I am expressing gratitude for the beauty of the geese as they migrate back into our world. Love to hear them honk as they fly over.
Meh, over my calorie goal thanks to a dinner out where I didn't make good choices or exercise portion control. Did skip the chips, desert and drinks.
Expressed my wellness mantra.
Worked out for 98 minutes including a 3.25 mile walk at a 16:19/mile pace
Being patient on the road is a work in progress...
For today:
I will finish the week strong and stay well under my calorie goal. Don't over indulge in any single food.
I will express my wellness mantra out loud, twice.
I will work out for 90 minutes giving me 6+ hours for the week.
I will continue to put things in perspective while driving.
I am expressing gratitude for our favorite mountain restaurant. While I could have made better choices, the beautiful drive up and true friends are always good for our souls.

Yesterday, 10/10
1. Low carb
I am not hungry, which is a really good thing, but I am craving carbs like crazy. Getting my water in though! But my hubby and I did split a bag of microwave popcorn last nite. Calorie wise that was OK, but not carb wise!
2. Record everything I eat
3. NO sugar
Sunday, 10/01
1. Drink lots of water.
2. limit my soda to just 1. My doctor told me that diet soda actually will make me crave sweets. I am trying to limit what I drink, but I do notice that if I have one in the evening, even though it is caffeine free, that I start to crave something sweet. So just 1 diet pepsi this morning to get me going. I am not a coffee drinker.
3. NO SUGAR --- been really doing good with this, so here's to another day of sugar free0 -

I am expressing gratitude for trail walk Sundays. Love getting out into nature, experiencing new routes and spending time with my lovely bride.0 -
Made it through the long weekend relatively unscathed, I guess. Logged as well as I could being out of town. Meetings, dinners, wine tours. Got in a ton of exercise, though, so that helped. Saturday was the family over for a BBQ. Then Sunday took some friends who helped us move out to eat. Ate close to maintenance Sat-Sun. Glad it's over and I can get back to my schedule. I'm not a very social person so four days in a row of that kind of stuff is just exhausting.
JFT, 10/12

2. Stay within calorie limits
3. Insanity Max 30 workout (month 2, week 2)

I'm not sure which part of this post is my favorite: the fact that your daughter baked your mom a german chocolate birthday cake from scratch, OR the fact that you don't feel guilty for having a slice GOOD for you both! 0
