    Even though I knew I was going to exceed my calorie count on Tuesday, I counted anyway. Usually, those are the days that I skip the diary. And it was eye opening. It's amazing how a handful of this, a little of that, and yeah, I'll try that other thing, can accumulate. I went 1,000 cal over!

    Yep.. Ive had a few shocks myself. I remember an 1800 over day 😳 and I really didn't think I'd eaten that much ( I was at a party)

    I always log even if I am having a tread day or otherwise eat WAY too much. My body knows I ate it, so why would I pretend I didn't? The whole idea of using a food diary is to log what you eat, right? That's how it works!

    I am trying to remember my biggest "over," but it was easily 200% of my allowance. The good thing is that I enjoyed what I ate! That's the most important thing. And I logged it, then moved on to the next day and got back on track.

    Yep.. I found thats one of the biggest changes I made that helped me succeed. To not stress and feel guilty.. log it, own it and move on.. back on track.

    Hi group my name is Susana 50 here and slowly just started loosing weight again doing a low carb keto lifestyle. But this time i am adding little bit more Protein than usual aloud on strict keto...but hey i say whatever works for you. I know especially when you hit 50 your metabolism seems to take a halt. lol

    Gorgeous morning run in shorts and a tshirt! I've forgotten how good it is to run without layers on. And for whatever reason, Pandora kept playing Kylie Minogue this morning -- who is awesome to run to!

    Anyone else enjoying a Spring day?

    Yesterday, I ran in a tank, and shorts. It was wonderful! I will head out later for a nice long walk in the same type of apparel. Yardwork is also on the agenda. I'm loving this weather!
    Enjoy your day!

    LOL I'm in California and it snowed here yesterday πŸ˜„
