Hi again.
Well, I allowed myself to have some fun for Superbowl Sunday and actually only went over by 283 calories and was up .5 pounds (mostly from sodium and a little extra "bad" fat).
Yesterday I was back on track and practiced my flexitarian diet. Committed to NO alcohol for the next 10 days. I ate tons of legumes and veggies and plant based protein. I added some strength training. I drank 12 (14 ounce) glasses of water... today I am up 1.5 pounds UGH!
I enter everything in myfitnesspal.com. Looking at my food log from yesterday - after my exercising - I was over my fiber by 18 grams and under my fat by 11. Also, my calories were only 1,160. I know better than that. I know I need to make sure to include my healthy fats so all that fiber can "be processed" - water alone is not enough.
Wake up call/reminder it isn't enough just to log everything - we need to use the data in front of us to optimize our results.
Loking back at my initial entries I was most successful when I was including my chia seeds, flax and hemp seeds in my non-meat days of my flexitarian "diet"
Final push for the 5th round of High Stakes Transformer here. I can do this. I WILL do this!!!
CARPE DEIM!
...now time to go clean up the rest of this snow that dumped on us Sunday LOL - that should help :)
Hugs to all who want them XOXOXOX!
Thanks for your support!
