Weighed in Friday, & gained 4 pounds!!!!

FOOD: April 20th-26th

April 20th: True confessions: Ate after 7:30, because I was still hungry, & things got crazy right before then, w/ kids needing to go to bed. I ate a few small chunks of cheese, since my stomach was still growling, & then felt so icky, I stopped.

April 17th: Ditto!!

April 18th: Same!

FOOD: March 31-April 5

Mar. 31st: Didn't eat after 7:30. Thought about it, but when I remembered my new rule....I knew I couldn't. I still think it's one of the easiest things I have ever tried in being healthy!

Does anyone have any other really easy tricks for me?

April 2: Still doing ok, here. Though tonight, I was SO hungry & it was a real battle.

FOOD: March 23-29th

Mar. 23rd: Finished eating at about 7:35. This is the best "rule" I have ever come up w/! Once I get the hang of it, (& actually REMEMBER that it is my goal), I think it will also be easy & make me feel better.

Mar. 24th: Didn't eat after 7:30! Drank almost all my water.

Mar. 25th: Ditto, except DID drink all my water.

Mar. 26th: Finished eating at 7:30. Did not eat after that, though the thought crossed my mind several times. Drank all my water!!

Mar. 27th: Did eat after 7:30. But, when I remembered my new rule, my fork went down & that was it. Not ANOTHER bite. This is actually one of the easiest "rules" re. food I have ever tried.

Mar. 28th: Ditto.

FOOD: March 16th-22nd

Mar. 16th: Woo!! Hoo!!! Last night at about 9pm, I remembered my new goals for the next few weeks.

Trouble is, I had spent the time between about 7-9 bottling, diapering & tucking in kids. Natty is still rather difficult sometimes to get to sleep.

I did real battle in my mind about whether or not I could still eat-& have a good excuse. But, I couldn't come up w/ the good excuse, so.........

I DIDN'T EAT!!!!

Yeah!
I'm giving myself a round of applause for that one!



Mar. 17th: Man, is it harder to not eat past 7:30pm when you have company! We sat down to eat at 7pm, & had dessert after the kids went to bed.

Mar. 18th: Went out to eat at 7:30........so, there you go!

Mar. 19th: Forgot about new rules, since things were a bit CRAZY at my house yesterday.

Mar. 22nd: Remembered the rules!!!! At 7:11 last night, & I had started to cook myself some food, which wasn't done until 7:45......but I ate until I wasn't hungry, put the food away & didn't eat anymore!

FOOD: Feb. 17-23rd

Feb. 17th: Started marking off boxes again-but need to go back & re-think today's points.

Feb. 18th: Didn't keep too close track today-did mark off boxes, though.

Feb. 19th: Completely forgot about marking boxes.
