Good Monday mates! I hope everyone enjoyed the final week of NFL football over the weekend, and enjoyed watching Georgia stomp TCU in the college final tonight.
So, let's get down to business. I did my weigh in. My first one since New Year's Day. And if you've been listening from the beginning, you know I gained 5 pounds between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. I did what I did the past week. From meal prep, to eating ok, to not doing so great, to eating out. But I got on that scale this morning.
And I'm down a pound. It's those little things. I'm glad that the scale reflected that work I was able to put in and it goes to show that if I can get my brain focused more, my body focused more, that this is the first pound of many future pounds.
My Monday was extremely chaotic in the afternoon and evening. So whatever plans I had kind of got thrown out the window. But, tomorrow is a new day.
My friend Paul sent me some tips and suggestions. He says
"Pickles. I don't know how you feel about dill pickles but those were my best friends for snacking. Snacking was my biggest downfall. A fair bit of salt but zero calories.
This one is weird so I get it if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea:
Very often for lunch I'd have a can of sardines packed in olive oil, some low carb crackers and an avocado. Lots of protein and natural fats to keep you feeling really full but low on calories. Costco generally has good quality sardines that are a little lower on the fishiness scale. Also, lots of water and LaCroix for that carbonated beverage fix"
I'll be back tomorrow and we'll keep those baby steps going!
