    Day 2-

    Went back and logged last night's activities. As usual over calories. Need to do better.

    But hey, you logged, which is the main point -- so great job! You can tighten things up as you go.

    Thanks guys!! Today I started pre logging my dinner and added food throughout the day. Keeping a running tally in my head is one of my down falls I am noticing.
    Making better choices as a result today.

    Finished the day under, and practicing actual self control. I want to eat more but I know I am full. Started pre logging for tomorrow.

    Made a delicious rotisserie turkey breast buffalo salad that will be lunch tomorrow.

    Day 3-

    Most of my morning is pre logged. I am noticing pre-logging helps with the decisions of what to eat.

    Day 4-

    Yesterday got ugly at the end... I logged it all though. Hope for a better today. Sigh.

    New day! Start each day good and then if it falls apart at the end it still isn't a total loss - just think if your morning hadn't started out so great and then that awesome salad for lunch...

    I like pre-logging. I try do that with my breakfast and lunch, but my dinner is more random been sporadic.( use to pre-logging religiously.....sigh)

    You got the logging done, and that's what counts right now. The rest will come.

    Thanks guys for the words :)

    Day 5- 6/25-

    Ran around all day yesterday busy with my daughter's graduation, barely had time to eat or log. Logged everything this morning and was way under calories. Now I am starving this morning lol

    Also lost 1.2 lb since AHA started. Updated my ticker to the higher weight that I have been denying.

    LOL at being way under! I love that you're getting honest about everything. You can't move forward until you know where you are.

    Updating that darn ticker is hard. I did it the first of June and added almost 30 pounds back! But now I get to see it go down again and that is encouraging.

    Seriously! To see my little ticker go back to the middle was definitely a wtf moment. Thankfully school is out for the kids and the gym can be had again by me lol.

    yep - the middle is where mine went to but now I am going to watch it go again. How I got so out of control I don't really know. It started with a new scale at Christmas that was 6 pounds higher than my old one. I guess I used that excuse way to long.

    Day 6- 6/26- Finally finished graduation festivities. Was under yesterday, still need to log dinner. Logged a loss of another 0.6 pound. Seeing the scale go in the right direction is encouraging.

    Today started the day at McD.... got a grilled chicken sandwich instead of my usual burger, so I can have the calories to drink later.

    Day 7-8.... Yeah I fell off and didn't feel like logging. I am gonna start over.

    Day 1- 6/29- Went back to the gym today for day 1 of 531 lifting program. Also played tennis afterwards. Felt good to get activity.
    Logged everything like a good girl.

    randomtai Posts: 9,003 Member
    I am having serious DOMS.... My internet was out these past few days and couldn't check in too much since I was at max data on the phone too lol.

    Day 3- 7/1- Logged everything... Had a few drinks.
    Day 4- 7/2- Logged everything up to the end when I said "eff it". Didn't log drinks (had 2) didn't log dinner (at least it was baked chicken).

    Day 5- 7/3- So far so good... going to the gym for some iron therapy. Benching and squats are on the agenda. Then a date night tonight.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement and stuffs. <3
