❤ JANUARY 2019 CHALLENGE ❤

Day 18th - my top weight loss tip... log and weigh everything! I admit I don't hit my Protein goals a lot, I forget to take my Vitamins a lot, and I don't hit my macro goals a lot. But I do weigh, and measure, and log everything that goes in my mouth. MFP lets you build recipes, choose portion amounts, and calculates everything. So I know it's accurate, and it helps get me to my calorie goal.

No lectures please. I know I haven't met my protein goals or taken vitamins in a while, but my labs were perfect at my 3 month check up. My hair is fine and isn't falling out, and my weight loss hasn't stalled. What works for some doesn't work for all, and this works for me. [emoji175] [emoji179] [emoji91]

Top weight loss tip: have a DETAILED backup plan

I tend to be an organized planner but I'm either all or nothing. That means most the time my plan is followed to the letter but when my plan falls apart it falls all the way apart. In my past weight loss endeavors this led me to get my diet completely off track if things didn't go according to plan.

My saving grace is a backup plan, a list on my Google Drive that I can access from my computer or phone any time. It has healthy Snacks I could pick up from a gas station or grocery store. Drive-through options, restaurants for going out or picking up takeout. I include menu option because I can't be trusted to make good decisions in the moment. I rely on this more often than I thought I would.

No judging here, my Water and net carbs goals are whistling in the wind, but have you thought of putting your vitamins in a container near your kettle (or somewhere you visit often). I have a weekly pill container where the days are separated out so every morning I see last night's empty container and swap it for the new day's and start taking my meds and vitamins. Then coz I go to the kettle I see it during the day and remember.

My vitamins are liquid and kept in the fridge. I am hardly in there anymore so that's why I forget so easy... I started setting reminders so hopefully it'll help lol.

In other news lol, today is day 19 - when I DO remember to take my vitamins, I take Mary Ruth's daytime and nighttime liquid vitamins. I went over them with my NUT and Dr and the only downside/ question they had was that each one has 8g of carbs per serving. Sad ( or not so sad?) part is... that still keeps me well under their goal of 50g of carbs so they are okay to take. I love the liquid vitamins over pills. Pills sit like rocks in my stomach, and these are GF so with having CD I don't have to worry. Which is super nice!
