Weigh-in Week of March 3

[Mr. Bloom]

That same day, I made a decision to log 3 days of eating healthy and balanced. That was a Fri, Sat and Sun. Then Monday came around and I decided to extend my goal by the week since weekdays are easier for me anyway. Then I got to Friday and decided that I wanted one more good weekend under my belt.

I'm taking Silver's advice and logging everything I eat. I'm convinced that looking at what you eat is critical to keeping a sober perspective.

Logging everything I eat forces me to think about everything I put into my mouth. I'm not a huge eater but I'm amazed at the 100's of useless calories I can consume for no apparent reason.... Right now, I have my food log on share at sparkpeople and that makes me even more cautious about what I eat because peple can read it.

Good idea about a food log- I haven't done that for a while- it does help- thinking back on the last few days -hmmm not so good, loads of empty calories- crazy thing is I think many of the times I eat snack food (yesterday I had 4 count'em 4 packets of sesame snaps) i was actually just thirsty!- I don't drink enough water- I find it hard, I was making and drinking a good amount of "ginger tea" guesss I should get back to that- I think it would limit my snacking.
does anyone else have trouble staying hydrated? What do you try to help?

I am TERRIBLE at drinking enough. I have a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of water when I take my vitamins and that's it. I often don't drink all day. I'll usually have a 2nd glass around suppertime. I need to find ways to make myself drink. I have several water bottles on my desk. One is full but I don't drink it. Maybe I should buy some of that crystal light stuff (single serving size). Maybe I'd drink it if it was flavoured?? I don't know. Thanks for briging this up. I need to work on this.

I never drink enough either. I find making tea helpful and always carrying my fancy dancy camelback H2O bottle with me. I tend to sip if I have it. I just have to remember to bring it along.

Actually, I need to qualify that. I'm good at drinking, just not water. Gimme a margarita or a glass of red wine (better yet a bottle) or a white russian, or a shmirnoff ice or a ...

Good one, KG

Tonight, I broke down. Gave in. Gave up. The Naturopathic diet has not made any improvements for me. I decided I would give on one forbidden item. It has taken me 2 1/2 hours to drink half a glass of white wine. I think I'll let DH finish it. I feel sleepy, but I sure don't feel any worse!

Hugs and butterflies,
