I'm stuck in this bad habit of closing my diary out then snacking later. I have to seriously work on that. That right there. That one habit is what I'm going to focus on. Steps/activity second.
Happy Tuesday!!!
P. S. How do you guys use awesome emojis without the script getting interrupted? I'm so fricking jelly!!!!

Cautiously joining in for this month. Totally tanked on several recent attempts, but it's worth chipping away at it.
Today I feel too scattered to reign in a specific goal. But, I'm claiming my space here.
I want progress to occur this month. Specifically, in consistant downward moving numbers on the scale towards my goal. And once a pound is lost. ...I want to hold the line. Tired of the Yoyo-ing of the past 9 months. Up and down the same 10 pounds nine times!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous!
I'd rather lose one or two pounds this month and keep them off for good, than lose more than that and swing back up in a couple weeks.
When I come up with a specific plan, I'll post it, but til then I've already started in a mindset kind of way.2 -

I'm doing this on the laptop. So I search Halloween emoji sites and then copy the addy of the emoji into the picture inserter thingy. It's doable by that process on a phone or tablet but a complete PITFA.0 -
Today is as good a day as any to get back to basics, having completely lost my desire to plan in recent weeks. I know what to do, am just lacking my usual dedication. Here goes!
October goals:
Planning and packing breakfast/lunch the night before
Start using Fitbit again
Logging my entire day's food in the morning
80 oz water daily
Vitamins daily (especially weekends)
Accomplish one put off household task daily
Be more patient with others
I started working from home 2 days a week so I have more opportunity to stop my slacking. My accountability needs to improve.1 -
Oct 3
Carbs— def sub 20. Maybe around 7
Steps— barely made my 12,500 goal, but I did it!
Activity minutes— 117/300 weekly. That’s ok.
Calories— 1148. Sorry, MFP
Today was a holiday here and also the last day of the fall market. So— glad I met my activity goal. But sad no markets til the end of November.
How’s everyone’s October going?0 -

Today hasn't gone quite as planned felt very low and exhausted and ended up eating crap, but not letting it beat me and back on track tomorrow - just need to give myself a break and aim for 100% but not give myself a hard time if it doesn't quite work out, now I am back home I feel a little lost and not keeping busy is not helping - oh well just another day0

I love this idea!
This month, my goals are:
Carbs - max of 50g each day
Drink 10+ cups of water each day
Workout at least 3 times per week
No more than 2 low-carb alcoholic drinks - 1 night per week

I have fell off with working out last few days. I will get back on track:) Eating has been good. Wondering if I should increase my carbs some. Finding it hard to stay under 20.2

10/3 - 1.77:1 - this is below my goal of 2:1, it was a busy day with lots of errands in the evening and I prioritized my workout over tweaking my eating...and today I woke up with a headache, so clearly I need to spend more time focusing on hitting that ratio if I'm going to feel good and enjoy the neuroprotective benefits of keto...at least it's not a full blown migraine, but it's a very pointed reminder to stay on goal.2

If increasing your carbs to 30 or even 40 means success for you, do it. You can always lower them later if needed.... but better to feel successful than as if you're always struggling!!3 -
So I had an off the rails day yesterday. I did not want to log. But I did. 2100 calories, 104 net carbs. Could have been worse. Could have been a lot worse.2
