@slittlemeister free food! Sounds amazing! Howeverrr it's got to fit into your calories!!
Try your best, you'll only be affecting your progress, if you make good choices your gonna feel even more better because you accomplished something which is difficult to do!
Good luck! I'm holding you accountable
Prove to yourself you can resist!
As for healthy drawer snacks, I get Alpen bars, Go Ahead bars etc and they're both under 70cal!
I also have ryvitas but I like them lol I get the sesame ones!2 -
Just for today: Tuesday
Drink water when I'm stressed
Drink water when I'm hungry
Drink water when I'm tired
Just drink those measly 8 glasses- Getting closer!!!!
Just for today: Wednesday
I WILL drink my 8 glasses. My body will thank me.
Compliment a co-worker
Stay focused and productive

Oh man! I thought I did my goals yesterday. looks like I must not have finished them or something!
Start over today.
J4T - Wednesday
1. Stick to meal plan
2. WATER, WATER, WATER!
3. Add 100+ steps to yesterday's count
4. Put my earbuds on to tune out those around me at work and focus on what I need to get done. Politely ask colleagues to not disturb unless necessary today.
5. Every hour when my fitbit buzzes, walk down the hall to the water dispenser and get both steps and water in.
6. Try not to let myself be "in the grip" at work today. Breathe. Soothing music. One task at a time. Don't let it all overwhelm you. Nobody is going to die if I don't get it all done in time.
7. Activity tonight. February 1st marks a new month. This month I will begin to exercise and slowly increase.
8. Take time for "me" tonight. I'm exhausted. I need to take some down time tonight and not think about work.
9. Bed at least one hour early.
10. Make someone smile today with at least one random act of kindness.
Have a great day!3 -
@slittlemeister I think it's great you realize it will be difficult to stick to good choices at dinner tonight, and that even if you are not perfect, you are determined to be better than last time. "Better than last time" is an improvement and moving you in the right direction! Good luck!1

I ran out of cashew milk today i had to use rice milk. 2 cups is 240cal vs 50 for cashew milk. Really sucks i have to give up something to make up for calories. Im really fealling the affects of not being prepared!3

Hi! I was active here a year or so ago. I have gained 15 back in the last couple months with stress junk. So, since I liked this thread so much, I am going to try jumping back in here to try to regain control of my health.
Just for today, 2 Feb 2017:
1. Drink 2 pints water
2. Eat a grapefruit
3. Take my vitamins
4. Have good thought time/remain prayerful throughout day2 -
Today:
Log all food (mostly - there was one thing that was a weird cucumber sushi like thing. I had one piece and moved on.)
Focus at work eh... mostly. I guess.
Stay within 100 calories of my goal (either side) I'm guessing the cucumber thingy I ate helped with this, so not calling it a total loss. (Was off by 169, guessing the cucumber thingy might have covered a decent portion of it though)
Take one moment at a time. today wasn't bad.
Second verse, same as the first:
Log
Focus
Stay within 100 calories
Take one moment at a time
