today was weigh in day for me and I have gained 3 pounds. I know I haven't been sticking to my eating plan that well but I didn't think that it would effect me like this. Has anyone ever tried a food diary? I am thinking about trying one and would love to hear if it has worked for anyone else. I am PMSing and know that my body is carrying some extra water so I am not totally freaking out yet.
Any Advice?
Hey Molly!
ReplyDeleteYes I have used a food diary before and it does work! It just really helps to visually see what you are eating. That was during the time I was at my healthiest in my life and that was a big part of it. I have also read a lot of research that backs up the use of a food diary and the benefits it has! Maybe that should be a new goal of our group..
We can all start a food diary and report how we are doing with it. That's another great way to hold ourselves accountable : )
Thanks Jessica! I think that I will start one tomorrow. That would be a great tool for our group.
ReplyDeleteMolly, don't freak! Were we doing this when I started Shredding? I kept gaining it all back, but I was gaining muscle AND dealing w/water retention and all that. I just kept at it and it leveled out. It will for you too unless you let it get you psyched out.
ReplyDeleteI love the MFP app on my phone. It's also online and the full name is myfitnesspal.com. This is where I recorded all of my food intake and it really helped me stay on track. In fact I think I'll start it again next week.
Keep your chin up - you're doing awesome!
