What I ate today in a calorie deficit 2/3

Today’s weigh in- up 1 lb. 😖

Today progress was horrible. It seems like I ate the entire kitchen. I also tried to make chocolate covered strawberries but for some reason the chocolate looked horrible. Pretty sure it was the brand I was using. Well they looked so bad it was either eat them or just throw them out and I didn’t want to be wasteful. I went way over my calories. It’s to the point where I won’t be weighing myself for a few days.

Breakfast- cereal bar and protein shake

Lunch- banana and pretzels

Snack- make Valentine’s Day cookies and ate two of them.

Dinner- had leftover pizza casserole. Also made homemade cheese bread and ate a huge slice of it.

Dessert- had two homemade Reece cups

... Read moreMaintaining a calorie deficit can be challenging, especially when cravings hit hard. It's common to face ups and downs in weight loss journeys, with delicious distractions like homemade Valentine’s Day cookies and pizza casserole. Navigating food choices is crucial in achieving health goals. For those exploring similar paths, consider tracking your meals to identify patterns. Balancing nutritious options with occasional treats can create a sustainable approach. Remember to listen to your body and adjust your calorie intake based on hunger signals. Incorporating more fruits and vegetables can also help manage cravings while still enjoying satisfying meals. Engaging with a supportive community can provide motivation and accountability, making the journey less daunting. Whether you're a beginner or experienced at calorie counting, sharing experiences can foster encouragement and success. Embrace each step in your journey with positivity and awareness.
