Also, Sparkpeople.com. Just found this recipe for low-carb tortillas that I've got to try: https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=3452540

Day 29- website/apps

I am an addict of pinterest y'all! I think all my recipes I've used these last few months have come from there. They have tons of "keto" recipes, which I use because of CD. But I also make tons of other options that I can substitute for GF products. Best part is I can build the recipe in Myfitnesspal! So I input the ingredients and servings, and it calculates everything for me. I always get nervous when a serving is close to 400 calories... but then I remember that's for 1 cup of food. I'm lucky if I can ever eat more than 1/4 a cup! And yes... I will serve everyone so I can know the exact portion configuration. Then weigh my food so I know I don't get more than 3 oz on my plate. Then of course fitbit, as I have an ionic and it's amazing. Plus it syncs with myfitnesspal! Those are my 3 recommendations lol

Honestly the only app I frequent is Baritastic. I love that app. My only frustration is that when I scan a food, chances are at least one of the macros are wrong, and they are still missing a lot of items. I am constantly sending in pics of nutrition labels for them to update their database. They should pay me.

OK, overcoming obstacles. You saw the bad section of my pantry and I need to stay out of it. If I could get rid of every item of junk food in this house, I would. But, it's just part of my journey that I will have to rely on willpower instead. Don't really discuss it much here but my kids have severe food insecurity from early on in their lives before they came to us. It's important to keep comforting Snacks available where they can see them and access them. They rarely rely on them anymore but trashing them isn't an option unfortunately. But, I can still do this!
So, the hard time for me is evening, after dinner, after the kids are in bed. I usually watch TV or get on my computer to relax and for some reason it just triggers my snacking monster. SOOoo, I'm switching up my routine. I've decided to make the time after the kids go to bed my self-care time. If I want to watch TV, I need to do it earlier in the day. I think it will give me a little mental boost and help me sleep better too. Shower, exfoliation, moisturizing, facial mask, relaxing music, herbal tea. I'm starting right now!

Brilliant idea. Evening is my danger time too. After being busy all day, sitting in front of telly is a trap for me.

I love weightloss surgery YouTubers, especially :
- Bandedwendy (her archives are a gold mine of tips)
- Little Kansas Kitty (come for the weight loss journey, stay for the jogging and optimism)
- Minnie Me in TN (although she's been going through a tough time lately)
- SmilinsShrinking (incredibly inspirational)
- runnyrunny999 (cooks Japanese food and is compulsive viewing)

I really only use My Fitness Pal. It's great for letting me know how little Protein I get if I don't push myself. It also keeps me honest about days I eat too much and days I eat too little.

#29. I use my fitnesspal (i like that you can adjust the macros and scan the barcodes on food) and the fitbit app. I recently downloaded Diet bet and joined a game. Hopefully it will give me the kick in the pants I need to stay motivated and get as close to goal as possible before my plastics in early spring.

Not really into weight loss websites---unless you count these forums!

DIET: My Fitness Pal

EXERCISE: Muscleandstrength.com

SCALE: Renpho app

Muscle and strength is a little over the top with the meathead content but it has great beginner routines and you can look up different exercises and watch a video on how to do it properly. It enables me to feel confident when I'm trying to switch up my routine.

My goal was to quit grazing all day. Haven't been too successful. However, I am better about writing it all down!
