I've decided I'm going to do weekly weigh ins. I first thought of doing it Friday, but if I move it to Wednesday, I'll feel more accountable over the weekend. I struggle most with eating and logging what I eat at My Fitness Pal on the weekends when I'm not at work and have the structure of breakfast, lunch, and dinner planned out for me. So Wednesday weigh day it is.
These weekly weigh ins I've decided I'm going to do something different from last time. I'm actually going to post a picture of the scale from my weigh in. I've gone back and forth about this so many times. But, you know what? It's just a number. A number that doesn't (shouldn't) define me. A number that defines me too much in my head. To overcome this fear of other people knowing exactly how much I weigh and letting that number define me, I'm going to post it. And it's terrifying.
This time around, again, I am asking for your support.
I haven't decided on a goal weight specifically yet. I think I will know when I get there. I'm going to be experimenting with some new lower calorie/carb recipes that hopefully I can blog about over on Jacques (yes I know I haven't posted there in months).
Anyway, below this morning's picture of my starting weight. I haven't decided if I'm going to do a weigh in this week since Wednesday is only two days away...

| Starting weight - 258.2 |
My daily calorie limit on My Fitness Pal is 1,610. My breakfast this morning consisted of a fried egg, lemon chobani, and coffee with a splash of cream - 274 calories total. Lunch is a Lean Cuisine and grapes. I touched on it last Friday, but dinner is going to be all about portion control. Also, making healthier dinners is better for not only me, but Sean as well. This time around, I'm not going to restrict any foods since I feel that is setting me up for failure. I'm going to go about this from a portion control aspect.
Come along with me on my journey or just watch from the sidelines.
