Keep Plodding On

I didn’t manage to stay away from the kitchen in the night, but I did try. The fact that the first two times I made myself get a drink only tells me this is a conscious thing. The third time I woke up I had some of my natural greek yogurt with honey (not too bad!) but then I woke up again a fourth time and ended up giving in and finishing the pot of yogurt and more honey (the yogurt turned out to be 600 calories without the honey!!). Plus 3 light digestive biscuits. Oops.

But I have decided to start being honest with myself. None of this stopping writing everything down the minute I fall off the wagon. I got up and put everything into MyNetDiary and it came back at 2500 calories for the whole day. According to that site, eating that amount every day I would still lose 1.1lb per week. This is why this site is beneficial to me. Normally I would consider eating that much a total diaster but it shows me that all is not lost. It also tells me to just keep trying every day and eventually it will sort itself out. I just have to not have things like natural greek yogurt and digestive biscuits on hand at night.

I am going to go shower now and get ready for the gym. I don’t feel up to it at all but I am not giving in. If I only do a weights session that has got to be better than nothing.

Yesterday’s calories: 2500
Yesterday’s exercise: 1 hour of walking
Yesterday’s water: 1litre
Today’s weight: 14.9

    I have really noticed the times that I beat myself up, are the times that I am not really aware of the whole picture. When I stop to check it out, it isn’t as bad as I imagined. At that point I can move on, with more information, and consciously make better decisions for the future.

    Love the bright new layout by the way. Very energizing to look at!

    Hi Rachel. Yeah, it is all about keeping perspective. Early in the week I weighed 14.11 the next day I went down to 14.9 and have stayed there for 3 days. Once I would have thought this a disaster but managing not to put on is quite an achievement for me lately. I am getting there, slowly.
