So, 2 days in and down 4 lbs. Mostly water weight, I'm sure, but I'll take it for now. Found that one of the bigger reasons for the huge weight spite (not discounting Covid) was the fact that I take a container of snacks with me while I'm driving for Lyft. Cheez-its, peanuts, almonds, rice cracker mix, fritos and a few other random things. Mix it up so there's a variety, but end up mindlessly munching on it in between rides. Mostly carbs, which doesn't help. Averages about 2 cups a day, then come home from work and munch some more. Only way to go with this is continually UP!
I've now just allowed myself the recommended serving size of, say, Cheez-its and no more. ONLY 2 pecan shortbread cookies for dessert. Drink more water. I need to keep this up, so very determined.
Had a health checkup (once a year, free through United Healthcare/AARP, they come to the house), the nurse said for someone my age, I only need between 1200 and 1600 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight. If I had to guess, I'd say I was probably kicking in 3-4KC a day without thinking about it, hence the huge gain. Mindless eating...it'll get you every time!
