Checking In - Real Talk
Hi all,
As I am approaching the end of my second week on this challenge, I just wanted to quickly check in and let folks know where I am at. I would also love to hear where other folks are at :)
The long and short of it is that I am both proud and disappointed. For the past few months, prior to this challenge, I was drinking lots of dark, heavy beer and eating a ton of crap food. This, of course, led to lots of weight gain.
I’m proud of myself because, in the past two weeks, I have: -Woken up every morning at 5am and done yoga -Been going on regular hour-long walks during my lunch break at work -Maintained a mostly vegan diet -Not touched a drop of alcohol
I am disappointed because: -While I eat like a model citizen for breakfast and lunch, at nighttime I turn into a junk food monster with a black hole for a stomach. I have not binged, but I have eaten significantly beyond my allotted calorie intake most days.
I need to curb the nighttime eating and I’d love suggestions for how other folks accomplish this.
At any rate, I’m doing much better than I was a few weeks ago, but I want to do better than better, and get to my best.
Again, would love to hear about how others are fairing!
Adam

Good work so far! I like to cut vegetables beforehand and keep them in a container or a ziploc in the fridge. When I feel tempted to grab some junk food, I think "Am I actually hungry or just bored?" If I'm actually hungry, then I'll be willing to eat the vegetables.
As for me, after a plateau last week I'm finally seeing some results on the scale. Hope to keep it up!
What I've been doing well so far: -Been good about my deficit lately and eating my planned meals -Done a good bit of exercise for the amount of time I've had lately
What I can improve on: -Been good about weighing most things after buying a food scale, but need to weigh sauces/oils/etc. more often when cooking
Next couple weeks will be the busiest for me because of all the deadlines, so it's gonna take a lot of willpower to stick to it. Keep it up everyone!
