I give myself credit for tracking seven days this week, weighing and measuring, controlling what food comes into the house, and keeping up with my online support groups. I am grateful my husband and I are still healthy.

Credit for tracking every day, even if I had to just put in an estimated total number for a couple of meals instead of tracking each item. Credit for eating mostly healthfully, and mostly per my hunger/satiation/deal with cravings plan. Credit for taking advantage of my slowly healing foot injury and exercising a lot in ways that could accommodate it. bbbearsmom, great job with tracking.

Where do you get inspiration for your weight management journey?

Post by bbbearsmom on Mar 17, 2024 23:03:59 GMT
My initial inspiration to lose weight I got from almost being diabetic and not wanting to be diabetic. Now that I've lost my weight I get inspiration from the benefits I have for being at a lower weight. My health measures are good, I have less body pain, I'm more mobile, and I'm more comfortable in my body. I also get inspiration from the members of my groups, them doing the work inspires me.

A photo of myself brought me back to WW this last time - I was horrified by how I looked. It kept me going to get me to my goal weight, and is still a major factor 14 years later to keep me maintaining. More recently I've got medical factors that inspire me to eat healthfully, both in terms of what I eat and how much I eat.

My biggest goal this week is to keep up with my tracking, also weighing and measuring, keeping the right food in the house and my trigger foods out of the house, and keeping up with my online support groups. My me-time is computer and reading time, and going to a soccer game.

My plan for the week is to eat healthfully, per hunger/satiation/deal with cravings. I'll track. I'll exercise as much as I can.

I'm not setting any particular goals for spring. I'm trying to focus on what I'm doing today, or right now I'm thinking about what I'm going to do this morning. I'm trying to remember that what I do today, and then what I do tomorrow, etc, will eventually get me to where I want to be.

What do you have for dinner?
|
|
|
Post by bbbearsmom on Mar 20, 2024 22:51:45 GMT
Every night I have a big raw vegetable salad sometimes I put in the rest of my dinner, usually leftovers, but also beans. For our dinners, we usually have a meat and a starch, sometimes a vegetable. I also rotate four ground beef recipes, chili, Shepard's Pie, a macaroni and cheese dish, and a chickpea recipe. And, we occasionally have take-out.

Dinner is fish once a week, eggs once a week (never for breakfast), chicken once a week or so, otherwise various vegan, or less so, vegetarian, meals with beans and grains. Always salad and/or other vegetables.
