Felt pretty good about my first day of trying to get my diet back into form. I went and did my monday morning yoga class which is usually the toughest one I take during the week. My hamstrings are sore this morning, but in a good way! Breakfast was 3 eggs and some turkey sausage and lunch was some whole grain cereal and soy milk. Dinner I had rotisserie chicken and when I finished I noticed myself immediately wanting something sweet. So I did what I used to do when I was losing weight before and had a cough drop and some sugar free gum. I feel like that helps get me something sweet that’s like 5 calories and by the time I’m done with those, I’m not hungry any longer. One of my big problems is I eat too fast, so often I’ll eat an amount that makes me full, but I eat it so fast that my brain doesn’t acknowledge being full until I eat something else and then I feel stuffed. I also went out with a friend to a museum last night so walked around for much of the evening, so that replaced my normal evening/night walk for last night and was about 4000 steps. Normally at night I shoot for 50-60 minute walk which gets me about 6000 steps to finish the day.

Weigh in for Monday 2/12/24 was 280.4 pounds at 9am which is when I’ll usually try and weigh in. I know there’s fluctuations in weigh ins everyday but mostly just looking for a little progress these next few weeks. If I lose 2 to 5 pounds I’ll be very happy.
