. I did not binge on it.
Things to improve on:
I have an iphone now. there is no reason I could not have logged my food while I was out and about. Yes every once in a while you have to give yourself a break and not log BUT I have not logged consistantly for a week in a LONG time....like 8 months. I just just need to do it.
This might be why I gained 1 pound this week VS. losing a pound.
I really want to log ALL my food this week. that is my goal. When I log while I eat I make better food choices. I am not beating myself up...really I am not. I am just learning and hopefully those pounds will come off again.

I have a "smart phone" - not an iPhone but I can use the mobile CK tool, and I do. That was a huge part of helping me reach my marathon-time weight goal, and I'm sure it will continue to be a huge part of keeping me on track. I say get that mobile app and USE IT!!

WAY TO GO! Awesome work, you have willpower & mindfulness of steel. So cool that you did not feel deprived at the Mexican restaurant. As for the logging, at least you'll know it's not not your "fault" when you maintain or even gain in a particular week. I love to blame hormones when that happens, LOL!

I use my net diary on my iphone, it has a good database.
How did the competition go?
