CONFESSION: My first Saturday and I blew it. I sort of planned to blow it with champagne but then I didn't factor in how hungry alcohol makes you
So I tried to be good ordering a chef salad when everyone else had pizza but over the course of the evening I ended up eating 4 pieces of pizza anyway!! In addition to the damn salad LOL. I stayed on track the rest of the week though and ended with a 3.6 lb loss. I know it would have been better without the salt and alcohol fest of Saturday night though. 0 -
I'm on plan and planning to stay that way!0

I ate it all, I was full, and I really enjoyed it! I can feel some of my habits starting to change. I still waiver every now and then, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of this!
Oh well done!! Yorkshire puddings have always been a huge temptation for me. Right now I'm trying to modify a full fry up to be a health(ier) version that I can have & still stick to plan.0 -

Applauding that! It can be so easy just to say, I tripped up, I might as well stop altogether - but you got up, dusted yourself off, and are tackling the challenge again. One silver lining - now you know what the alcohol does to you & know to order *two* salads in advance!

We are all works in progress, well done for not letting it de-rail you. I get the munchies when drink alcohol too plus it makes me all short sighted about what is important in life, It is ok not be perfect, the most important thing is to get back on track as soon as possible and not give up over it. So you did well.
I am inspired every day by everyone here, we can do it.0 -
Was possibly 40 odd calories over yesterday, but not intentionally - the food database numbers on MFP kept changing! At one point, a clove of raw garlic that I had logged for lunch suddenly appeared on my tally sheet as 480 calories. The overage was due to the calorie count shifting, so it may or may not be real.0

Thanks for the support everyone!!!

Easter chocolate hangover...boo hoo. Time to put on my big girl panties, log foods and drink lots of water!0

I am on track , for those who got seduced by the chocy demons, never mind. Easter is all over now.0

Was significantly under my calorie goal today, but mostly because I spent a good portion of the morning and early afternoon sitting in my bedroom trying to write a couple of essays, and got so busy that I forgot to eat for a while

I skipped breakfast opted only for coffee, bad idea , only had yogurt with granola for lunch , chicken sandwich for dinner and will have some strawberries later . but I have barely used half my calories . I have just found out in the 14th of March that I am fully diabetic now. Find a balance for breakfast is hard . trying to limit the carbs I eat . my gobto was a price of taost with strawberry preserves . don't get up in time to do eggs and can't do them everyday .. Low carb, sucks for me .0

I'm liking this low carb diet. Lots of energy and no hunger and I can now easily see where I went wrong the last time. Lots of low carb veggies out there. I use only certain vegetables and I weigh the amount until I get good at eyeballing it. On track today and I get 560 calories still.0

Had a great day!0

Rest day, so I made sure I was well under calorie budget!0

We had a roast dinner, which is one of my favourites, but what was on my plate was very different from what I'd usually have.
I'd usually pile it really high with roast potatoes, meat, mashed potatoes, yorkshire puddings, lots of veg, gravy made with some of the juice from the meat, sometimes extras like pigs in blankets, and then eat it all until I was completely stuffed, to the point where I was uncomfortable and had to undo my trousers.

Beyond awesome. Personally I think those sort of changes has felt like my biggest victories0 -
On plan today despite some serious carb cravings.0

Hoping today is better . ate a better breakfast so we will see!0

Stuck to plan yesterday, and so far so good today.0

I did good yesterday (Monday) until dinner when I blew it (5k calories at dinner). I simply delayed dinner too long (2 hours later than planned) due to working late & had a ravenous appetite by then for foods I really should not eat. Hopefully, today (Tuesday), I'll stick to my meal plans & meal times.0
