    Pass day. Got a quick on-the-go dinner and it killed the calorie goal for the day.

    Well done for tracking and reporting in. New day Thursday and fresh start at success. 💐 @KCJen

    Busy, rainy, cold day. Exercise was at the very end of the day — 35 minutes in the treadmill.

    @donna25trinity thanks for the opener
    Sugar is kinda an issue for me

    1) Logging/tracking my food helps me pump the breaks

    2) Sugar substitutes like stevia extract (630 servings a bottle) from Trader Joe’s is something I add for certain things things like smoothies instead of agave

    3) Trying to make my “sugar” count when I do eat it—so prunes, apples, banana and eat it along with a fat/protein kinda helps (almonds, peanut butter, cheese)

    4) Try to find loopholes to reduce my sugar. Instead of a processed yogurt cup w/fruit on bottom, I get large plain Greek yogurt and add frozen fresh fruit, stevia, raisins and almond and portion it myself—make several (2 cup Pyrex contains) for grab and go/ have enough room for fixings.

    5) Share sugary dessert when I can.

    6) Pre-Proportion dessert, (ie chocolate bar/baked goods) throw in the freezer to make it harder to eat. Out of sight/out of mind. Also when frozen it’s a little difficult to consume.

    7) Instead of bringing it into the house—buy it at a place where it’s going to be “one time treat”—ie buy ice cream at the ice cream shop instead of from the grocery store. More expensive to do (might be a deterrent) but you’ll consume less calories over a shorter period of time.

    8) Practice eating things without sugar. I mostly don’t add sugar to tea Or to coffee if I use flavored creamer.

    9) When I use agave or honey—try a teaspoon instead of Tablespoon. (3 tsp = 1 TBS) 1 TBS is typically a serving (60 cal) So I would cut myself off at a Tablespoon and be creative and look at how I can spread that table across multiple items

    10) Find some whole food vegan recipes and make your own sugary treats so when you eat them you get the satisfaction of knowing what’s in your food, it’s healthy and satisfying your sweet tooth and hopefully you won’t feel inclined to gorge because it’ll be more filling and you won’t crash.

    Oh—I gotta work on tracking my water intake. I worked out and believe I was under budget for the 18th—I’m doing much better tracking that’s my issue and I’m pleased with the progress I’m making. I’m headed in the right direction. That’s all that matters.

    I made it through dinner at Selva Grill last night, and stayed within budget! I order smartly, with double veg instead of risotto, had wine, skipped dessert. Sometimes I think I do better in restaurants than at home.



    Still 3/3
