1. food planned for next two weeks -done over the weekend, don't have to worry about it :-)
2. ran out to Publix yesterday, but there was no food items brought, just cleaning supplies (and a cute light-up ghost for my desk at work)
3. avoiding restaurants until the weekend, although I have a wicked craving for BBQ.
4. Not a work weekend, don't count.
So far so good. I will try to avoid further trips to the food stores until the weekend, avoid restaurants, and limit other unnecessary expenses. If this helps me to cut $100-200 from my monthly budget, it would be amazing...

Weekly
1. Pre plan & Prep Weekly Menu -Done!
2. Bake/Cook one low carb dessert a week -- Big ole' fail on that one.
10/13 & 10/14
1. Log daily! - Done!
2. Stay under 25 net carbs - Done!
3. Drink 80 oz of water - Done! ( For some reason I drank way more yesterday, I filled up my cup 6 times at work, plus the water I drank during a 3 hour night meeting)
I think this is really helping. It makes me continuously think about my goals every day separately rather than a long time frame. I am much better with short term goals. Long term ones get vague for me.

The chiropractor really helped with my SI Joint problems (which are apparently a result of me using my strong upper leg muscles for lots of things when I ought to be using my glutes), so I'm backing off yoga until the right muscles are firing for the typical poses I was doing.
I've been over on my calories a bunch, but frankly staying under par on calories is not a huge concern of mine. I'm FAR more concerned with being under on carbs, and I slipped on that. I've avoided the leftover anniversary cake I made (LCHF but not as LC as I prefer). Yesterday I was almost purely carnivore without even trying, and that was a proud moment.
