Will Restart Diet On February 12, 2016

I went off diet (see previous post) for a multitude of reasons. In the past I ballooned up immediately. This time I thought I might maintain my weight by taking garcinia cambogia three times/day.

For about a week my weight stayed at 228. Then one morning I got on the scales and it read 234 lb. 12 lb. in three weeks. No doughnuts, cheesecake, beer, pancakes...and still I increased my mass by 5 %.  So discouraging.

Weight Log Update

Should I even record my weight when off-diet or just weight and start a new weight log? Despite the rich foods, I am continuing garcinia cambogia so I have not tossed my weight obsession to the winds.(1/26/2016) I am adding Garcinia Cambogia to regimen but everything else will be pretty much the same.

Why I Fail On My Diet

1. Lack of planning.

2. Someone puts something tasty in front of me.

3. Work-related dining.

4. I hate to waste food and will sometimes eat something instead of throwing it out.

5. Related to 1, I sometimes wait too long to eat and when I finally face the inevitable, I overeat.

Off-Diet January January 20, 21

And it looks like January 22, 23 too.

I went way off-diet on January 20 due to a hectic worknight. January 21 was also a difficult evening. Had to eat on the run each time.

I could go back on diet for January 22 but I am scheduled to attend a fund raiser January 23 at Sons of Italy. Bocce and great Italian food.

Sunday January 24 I will cook a turkey that is brining in the fridge as this is being typed. Oh the challenges of extreme dieting.

Food Log: January 19, 2016

I awoke with a massive headache. Funny how we can recognize what might have caused headache given to its severity and subjective feel. Lots of practice on my part, I suppose. This one felt like a "not enough protein the day before" headache.

I drank black coffee and ate a navel orange. Shortly thereafter I ate eight oz. roast beef with mayonnaise, a serving of Kimchi.

Around 1 PM I ate 8 oz. shrimp with cocktail sauce, a serving of Kimchi.

2 PM: Approximately 2 oz. whole sunflower seeds.

Dinner: Small serving of roasted chicken with roasted vegetables.

Evening snack: 1 oz. pretzels, pear.
