Thyme Flies's Dagbog, 19 jan 21

I was heartened to speak to a health care provider today; about my diet, plans, discussion etc. Very useful - enervating! Re-energized from revisiting goals/plans I made last year. Back to basics. I should have re-read journal entries earlier to support me - that's why I wrote them after all. Taking stock is a worthwhile January activity. Where do you want to be come June?

This is from last FEBRUARY! - a good reminder to me!

I am so happy to have found this website. 'Back in the day' my dr would give me a diabetic diet sheet outlining 1000k per day (right)way before the internet - and now there is a useful, helpful resource to track food intake, exercise etc. Wow! To supplement the information here I researched the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) of protein, carbs, fat, fibre, sugar; it has helped me get a good handle on where I was way over the RDI - made me think critically of fats for sure. This diet - or new enlightened eating has to be a life change - so not a diet at all, just a reset of paying attention and using new found knowledge - not a punishment for years of overeating. Yes, I still plan to have treats once in a while, still go out for supper when the opportunity presents - yes, I do feel it will present challenges - but I'm up for it! Long may this attitude continue! I have a lot to lose - literally and the first 50lb goal is only the beginning.
