    Added the 330 calories to my food log - now time to salvage the rest of the day! I can still do this! But note to myself - I sure could have used 330 calories in a much better way!

    I just got back from a 50 minute walk in a heavy snowfall. It was crazy fun! I challenge every one in the mountains of Colorado to get out there and enjoy the spring snow befor it's gone!

    Joan, I'm new to this thread over the past 3 days or so, but it has been really helpful. I completely understand what you mean about staying on track for 3 days then losing it. We revert habits rather than willpower when things get stressful. I'm trying to think of other things to do than eat now...

    Today,
    - work out hard this morning at the gym in class- DONE despite poor sleep
    - Avoid sweets- NOT done, BUT, I did stay within my calorie goal for the day.

    So, I learned that 1. the sweets did not sit well with me after I ate them, I only felt more hungry, 2. I can still have sweets, but stay within goal and have reasonable lunches and dinners.

    What helped me avoid totally overindulging: having only a few sweets available to me. I bought 2 cookies out at lunch, when they were gone, they were gone. period. generally, i buy like a box of cookies or an entire tin of ice cream at the grocery store. So, when I get home it's so hard to stop! I wouldn't have stopped eating these cookies today if I had had more of them. So, glad I didn't. AND, from this mistake or error, I learned something useful that I can do next time. So, it's not really a setback :).

    Rae - you are sure not alone. I can do just great for 3-4 days, then have a day where I am totally off again. So discouraging. I think I keep losing the same 3 lbs over and over again. But --- as long as we keep trying, we will win!

    Yep, me too. YIKES

    I seem to be on the up 1 down 1 up 1 down 1 elevator weight wise. I know this will not last forever, but it's hard not to use it as an excuse. After all, if eating well isn't working...... But, I am not going to let this defeat me this time. If I keep doing the right things (at least most of the time anyway) I know someday I will win.

    Just for Today 3/25
    1. log every bite :)
    2. get in 40 mins cardio :)
    3. do 5 mins meditation :) I keep forgetting

    I have a great NSV. Yesterday I was super grumpy, for no apparent reason. Usually when this happens, I turn to food to make me feel better. We all know it doesn't. Somehow, I made it through the day yesterday without overindulging! I even went to the gym to do my 40 minutes of cardio. I was trying to come up with all sorts of excuses not to, but gave those up and went :)

    1. log every bite
    2. gym for strength training (do not worry that you might look foolish, at least you are trying)
    3. 5 mins meditation

    Had a great weigh-in today. I have been super meticulous all week on my eating and trying to get in anywhere from 1-2 hours of cardio a day. I haven't been eating back my exercise calories, but once I finish this weight loss challenge at work (which ends 5/1/15), I'm going to start putting some in. I can always use more protein and less carbs. I'm a carbs kinda girl.
    Anyway I lost since my last weigh in last week when I gained 1.6 lbs and weighed 171 lbs and this week I weighed 164.4, which was a 6.6 lbs loss. A killer week to be sure, I was sick last week and eating everything and it's brother and I think, part of this was water weight, so I think I will be back to 2 lbs next week.

    Anyway, Just for today:
    1) Get in another 30-60 minutes of cardio this afternoon or tonight
    2) Stay at or under my 1200 cal
    3) Get in 6-8 glasses of water
    4) Get in some crochet time tonight. Didn't get any done last night.
    5) Take it one day at a time.

    Everyone have a great day and keep coming back and posting!!!
