I think I'm eating back too many of my exercise calories - I weigh myself each morning and my weight is heading in the wrong direction!
I think we've all been there. I felt the same a couple of weeks ago and @mikea2g gave me a great suggestion of eating just 50% back. Might be something to try.
Thank you. I try not to eat back more than 50% of my exercise calories. Maybe it was water fluctuations or mistakes in my logging. (if a recipe gives calories per serving I usually use that and adjust for substitutions - but if someone else has done the cooking it is difficult)

Bad migraine again today. Seems to be lightening up so hopefully I’ll be back on the exercise and under calories track tomorrow. I was only over by 100 calories so not a big deal. It was totally worth it in the moment. That brownie sent my migraine spiraling away for a whole 3 minutes
Sorry to hear, Mike! Hope your migraine is all gone this morning!0 -

Going in the wrong direction. It has been a rough week- pipes froze & burst, caused plenty of damage & a big mess, been stress eating & the treadmill is buried under all the junk we had to pull out of our attic crawl space. Ugh!!!! Well, I did want to remodel, just wasn’t expecting to do it quite yet. I definitely feel better when I walk more & eat healthier. As I tell my husband, I need to just “suck it up buttercup” and move on!!!
So sorry to hear that your pipes burst. What a mess!! You are totally forgiven for putting on a measly pound under the circumstances. Loving your positive takeaways.....you get to remodel, and you have made a correlation between feeling great and eating well & exercising!! I won't call you "Buttercup", but I will tell you to move on from here!! (hugs)1 -

I'm completely on board with Tuesday not happening
Mini challenge 2/12/19:
Tracking - yes
Under - not even close
Exercise - nope
Sometimes when I don't get to the gym in the morning (didn't sleep well and massive headache), it makes me give up too early on the mini challenge because that's typically my only time to get the extra exercise done. Therefore, calories just went out the window.
Didn't make it to the gym this morning, but going to try to go this afternoon so I'm not letting it get me off track today. Trying to be strong.0 -
We got just under a foot of snow yesterday. We get a break from it today, but are expecting a couple more inches tomorrow evening. My arms and shoulders are on fire! (in a good, I got some exercise, kind of way)2 -
Since I decided to take a step back this week from the daily challeng I missed the interaction on here. I had over 40 messages to catch up on!
It has been nice not putting to much pressure/guilt on myself. I have still been tracking, coming in under calories and getting exercise, whether it’s been shoveling snow or the gym. And I only checked my weight once this week, early to see what the weekend damage was.2 -
lowering my sodium and my carbs slightly has really helped with the water weight, now i think my weight is finally reflecting what i felt like it should be. I can't wait for my weigh in on Sunday. I should be down 2lbs by then.3

I had one and it was lumpy. I can't seem to blend it well... do any of you guys have that same problem?
I have one every morning. I have a vitamix blender and it works well. I just mix it with water so there is a bit of a grainy texture that happens, but nothing bad (in my opinion).0 -

I've got a protein shaker which was about £5. It's got a wire ball in that means when you shake it you get a smooth shake. I put the liquid in first then the powder and it works well.0 -

Head is still a mess. Couldn’t move much. Only bright side is I didn’t go over by that much. Still at a nice deficit, but not the goal one.
