Learning my sweet spot
Since learning last Tuesday that I am in the green zone, I have had to spend the week re-evaluating my food patterns, choices, etc. I usually guess at my calories and journal my food choices about four times a week. Since I no longer use weight watchers online, I decided to use sparkpeople.com. I like it better than the lapband journey site. Reading the daily report with the pie graphs that break down the nutritional aspect is really an eye opener. It allows me to ask myself, "Was that food choice worth it?" or "Could I have done something different to up my protein?" It usually suggests more carbs intake but I am not worried about that. I find that the protein stays on target only if I add a protein shake to my daily food intake. The most astonishing area is my fat intake. It proves that I eat within my limits but most choices contain too much fat......The results show this truth especially when I eat out. My home prepared foods leave better results. Also, I have not weighed myself since last Tuesday. I am a scale whore and have been trying to kick that habit. I hope that the scale results bring me a big smile when I do get on.
