Jack Ryan- Rebel Recruit Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Cross Post: IHC a local insurace provider offeers a free 'weight watchers' program- Weigh to Health. I posted this in that group to think out loud and get some direction. It fit here as it give background and context for where I whant to go with NF. I am just starting Weigh to Health- And frankly I am overwhelmed. Mostly my the behavior side. I got back from and LDs mission and lost 50 Pounds working in a bakery eating what we made. I again lost 30 pounds watching portions and Swimming 3-6 times a week- It was easy to make changes. Since getting married (5 years ago) and 2 kids I feel like I am not getting traction. Over the past 2 week I have identified a few things that are sabotaging my progress:1) I have mild social anxiety and my wife is usually 'the first to arrive then last to leave' an event- to stay busy I eat.2) When we eat as a family I am 'done' before my 3 year old takes his first bite- I end up having another portion while I help him eat or while we talk about the day. If I eat and leave the table I do well - but am 'avoiding the family'3) Recipes online are 'horrible'- My wife made a casserole like one my mom used to make. My mom made it with white sauce (milk and flour) The recipe was Cream cheese, sour cream and whipping cream- WAY more fat AKA calories per 3 oz serving.4) Tracking- I may have made great headway today! Weigh to Health wants tracking throughout the program. I have used MyFitnessPal in the past. How ever I would get very discouraged as I ran out of calories but was still hungry.4.1) The Dietitian assigned to our orientation has been a huge help! She explained the 'MyPlate' and Exchange Method in extra detail and answered questions.4.2) I had a hard time finding a way to track AND plan.4.2.1) For me 'My plate' is really hard to track with but is the best way for managing food when preparing and during a meal.4.2.2) The Exchange Method is hard to track but Very helpful when at the grocery store4.3) I think i settled on what to do:4.3.1) Track with my fitness pal and update the macro nutrient goals with feed back from the dietitian.4.3.2) Plan and make dinner based on where I am at with Macro nutrients.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4.3.3) Reference the Exchange booklet (and food labels) while shopping to gain an understanding of how a food fits on 'My Plate' and will impact My Fitness pal 1 Quote Current Challenge Spoiler Week #0: Food logging: ☑☑☑☑☑ Movement: ☐☐☐☐☐ Week #1: Food logging: ☑☑☑☑☑ Movement: ☑☐☐☐☐ Week #2: Food logging: ☑☑☑☑☑ Movement: ☐☐☐☐☐ Week #3: Food logging: ☑☑☐☐☐ Movement: ☑☑☐☐☐ Week #4: Food logging: ☐☐☐☐☐ Movement: ☐☐☐☐☐ Previous challenges: #1 #2 #3 #4 #4.5 #5 Level 3 Lycan Ranger Workout audiobook: Patriot Games Looking for accountability buddies: Strava My FitnessPal Moov Google Fit Link to comment
