The Sunday Night Plan
Well. Here it is another Sunday evening and I am thinking about the week ahead. How will I improve my diet. Once again I got on the scale this weekend to discover I am the exact same weight as I was in July! It is soooo frustrating. I am waiting for my new exercise regime to break through this plateau. In the meantime I am trying to figure out how to integrate M’s suggestions for cutting down on the carbs and get in enough protein. I can see from food journaling that although I think I am eating good carbs, I am in fact not most times. I am eating out where choices are limited and therefore suffering from inferior food. I need to eat at home! I found a good description of amino acids and “complete proteins” online - apparently you need to combine specific non-meat foods together to get their full nutritional value. So my goal this week will be to eat only good carbs, and fewer of them, add more veggies and stop eating after dinner. if I walk in the evening that should help occupy me and settle the cravings as I don’t usually like to eat afterwards - especially after seeing that I only burn about 300 calories on my 30 minute walk.
