Popping in again to use tracker. Making a concerted effort not to get into bad habits during lockdown, well diet wise anyway,
! Shopping habits have changed completely and my old routine of going to my lovely local Waitrose in Stirling most days comprised of a quick shop and then a lovely cuppa and a treat has of course had to end. The upside of online shopping is avoiding the treats and low carb is so much easier when you don’t have the stuff in the house!
I am not doing many fast days now, but I do a daily window, not eating before lunch and strictly no snacking after dinner around 7p.m. I do have a daily treat of a small piece of chocolate or fudge (heaven) as a “pudding” after dinner but otherwise meals are salads with nuts or maybe an omelette, and dinner is fish or chicken usually, with plenty of veggies. I am still eating plenty of olive oil, and have got a passion for fermented food. I make kefir most days, and home made sauerkraut and kimchi, fermented beets and carrots etc. go into my salads and side dishes. Loads of parsley and dill in my veg patch, so that gets used too.
I found it difficult at first to cut out bread, which I love, but I still have it now and again, try to have sour dough, which hits the spot without making me crave the whole loaf! I am happy with my current weight, but I am aware that if I return to carby food I return to being overweight. It’s a balance, but happy to say not too difficult now.
Wow! Listen to me rattling on..,..some things don’t change
A big hello to anyone out there, especially all the old timers who used to kick up a storm on here, eh, Bean?
Off to the tracker now.
