OK, so this year I'm done with Jenny Craig. I lost 20 pounds and kept it off for a year. My counselor was awesome. But I got so sick of that food. Also, it shipped in a non-recyclable container. I did like that fact that it had more protein and less fat than Lean Cuisine, but I was so tired of it.
Then I gained 5 pounds in Ireland. I never took it off. Then I gained another 5 between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
I'm back exercising, so that's good. However, I just had to stop only 15 minutes into my workout due to low blood sugar. My calorie intake was sufficient but I have ALWAYS had to eat a Luna protein bar (They're hideous, by the way, but they do the trick.) before a workout to avoid this, even while on Jenny.
Anyway, I know that portion control is my main problem. It's usually not the kind of food, even though with the holidays, that did play a part this time.
So this week, instead of eating an entire Which Wich sandwich, I will just eat 3/4 of it. If I go out, I will visually calculate what portion is reasonable, and then separate that from the rest and just eat that. I will still eat all my snacks like I normally do, but I will cut down on the amount I eat at meals this week.
More later.
