I saw that we didn't have a new tracker thread so I am starting one. I know I have been really really bad at checking in...... and because of it my food choices have sucked. How do we feel about making the tracker threads 2 weeks long? Participation seems to be lower lately.
Simple idea, just post what you've eaten that day!
Introduce yourself by answering any or all of these questions. Then feel free to add your tracker when it's convenient for you. If you have already answered these questions in a previous week, don't worry about answering all of them again! Goal of the Week, Challenge of the Week and How can we help you can be answered every week if you wish!
Name: (user or real, whatever you feel comfortable with)
Location: (share as much as you feel comfortable sharing, ex: I am in the states, so I will share my home state)
Current Plan: (Points Plus? Momentum?)
Current Weight: (or last weigh in)
Lifetime Goal: (this one is easy! If you're unsure, don't feel pressured to fill it in. And if you're curious about what a "healthy BMI" for you is, check out the back of your weight tracker from meetings, or use some google power!)
Trigger Foods: (just list them and feel free to add why)
Goal for the Week: (you set a goal for yourself, self explanatory)
Challenge for the Week: (YOU decide what you want to challenge yourself with. And if you want to skip this, feel free!)
How can we help You this week?: (anything we can do to support and check in on you, etc. post it!)

124chicksinger - in reply to your reply in the other thread. I do absolutely do better with a challenge :-/ I've been off the rails lately because of the lack of one. I'm giving myself a one week challenge to eat paleo and get to the gym 3 times (more weights!) ... I'm hoping it helps this week.
Well this is the first time I have posted on this thread so here goes

How can we help You this week?: I would appreciate any advice you guys have about starting the points plus plan. I'd also be interested in hearing whether the points plus plan has been successful for you guys.
Well here goes
Breakfast: tea & egg beaters with salsa
Lunch: ? going out with daughter no promises
Dinner: homemade chili (with pinto beans and tvp)
Snacks: my veggie bag, celery, carrot, roasted cauliflower, tomatoes
Dinner was chinese food, mostly veg, and no rice. I didn't want it; the family did. Then, I made a no pudge brownie in the microwave, and I realize I don't even like that, so that will go off the menu.
Afterwards tho, cuz I wanted something that I enjoy, I had 1 tablespoon of EVOO with spices in it and 1 more slice of wheat bread. <---- becoming a habit I would like to break, but I'm craving it.
I had no fruit today. I had no dairy today, except for a tablespoon of yogurt to make the brownie.
It is just an off day, being home and obsessing over getting everything in order, cleaned up, cleaned out, and still painting. When we sold our last home 13 years ago, I didn't mind cleaning and painting. Now, I'm resenting it. This isn't a happy time, its a bad market, and each day is more painful than the last.
I noticed that you said you eat chia seeds-- I've heard they're supposed to be good for you but I've never tried them. Do you like them? Do they have any weight loss benefits?

I'm not the OP, but I like to use chia seeds, too. Here's a little something I gleaned from the 'net.
"Chia seeds are an excellent source of dense nutrition with their healthy omega oils, easily digestible protein, and antioxidants. In fact, chia is so high in essential fatty acids that it contains eight times more omega-3s than salmon, gram for gram. Also full of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals (especially calcium and iron), chia has much in common with flaxseed, with the distinct advantage that its natural antioxidants make it’s delicate healthy fats more nutritionally stable. Research has linked this valuable food as a being beneficial for many health issues, including diabetes, hypoglycemia, celiac disease, and lowering cholesterol."
What does your tracker say 10-10 to 10-24
