    One thing I did well: I'm still trying. I'm not giving up. I did considerate, but I'm going to keep pushing!

    One thing to improve: Focus on my self more. I love my family, but I have to love myself too to be able to love my family completely. I have to log in more and keep current on the post on MFP for support and just to be more involved in my team.

    GOAL: Journal 7days: 5 days spot-on of under calories; then 2 days at maintenance.

    Reward: I have a stress candle I already bought from Bath and Body works, but never used. I plan to clean up my bedroom and room bathroom this week. Shooting for Tuesday or Wednesday, because I'm off those days. Light my candle and distress. Watch television with my candle glowing. I will be celebrating, because I will have stayed on track for 3 days that week.

    One thing I did well: I got back on track after an indulgent holiday weekend.
    One thing to improve: eat more fruit or vegetables
    Goal: I will eat an apple or 2 clementines or other fruit each day I am at work this week.
    Reward: I will buy myself a coffee one day next week (I usually brew my own).

    Well done getting back on track, something I find difficult. Sounds like you have a good plan there!
    And a loss too!

    @jupdyke~

    @Pearl4686~ I think we make a great team. You’re on when I’m not and vice versa. ;) You can do it. Make a goal for yourself and reward for having 4 of 7 days without crashes! I’m getting myself mentally ready for something similar. Let’s do this!!.

    Thanks Jo! I couldn't do it without you! Still struggling with cookie crashes but hey, as long as the numbers go down, I'll take it.

    @johicks it is definitely a daily struggle, but knowing I get a prize helps with motivation! It’s extrinsic motivation, but still motivation lol

    I love that you’re planning to implement it as well - especially considering you gave me the idea! Lol

    As always, thank you for the encouragement!! I love coming here, and reading your comments, they definitely help me keep a positive mentality. Also, you’ve got this, too! You deserve all the motivation and encouragement, as well!! Have a wonderful week!

    One thing I did well: My goal was to be purposeful in my eating this week, and I did that. Even when I went over my calories, it wasn't a binge. I decided what I was okay with eating, and then stopped once I'd eaten that.
    One thing to improve: As always, work on controlling snacking. I could also work on improving counting calories, especially on days when I can't be exact. If I eat out, I tend to just give up on counting calories for the day, but that often leads to additional overeating later on because I feel like there are no repercussions.

    I'm pretty excited to see the 250s back on the scale. I just hope it last more than two days this time.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: No
    Healthier habits: I'm still just focusing on logging and keeping checked in with MFP. My goal this month is to make sure I log in daily and make this a habit long term.
    Goals or Day: I've been pretty good this week with the exception of 1 day and I was still under. I'm hoping the scale will show my hard work this week. I'm also getting a battery for my fitbit tonight so I'm hoping to get some data and add a step goal for next week.

    Track: intermittently (back on horse)
    Exercise: yes
    Will strive to post daily
    Not a great week. Last week was a wedding week, this week a funeral😢.
    I am happy I have stayed fairly constant.
    One thing I did well was count my blessings as funeral have out paced wedding.
    One thing I am working on is being consistent with my eating habits.
    I am still down 22 pounds since learning of this group in June😊!
