I was sick last week & thought for sure I'd see a small loss but no such luck. I stayed exactly the same. That's better than gaining but I'm still annoyed. - How do you self-monitor/track on your weight loss journey? (Food and weight) Right now I'm tracking GHGs & that's not going as well as I had hoped but I'm going to give it a few more weeks to try it out. If I don't see my weight going in the right direction, then it's back to counting points. I track my weight on my scale a couple times a week. Usually midweek just as a check & then the official weigh-in day. - How do you use this information to guide you on your journey? If I see a loss, then I KOKO. If it's a gain, then I have to adjust my meals for the coming week. This Week’s Routine: Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy snack with you. - Pack a Snack was one of my favorite topics when I was going to meetings. It's such an easy thing to do & eliminated the stop at the convenience store for a candy bar. A small bag of grapes is typically my go-to snack. GHG of the Week: Take a multi-vitamin everyday- This one is easy. I've been taking a daily vitamin for years. What are you having for dinner? Beef Noodle Skillet (2 nights), Cabbage/onions with pierogies, Hungry Girl's Cheesy Taco Casserole (2 nights). I had forgotten about the HG recipe until I started digging through my old recipes. It uses cauliflower rice. I haven't figured out what we're having for Valentine's Day yet. That will be a last minute decision. We go out to eat on Saturday. We'll have either a vegetable or salad with the dinners. www.hungry-girl.com/recipes/cheesy-taco-casserole.pdfI use a packet of low sodium taco seasoning instead of all the spices listed in the recipe.

If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: + Started counting exchanges, rethought my goals on vegan eating - sustainability/cost/protein availability also needs to be factored in...
If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it! Was up to almost 207 and this morning am at 202.6 so reining it in helped...will get back below 200 again (hopefully) before next virtual meeting This Week's Topic: The Four Pillars - Behavior - How do you self-monitor/track on your weight loss journey? (Food and weight) Food: MFP and paper tracker that I write in daily. I record exchanges and points - How do you use this information to guide you on your journey? Look to see how I did and focus on getting the correct number of exchanges in daily
- What do you do to increase your cognitive skills/make changes to your thinking for long term success? I pretty much know what to do - don't focus on it much any more...should probably focus on one habit or idea or something every day?
This Week’s Routine: (2) Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy snack with you. Don't leave often so don't worry about a snack
GHG of the Week: Take a multi-vitamin everyday habit already ingrained
Meal of the Week: Dinner What are you having for dinner? never sure...last night it was stuffed grape leaves with cauliflower (steamed) with tarator sauce (tahini, garlic, lemon) - sometimes a wrap with hummus and greens OR pasta with sauce OR something else.

I'm sorry I've been slacking on posting myself. Catching up today!
- How do you self-monitor/track on your weight loss journey? (Food and weight) I cut down weighing to once a week. More than that discourages me at this stage of the game. When I have a considerable loss, daily weighing is helpful to keep me focused on keeping it off. Tracking food is on iTrackBites. I really think I need a paper tracker as well, but I'm struggling with tracking as it is, so I gotta do what I can, where I am, right now.
- How do you use this information to guide you on your journey? The weight is staying the same, which means I'm being mindful, but not really changing. I need to make a change to move in the right direction. The tracker shows the points day by day and helps me to see what 'treats' or portions pushed me over my points. Then I can ask myself if it was really worth it and, if not, avoid it in the future.
- What do you do to increase your cognitive skills/make changes to your thinking for long term success? I do the beck review on this board, and I'm trying to do it at home at my own pace. I think it's the single greatest thing for my mindset.
This Week’s Routine: (2) Before you leave the house make sure you have a healthy snack with you. Terrible at this. I used to have a WW snack in my bag, but nothing now. I will throw a granola bar in there. 3PP
GHG of the Week: Take a multi-vitamin everyday Fell out of habit with this. I need to make it part of my lunch.
What are you having for dinner? This week, stuffed peppers, chicken delicious, pancakes (yes, for dinner), pizza, and a Hamburger Helper. Dinner is the pointier meal.
