Reflect upon my practice

In education, we have cycles to how we teach. We plan, we teach, and we reflect. I think that would be good for this new journey. What worked last time and why didn't it stick?

The last time I lost all the weight, I was pretty much on a strict Keto diet. I counted macros and whatnot. I obsessed over every bite of food that went in my mouth. While that led to a great loss of weight in a short amount of time, it was not realistic to live on forever.

I do know that sugar and lots of carbs for me just does not work. But it's unrealistic to think that I will never have carbs. I just have to limit where possible. I know that at home, that will be easier because I can control what I purchase and keep in my reach.

However, not everyone in my home eats like I do so there are always going to be things I do not want to eat around the house. I must keep snacks and foods accessible to me that fit my eating habits now. A trip to Aldi yesterday yielded a much different-looking shopping cart! I grabbed items that fit within my eating plan that were both healthy and easy. 

My afternoon snack/lunch consisted of Halloumi Fries prepared in the air fryer, olives, and parmesan crisp, and two glasses of water. This held me nicely until dinner and it was all things I enjoy eating.

Dinner, I had sauerkraut and kielbasa. I used 1/3 of a link of kielbasa and sauteed until brown with 1/2 small onion and then added the sauerkraut until warm. I added a little stone-ground mustard for dipping. It was delicious!
