So one week and one pound down! One pound? Oh yeah, this is going to take a while. I suppose it's not bad, really. That being only watching my eating and not working out. Plus - the weeks add up and if I can keep up with one a week, things will be great.
I'm still getting the hang of this tracking thing and trying to figure out portions. I think with more practice weighing and measuring at home it will get easier.
What is starting to sink in, is the thought that this never ends. Of course the goal is to change the way you eat, so that you aren't always having to think about it and track every little thing .. but really eating the way I imagine myself eating in the future is the difficult part. Sure when it is part of a project it isn't too hard to pass up the treats.. or cutting myself off when I really don't want to. It's sort of fun to test yourself or work towards a goal. But I can already see as the weeks go on, it's going to be harder to be as focused as I am right now.
One thing that might help stay on track is to come up with some weekly routines & some EASY staple recipes that we can make during the week. Maybe making a large salad on Sunday to last us a few days into the week, so we alway have a veg ready. I'm finding dinners during the week to be really difficult. There is just too much to do with the baby as soon as I get home. He doesn't leave me any time to prep for dinner. Then by the time he's in bed I am starving and want something that can be ready as soon as possible with very little energy to make. Frozen pizza has been a go to these days, but seeing the point value on those.. they need to be used less. That doesn't mean we can't make one every now and then with some of those salads we will have ready.
