How is everyone doing? I know the group is still in the early stages, and a lot of us are trying to be more habitual with our food diary, or we've been using it inconsistently and are wanting to be more consistent.
I'm currently at a 6 day streak. I've been consistent with logging my food after each meal, rather than trying to remember what I ate and logging it later. Because I'm tracking my food now I'm more likely to resist the temptation to eat something I shouldn't be eating. Today, I will admit I had a chocolate bar, but I ran 9 miles today and I finished the day with 831 calories remaining.
What I would like to pay closer attention to, now that we are getting the weekly digest emailed to us (the last time I used MFP this wasn't a feature), I need to eat more protein. My carb intake is high and my protein intake is low. So I'm going to try to focus more on foods that are higher in protein.
Week 1: Consistency with food tracking
Week 2 Goal: add foods higher in protein
The other thing I'm being pretty consistent with is the Intermittent Fasting technique. I allow myself an 8 hour window to eat my meals and then fast for the remaining 16. This helps me control those late night temptations to grab some chips or crackers or a bowl of cereal before bed.
Let the group know what your goals are for this week.

I’m still in my first week of being back. I thought it would be really tough but I’m finding it’s not that bad. I need to remember to take it day by day and I know it will be a slow and steady process. My goal for this week is to not give up.
Keep up the good work everyone!2 -
