    Steps-wise, that's still a pretty doggone good day. Hope other things fall in place for you today.

    Hey Slimpossibles... I need some jollying along if possible. Went out on a school night last night and sank my worries in some mead. Due to my steps, I only overspent by about 300 calories, even if that's a low estimate, still could be worse. BUT! Of course, sleep was awful, my skin has reacted, and I skipped my planned weights sesh this morning.

    I don't want this to be the thing that makes me sink the week. Got to go to a party on Saturday that may involve expectations to over drink as well, and I just want to hide!

    Also found my 3rd grey hair. I'm sure it's related.

    So Calories: over
    Water: need more
    Exercise: abs, weights, 16567 steps
    Help!

    Don’t let it be the thing that sinks the week! Get back at it today - eat clean, get lots of water and some good sleep tonight. Try not to worry about missing your weight session. You did a great job yesterday with your steps and only being 300 calories over. That’s really good all things considering.

    I can’t say anything good about finding the grey hair unfortunately. I hate my grey hair - I’ll be colouring my hair until the day I die!

    Make a plan for Saturday - if you want to go, then go and have a great time but see what it is like to limit your drinks. Maybe others won’t notice because they will be drunk! 😁 But if you really don;t want to go tell them you are sick. A little white lie never hurts, right??

    Hey @Wishusdonna - Everything @Kres567 said! Especially the water today, and a plan for Saturday.

    We're thinking of you.

    P.S. The grey hair made me laugh and sympathize. I can't count mine anymore, or won't. I just color them.

    Hi @19shmoo69 - Hang in there. Some days are tough. Hopefully today will be a little better.

    And if this is about the steps -- that would be a decent day for me!

    I will second everything @Kres567 said. You can get back on track today. You’re doing SO well; I know you can come back for this.

    As for the “expectation to over drink,” don’t let anyone have that much power over you and your life. Drink if you want to, have a glass of water or Diet Coke or whatever in between each drink that you do decide to drink. But if you choose not to drink, just don’t do it. You are in control. No one else. :)

    Wow. I've been so MIA. Not the best few days. Slightly over on calories but I have been doing my new workout routine which has me sweating like crazy each time.

    Today has been a lot better. Going into the weekend with a positive outlook.

    You have revealed that you are human, we all are, so sometimes we slip a little, and each time we slip we get back up again. 300 over will do no lasting damage, and sometimes missing a weights session can also be helpful giving muscles a bit more of a rest and therefore more time to recover and regrow.

    From what I see as an outsider, I see a strong woman who has and is doing brilliantly, your steps and workout schedule put your way ahead of the curve, so the occasional slip will not hold you back as you are already shaping your own future.

    Thanks everybody! And great advice, I'll try my best on Saturday.

    Had a much better day yesterday with some great food choices. My Joe Wicks chocolate, peanut butter and banana smoothie for breakfast, some carefully noted salad bar selections for lunch, and then the lovely tuna steak, melon, spinach, walnut and feta salad for dinner!

    Rehydration!
    Calories: under
    water: over (needed).
    Exercise - just the steps. 11127 of them.

    Sleep still bad. Hubby had a lot of apnoea last night, kept me awake.
