Progress!
1. Logged almost 100% and lost weight!
2. 2 out of 3 work days without eating afterwards
3. Ate emotionally one day...so easy to turn to food as comfort...i allowed the energy vampires to get to me.
4. Decreased the drink with HFCS...
Week 5
1. Stay strong in eating well..tough week ahead
2. Work on getting rid of processed food down to 80% food.
3.40- 60 miles of training...headed to gulf for open water wetsuit swim in about an hour!
Onward!

    Today is my prep day. Got shrimp trout and chicken to cook because if I'm tired and there's no food in the refrigerator I will head to fast food. I half jokingly texted my college daughter that I was thinking of heading to fast food after a long day yesterday and she called and gave me my motivational words :choose life. It worked...

    I'm trying to recover from my weekend! I was set to maintenance calories and still went over. Add to that 5 hours both days in the car, it's no surprise I'm back up. Carb heavy funeral food, not enough water or activity. I've gotta step it up this week to reclaim the lower weight!

    8 glasses of water.
    Stay within calories.
    6500 steps every day.

    I'm only going to be able to go to the YMCA twice before I'm out of town again, this time for 8 days! It'll be hotel food and restaurants, but the first thing I put on my packing list is my tennis shoes and some workout gear. I'm gonna try to hit the treadmill at least 4 days next week.

    I had 3 weeks at the branch I lived on diet coke and letting myself have food as a reward. Let's just say it was a rough 3 weeks. I am back at the main office and I almost cried a few times I was so happy to be back. New goals give up the diet coke. Food is not a reward. Baby steps

    Okay, I'm back and ready to actually try this week.

    Goals:

    (1) Get in all my running workouts (I decided to do a half in early May instead of the full marathon I was planning, because I am not adequately trained, but am now focusing on a full 2 months later -- July 9).

    (2) Get in some swimming and see if I can get my bike out.

    (3) Try out new macros (I am experimenting with reducing carbs and increasing fat -- I was already eating moderate carbs naturally but am curious how I will feel reducing and now that I'm not trying to do a marathon in a couple of weeks I have some time to experiment). I suspect that the fun of experimenting might help me focus more.

    (4) Back to consistent logging!
