    Wednesday check in...
    Calories: super fantastic. Kitchen is closed now so I can check in.
    Water: Still working on it but it will be good by bedtime.
    Exercise: I didn’t have time for workout tonight so I did mini workouts throughout the day. Dancing with the kids, jumping jacks in the laundry room, extra stepping when I could. Also want to earn extra activity points for the weekend. 16,724 as of now.
    Goal for tomorrow: Another day like today. Accumulate more activity points to see if this helps me on the weekend with my extra indulgences without going overboard.

    @TeresaW1020 you have inspired me to start drinking my coffee black at least during the week. Saves me two points a day and I don’t mind. A little sugar and milk can wait until the weekend as a treat. So thank you. Also I love that you are getting to see Gone With the Wind on the big screen. How fabulous! Happy early Birthday!!!!

    Exercise: morning walk and some stairs at work, 10k steps
    Water: not enough unless you count coffee and Diet Coke. lol
    Tomorrow: Lots of meetings, so try to get in a longer walk before work, then look for ways to do little things during the day (wall sits, a little yoga, stairs, etc.)

    Wednesday check in
    Calories: under
    Water: over
    Exercise: 40 minute C25K app on the treadmill. It was the first time exercising while fasting and it went really well. Next time I will probably not have two cups of coffee first and save that second cup for afterward.

    Tomorrow, hubby is taking me to see the movie Gone With The Wind for my birthday that is on Saturday. I have never seen the movie at the theater and he has never seen it at all. I'm super excited!! :DB)<3

    Steps:
    2/26-3510 (no time to workout!)

    Enjoy the movie!

    @broncobuddee, it's good to know I'm not alone in this struggle! I'm trying to get better particularly at cutting out the snacking in front of the TV which is my biggest weakness. I'm trying to have tea instead which is working so far, but know I need to work on my addiction to processed sugar.

    @Jaybo37 had suggested healthyish high fibre cereal as a snack at night if hungry and it really worked for me a couple of times. If felt like a treat and filled me up.

    @dee_toronto - If you want another thing to try, my go-to snack is apple slices and walnut pieces. I make a 100 calorie snack out of 10 grams of walnut bits and about 55 grams of thinnish slices of my favorite apple. I put a walnut piece on an apple slice, and get a mouthful of sweet crisp apple and smooth rich walnut.

    I am a huge fan of herbal teas, and some of those really do a great job of hitting the spot when I want something sweet. I often drink a cup of something like Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice in the evening. No calories, but the apple and cinnamon and spice flavors seem wonderfully indulgent.

    I sometimes have some sugar free jelly, or to those with you in the US I think you refer to it as jello. Sometimes I mix it with hot water and half yoghurt to give it a bit more substance

    Thursday Check in
    Calories: Wayyyy over!!
    Water: under
    Exercise: not one little bit!

    So, today I drove an hour both ways to see Gone With The Wind, which is a four-hour movie. So not much activity and I baggie full of trail mix was consumed in those four hours. :o But it was worth it and sometimes you just gotta go all out and take a day off from everything. Tomorrow, I will be back on the horse! B)

    Coffee always counts for water intake.

    Oh I love apple slices with peanut butter. Yum. And speaking of herbal teas I highly recommended licorice root tea. I hate black licorice but this tea is the bomb. Licorice root is naturally much sweeter than sugar but no calories in the tea. You do have to watch how much you consume though because it can cause high blood pressure if you drink a lot of it.
