translated from my french blog: On recommence...
At the beginning, the point of this blog was to help me track my weight loss. It worked well from January to July 2008, and then I hit a loooooong plateau. I lost about 7 pounds during the first edition of 'BLBE' about a year ago, and since then, I have maintained my weight at around 150 lbs.Today, back from my 2 week holiday/wedding/honeymoon: 154.4 lbs.
So I am motivated to start again and follow the program more seriously this week.
On Sunday night, I prepared 5 meals for this week's lunches - 5 points each. I also filled my 'e-tool' with this info. I think I can progress and lose some weight if I make an effort in planing what I will eat ahead of time. Calculate my points ahead of 'eating them'. I've made the mistake of guessing how many points I eat and not journaling for too long now. Oh I have about 10 points left for today so I can afford to eat a little more chocolate... when in reality I was already out of points for the day...
I think that if I calculate my points before meals, I will be less likely to want to eat too much and have to count more unplanned points...
That's my goal this week: Count all my points a day ahead. Counting before eating...
one goal at a time right?
one, two, three, GO!
