In my last blog entry I stated I was done for now, but I couldn't just walk away.

I am adopting a new strategy by attempting to only focus on logging food and activities, reading articles and posts, and journaling. To that end, I left all of the groups I had joined. I'm not a very social person to begin with and never really felt that comfortable in them...just me being weird, I never had any bad experiences with anyone.

So let's look at at how I am doing:

Logging--not great. I did log a little but not consistent enough..this is a new week

Reading-I read a few of the articles and spent a bit of time in the Panic Room, which I think is probably one of the best boards on here. It does repeat common themes, but they are common because they happen to so many of us. Also love that I don't have to go through a page of "How... and What..." posts to find something relevant.

Journaling-Not bad. I started off pretty descent with private journaling, just taking a moment to list out the positive things that I did the day before. Kind of fell flat, but started it up again today. Also thought I would try to blog a bit more.

The week is starting off pretty bad. I sat down and logged the food I ate yesterday and I don't think I missed anything. I was over on everything...I recorded 3791 calories and 7484 sodium. I wasn't active yesterday either due to hardly being able to move. I installed a wood floor in one of our rooms on Saturday, and I'm not use to that level of physical activity.

Positive of starting off bad? I have a new floor, I'm able to move a bit better today, and I am determined not to go into grazing mode again this week.
