When should I stop writing down everything I eat and counting every calorie?? Since I joined FS 7 weeks ago, I have literally written down every single thing I have put into my mouth. EVERYTHING for 7 weeks straight. Not one day missed. It's been eye-opening. At first, I just wrote down what I ate. Then I started watching what I eat a little more carefully, then I started only allowing myself a certain number of calories a day. And it's slowly started consuming my life. Obviously, I'm hyper aware of everything I eat because I always have to remember to log it. When should I stop, and see how I do without the accountability? Can I trust myself to be accountable to me? Should I keep logging maybe one typical day per week?
This was a tough week. I definitely got into the "i'm sick of dieting, and I want to eat what I want when I want!" phase. But I've reviewed my goals, and i'm back on track. I'm going to train for another 5K, since that was a really great motivator for my exercising. I've found a more difficult running plan that takes me on longer runs and incorporates interval training. My (wonderful) husband also brought up our stationary bike out of the basement, so I'll have a great cross-training and rainy day activity. I had been doing work out videos. I find the videos are great for strength training, but nothing I do inside gives me the cardiovascular equivalent of running 4 miles. Anyway, biking is supposed to be great for a runner's knees since it strengthens the quads, so that's another motivator. I got inspired watching The Biggest Loser last night, and I just jumped on and rode for 20 minutes!
If it's not obvious, I've decided to focus on exercise rather than dieting. Exercise makes me feel good and good about myself. Dieting does not. Dieting makes me feel restricted and guilty. So I'm going to focus on all of the good foods that I can eat, and that make me feel good. Like high fiber stuff, fruits, and whole grains. Hopefully with this mindset, I'll enjoy the things that bring something positive to my diet so much, that I won't desire the things that bring nothing good to my diet.
When I get below 140, I'm going to reward myself with a new digital scale, since mine now is a spring scale, and I think it's a little heavy.
