Restart Maybe or just Rethinking Fitness

So its been a little while since I've posted on this blog and in that time Ive let myself go and gained maybe 10lbs to weigh about 125. Not that bad considering what could have happened but certainly feeling like I'm at my heaviest weight ever. Over the past month I've started to be more active and was successful for two weeks with a steady workout. I then stopped gained a couple and now i'm back on track.
I've been looking at my current eating habits/ activity level trying to find a balance in it all. I've learned that because dinner is the biggest meal of my day regardless of who makes it, I consume way too many calories during the day to properly account for the calorie binge. I've learned that eating less during the day and feeling a bit hungry allows me to eat to satiety at dinner without feeling guilty. If I overindulge at dinner portion wise I don't feel like I blew my diet completely. The hardest thing is finding more filling foods that aren't carb based. I do need to eat more fruits and veggies.
That said, I'm weel on my way to havbing more energy and feeling good about myself. Motivaion wise I'm doing it to not feel so sorry for myself and be more active. Since planet fitness is so cheap a month and close by i'm working toward running there and back to get in my gym time.
