What worked for you today?

Giving up my bread for my lunch sandwich because I had a doughnut this morning and getting in a quick visit to the gym at lunch. Being accountable one day at time.

ate a light dinner of green beans and cottage cheese after eating pancakes earlier today, balancing this thing out.

Counting sodium kept calories in range

Thinking I’ll switch it up
and try counting daily sodium 🧂

I pulled a t-shirt out this morning and it was way too big when I put it on. I tried tying a knot in the hem to see if I could make it work because it was one of my favorites. I looked in the mirror and realized I have a waist now! I always thought I was stick straight, but there is a little dip there now and I'm so excited! Not even mad about the shirt anymore.

I'm with 200Karen--I find if I count my sodium and try to keep it at at or around 1500 mg it takes care of the other stuff, lol. And what else worked for me today? Lifting hay bales and bags of bedding, mucking out stalls!

Working out! I've been procrastinating so much and it was almost 6 when I FINALLY got to it but I feel so much better after

Reminding myself that the problem wasn't going to be solved with food.

After several days of coming in way under my calorie goal and not realizing until after I eat and log dinner (which is usually late evening) I am pre-logging today. I don't want to squeeze in a snack an hour or 2 before bed when I'm not even hungry just because I'm below minimum requirements. Ideally I'd like to eat dinner earlier but that's just not possible with my current schedule but it seems pre-logging will enable me to adjust for any missing calories throughout the day.

Waiting for hunger ✅

Rode a bike for the first time in years. I've been nervous to do it, but I'm making it a point to face fears and I didn't crash. Woo hoo!

Celebrating 99 consecutive days of tracking my food.

Had a craving for peanut butter! 🥜 Decided to wait it out for 20 minutes to see if it would pass. Ended up setting the timer ⏱ on my watch for 20 minutes and watched Monday night football 🏈 with my husband to pass the time.

The result? The craving disappeared! 😌Went on a walk with my dog 🐕 instead. Glad I listened to reason instead of giving in! 🙌🙌🙌

Cutting myself some slack on food prep. I'm (still) recovering from shingles and decided I wanted some minestrone soup. I used some leftover chopped onion and chopped some celery, then just used frozen veggies for the rest.

Getting help with heavy lifting of furniture; just because I'm stronger doesn't mean I can do it all myself yet! Even if I WANT to.

Found some keto cookies at the store without nasty-tastin' stevia or another weird-tasting* sugar substitute in them. It was the first "baked goods" I've had in two months!

*If you can enjoy sugar substitutes, I envy you. There's so many options out there. Unfortunately, I've tried all of 'em and they all taste jaw-droppingly gross to me. They're allll yours.

Positive attitude spoken out loud 👏

A motivational sign I saw posted online that said:
If you quit now, you'll end up right back where you first began.
And when you first began, you were desperate to be where you are RIGHT now.
KEEP GOING!

It really resonated with me because even though I'm making slow progress, it's progress that I felt was impossible this time last year. I'm doing it. I just need to keep on doing it.
