    Big problem carving salty snacks. Found Nibisco Thin Crisps = some are made with rice instead of wheat flour. I count out one serving and place them in a little container. This helps by reducing amount of carb and salt intake plus I can still feed my craving while not over doing it.

    Got through Easter without buying (nor eating) any Peeps nor Cadbury Cream Eggs. :D

    I am a left leg amputee from being struck by a car in the line of duty as a paramedic. I walk with a prosthetic leg. The emergency dispatch office I work in at our Level I Trauma Hospital is on the east end of the campus. This week, I purposefully started parking in the employee lot on the west end of the campus so I have further to walk. I also fill my 2 quart jug with ice water with the intention of drinking it all through out my 12 hour shift :D

    HuHot was always a favorite restaurant for a plateful of relatively healthy food--lots of veg, some noodles, a little chicken and sausage, sprinkle of peanuts, side of rice, hot sauce. I decided to treat myself today and filled the usual two bowls for my usual heaping plateful. After eating a third, I was full.

    A month ago, I would have plowed through the whole plate and gone back for seconds. Today, I asked for a to-go container for the rest only to be told that, as an all-you-can-eat restaurant, they don't allow to-go. I considered eating the rest out of spite, then stopped myself, added a nice tip to the check, and left.

    I don't think I'll go back. I can make better stir fry at home for 1/4 the price.

    I'm leaving work 15 minutes early to go home and sneak in a 2 or 3 mile run before I start cooking dinner (grilled salmon and a big salad). I work out every morning - today it was 1.5 mile swim - but I feel SO much better if I can get a second lighter workout in after work.

    I walked my tussy off today. Logged all my foods. Until I got home and found the home made ham and bean soup my daughter made with the left over Easter ham. Pretty sure it used up my last calories I had left.

    I parked my car in the furtherest parking lot at work, so that added a few more steps for me.

    My HUBBY stole my lunch this morning!!! Instead of just walking out and buying lunch, I searched the fridge and put together another lunch.

    Didn't eat all the junk at the morning tea for a friend or the family picnic. Didn't eat all healthy foods, but am under my calories

    Shoveled snow this morning. I can tell my kettle bell work is helping strengthen my abs.

    Dying with allergies, just back from a very busy and emotional weekend, dragging beyond belief..... Sitting outside the gym waiting for spin class to start. Don't know how I'm going to get through 60 min today, but I'm here!!!!

    I am going to stay under my calorie goal today! I keep stepping on the scale and seeing I haven't lost weight and I know why, it is because I have slipped back into my old habits of eating whatever and whenever I want. So today I am making a commitment, I WILL stay within my calories goal, I WILL watch my macros, and I WILL stay vigilant.

    Today i had to stop at hardware store on the way home from work. I got what i needed plus a big box of milkduds. I threw the box out after i had eaten 2/3 of it. If i had not done this i would have been under calorie goal.

    Does anyone find it hard to stay under goal if you eat cereal for breakfast?

    Me. Cereal doesn't fill me up at all, so I'll be hungry and wanting to munch my way through the kitchen until lunch!

    I did my big workout with my trainer. He upped all my weights and reps. I've been really good about ordering salad when I go out to eat lately to. I'm learning, it's a process
