Yesterday was a lost cause pretty early on. I actually learned a few things in my training class, and a sustained cognitive load tends to make me crave sugar and other carbohydrates. During lunch, I had a coffee, but I also had a couple of blondies (which were not worth it in terms of monetary cost or caloric load). After work, I stopped by HEB for mangoes (which I now am addicted to), but I also got some beef chili with beans, cherries, and some premade mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was an impulse buy, but it was the gooey white cheddar variety, so it was hard to resist (and I had seen it during a previous visit to the grocery store). So, for the day, my sugar and carbohydrate intake was far too high, so I gained a pound.

The trajectory of my daily weigh-ins is now on a very distinct upward path, so I’ve regressed in terms of my poor eating behaviors. As I mentioned yesterday, I just haven’t been very mindful at all lately about what I’m eating. I don’t know if I’m burned out on the weight loss thing, but I have to get back on track as I am far from my goal.

I need to get back to fasting at least two days per week. There’s too much wiggle room on days on which I eat (that slippery slope phenomenon keeps occurring). It seems like it would be easier to eat responsibly every day, but for some reason fasting two or three days per week seems to work better for me.

I don’t have much else and am pressed for time this morning, so I’ll need to end this post here.
