    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.

    Woo-hoo to you for being able to refuse the dessert with a sabotager on the loose!!!

    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.
