N0AiR Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 20190302 - Food Log "Everything went well until bed time..." I tend to get stressed at night and then because I can't sleep I drift to the kitchen and grab whatever I see and eat it. I grabbed a half pound of ground beef I had cooked to have in the fridge and then just ate it. It's something I am working on. To get myself settled I had to figure out what was bothering me and it ended up being a few loose ends from a recent project so I grabbed my work phone and scheduled everything I needed to focus on. Felt so much better afterwards. Phew! I don't think I am going to use My Fitness Pal to food log anymore. Seeing the calories tends to bug my eating disorder.

N0AiR Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Week of 3/4 take aways: *Log BEFORE you eat makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE *Discovering I have a lot of stress about not knowing what to eat when I don't plan ahead. Planning ahead makes it as easy as going to the fridge at home and work and heating up my food and eating. Or having the ingredients separated in the fridge to grab and start cooking. *Doing nothing but eating is a completely new experience for me. I like it... and will continue it. Need to find a quite place at work... like... the break room. =) *Friday is here and I have this surge of self confidence that has come from the Mantra - "Worried about something... schedule to work on it." Simple and it works. If I know something is bothering me and I make no time to work on it the stress never goes away. If I pull out my phone and schedule time to work on it the stress lowers and I find that I start being able to problem solve subconsciously and have a solution when the schedule time comes. Thank you Nerd Fitness for the jump start! I am planning on taking my photos and measurements tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes. Quote Link to comment

Mikey Fitpants Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Good man. Measurements next then. And it sounds like your solution for things that stress you is working. All good stuff this week then. How is this approach to eating different from what you were doing? Were you leaving it too long and getting too hungry and then eating too much all at once?

All good stuff this week then. How is this approach to eating different from what you were doing? Were you leaving it too long and getting too hungry and then eating too much all at once?Without prepping before hand, especially breakfast, I would just skip meals. Drive through for lunch and the stress at the end of the day would contribute to me eating anything and everything at the end of the day when I got home.

Mikey Fitpants Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Right. It does sound like you need to cut down on those drive throughs and then just devouring everything at the end of the day. I assume you are hoping to lose some weight and improve your fitness a bit. Your diet is the main thing that will affect your weight and health, and some exercise will improve your fitness and health. Regarding your diet, I don't know if you have ever read up much on the body chemistry of eating carbs and what happens with blood glucose and insulin. Basically, any sort of carbs will mean a rise in glucose in your blood and so your body produces insulin to deal with it. While there is insulin in your blood stream then your body can't access stored body fat. So, if you are going to eat a number of smaller meals throughout the day then also see if you can limit any major intake of carbs to just one of those meals. That will give you more time throughout the day with no insulin in your blood stream making it possible for your body to access your fat reserves. You might know all this already of course. By carbs I mean anything with sugar in, plus bread, potatoes, rice pasta, too much fruit. You should be OK with some veg in a couple of meals. Prepping your food for the day is a great strategy. I used to create a meal plan for a week and have it on the inside of a kitchen cupboard door. It took a bit of experimenting to find enough healthy meals that I actually liked eating, and after a few months I had a whole week of meals that worked for me. Regarding your exercise, how have you been getting on with your 5 mins walk each day? Quote Link to comment
Mikey Fitpants Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've just googled the Quest cinnamon roll bars that you mention. They look awesome. We don't get proper cinnamon rolls over here in the UK like you have over there, nor do we get cinnamon roll flavoured products. Cinnabon are just sooo delicious, and those cinnamon roll Oreos you have over there are amazing too. I had a cinnamon roll type pancake for breakfast at Dennys last year, it was really, really nice.

Mikey Fitpants Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Result!! There's a UK website that sells the Quest cinnamon roll bars. I've just ordered a box. A bit pricey though, and I had to buy a box of 12 so they better be as nice as I imagine Quote Link to comment
Mikey Fitpants Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hmmm. They're an acquired taste. The second one tasted nicer than the first one. They are just cinnamon flavour really, I think I was hoping for some cream cheese frosting flavour in the too.I also got some chocolate peanut butter ones as well so that the order qualified for free delivery. Again, the flavour is unusual. But they will get eaten, and they are quite good as treats go. How's things going with your progress? Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

I was distracted this last week. Daughter was sick and we got a Blizzard that knocked the power out for a couple days. I wish I had warned you that they are sweetened with Stevia. Makes the flavor a little odd. Honestly the first time I tried them they were amazing. Now, like you mentioned, they are a nice treat. Hope you are well. I need to get back to logging and have been doing some meal planning but not to the extent I should. I read your other posts and I am not a fan of Keto. I am looking for something with sustainability. To me I see the people who lose a ton of weight fast eating a very strict diet and exercise. Some of those people have to continue eating a very low calorie intake to keep the weight off. While I see other people tell me how great Keto is... Then they tell me how their hair falls out and there breath is bad. That doesn't make sense to me either. One issue I have that makes it a little different is I have an eating disorder. So 90% of the time I don't get hunger cues or full cues. I eat based on time when I'm doing well... And when I'm not I eat because I am stressed or trying to distract from emotions I do not want to feel. I'm actively working on it and it's a struggle. I wish I could say that I didn't let anything get in my way and I did really great this week but that isn't what happened and I need to decide what my next step is as far as getting back on track. I was reading that one thing I could do is plan my eating a day in advance, have the food prepared and log a day in advance. Making sure I give time to process the eating. Right now that seems hard to picture in my head. I have meals ready to go in the fridge and freezer that I can just grab and eat or pack and take to work. So I am trying to get better about planning for today. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
