    4. Take it easy and not push it. Let my body heal. :)
    5. Go to bed early and actually go to sleep early this time. ;) Well, I'm in bed but I'm playing on my iPad so.....kinda? .

    Yesterday's commitments -

    - Log everything I eat :| Not added dinner yet but will do so later
    - No snacks outside meals :)
    - No alcohol :)
    - Choose light option at lunch :/ Didn't manage this one... though I did completely leave the rice portion that came with it which is good
    - Stay within calories :/ Lunch made this impossible, however I did make up by having a small dinner so may not have gone over by too much
    - Exercise class after work :)
    - Complete CBT exercise before class :| Didn't do this but I did do something else productive which will free up time to do this today
    - Take time out throughout day for appreciation :/ Er, forgot to do this. Hard to remember....
    - Focus on key priorities and don't allow workload to overwhelm me :| Didn't get overwhelmed but mainly due to not spending any time at desk (meetings, meetings, meetings....) and hence didn't get any work done either!

    Today's commitments -

    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks outside meals
    - No alcohol
    - Choose light option at lunch
    - Stay within calories with mini deficit

    - Meditate
    - Take time out throughout day for appreciation
    - Focus on key priorities and GET SOME OF THEM DONE!

    JFT I will measure and track everything :)
    when I reach for food outside of meal times I will stop to think about why I am doing it, hunger, emotion, habit, exhaustion :) - but I forgot simple greed as a reason
    look for an alternative. :|

    JFT I will measure and track everything

    limit consumption of Halloween candy to no more than 6 pieces (and I already had 2 for breakfast, so only 4 left).
    I think I succeeded yesterday. I may have eaten 5 more pieces. If I was smart I would have left the wrappers out so I could keep count. Despite struggling for the last few months, I found out this morning that I regained less than my husband and currently weigh less than him (which hasn't happened very often in our relationship). I would like to keep weighing less than him, so I'm hoping this work for some new motivation/inspiration. I know, I know being happy at someone else's struggles is not nice, but it's a nice feeling all the same.

    track all food :frowning: FAIL I started ok but then started slipping and then the mindless munchies took rampant control.
    No Capes Workout nope, I did some other chores in preparation for the dogs coming over for the weekend and then started watching the world series.
    15 minute walk at lunch :)
    sweep/mop first floor :)
    so JFT 11/2/16
    -Track all food.
    - brush & floss before bed
