<h1 style="text-align: center;">RESULTS - feels - weekly</h1> <h1 style="text-align: center;">2016-08</h1> <h2>[WHAT]</h2> <ol> <li>] by Don Sagrott founder @ sospep.com - documenting the changes in FEELS after going on <a href="/view/article?id=5166" target="_blank">my DIET-sans-sucre</a></li> </ol> <h2>[WHY]</h2> <ol> <li>] to monitor the results of being on the DIET-no-sugar by recording how I feel VS just recording <a href="/view/article?id=5188" target="_blank">weights & measure</a></li> </ol> <h2>[WHERE]</h2> <ol> <li><strong>] READ THE FULL ARTICLE</strong></li> <ol> <li>] </li> </ol></ol> <h2>[WHEN]</h2> <ol> <li>] 2016-08</li> </ol> <h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2> <ol> <li><strong>[2016-08-01</strong><strong>] no cravings</strong></li> <ol> <li>] # # - today was a much better day, after a late lunch/early dinner wasnt really hungry for any dinner, so Didnt eat any. No cravings in the evening at all, felt full. Some watermelon as a<strong> last snack </strong>around 8pm except for 1 or 2 bites of chips shortly before bed. <strong><br /></strong></li> </ol> <li> <strong>[2016-08-04</strong><strong>] a bad day </strong></li> <ol> <li>] # # - after 3 very good days on the diet plan, <strong>today was a BAD day</strong>. Now ones first instinct might be to "sweep it under the carpet", maybe i won't write down that 2nd ice cream treat or perhaps I will "forget" about some of the other unworthy fooditems one had BUT</li> <li>] ... i think that <strong>the BETTER plan</strong> is to face it head on and <strong>ask yourself WHY ???</strong> For me, today started out ok, an early dinner ( which was excellent and very diet worthy) but then a few hours later, I started snacking on sunflower seeds (very salty ), so had an ice cream to wash down the salt and hours later I am wandering the aisles of the grocery story - snack hunting. I didn't even really want "chips" at first but I ended up with a bag. I did go to the store with the best of intentions ( last day to scoop up this weeks sale items) but ... temptation and alas - now - , the chips are almost gone and a 2nd ice cream treat too ..</li> <li>] Anyways, as per <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the plan</span>, I am not going to dwell on this failure, tommorow is a new day, what did i learn?</li> <li>] MAYBE its a <strong>'meal cadence'</strong> thing - today = very light breakfast, then and early dinner threw things off, BETTER = ] med breakfast, ] light lunch , ] med dinner ] snacks (healthier)</li> <li>] MAYBE I was <strong>just 'due'</strong> - I did have <strong>3 very good days in a row previous</strong> to today AND its been <strong>almost 20 days since the last recorded BAD day</strong> (07-17)</li> <li>] MAYBE I need <strong>"planned snacks"</strong> - that way you don't feel guilty about, an occasional (weekly/bi-weekly/ ) bag of chips, bowl of ice cream, etc ...</li> </ol> <li><strong>[2016-08-05</strong><strong>] another bad day, YES and NO</strong></li> <ol> <li>] # # - today is planned AYCE sushi day! Now,obviously this will be way over budget on calories, salt, sugar, ... Even if I can somewhat "offset" the dinner overbudget by eating and extra light breakfast, lunch and snacks, it still going to be "over budget" so to speak So, will be another BAD day right?</li> <li>] NOPE as per Diet-no-sugar policy ( see rewards-system) this does NOT count as a BAD day, although neither the SCALE or the TAPE dont understand 'policy</li> <li>] We will have to see how this plays out over the long term. IF I am NOT progressing ( aka losing #'s, "'s, feeling better) THEN I will likely have to re evaluate this policy</li> </ol> <li><strong>[2016-08-06</strong><strong>] a GOOD day ?</strong></li> <ol> <li>] # # - super monster burger and chips </li> </ol> <li><strong>[2016-08-08</strong><strong>] numbers and GOALS </strong></li> <ol> <li>] # # - Today is weigh in monday and I because I am using <span style="text-decoration: underline;">my blind weigh in strategy</span> I am starting to "get anxious" (aka worry) about knowing my numbers.
