Hello all! Finally back on here after about an 8 month absence... (What can I say, I got a new gf, then got all happy and lazy lol). Im looking to get back on track, but Im gonna try taking baby steps instead of diving in head first this time. So this this week, I have started tracking my calories, and have started making a big effort to cut Mountain Dew out of my life....its been a great and delicious friend for many years, but its time to say goodbye! At this point Im trying to at minimum to cut down to one a day, also allowing my self a couple of cups of coffee a day (but have stopped adding sugar). Hopefully after a couple weeks I can cut down on the coffee and drop the Dew (I have learned that quitting caffine cold turkey gives me horrible and strangely disturbing nightmares, lol).
Another issue Im trying to deal with is eating at work. Every day someone has ordered a bunch of food for meetings and whatnot, and there are always leftovers available at lunch... While Ive still been eating some of the free lunches, Im trying to be more conscious of what I take... Panera was easy yesterday, sandwich and salad, but today we had raising canes in the office... I had some chicken fingers but stayed away from the fries and sweet tea. Ive also hidden some instant oatmeal in my desk for hunger emergencies as opposed to eating snickers out of the vending machine. Like I said, baby steps!
Anyway, hello everyone, feel free to add me!
