I'm going to shoot for 200 points as well. Which dang is gonna be tough, not least of all for the shortened month but because it's my 30th in 18 days!!! So there are some celebrations planned.
Which, frankly, I don't want to have to obsess over my cals for. Is that bad? Maybe. I don't know. Hell... you only turn 30 once right?!?! I'm hoping to compensate in the days before/after and focus on the weekly deficit as opposed to the daily. Anyhooo. My goals for today are/were:

I don't think it is silly at all. My birthday is this month too, and I plan on eating whatever I like at my dinner! Next month I have an annual girl's weekend that includes an indulgent night out too.....you have to let loose sometimes.
What is Witcher 3?
Also, Trump also gives me big time stress!0 -

I think that's the healthy way to be. There are going to be nights/holidays where you have to relax a bit with it all. It's called life hey! I'm not gonna stress about my birthday - decided
Witcher 3 is a video game #nerdalert. It came out last year but work and family stuff was so nuts I only got a chance to play it recently. Stupidly addictive. I've decided going forward I'm not allowed to play it unless I get in at least half an hour of cardio beforehand.
Trump stress is the worst stress. Mum found me watching the news and literally pulling at my own hair at 5am the other day thanks to Trumplestiltskin.

I think trump gives everyone stress... I used to love visiting down south, now i may not go for about 4 years.
And i agree to days off... Having fun is good for your mental health, mental health effects weight... You need that balance.1 -
Super stress! I may be moving to California for work later this year so I am... eesh, I'm nervous!

I haven't figured out a reward for hitting 200 points this month. Hmmmm. Maybe a FitBit? I feel like everyone has them now, I figure I should get aboard the step counting train.

HLaR - where do you live?
Pence freaks me out equally to Trump btw.
Also, I have a fitbit and love it!
Glad to see another new person!0 -

I find it hilarious that trump stresses people out from all over the world! I can't believe we are stuck with him for at least 4 years.
A funny meme for today: "the year 2045: "grandpa how did president trump ever get elected?"
"Well, we were a bit distracted back then. That was the year adult coloring books came out"
Have a great day!2 -

Today I'm having some friends over I haven't seen in a very long time. I'm making paella which, while nutrient dense full of delicious protein, healthy fat and served with plenty of vegetables... is carb and calorie heavy.
But I'm not going to stress. I'm going to enter my full recipe and log it and just work with what I've got. The aim is to still remain under my calorie goal and get a bit more physical activity in!1 -
I need this weekend!!!! Tomorrow we are going to a buffet for lunch for my moms birthday.... I need to plan this well.... Eating out 2 days in a row is going to be harsh i have been cutting down on that type of meals
You got this! We aren't machines. If we slip up a bit we can just get straight back to doing what we gotta do! I'm in a similar predicament this weekend.
