Stuck mostly to yesterday's goals - I had a whole sandwich at Panera instead of half and half a salad. I consciously made the decision to do that, so I'm happy with the decision. And I went to sleep at 10!! It was because I was exhausted, but it was still 10!

Well, I was devastated by the bag of caramels at my bedside last night. Ate 15 of them sucker, which was 480 calories, so it blew my calories for the day. At least it was only 15, brought the rest of the bag to work with me this morning and gave them to my secretary!!!! Didn't get up to walk this am, going to set my alarm in the morning! But did get a 4 mile walk in yesterday with 1.4 of it jogging! Plan to do the same today!! I always tell myself today is a new day. Put in some prayers for all of those on the religious pilgrimage that died overseas! So horrible.
Just for today:
1) Stay in my calorie range
2) Drink 8 glasses of water
3) Walk/jog 4 miles after work
4) Be kinder to myself and others.
5) Remember to be thankful for what I have on a daily basis0 -

2. Focus on my calorie goals one meal at a time.

No, actually I usually post in the late evening befor I go to bed, but not too late. I guess it depends on time zones because to me it looks like you posted at 4 am. I posted at 11 pm from Colorado.
I have been focusing on each meal for about two weeks now and it has really helped me. I am eating no more than 300 for breakfast, 300 for lunch and 600 for dinner and if I have a little left over from each, it adds up to a nice little evening snack.0 -
@47Jacqueline All chiropractors are sadists. It's part of the job description.
@Exquisitern NSV giving away the caramels.
I find it helps not to have any food in the bedroom. It is too much temptation.
Rocked it yesterday.

Tough day. Expedited my return for aging parent issues.
Was under my calorie goal.
Didn't work out.
Didn't express my wellness mantra
