    Both days were going well until evening then I made bad choices Thursday and just overate in general tonight. I eat light during the day then go overboard at dinner. I’ll get a handle on this eventually! I’m resting a bit from hiit ad weights this week so I got in some yoga this evening and a light run. Hydration has been good as well.

    Good day after having some ups and downs last week. Still trying to listen to hunger cues and not eat when bored. Dropped 1.6 pounds so that makes me happy but I swear that could also just be a normal fluctuation for me- set point weight is for real! I’m going to go mainly carnivore for the week to kick some cravings and see how it goes with another crazy work schedule. Bring on the bacon!

    The past week was an August goals fail but life win. Did not work out or meal plan but spent lots of time with family and friends and while I may have eaten some nonLCHF foods, I did not derail myself and was back to my regular routine yesterday.

    After work food prep for today-cuke/red onion salad, zucchini breakfast fritters, butternut squash soup and homemade salmon burgers. Spin class booked for tomorrow morning.

    @tishsmith101, love the attitude! I’m going to have to adopt that myself. Today has been a good day for watching portions, staying hydrated and listening to hunger cues. Yesterday was going great til my saboteur (and my weakness for sweets) struck and we had tasty desserts. Oh well, tomorrow is another day!

    I was good on vacation and worked out at least once each day...back to twice a day since being back home...feels good to push the limits!!! Food is mostly on target, could always use a little tweaking!!!

    Good day overall, albeit a little carby. Didn’t overdo it at any meal and got plenty of water and movement for the day. I need to up the protein a bit as tonight I felt the urge to snack but distracted myself with other things.

    Probably should have had more water today after a 4 mile walk in the humidity but I downed a Gatorade so that should help. Surprisingly I wasn’t super hungry however I did snack on nuts after dinner which then made me feel too full. These are the times I want to just say no. Otherwise I hit my calorie goal and felt pretty good about the day.

    Carby day but now awful by any means and I managed to stay at my calorie goal. Hydration was also good along with getting plenty of movement. I did catch myself snacking mid afternoon from boredom so stopped immediately and got busy with other things. Hard habit to break!
