Food Log
Breakfast (9:40 AM 4/6)
On Breakfast and other items
I didn't purposely stop writing I just, well got a little off track since my return from vacation. For some reason I just didn't feel like writing and logging food consumption.
I did however notice something. During that interval I got away from eating breakfast - skipping it in fact. As a result my late afternoon and evening snacking picked up. Not horribly so, but it was decidedly different from where I was in the prior weeks. So this week I've made an attempt to return to having something for breakfast besides just gum and coffee.
Another item that's beginning to frustrate me is not being able to see myself on the scale - my weight that is. I had a Dr's apt before I left to go on vacation and asked to weigh myself while I was there. 342 was what the scale read which was a loss of 8 lbs - which is in the right direction. I think my scale at home starts a 339 so I was hoping after my return that I would have lost 3 lbs. No so. That may have contributed to not wanting to write - i.e. lack of measurable progress which always throws me off diets. However, I'll keep plugging away at this.
I do notice that my pants/shirts and other apparel are fitting less snug and that I have better freedom of movement when bending/squatting/etc. So anecdotal evidence says I'm making some progress.
I'm still walking and trying to do 10,000 steps per day. So far, I'm averaging a little over that on a per week basis.
