    The weeks gotten better since the rough day I had on Weds. Making dinner for just one tonight, so I'm thinking of trying something creative. B)

    Ended up making dinner for my son too last night. Not what I planned but had a nice night hanging with him. Now that he's 18, those times don't come around as often.

    Gremlins got me yesterday. I over ate by 400 calories. I will plan better today.

    Yesterday was a bust. Today, my plan is to stay home and closely follow my meal plan. I burned 100 calories on the treadmill. My dog joined me on the treadmill for the entire walk. Today was her first day. The treadmill is 80 inches long, so she developed a nice pace. Afterward, her head was held high. She was quite proud of herself.

    Worked out hard over the weekend and I started the week working a trade show today. - Walked about 7 miles.

    Trade shows can be brutal... lotta walking, plenty of crummy food choices lurking and I always found the air in convention centers to be dehydrating. Hope it was productive for you, though.

    The show went well. Took the train to downtown Chicago, miles of walking & talking, little gremlin candy-givers crawling all over the place. Managed to stay strong, even rewarded myself with a little caramel corn on the train ride home and most importantly, business was very productive.

    A crazy couple of days for me with work. So busy, but a good busy. Haven't had much time to post but managed to keep on top of my logging and exercise.

    I'm glad I went back and looked at the beginning of this thread. I could use some daily accountability for some simple goals especially as I hit a busy season for the next several weeks. My goals
    1. Track every day even if it's bad
    2. Stay within calories
    3. Eat less sugary carbs

    It's been a great past couple weeks for me. I've been keeping my goals and also working out like a fiend. I can really feel the difference in my muscle strength and energy level.

    I'm ok with a draw for now so glad I've been tracking every day even if the choices aren't the best.. Still learn stuff by doing it.

    Going to really focus on deficit eating this week to see if I can get the scale starting to move down again. I've been in a plateau again. I have been trying to switch back and forth between losing weight and gaining muscle.

    I am just feeling raggedy and pretty much unmotivated, uninterested and uninspired.

    Bad news, I've still got a 20 pound gremlin hanging on to me that I need to shed...............................................
    that's bad news for him! The scale is starting to move again in my favor.
