So yesterday, my first step was to weigh myself, which I hadn't done in several months. Getting on the scale and facing the truth was my first step. I then downloaded the app I had used to track my food & count protein/fat/carbs. I charged my fitbit (wearing it now) and re-read the journal I kept for the first six months of my journey. All of this was to get my head back in the game & give me the tools I needed to be successful.
Now, for the food. Though I do eat primarily protein, I have to recognize that I've been eating more carbs & sugar than I did the first year after surgery. Today I'll have greek yogurt & fruit for breakfast, protein shake for snack, hard boiled eggs for snack, cheese stick, homemade low salt chicken noodle soup for lunch, and then sushi minus rice for dinner, and a protein bar for evening snack. That'll be 1280 calories -- 35% protein and 27% carbs. I think that's too low for protein %, should be higher. Any other thoughts/tips? Thank you so much.
