    Yesterday's commitments:
    - Limit Easter snacks: only homemade cake / actual Easter chocolate (i.e. eggs) allowed. Moderate consumption of it!! :| I stayed within these guidelines, but had a little more than I did have! Not too terrible though
    - Take moderate portions at dinner, particularly of high calorie foods :) I refused a second helping of dessert even though my cousin asked me three times...
    - Eat slowly and savour food - stop when full! :|
    - Drink slowly to avoid getting topped up too often... :/

    Today's commitments:
    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks except one Creme egg
    - Don't exceed calories by more than 450

    joan6630, I like how you look forward to occasions. I usually get to the occasion and then I'm upset that I have nothing flattering to wear. I need to think through the rest of the years's occasions and plan better! Great tip!

    JFT - Sunday April 1
    2L of Water - :( 1.5L I forgot to drink one in the morning and it threw me off track
    Stay in Green - :s This was so far in the red it's awful.
    Write in Journal - :( No I was too tired last night to do it

    JFT - Monday April 2
    2L of Water
    Stay in Green
    Write in Journal
    Do 10 Something's every hour

    I will forget all about yesterday. I avoided the chocolate which is not a big deal for me, but had too many potatoes at supper, then a cupcake for dessert. Even at that it wasn't too bad, but then I got the munchies terribly bad and ended up snacking all evening searching for something that I never did find. I should have just gone and bought the potato chips that I think would have satisfied the craving. I haven't done that in a long time so I will forgive myself and move on. Hope everyone has a great day!

    I just saw this on a Canadian News Station. This is pretty inspiring.

    I'm currently sitting on a train with a big tasty Easter egg in my bag. I'm going to be on this train for another 2h15.

    I'm not going to eat it!!!

    I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not

    Posting this as it will now be super embarrassing if I cave - hopefully this will stop me from giving in :smile:

    Dammit! MFP went down for me today while logging breakfast and I couldn't get it to work - so frustrating!
    I then overate because I couldn't tell exactly which mouthful drove me into the red :disappointed:
    and then I felt so down that I didn't exercise :expressionless:
    it's like an evil snowball.

    Tomorrow, four goals I will achieve even if I can't MFP my kj:
    weigh-in
    avoid dairy and gluten.
    stick to standard serving sizes. (per meal)
    change into workout clothes and sit on the exercise bike at least once today!

    AND log food on MFP (if available).

    i hate that. and if i know i'm in the red, i will more likely go much deeper red because i figure i already screwed it up.

    I actually can’t find any goals for today, and thinking maybe I forgot to post them? Ah well! It’s been a good Easter. We had quite a low-key one because of my niece still being in hospital. The girls had a friend over to play yesterday and I made easter nest cakes with them, gave them chocolate eggs and delivery pizza - avoided all of it! Today I’ve done loads of batch cooking so feeling organised!

    Had a rest day Saturday but got my workouts in yesterday and today. Hoping to make it to hot yoga at long last tomorrow while the girls are at a camp. My Fitbit isn’t syncing so my diary is showing no step calories. It’s really frustrating but seems to be a mfp-wide problem.

    Goals for Tuesday:
    - early workout
    - 3ltr+ water
    - Stay within calorie goal
    - Try to write 6 report starters
    - Maybe get to lunchtime hot yoga

    Night all! X

    I do the same thing exactly! That's how I didn't control the calories last night.

    @slittlemeister Nice job, not eating the egg! Do you have to be on the train 2H 15Min every day both ways to and from work? That's a long ride!

    Recap Easter Sunday ~ Celebrated with choir at church and family at home. No JFT goals. No logging food or beverages (adult or otherwise) for me. I ate & drank what I liked in moderate (mostly) portions, and no regrets. Lots of leftovers in house, but on bright side, I handed bags of candy and several containers of grape salad to relatives as they were leaving yesterday. :smiley:

    Back to JFT on Monday. Well, better late than never! :D Today (M) was another vacation day at home ~ I have learned over the years that I need relax & recovery time after all the Easter prep & spring cleaning from the week before. Plus, spending an entire day with people (whom I love! <3) tires me out. It's just nice to have 1 or 2 days to decompress after all the activities, church & family time. This year was even crazier, since the 3rd annual 10K I do in spring was Sat. morning. And that's the morning my stupid digital clock decided to jump ahead one hour, so I got less sleep than I wanted before the race.

    So I really did have goals today... JFT M 4/2
    1) Walked dog 4.15 mi 1:08:53 / happy dog & happy me B)
    2) Lots of leftovers in house so eat them in moderation / log food / net calories green = Completed food diary & Quick Added couple pieces of Easter candy I ate. Net calories green (not by much), sugar & sodium red, fiber & protein low & 14c water. :neutral:
    3) R&R :smiley:
    4) Find last weekly weigh-in post and update
    5) Find last monthly goals post and update

    Might as well list out goals for T 4/3 ~ my last vacation day at home :'(
    1) With imminent winter storm, shovel snow for exercise
    2) Eat up more leftovers / package & freeze some / net calories green / monitor usual
    3) Vote in spring election
    4) Spa appt. for massage 5:30 / call to cancel if weather & roads too bad
    5) Wash dishes / get thru paperwork clutter shoved aside last week
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (treadmill before work W a.m.)

    March Goals / Results:
    • Walk on treadmill / dog (weather & roads permitting) 5x per week = Per MapMyWalk walked 5x four weeks and 6x one week. Total of 23 workouts & 78.73 miles in March. :smiley:
    • Alternatively, start strength training and/or yoga some days = Nope again... with snow / ice gone from roads, outdoors beckoned & walked dog more often instead. :neutral:
    • Walk Badger State Brewing 10K (already registered) on 3/31 < 1:35 = Woohoo! 1:30:28.82 & average pace 14:35 :star: Snowed like crazy at start, then rained, then very windy ~ squishy shoes & socks, all outer wear soaking wet at finish, no sitting in beer garden enjoying adult beverage after, like last year. :p
    • Take measurements 3/31 a.m. before 10K / log on MFP (later same day) = Measurements taken & logged. No longer significant changes, but waist shrinking & continue to firm up. :smile:
    • Scale goal 152.5 / may be affected by pre-race dinner 3/30 = 153.5 definitely impacted by carb-loading spaghetti supper night before. :# Scale read 152.5 several times during March daily weigh-ins, so know I'm trending in the right direction. :smile:

    April Goals:
    • Walk dog or on treadmill 5x per week
    • Win MapMyWalk spring challenge (most distance) with M
    • Yoga or strength train 1x per week
    • Log all food & beverages every day / net calories green or w/i 100
    • Take measurements 4/30 a.m. before work & log on MFP
    • Scale goal 152.0#

    Focus on the process, not the outcome.
