What worked for you today?

Increased treadmill speed by 0.2 miles per hour. Not much but any improvement is a win.

Prelogging all my food. For tomorrow, too. And I can just grab that food tomorrow, safe in the knowledge that that is within my calories, and if I get a little more because it's running day tomorrow, I can fit in an extra treat. Ooh, maybe peanut butter with chocolate chips...

Day 2 of B,G, & A on top of Day 62 of a regular yoga practice.

Exercise. I came home from work and got in a nice jog--600 or so calories added to my remaining amount after breakfast and lunch. I'll eat back at least 300 of those. And I had forgotten how that would happen, so when I entered the exercise and saw the new number I had to play with for dinner, I was psyched.

Took my daughter to McDonalds. Deal was 2 breakfast sandwiches for $4 otherwise 1 at regular price (a little under $3). She gave me one. I took it with me to work so that I could log here to see if it was worth calories. It was 460 calories. I saved it for my daughter. Not gonna eat calorie bombs if I can help it.

Taking advantage of the longer period of daylight to squeeze in a second outdoor walk after class.

I am excited for time change on March 8. My dogs will get a better evening walk once the sun is up a bit longer.

I was planning to get on the treadmill to run 5 miles but then looked outside and it was clear and sunny and warm. I just went out and did it. So glad I did because rain is coming.

I have to plan my exercise the day before and then plan everything else around it. Helps me get it in.

Love this thread.

Walking an hour early to beat the next wave of rain.

Finishing off my homemade beef jerky for a nice high protein snack, snug in the knowledge that there’s a fresh batch marinating and ready to go straight in the dehydrator.

I'm getting the hang of the food scale and weighed everything last night that I'd be eating today and logged it. Today is easy, especially because last night we made a big batch and are using leftovers for the next couple days, so I don't have to question whether something fits into my calories or not.

BOOM! I love your reply and way of thinking--YAY YOU and YAY time change/spring time

I made a deal.

I didn't want to go running, so I told myself that I didn't have to... as long as I stayed under calories. I got hungry, I ate some chocolate and mini marshmallows (lol), so my *kitten* went running.

Listening to my body. I felt a bit more hungry than usual an hour after dinner tonight, so I decided to go over my cals and had some popcorn. I went over by 17 and feel absolutely fine about that.

I was grouchy, so I took a nap instead of eating.

I love that. What a great alternative--and probably more effective.

Giving into a craving I’ve been having for weeks for chips, guacamole and salsa, all while keeping it in my calorie allowance by making a low cal lunch (soup and cucumbers 150 calls ) and very low cal dinner ( roasted veggies and cod...about 250 calls) then enjoying a nice helping of chips salsa and guacamole. I don’t do things like this often but it really helps to give into cravings from time to time (73 pounds lost...in maintenance for 11 months)

I love this thread as there are lots of good ideas and suggestions. Mine was pre-logging and having food prepped. That is key for me as I'm especially exhausted once I get home from work and am trying to take care of family and all the things.

My alarm worked at 3:15 so I could haul my *kitten* to the gym. :yawn:

My alarm also went off at 3:15. It's a vibration-based alarm that sometimes bats at me and sometimes eats my hair to wake me up. Some people call it "cat".
