Starving me just picked up NY style pizza for fam only to come home & eat cauliflower rice! Hope I can keep this up!
@Kwinnero, that's playing with fire, bringing pizza into the house!! Glad you are "in the zone" so that you could stay strong!! Just try not to let yourself get to the "starving" point....bad decisions get made when that happens!!
On a positive note my 13 year old and husband finished it all(i think they have some sort of tape worm)
@Kwinnero, with them eating all the pizza, there are no leftover slices calling your name!!2 -
MINI CHALLENGE
DATE: Sunday, March 3, 2019
Logged food: Yes
Under calories: Yes
Exercises: No
Steps as of posting: 5,963
I was exhausted after my seminar yesterday and not much sleep last night. On the upside I had a glorious 3 hour nap while my kids were with their grandparents
. Caught up on the sleep I missed last night and felt like my crazy younger bachelor self. No kids, sleeping until the afternoon, watching Netflix. What a glorious day .
@mikea2g, sometimes we all just need a down day, a quiet "me" day. Glad you enjoyed yours!1 -

My Weekend
Well, I didn't exercise (can't seem to find my way in that department yet), and I wasn't under my calories, but I was pretty close. The small win for Saturday was that I knew I was over and I didn't throw it all out the window by bingeing, which is what I usually do. Instead of staying up and pigging out on chips after my husband went to bed, I went with him, and started my new book. "The Widow" by Fiona Barton....I'll give you a review once I am finished!!6 -

@brandi_84, of course we can count an hour of housework!! Don't hold your breath waiting for that book review, though...I read only a few pages every night. It takes me a while to finish a book! This one is supposed to be in the vein of Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train, both of which I have read and enjoyed.1 -

Me too! What's the book?0 -
I seem to be averaging about 1-2 diet sodas a day so since I unintentionally skipped lunch w/ soda today, I think I'm gonna try skipping my second soda that I usually pair with dinner. Ill try to continue on for the next week. Wish me luck guys!
Any recommendations on how you personally drink your water so it's not so boring?2 -
@Kwinnero
I’m one of those strange folks that loves plain water. I drink drink drink it all day long! I do love ice water better than room temp, so my only experiential advice is add some ice
I’ve heard people talk about no calorie flavor packets they add to water. That and drinking tea.
Good luck on the soda to water journey1 -

I like my water cold(usually with ice), but can go without. I have coworkers that put fruit in their water so it has more flavor, or some make tea.
If you like diet soda(I would rather have regular if I want a treat), there is no reason why you can't have it(surprisingly it does count towards your daily water intake!) In your days. If it is something that makes you crave other things like sweets/snacks, then I would cut it out. I get headaches with the diet stuff, unless it is coke zero for some reason!
Besides water, I drink unsweetened ice tea or black coffee. On the days I visit my boyfriend, I will put a little cream in my coffee as a treat for the week. Oh! And a glass of wine here and there!2 -
I just drink regular soda. I was drinking 3 a day and now limit myself to just 1. I ended up buying Brisk tea, which is just 90 calories instead of the usual 200 calories that are in a bottle of coke. So I am sticking with that for now. Having that sweet drink has been the hardest habit to break. Especially with a meal.
Drinking water is such a struggle. I like it better room temperature. It seems to have a more metallic taste when it is cold. I will sometimes put lemon juice in my water.1 -

@Kwinnero, it is called "The Widow" by Fiona Barton. I only mentioned it because I started reading it instead of pigging out on chips!!

3/4/19 Mini Challenge
Tracked: Yes
Under: Yes
Exercise: 25 minutes shoveling, 34 minutes walking
Today was just a awful day in general. Work was awful(attitude from everyone, an hour late because of the snow...). Coming home was great, but then I got awfully emotional about everything and cried for about an hour. In reality, I had nothing major l to be upset about, but everything just started to get to me. On the bright side, I am about to walk a little just to clear my mind. I'm calling it a night soon after, because I just don't feel like myself tonight. I will have my nightly dove minis, as my little pick me up. Tomorrow I will be getting back to the gym, and I am looking forward to that!5
