Husband had surgery on Monday and have bronchitis, so have been stress eating. Try one to get back on track logging food. Can't exercise until over this.
@Colleen790. Completely understand. Hard to do much with bronchitis. Stress eating is understandable too.
Stress eating is often because you have not learned other strategies to deal with stress. A lot find comfort in food. Most important thing here is to not thing badly of yourself because you eat to cope with stress. Stress over this will just make you more stressed and thereby likely eat more of what you shouldn't.
Reward yourself if you manage to resist stress eating.
Also reward yourself if you consciously think about and try to resist stress eating (irrespective of whether you are successful). Only by tying can you eventually succeed. Success on every attempt is nearly impossible as you learn and discover new methods. So reward the process more than the result.
Logging food will help as you will start to see patterns of when and what you eat.
Treat yourself gently and get well as soon as possible. Not only for you, but your husband.1 -

Thanks Craigo. Great advice. I was tempted to opt out this month but realise I may end up gaining more weight. At least this way I feel I need to make the effort.2 -

Weight 177.7 (constipated, day 3🙄)
Calories: tracked and under
Exercise: deep house cleaning for 1 hour
Net carbs: 54g. I went over but this happens rarely so I'm not worried. But sugar is 45g. Don't know what I did today?
I was hoping to go for a walk tomorrow morning before my husband goes to work. I just checked the weather forecast; 27-28° (minus 2-3 C) at 6am. I might just skip it😊
Tell us if you go! I always end up being glad I did a walk in the cold...once I get going!
Well, it snowed:( I didnt feel like getting out at all. Soon, hopefully.0 -
April 2
Weight 175.8 (psyllium husk worked:))
Calories: tracked and under
Exercise: deep house cleaning for 4 hours (including scrubbing floors, sheesh)
Net carbs: 63. Second day in a row I'm going over my goal. Still not worried. Had oatmeal for breakfast, first time in 2 years:)
This week is technically our "spring break" in our homeschool. My son wanted more time on his phone, watching and making YouTube videos all week. He came out to the backyard only once, to feed the chickens. But it's been so cold, I dont blame him, brrrr. Next week will be in the upper 50s (14-15 C) and hopefully we'll go for a hike. He walks for about 10 minutes, then gets short of breath and needs to rest. Sometimes I bring his wheelchair, I'm still trying to learn how to use it. It is a hybrid chair with a joystick for him to control it. We keep getting stuck in the mud🙄 Mud will be gone soon, right?

Okay with summer on the way and losing over 107 pounds I decided to order new swimsuits. I never like shopping for swimsuits but I actual found 4 that I love. I call this a non scale victory.9

Budget: Yes
Short walk before dinner. Dodged the rain (again). Rained most of the day.
Posting this on the morning of the 6th as was too tired last night to post. Only got 4 hours sleep the night before (damn insomnia). Then had an online drone race practice late last night (can't get out to fly).
Lots of rain about now as daylight savings just finished here and Australia is heading towards winter (and semi-enforced hibernation this year).2 -

How do you all feel if a good portion of your carbs for the day come from fresh fruit?

I don't count macros (I try to eat enough protein...I feel better when I do!) but I think you can't go wrong with fresh fruit, especially if it's replacing something else-ie, crackers, candy, etc.0 -

* these are my weekly averages.
I was doing awesome until Friday. Then my husband wanted to stay up to watch movies both on friday and Saturday nights, which means we stayed up until 3-4am and had late night snacks. I didnt touch chips or crackers or any other carbs really (ok, maybe a few tostitos here and there) but went way over my calorie goal by splurging on nuts and cheese after midnight:( I also had a few diet cokes😮 Lack of sleep, plus overeating, plus not enough water made me go up 2 pounds in 2 days:( Well, good thing it's Monday:)))
I worked in the backyard on Saturday. Cleaned up the garden, weeded a little bit, and did some planning as to what veggies are going to be planted (or transplanted) to where. Love being outdoors. Sunday was lazy. Cleaned the chicken coop lightly, trimmed a chicken's wing feathers because she keeps flying out:) And watched Netflix.3 -
