Whoopee! I lost 2 pounds this week. What a relief. No big surprise though. I had one day of eating well over my calorie window and two days considerably below and the other 4 days within the window. In the end I averaged at the bottom of my calorie window. This all makes the 2 pound loss to be expected.
I have started with my virtual personal coach/trainer. I am finding the novelty of working with another person and trying out her way of doing things and maintaining my regular ways to be useful. Of course, it is easier to stay on track when I am reporting what I have done. So far, I have started a baseline exercise piece. I had to film myself doing it so they could look at my form. That was challenging- filming and doing the routines! Got it done. Also I am to take pictures of everything that I eat and send it to her. First day of doing this was yesterday - somewhat hard in that I had to remember to do it before I ate it! For the most part I did. One I had to show the frozen version because I forgot!
I also bagged up treat bags of 150 calories with a couple of cookies and jelly beans. All carefully figured out and then the bags went into the freezer. I pull one out per day and that is the sweets for the day. I have some cucumbers cut up with measured hummus in the container for a snack at any time. That is helping too. Finally I realized that I was hungry at 4 and that if I just ate then and then ate around 7ish it worked. So now I eat at 8, 12, 4, 7ish. This has probably been the single most help for the night eating.
This week I had great success with my 91 year old deaf father in law and getting him to a doctor - we got his needs attended to, a doctor assigned to him, home care is to come in to check on him, me on the list so they call me with results as well as him, and a follow up appointment!! I was so glad.
