    Alas, I will have to double up on my exercise today to keep to my "minutes goal" due to no intentional exercise on Sunday. All other days this week: :)

    I had a great week but fell apart over the weekend. I ate breakfast both days and both days ended up grazing all day and eating way above calorie level with some carbs thrown in. I have been mostly “fasting” weekdays, I eat from 4-8pm. Much better strategy, and keeps me from the mindless grabbing.

    Goals:
    Stay in carb range (except my b-day celebration)

    Good here.

    Continue working out several times per week (started getting back on track last month)

    Good here. Making workouts a priority again.

    Trying to do more things that are fun and that I enjoy to avoid the depression that winter and my b-day often brings.

    We've had dinner with friends a couple evenings. We had to have our dog put to sleep Friday so yeah...that wasn't great for the avoiding depression plan. :'(

    So sorry for your loss anglyn1!! It is not easy to lose our four footed family members!

    My weekend threw me off. I am back on track today. And a plan is in place for the weekend. Keep going everyone! You are great motivation to me!
