I had to have one of those meetings in my head this week. You know how it goes. "Susan, you've been doing so well. What happened this week?" I answered, "Well, there was the dinner out. Twice. Oh, and lunch at work was really good so I ate it instead of my packed lunch. Oh, then there was the breakfast/brunch with Sarah. I guess I shouldn't have had the hash browns and toast with the omelet." There was no real damage done, but there was no weight loss. In spite of going to the gym 5 days. It's time to straighten up again.
I also had not been utilizing my software efficiently. Yes, I still did the daily weigh in, but I wasn't always putting it in the software and I had been skipping entering all my meals. It's so easy to have more if you're not accounting for it. Always the accountant. It's no different than not entering data into my ledgers at work. Reconciling the accounts is a bitch if you don't keep track. So, I entered all my meals yesterday and probably cut my calorie intake by 500 because I had to account for it. I thought about a snack at 9 pm but knew I would have to write it down. I chose to skip it.
I also had not been having my 8 glasses of water while I was at work. I was maybe doing 4. Tsk, tsk. 4 is not enough. If I finish one 32 oz glass just before lunch, I eat less. If I knock back another during the afternoon, I eat less dinner. Duh. It's so simple.
