OMGosh Diane, this is ME as well!! Lol. 🤣 I just keep saying that I have to give my sweet hubby time to get used to the idea that I don't want meat with every single meal! Lol. 🤷🏻♂️
Ha ha I do all the cooking in the house so I did manage to convince hubby to go vegan and wfpb with me for 18 months. We both felt great from it. I would love to try it again one day soon and I hve a feeling if i did it again I would prob just go vegetarian instead. Xo4 -

In addition to Dr. Neal Barnard, I listen to Physician's Committee, and The Exam Room , both on YouTube. Great info on WFPB. I never try to push my diet on anyone. Everyone's entitled to their own plan. This just works best for me.
Ahh yes ok that sounds fun. Xo1 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 35-minute HASFit video

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes So today I bought some spearmint "lifesaver" type candy at the dollar store today. When I tracked it on the app I noticed how high in carbs they were. Became aware that I need to find another way to satisfy a nervous habit.

*Meditation and journaling
* Under calories
* Tracked honestly to a tee
* Monitored sugars but over slightly.
I hve been really hungry lately so im making an effort to focus on bumping up my protein. This seems to be working well.
I only eat meat once a day tho so i need to so some research to find really high protien foods as I feel like atm im eating too much cottage cheese and pb2 powder to meet my protien goals.

✔️ Tracked it all
✔️ Calories on the mark
✔️ Exercise was 30+ minutes walking on the treadmill. On my feet all day today and goodness, standing in one spot is hard on my body! I need to find a way to walk in these situations without looking like I am nervously pacing. 🧐

Good quote and food for thought @biketheworld
I too live in a household with a husband who does all the cooking and who loves meat. Having said that, we do our fair share of vegetarian meals, but I don't see us ever shifting away from meat completely.
I love fruits and veggies, although I find unless my veggies are dominating my meals (salads, meal kits with lots of veggie sides) that I may slack to snack on them whereas with fruit I almost certainly get my share each day. If I made veggies more accessible as a snack I think I'd do better there.
@MadisonMolly2017 I definitely know I'm exceeding sodium recommendations. I know there are elements in my diet I can improve, and this is one of them. There is a part of me that feels like it's taking all my resolve to keep the habits I have now on track (not that I'm muscling through, but just that I've bit off what I can handle right now).... that I know macros and the nutritional value of my food are items I'll have to start looking at next, but I don't have it in me yet.
I know when I got started the fact I had 125 pounds to lose felt SO daunting that I made a deal with myself that I wouldn't be too hard on what I ate to get there. Don't get me wrong, there is lots of good in my diet and I love nutritious food naturally, but there is lots of less than nutritious foods that I eat as well. There is nothing virtuous about my food diary, this I know. I think for now the treats make it manageable and since I'm no longer bingeing and eating to excess at the very least I know there's improvement there.9 -
@ashleycarole86
I definitely did the same thing & then over time improved various macros/micros gradually!
Sounds like a great plan to me!
Whee Er n I was having my tough time, I looked back at the other time I had to turn my weight around to see what I was eating.
I don’t eat any of that stuff now LOL
Over time, we accomplish great things!
You are inspiring💕8 -

Track: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes- Treadmill: 1.31 mi / 22 min
While I'm all for whole foods and mostly eat that way there are still a handful of minimally processed items that I regularly buy. Plant based would never work for me. I dislike lentils, most types of beans and meat substitutes (fake meat, tempeh, seitan, tofu, etc). I also find that whole grains don't agree with me at all unless I limit them to small quantities a couple of times per week. Same with pasta which is why I try to eat gluten free but even then there are only a few brands that I actually like and I've tried more than a dozen.
Some months ago I tried to incorporate Meatless Monday into our weekly meal planning for environmental reasons. My intent was to start with one day per week and work towards 2-3 times a week. I only lasted a couple of weeks. I found the types of vegetarian dishes I actually liked and filled me up were way too caloric to fit into my daily limits. I buy wild caught fish along with grass fed, locally pastured and organic meat (including sausage made in house) from a couple of local butchers which is quite expensive but excellent quality. My portions are generally only 3-4oz so I'm doing my best to minimize the amount of meat/seafood I eat.10 -

I've always tried hard to include a variety of fruits and vegetables in my diet. Periodically I'll buy something I haven't eaten in a while and then incorporate into a meal. My last grocery shop included frozen artichoke hearts, arugula, eggplant, beets, edamame, papaya, squash & rutabaga along with my staples (I now shop for a 2/3 week period). I also try to do the same with legumes and whole grains although I'm not as successful with incorporating those in my diet regularly; they tend to sit in my pantry for a while.
Yes to logging, no to staying under, no to exercising. Not my most successful day but certainly not my worst.7 -
