I have avoided posting here because I am not having success in keeping my weight in check. I could give a million reasons why I am struggling, and I freely acknowledge they are true. However, no matter what is going on in other areas of my life that does not mean I should remove the priority from taking the best care of myself that I can.
Reminding myself that taking care of my health must be a priority.
So here I am. With renewed motivation, I will not give up. I will do my best each day.
I am posting for accountability.
Yesterday I tracked calories as best as I could. Because I was eating other people cooking, I couldn't weigh ingredients or even know exactly everything that was in the dishes I ate. As best and honestly as I could estimate, I ate 1264 calories with 78g of protein.
My 6238 steps were low, and I only hit my hourly goal 11 hours out of 14. I was with family and friends for 7 hours and we had rain falling for over a dozen hours limiting my ability to walk outside. So my activity was on the low side.
I tried yesterday and the scales showed 1/2 lb loss this morning.
I will try again to do my best today.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
