    I got nothin. I made no efforts today, besides the usual logging and whatnot. How about this? I will pencil in a run on my schedule for tomorrow. Scheduling a future activity counts as a small something, right?

    This is still better than not logging at all

    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?

    I did two things! I need to go grocery shopping- was out of eggs this morning and in a rush to get going so I stopped for a biscuit (drive-thru, haven't been in at least 6 weeks, have been good so I figured why not treat myself?) and I skipped out on a potato hash brown which old me got religiously. I also skipped my large Diet Coke because A) I'm trying to save up the $$ and B) I'm trying to cut down on caffine.

    #2, I mentioned above that I need to go grocery shopping, long story short I went before I was able to make dinner and since we all know grocery shopping hungry is a big no-no, I made myself a healthy filling snack! A serving of almonds and cubed cheese to hold me over and keep me level headed until dinner!

    It's all about those small healthier choices!

    I adjusted my intake to fit in a red velvet cupcake (that was ridiculously delicious) stayed under calorie goal and didn't let myself feel too guilty about it because every once and a while you need a lovely cupcake

    I had two big meals instead of snacking and drank tea at night to round out the day

    I find cereal to be a useless breakfast. An hour later I'm inevitably ravenous. I seem to need some fat and protein in my breakfast to keep me going.

    My small victory today was that I opened the cabinets and fridge a bunch of times and chose every time to walk away. I tend to eat when I feel emotionally uncomfortable, and I just kept saying (under my breath) "You're okay. You're not hungry. You just feel bad. Its okay to feel bad." I continued to feel bad (just that kind of day), but I felt good about the not snacking!

    I went to the movies, no popcorn, no munchies and no drink! Hard to miss the popcorn because of the smell!

    Having a good Good Friday. Staying meat free (except fish) today which actually gives me lots more food.

    .8 lbs away from the sunny side of 160. Turned my 75 minutes walk into an 85 minute walk. Now I am drinking champagne - lol.

    I had a bad Friday. It is really hard to get in exercise of any kind on my work days. I should have stopped working and taken lunch break. I guess the good thing I did was learn that lesson.

    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.

    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.
