So I weighed in on Friday just to keep myself focused over the weekend.
Was 225. I would say not the best idea because I gave myself a treat here, there and everywhere. 
Still happy with the 227 this morning. I was really scared to get on scale tho! 4 -
@prowell57 My best friend had a Pho get together and that was it for me. Fell in love with it. The savory broth with all the different meats, bean sprouts, peppers and lime. I tend to over do it with the hot oil. So good.
@katmary71 Not so much into the weights but I know I will benefit greatly from doing it.2 -

This week was bad. My 2 younger kids have come down with a bad cold so we were stuck inside for 5 days last week and with little to no sleep bouncing from one kid to other durring the night. I'm stressing out trying to get everything ready since hubby is coming home soon.
No sleep + stress = no motivation -> binge eating. SOOO MANY bad choices were made. I'm surprised that I didnt gain more then what I did. But it's a new day/week I can't dwell on what's already been done. Before when this would happen I would be off track for a month, I cant let that happen this time. Kids are still sick but I'm jumping on my elliptical durring nap time today.3 -
@Jactop your steps are amazing! I don't know how you do it, my Fitbit comes Tuesday and I know my steps are low, I can't imagine even doing 5000! I'll have to start going for walks like I did in January.
My advise if you want to get your steps up is to stop thinking so big. Long walks are great but I get most of mine by moving during activities when I would normally sit or stand still.
-pace instead of standing still
-use the furthest washroom even at home
-put laundry away right from the drier one piece at a time
-most mornings I try to do 10 min of moving while still in my pjs, either I circle my island or read posts on my stationary bike
I'm not sure why but on the days my steps are highest I also make the best food choices.

When people count calories what do you do when you’re over? Do you just say it was a bad day and start over the next day or do you try to cut back the next day?
So I count calories I have a weekly goal. Yesterday I was way over. So all week I would have to cut back to make up for it. Then I find- trying to limit calories- I can only do it so long then I think I get rebellious and angry and fed up with it. That is partly what happened last night. So it’s kind of like a vicious circle. Because if I cut calories all week to make up for yesterday by the end I will be ready to blow again.
I guess I just don’t know how to handle the restrictions mentally. I feel like I need to do something different than what I currently do.
Last night- I had grapes and didn't realize how many calories are in grapes which FYI is crazy I should have just had a chocolate bar, I think it would have been less calories. Then I was frustrated and had some ice cream. Then I was hungry and had bread an peanut butter. So I was over by like 500 cals or something.4 -

I had a huge fight with my husband yesterday. Then I fell off the keto wagon last night and ate a whole bunch of salty corn chips and had a bowl of sugary cereal. So I'm sure the weight difference is from all that and water. Of course now it will take 3 days to get back into ketosis. I need to stop emotional eating. 😞3 -
@Jactop congratulations, another pound down! I'll take your advice about steps, thank you! I didn't realize it counts steps on the bike. My usual cardio is the bike, elliptical, or stair treadmill, I figured it would count for the latter but not the others.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Sorry you're up, those weeks are so frustrating! It's hard to get sodium down, I eat 2-3 packaged things and it's always way over. Congratulations on being in the top three!
@wrknonmedaily yay, 3lbs down! If you dislike weights what about starting with body weight exercises like planks, pushups, and situps? The thing I like about strength training is it shows physically after about a month and going up on weights/time holding a plank/amount of reps is rewarding.
@TeraBbreakingFree glad it wasn't more than you thought. Great job getting back on track right away! I hope the kids are doing better.
@its_cleo I usually just get back to it the next day. After being over 3 days for Christmas Eve, Christmas day, and slightly over my nephew's birthday on the 26th I did stop eating exercise calories for a bit but it wasn't my best decision. Only 500 over if you're at 1lb a week is maintenance. Grapes are high and they don't seem like they would be!

I usually wear my Fitbit on my ankle. I made a band like a tube with a velcro closure that my Fitbit slips into. It isnt pretty but I wear it under my pants at work or out shopping. I've also tucked it into my sock or tied it to my shoelace. It only counts every other leg motion on a bike but it's better than nothing@Jactop congratulations, another pound down! I'll take your advice about steps, thank you! I didn't realize it counts steps on the bike.

Hey there, @its_cleo !
So it is totally awesome that you logged your food and stumbled across a high calorie food you didn't know about. For what it's worth, you ate extra of a food that included fiber and vitamins, so you could possibly give yourself more "health credit" than eating a candy bar. So maybe give yesterday's self a high five for making a healthy choice, even if it was an unconscious of the numbers choice?
(I am feeling the fruit and calories thing. I just had an afternoon snack of about 120 calories, some cashews and some tart cherries. I could eat way WAY more tart cherries had I not thought to prelog this, and find out I should eat about 100g of them. Ah, well.)
In your post, you actually sound like you arrived at what works for me. When I go over, my game plan is just get back on plan with the next meal. If I try to "make up" for an overage by going way under the rest of the week, I will be super grumpy and hangry by end of week. So SO SO not worth it. That is the path toward ransacking the pantry for me. Nope, I just need to go back to the regularly planned size of meals.
Another way to think of it, for me, is that I just slowed down on the health journey a bit. Or detoured a little.
Anyway, I am big on getting back in the saddle at the next meal, and being kind to myself on days I blow past the number.
Other Slimpossibles, what do you do?0 -
@it_cleo, I’m with Austin here and I when I go over my calories (which I have for the last couple of days) I don’t try to eat less than my calorie goal but instead just try to get back to eating where I’m supposed to be at. I do try to drink more water and eat a bit cleaner but if I go too under then I’m just hangry.
@nbbaby, yes your weight gain sounds like water weight. Sorry you and your DH had a fight and I hope all is well again. You will get back to where you need to be.
2/10 Accountability (Habit Tracker)
Track Every Bite-I did and I’m actually under my calorie goal for the day!
NO gain on the scale-There was a gain on the scale again. I’ve got to get it together!!
Workout or 7500 steps-I did 60 minute cardio core Beachbody workout. It was great and I’m going to be sore!
Steps for 2/9-11,906
IF (17+ hrs)-16 hrs. was I did today. I was just so hungry and that was because I ate too much later than normal last night.
Thoughts for the day-Well, today was better than it has been the last couple of days. I stayed under my calorie goal and had a really great workout. My only thought at the moment I need to do it again tomorrow!!

Other Slimpossibles, what do you do?
@its_cleo, I'm in the same camp as @AustinRuadhain - I just go to the next meal. Funny this came up today, I have had a day where I have had to employ all of the advice. => But trying to make up for cals already eaten feels like robbing Maria to pay MFP and I'm not into it. I personally gave up eating into the exercise calories and it was the right move for me, for where I am in needing to lose weight (but I walk, not burn like you guys in the gym!). Now I strive to not see red but sometimes I do; I ate more when it would see exercise calories but still remain remain green and it slowed my weight loss. This works for me but it may not work for everyone.
It's also important to bear in mind what your goal is in MFP and what you are trying to do. For me, I'm going for the 1.5 to 2 pounds a week lost goal so my calories allowance is pretty small to begin with. Add to that my refusal to give up half and half in coffee and alcohol on most evenings and it's not a lot of food in a day. One day isn't going to make or break your journey. especially if you are eating as low as you can. So when I go over for reasons of legit hunger with legit food, I have to be ok with it - arriving to that and going through some mental chatter was needed but that is where I am now for legit hungry days. For days I am sneak eating (from myself, not too bright) or just mindless eating while cooking or just stubbornly deciding to slink into the kitchen after hours - well, then I am disappointed in myself. I assess each event and I'm either ok or disappointed but I am not going to compound the problem by bargaining away future food.
One thing I do is pre-log and log throughout the day - this helps me as life fluctuates. When I pre-log two glasses of wine, I know I can knock it to one or none and get some food calories back and not go all in the red, it's kind of like my bank. But pre-logging helps me keep all meal cals in check to be sure I don't have to give up the alcohol, although I will if needed.
The biggest gift you can give yourself is to assess whatever happens. If what you are doing is working, assess the crap out of it and see what can be repeated. If you have an off day, see if you can figure out the catalyst and avoid it in the future. Assess the habits and goals, assess your reasons and try new things. But don't bargain away the next meal - you think you felt restricted with the last one, the next is going to really be upsetting.1 -

So hubby, who wanted to not weigh daily, is now weighing daily again. He's allowed to change his mind but I'm going to stick with it, at least for February. I'm about 90% ok with it - sometimes I have been curious and had a slight urge that was resisted without too much thinking but mostly I'm just accepting of the decision. I would love to be 183.anything but the truth is - I have to be ok no matter what it is, regardless of the direction. I can't let it define me or the process, nor let it guide my feelings and actions. I hope Maria is listening, she can be quite stubborn (or, so I'm told).
Planned and Prelog 3 meals? yes. B and L meals and then placeholder cals for dinner out. Meals got all out of whack and the dinner was cancelled - probably a good thing, calories wise.
Times? B 9a, L 11a and then L(2) 130p, D 7p
Non-planned eating and thoughts? Was normal hungry for breakfast and 2 hours later was hungry for lunch so I ate early thinking I would probably skip planned lunch. Had a low blood sugar dive during a walk, been a long time since that has happened, and then came back to eat a big bowl of cereal and my planned lunch on top of it. So now at 6 - not hungry (edit, was hungry at 7). Thinking I will eat fruit later if I get hungry, or some other light fare. I think this is just normal hunger cycle stuff - had less hunger yesterday but I did a lot of walking so today I am hungrier. I think this is kinda how it works when you do not fight the machine.
Hunger? yeah - calling it a hungry day!!
Exercise? 2 walks in the hood, both around 2 miles
Sleep? 1030p-645a [log the morning after]

Don’t let any one weigh-in dictate what I do.
Choose to do the work.
Choose to show up & do the actions.
Don’t give up when you get your first bit of resistance.
Stick to your habits no matter what. Ignore your ego and avoid complacency.
Keep a connection with others who understand what this journey. Isolation is not helpful
Don’t hide when weight gain happens. Assume it will. Share your truth, and don’t let your mind tell you no one will understand.
Make up your mind that you are and will be successful.
Accept that this is your struggle, and you will not be fixed. I will need to continuously manage my condition.

Shoutouts!!!
Yay, steppers, what a great job - most especially to @bethanie0825 @Jactop @TeraBbreakingFree - you guys rock, STEP ON!!
@Katmary71 I was channeling you this evening!!! I have had coats-on-the-couch and laundry-on-the-bed for weeks and it was just pissing me off! I thought of you and said, dang it - I can spend 30 minutes on this and be less chaotic in my head over it. I probably actually spent 45 minutes but both got done plus some kitchen counter stuff so thanks for being the angel on my shoulder (and using the slingshot at the other shoulder dweller!!)
@bethanie0825 I know it's hard but you are seeing the results where it actually counts. If you are really unhappy with it, maybe there are some small tweaks in your plan to consider which might shake it up a little? But honestly, if you are okay with it for a bit, you may be going through a rest period on weight loss by the scale, I have had this happen. The changes you want seem to be happening, emerging jawlines and all.
@Vegan4lyfe2012 I'm feelin' ya - I hope that the loss I had last week doesn't do a boomerang but if it does, I'll still be under and that's the important part!
@wrknonmedaily congrats on a great weigh in!! => Sometimes it feels like the dang thing has teeth, right?!?
@TeraBbreakingFree so hoping the kiddos get better and life is back to normal soon! It's so tough this time of year!
@nbbaby I think the thing that frustrates me the most, in these moments, is how long it really does take. You're already in for the beginning, just keep it up and let us know how it goes!
@Jactop I agree! I try to do a 3 mile walk every day but that isn't where the majority of my steps come, either. I park further away, use the work ladies room upstairs, etc. Lately at the new office with a huge parking deck, I am parking at the top and using the stairs to get back to my car - it all adds up! I love your ankle idea!
@TeresaW1020 yay for a great day and workout! I, too, have seen a correlation with eating later one day being followed by a day with more hunger. You go, girl - it may sometimes take a few days to get back to the patter n but you're already on your way5 -

Core/strength- did today for the first time in a few weeks, yay!
Declutter/clean- did a little
Recipe- still deciding, produce box came at dinner so didn't plan anything with it.
I started doing a few things the last couple weeks. The first is eating without reading materials, TV, or music at the table- just me focused on eating and my food. It's still weird but I'm doing better at eating slow, distracting myself, then realizing I'm full before going in the kitchen for more food. The second is more body awareness. I'm working on not overcurving my spine and squatting instead of bending over to improve my back. The former is getting easier from hip flexors becoming a little looser from yoga (actually touched the floor with my tiptoes laying on the weight bench today) and squatting I got lazy about, if I bend over now I immediately squat. Putting stuff on the floor at each gym machine is a lot of squats! I've also been making myself wait a minute between sets, I'm usually impatient and turn everything into cardio waiting 10 seconds max! It's gone pretty well focusing on breathing aside of the time I put dumbbells on the weight bench and closed my eyes only to have one roll off and land on my foot but bruise is finally gone!1 -

This was a crazy day. Wasn't hungry so didn't eat much. Had a few Parmesan crisps and a ham & cheese hot pocket.
@its_cleo when I go over on calories I just start over the next day. If I try to cut back the rest of the week I get discouraged and stressed from trying to figure out how much to eat each day so it's just easier for me physically and stress wise to just start over...new day new beginning.
@nbbaby I too am an emotional eater. I know how frustrating it is! I try to keep low-zero carb foods in the house so when I am upset I'll have things I can eat that won't put me over on my carbs like beef jerky and cheese sticks etc.. But then I find myself over eating on those 🙄. I quit buying ice cream cause that was my biggest go to food when I'm stressed. If it's in the house I AM going to eat it!

Thanks everyone for your comments on how you manage going over it. It definitely gave me something to think about. I got the weekly thing from elsewhere on MFP, and a lot of people said if they had a treat they would manage by cutting elsewhere in the week or whatever. But it's hard and yeah just results in hangry!
I will have to rethink how I do things. The other thing that is bad for me is checking the scale everyday. I've been doing that and I was frustrated on Sunday when my weight was up so that is partly why there was a bit of a blowout.
So I am trying to only checking Sun/Wed/Fri.
Yesterday I did ok.
@Katmary71 I think that's a great approach to weightlifting. I like to go fast too but I've learned a lot to stop and pay attn to form. Also I've learned those big guys in the gym- some of them are so focussed on higher weight higher weight, they do the exercises poorly, like poor range of motion. If they were forced to do the whole rep properly they wouldn't be able to do it lol. And ouch on the foot!
@prowell57 ice cream is my weakness too.
@raleighgirl09 glad you got some tidying up done. I'm only one person and yet somehow I still can't keep on top of tidying everything. ]]

@its_cleo I found dwelling on an occasional binge is a huge mistake for me. It puts me in the mindset of "well since I blew my diet I should eat all the crap I've been depriving myself of" and all that does is extend my binge
I do better if I start fresh with the next meal and try to figure out what caused my cravings. I learned from this group that eating too few calories or not getting enough sleep can cause cravings the next day.
Daily weigh ins definately sabotage my weight loss efforts. If my weight is up I get discouraged and if it's down I feel like I have some wiggle room.0 -
On the subject of binging my weakness is ice cream as well and chocolate in general! I was buying light ice cream for awhile but I'd eat the whole pint. More than once I went ice cream crazy and would eat two then melt the rest as fast as I could. Those stupid pints are expensive! On my brother's birthday he had an ice cream cake, I just ate the awesome ice cream out of two pieces and it was 700 calories! I guess I can always stop at Baskin Robbins for a scoop but that was painful when I logged it! With nothing higher calorie to binge on my craving is butternut squash or weirdly low carb/low calorie tortillas with vegetables and salsa. Neither ends up being that many calories, it's more the act of stuffing my face that I'm disappointed in.
@its_cleo good luck with the trainer today! I agree about form. I'm down a little on arm weights after not doing them for a few weeks but until I'm a bit stronger at least my form is good! Still stinks to be doing the same weight I was doing last summer but I'm trying to be grateful that I'm able to do them again.
@AustinRuadhain Definitely try and give yourself credit, you're so consistent on getting in good exercise and eating in a way that nourishes your body, you have a lot to be proud of and you're an inspiration!1 -

Thought on my (cold) walk today:
There are so many circumstances that make following a plan and focusing on weight loss difficult - but if I don't strive to do it even under less than ideal conditions, when will I? My life is one set of less ideal circumstances after another! Last week - moving offices and off hours and eating out, this week - learning a new office routine, son had surgery and I'm on the help team and a lot of eating out, next week is the same! All of this makes it hard to do the menus and shopping and cooking but I've done them. And it's cold again and raining and crappy, grey weather - I've been stuffy and medicine headed and my hubby is cranky with his regular SAD moods. Can my weight loss journey, commitments to myself and need to achieve great health and fitness really afford to wait for the perfect week?
Don't know the last one I ever had, if I have indeed ever had one.
So inspriring! Thank you!1 -

@raleighgirl09, I don’t know if Maria is listening, but Teresa is! I can also be very stubborn and let myself forget that this weight loss journey is truly a process. None of us should define ourselves by what the scale says or what our calorie count is on a particular day. It has to be the sum of the whole that matters.
@Katmary71, I’ve been really trying to work on my posture. My back hates it when I slouch. I have also finally learned to squat when I pick something up, which works great for me unless my knees are hurting!
Ohhhh and I had a 10 lb dumbbell fall on the side of my foot the other day because I was rushing. We gots to slow it down!!!
@Cornanda, great steps!!
Hi everyone! I just looked at the clock and I’ve got to head out to ladies Bible study!! I’ll try to do a better job of catching up with you all tomorrow. Ohhhhhh and the Slimpossibles have a surprise coming so be on the lookout!!

Thoughts for the day-It was a busy day! The rest of my mom’s furniture arrived for her soon to be new bedroom and I deep cleaned my dining room. The chairs still had glitter on them from Christmas!
My eating was good and my workout was intense and I think I messed up somewhere with my form because my lower back is hurting!!! I've got my heated back massager on it right now! Tomorrow, I’m going to skip the cardio day on BOD and walk my treadmill. She uses these slider things I just can’t do it. So, I’m not!

Hi troops. Quite the day. Still helping my son and family and then mom landed in the hospital with pneumonia and work got needy. Running to and fro (lots of fro!!!) getting from one hot spot of help needed to the next. No walk today - shamefully less than 4,000 steps, I think. Not going to worry about it. Cheers, love to all, keep fighting the good fight.
Planned and Prelog 3 meals? yes but it all got switched around - choices still on plan
Times? B 11a, L 130p, D 6p
Non-planned eating and thoughts?
Hunger? i think low hunger but i was so busy and had so much competing for my attention that if hunger was one of them, it was ignored
Exercise? none - sadly. Had I jumped through hoops, I could have, I recognize that. Hoops were not in my energy bucket today.
Sleep? 1030p-645a [log the morning after]
Assessed the previous day / week / month?0
