Accountability

Hi All I am going to start a daily post detailing what I have eaten that day. If others would like to join in you are more than welcome. Whilst I don't think I'm usually going over 1000 or so a day in calories, as I've said before, that Easter candy has been calling my name. It's put away now, but I am back in the habit of bad snacking and eating when I am not hungry. At the moment I'm not too bothered about numbers (ie carbs protein etc.), I just want to get back to only eating when I'm hungry and when I feel my body needs food. The other thing that has been going on is I'm having very low blood sugar regularly now - whereas I only had it occassionally before (and usually after I'd eaten something with sugar in it!). Now I'm getting them all the time, and want to look at my eating to see if that is what is causing it. I hate having them, as I need to eat to bring the levels back up, then I never know how much to eat - do I keep eating til I'm feeling ok or eat a bite then wait for a while. They make me feel terrible, and I have to stop what I am doing and sit/lay down til they pass. Sorry this has been a long post, and thanks for listening. I know I could join posts on other boards, but I feel at home here plus they all seem to chart all their numbers which I'm not going to do. So if you want to join, lets get started together. Spring is here, our two year anniversary is coming up, we can do it... PS I'm still working on my chain - no more clips off yet - I'm stuck But I'm not giving up........

Count me in ... I gotta do SOMETHING! I have my menu planned out for today ... you guys will probably gasp but I'm supposed to be aiming for 2000 calories a day. That is to compensate for my exercising and running because I've been burning anywhere between 500-1000 calories per day depending on what type of exercise I'm doing. Anyway, I'm training for a 1/2 marathon in June so I need to keep my running miles up there so I need the food to compensate. I'm supposed to be adding more whole grains and not worrying about my protein intake so much. It's scary for me and it's actually hard to figure out what to eat! So I have a plan for today which would make my totals around 1988 calories for today. So we'll see how that goes. And that includes healthy food and no junk, no chocolate (boo hoo!). My weakness lately has been cookies and cake, and anything chocolate. I don't know what compels me to eat that junk! I just can't stay away from it! So that is my confession ... I've been eating WAY too much sugary stuff lately and have gained weight because of it. Time to get back on a good plan! I'd like to take 10 pounds back off! Deanna

I'm eating crap also (candy, carby's you name it i've inhaled it) thankfully i haven't gained any weight BUT i haven't lost any either and i'm not where I want to be. Next week is the oldest boys bar mitzvah (one week from today) after that i'm going to start concentrating on myself because I'm worth it. I think i've found a kick boxing place close to work and while that is not convenient right now it WILL be all summer long when the kids go to camp, I'll just adjust my hours and go kick boxing later in the evening. I have come to love kick boxing and it's an awesome work out. Hugs, ANDI
