    If good weather continues I plan to power wash the brick side of my house. After 20 years the brick is looking blackish instead of reddish. Other than that, just regular day in day out stuff.

    BTW, I love movie popcorn! It's one of my binge foods.

    I look up the calories and fat in a small movie popcorn and I will probably forego it. I'm thinking about picking up some butter free popcorn from the grocery store.

    I adore popcorn and I do like it buttered. Don't have it often, fortunately there are some good "skinny" varieties. This weekend I am going to start some spring cleaning, cupboards, under the sinks etc. Not sure how far I get but little by little it needs to get done.

    Well, now I'm going to have to have some popcorn tonight. The good thing is I can fit it in without exceeding my calorie limit.

    @NewOR2015 That's a good day, when you have calories remaining to treat yourself. Enjoy!

    Yes, and I can't binge on popcorn today because I only have a little bit of kernels left in the jar.

    The sun is shining today and saying "come on out for a walk." But my body is saying "maybe later." I think I'm feeling lazy today. It's Saturday, after all.

    Today I threw a tantrum like a hangry toddler. I am tired of meal prepping, calorie counting, macro counting, weighing, measuring, logging...you get it. I want eggs benedict, mimosas, and salt. It's my TOM and I.am.done. So I am listening to my body and allowing myself what I want. No excuses, no bargaining, I just am. That's all. Afterward, we're going grocery shopping for the week and I will be back on my routine. I just need a break.

    @MrsVelapanur Been there done that. As long as it's just one day and you get back on the road to good health.
    @Living360 Thanks. I did go out for a walk after all.

    @MrsVelapanur Log it or not, definitely enjoy it and get back on track tomorrow. If you're going to do this for life long health you will have days when you eat foods that may be less healthy than others. The good news is Eggs Benedict isn't hard to count if you choose to do so and there is Vitamin C in Mimosa's. It could be a lot worse, you're craving could be for an entire chocolate cake.

    So I'm working 7 days and double shifts again. Our resident whack a doodle insisted on being put on the schedule. Yesterday she called and said Nope she wouldn't be back. She got a new puppy. My boss is furious I laughed I'm really looking forward to jury duty. LOL

    How long is your boss going to put up with her?

    I have a question. I joined another group, and the creator/leader has not participated after the first couple of days. Is this something common that happens? Do people create groups and just leave them, or is it just a coincidence that the two groups I decided to join had this happen?
  • Living360

    @NewOR2015 I think this is coincidence, but leaving after the 1st couple of days really doesn't make sense does it? I think it's difficult for people to commit and stick with it, just like dieting. One day you're into it, you throw out all of the bad foods in your house, you grocery shop and buy all the vitamins and tools you need, you start and the next day you are totally over it. Sad, but the group can go on without the originator yes?
  • NewOR2015

    Yes, it can. At least, this group will continue. My other group was only a one month commitment. It has 74 members with only 4 or 5 participating. Oh well.

    Out of curiosity does anyone else have a crutch food something you eat everyday gets you through the day or you work into your day? Mine is Whoppers candy I work them in every day. My meals are basicly the same day in and day out with some switching but the candy is always there.

    Coffee, but as I take it black with no sugar I don't even log it. And fruit. I once tried a week with no fruit and ate three McFluffys - I have a sweet tooth, but fruit keeps it under control!
