Plan for tomorrow
Tomorrow will be the start of the diet.The first thing you need to do according to Beck is weigh first thing tomorrow morning.No matter what it says write it down and later as you continue to weigh in every week you can see a graph of your ups or downs.
Plan and write out all meals and snacks you plan to eat tomorrow.You can either use your e-tools or if you aren't doing WW just write them out in a diet notebook.Continue to plan out every day or night for the next day and be sure to have the ingredients or food you plan to eat on hand.
How will you plan and monitor your eating?

I weigh every morning and write it on a paper in my bathroom. I also put it on my phone (android: Libra)
I don't usually write out my food plan for the next day. I eat almost the same foods for breakfast and lunch each day and I do put them in my WW tracker each day. I have a general idea of what's for dinner for the next 2 days so I can plan grocery trips for any extras. I put that in my tracker each afternoon as I begin preparing dinner. I also rotate through a variety of snacks I keep in the house that I can choose each day.

For better or worse I do step on the scale every morning and record the number in an app called TargetWeight. When I've regained weight in the past I did not step in the scale, and that seemed to lead to trouble. I record what I eat on my iPad and iPhone and computer in WW etools. Even though the WW app sometimes makes me crazy, it's the easiest way to keep track for me. I more or less plan out what I'm going to eat each day in advance, and adapt as best I can when I have to.

I also weigh every day and record it on my Fitbit app.I track my food if I know the plan for the next day in e-tools the night before.Sometime during the day I eat my meals I sometimes track them in MFP.I only track meals the night before but wait until I see how many SP I have left to decide on snacks.

I weigh every morning and write it on my monthly planner by my computer. I keep my planners stacked up for a few years and that way I can check back in time which helps. Being able to look back and see where I was a year ago helps me figure if I'm okay or am gaining.
I usually have an idea ahead of time what I will be eating. I pretty much eat the same things every day and when I substitute I look for items and amounts that equal about the same points. I don't track now but I do weigh and measure every day. When I have a weight gain (almost always because of portion creep) I go back to tracking to help myself mentally work back my eating.

I weigh every morning and write it down on a piece of paper I keep in the bathroom.
I graph the weekly WW meeting weigh-ins to see the big-picture trend line. (I started doing this a long time before there was a WW graph on a WW app, so I've just kept up my own graph.)
I plan out my meals a week in advance using an Excel spreadsheet. I use the meal plan to develop a grocery list for the big weekly shopping.
I track what I actually eat in the WW eTools tracker.
When the scales starts playing mystery games with me, I go back and compare the plan on the spreadsheet with the actual in the tracker. Usually I find that I've been making substitutions but the point swaps are out of balance. Canned green beans (0 pts) do NOT equal canned corn (3 pts).

linda72, Our work nutritionist has classes for those who are "endurance" athletes. I do fall into the category. Although I think it applies somewhat to those who are not quite as active. The big emphasis is on not getting too low on sugar during exercise, making sure that sugar is replaced immediately following exercise (within 45 minutes) and having protein within about an hour to help rebuild the injured muscle. Muscle gets bigger by tearing and growing back thicker. So, exercise tends to tear muscle.

Tammy Thanks for the reminder, I thought I remembered you talking about eating after exercise.

Since breakfast and lunch are virtually the same everyday, I sketch a dinner menu for the week before getting groceries. I do track everyday and I weigh-in every Monday morning. Sometimes I'll WI three times a week but, I think I'll make it a new practice to get on the scale everyday. It certainly won't hurt and may be a good habit to get into.
Tammy I always benefit from your pearls of wisdom.
