Daily Habit Checkin
Replies

Habits:
1. Stay within calorie range - cuz it does the trick
2. Get my fluids in - also, cuz it does the trick
3. Continue to identify an area of health / nutrition / exercise that I want / need to know more about on this road to smaller pants 😉
4. Eat 5 fruits & veggies - cuz it’s healthy & recommended to keep the nasties away!
5. Go for a walk with the mut - cuz it makes me happy to see her whirling tail
6. Start & finish work to time - cuz I resent working for free for no thanks & it is always there to do

I've logged almost all of my high days during the past ~7.5 years, a lot by approximation, of course. Every year where I have data for the high/low single days, high was over 5K. None of the highs were over 6K.
Am I likely to have moved some late night noshing to the next day while I was logging those days? Plausible. So the days could have been 6K or 7K, I don't think quite 8K. But let's call it 8K.
Could we then plan a worse possible case day and delay the previous day's dinner to 00:01 so that it will count as part of the high day? SURE.
But I am still having some trouble seeing how we then get to double up the total calories to get to 19K!

I'm thinking hummus and cake is the only way I could do that. It would require effort - and no doubt days of recovery. Wonder if it would make the desire to eat cake go away forever?1
-
Can't believe I just went to check the calories in some of my favourite high calorie cakes. You know? I don't think I could do it. Wow. What a weird thought that is. I've never seriously thought about what the maximum calories I could consume in one day is.2
-
I have added a couple of my binges in my head and the totals are horrendous….( shuddering )…. You have no idea how many calories a true binge can generate….2 dozen or more cookies and a half gallon of milk would only be the tip of the iceberg…add in a huge sub, some pizza and some candy….when I actually stop and think about it, it is ridiculous to consume that much food in 24 hours and then do that for a few days or weeks….3
-
Unfortunately, I do have an idea what a true binge can generate - but try tallying the calories, Connie, 19,000 is a lot! It would require specialized binging of very specific high calorie foods to be able to hold that much food! I actually found it quite relieving...it put something into perspective. Like maybe there is a bottom.3

Wednesday April 13 - hit and miss third day!
1500 calories 5 days a week (2264)
⭐ Min 10,000 - aim for 15,000 steps (11,138)
⭐ 30 minutes of physio 5 days a week (day off) 15 minutes exercise bike (0)
⭐ 10 bunnies a day (11.5)
Can't wait for that "first 5 star day" - it will come.3 -
@conniewilkins56 I‘ve had bouts of “fog eating” to an awful excess before today, though I would not like to estimate the cals…I would like to say it is in the past, but not sure I can or…. if it ever is, though would not say had the emotional roller coster of bing eating
As a school nurse, I have done… oh countless assessments, for referrals to ED clinics within CAMHS … seen the emotional damage to many families ….but it always distresses me how hard it is to get children and young people into services for binge eating.
In fact, I think only one success … and that took some toing and froing….. and I’ve been in this job a long time.
Not sure how you have found support in the US as an adult?4 -

Hey: this is the mutt labour Union office and we are investigating a sub par utilization complaint by one of our members: Cocker near Moor is their name I believe. Management is hereby getting placed on notice! 🙀😘1

If I were the Mutt Union, I’d just proceed to guilty verdict, sentencing & the hanging - day went wrong … what can I say? Tomorrow is another … 🤔🤗2

⭐ 10 bunnies a day (11.5)
I'm staying under maintenance - but a little less would be good!4 -
Get up at the earlier hour (5:30 am)
Take meds on time
Do basic self-care
Eat the meals that were planned, but no more
Drink two glasses of cold liquid in addition to the hot tea.
Leave the kitchen clean when you are done at night.
We'll see how I do today.4 -
You go Alexandra!
Connie, I've always found my 🐹s to be much happier if my goals were "I don't want to exceed 1500 Cal by more than 50 or 75, as opposed to wanting to be under.
Under encourages my 🐹s to try and overdo the deficit. **AT** encourages them to define a reasonable pace to stick to, and the desire to figure out the MOST I can fit within that budget.
So instead of having angry or sad 🐹s that are being told they can't have things, I have curious ones trying to figure out how to fit the most within their budget.
Laurie... based on other posts not only are you not gaining currently; but you are in fact losing, which is what you want.
Yet every day you've posted a higher intake than your official goal and denied yourself credit for having achieved your (evidenced by your losses) deficit
Direction * time beats speed.
If you've been losing at the above 1900 average you've posted... 1500 may be too low for you to be aiming for! How about 1800 or 1750 as goals to aim for?
Based on your steps posted, if you weren't using a Fitbit (which I believe you are), MFP very active would be your base guide in terms of approximations.3 -
I just noticed this thread existed. 😮 I Guess I'll join in, too, for accountability counting. Here are the habits I'm trying to develop:
- Drink 2,640mL of water daily
- Stay within the 1,515 calorie limit daily until the milestone goal achievement
- 30 minutes of any kind of exercise 5 days/week
- 5-10 🐰 a day!!!
The day just started, so let's see how well I do today.4 -

Yay!….I did it!

Oh PAV - your logic is good - but my weight went up a bit and is now at a stand still. I don't think I'm eating enough to have gained any real weight - but eating enough to appear to be at a bit of a stand still for the past week and a bit.3

Woohoo - but why not 6 of 6???
3 -
@Janatki I too read 6/6 there, good job! plus... I WOULD count the jacket spud... especially if it is large enough to count for two bunnies! I know the British guidelines exclude fruits and vegetables "normally used as starches"; but, I'm a rebel. Please explain to me the nutritional benefits of a sweet potato over and above those of a normal potato4
-
Oh the sweet potato/ white potato debate! I don’t get it either….. veggies are veggies! Though Australia does “mock” the British 5-a-day guidelines as being too little & we should be aiming to their 10-a- day, especially with the ever rising rates of obesity in British kids from 5 to when they reach 11!
I suppose then, by not counting the humble spud, we then get a potential 6-a-day in?! 😏
I seriously have to work at the 5-a -day…. Only seem to manage it well when not at work or if the eldery Atki’s are behaving themselves!
I only counted 5/5 as was a non work day - and who goes to work on those 🙄🤐😶😯4 -
