I haven’t been doing my Lifestyle entries in a few weeks, and it is starting to bug me. A few things I have noticed:
- I am not eating as well as I should – in particular my evening meal
- I have begun to feel tired in the afternoons again – again due to poor dietary choices
- I have been skipping exercise days (usually only exercising every other day)
- This past week I have cheated with candies for the first time since starting the South Beach diet (chocolate covered peanuts and almonds at the movie theatre a couple times)
- I have still lost weight. I was hovering at around 205 lbs for almost two weeks, and this past week I have dropped almost 5 lbs.
My lack of journalling will not continue. I need to start again to keep myself on track. It is a good self-check to make sure I am eating enough, and the right types of foods, as well as keeping track of my exercise and fitness levels.
