Day 20 of restart. I’ve tracked everything the past three days, but for some reason I’m forgetting to report it daily. Yesterday I made progress on tracking as I ate, rather than after the fact.

Welcome back! Glad you’re here with us.

Good morning Goadies!

For me, the two primary emotional danger points are boredom and celebration. What has proven most helpful for me is awareness and planning. So many of my eating decisions seem to happen when my awareness and willpower are low. So when I can change my environment so that the unhealthy choices are at least inconvenient, it…

Our son moved out last February, though he regularly returns to use our computer or for weekly family dinner. It’s been an odd experience for me, both happy and sad at times. DW and I haven’t made any major changes yet, though she has just recently started cleaning out his former room.

I also thought it meant woo HOO. I’m wooing everything till it’s gone. 😬

Day 17 of restart. I went WAY over points (62), which I know because I tracked everything.

Great job on the losses! Woo HOO! For me, in this current part of my journey, I get my greatest happiness in seeing the progress my body is making in fitness. I’m back to being able to run twenty minutes without stopping. And DW and I go for hikes, bike rides and walks pretty much every day again. Feeling my body continue…

Congratulations on the loss and the retirement, Sandy! Woo HOO!

Day 14 of restart. I tracked everything from yesterday. I’m over by nine points.

Day 13 of restart. I tracked everything and I was three points over, which leaves me in the healthy range for the day.

I’m with Lowbar31. I don’t remember ever making the zero point soups, but I sure bought a lot of the Progresso soups. I miss eating 10 can chili regularly. DW insists on making my food herself, and can’t seem to accept that I can enjoy eating the same thing for lunch every day. Just this week she offered to make the chili…

I have not. Bread is a trigger food for my wife so we usually don’t have it in the house.

1. Yes, and most often late night 2. Honestly, I haven’t used a tool of defense regularly, which helps explain my struggles recently. This post is reminding me just how many of my healthy habits I have let go compared to when I was at goal weight. Last night, my wife and I (at my wife’s suggestion) decided to keep some low…

Day 12 of restart. I’ve tracked everything, and had one day in the healthy range. Late night is my weakest time of day. My wife and I agreed to keep some low calorie desserts in the house, to provide a quick option instead of running out for the premium ice cream I’ve been eating.

Day 8 of restart. I tracked everything yesterday. I wasn’t within points, and knew it. I tracked anyway. I’m reminding myself that part of my challenge is to eat within my points five days a week.

Day 7 of restart. I’ve tracked everything I ate the past 4 days. It’s been ugly, but I tracked anyway.

I really admire those who put together long streaks of accomplishments. The very thought of putting together a streak of some health related accomplishment challenges some part of my self image. I hear the inner voice tell me that I could never do something like that; that I’m already too old; it’s too late, etc... That…
