    Feeling very low today. The only thing I can think of to say is TGIF.

    I feel ya, Amanda. I am exhausted and bummed, too. Hopefully we both get some rest over the weekend. Hang in there!!

    1/27 - 163.5 - Sodium? Uptick from the cheesecake 2 days ago? I have no idea why I'm up today. I was under calorie goal (estimate since I was working late and didn't see what BF put in dinner specifically. He told me, but I couldn't estimate measurements) and didn't eat back any of my very miniscule exercise calories. I woke up about 15 minutes before my alarm today so I've already knocked out my FeelGoodPlan workout. Debating if I want to attempt yoga with the pups finally settled down and back sleeping (it won't last). Already finished all my scripting and journaling once I hit post on this... Grocery shopping today as well as taking the pup to the vet. A lot of driving. Wish I could take the pup in with me into the grocery store. I'm a tad nervous using curbside pickup as I had a bad experience with them after I broke my back in Kansas. The produce they picked for me had a bunch of mold on it! And the milk was out of date. I've heard good things from friends about the store here so I'm hoping it works out. Now to make sure I have everything I need in my cart... eek! I guess this risk is better than driving the 40 minute (one way) trip into town twice!

    Previous Day's Comments
    1/22 - Headed out of town in a bit and there's a chance we won't come back until tomorrow (bringing work things to work on the road as a precaution) which also means no weigh in until Tuesday at the earliest. I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. BF's dad and brother weren't so bad, though they all got a little silly Friday night and I went to bed with some loud sleepy music to drown out the loud talking/laughing. They left yesterday around noon and I spent the day putting my house/routine back in order. Pups are getting along now, for 3 mornings now they've taken to play fighting for hours as soon as I let them out after waking up. It's been an hour now and I can still hear them going at it. I'm glad, though. Harley still isn't sure about bed and couch sharing, but she's getting better. I'm working to get back into routine myself, but travel will postpone a little bit of that. For the most part, I stuck to my habits, though.
    1/23 - DNP
    1/24 - Not bad for not having weighed, tracked, and generally not checking in. Plus, TOM showed up on Saturday afternoon a little earlier than expected. And then travel, which not only lowers my water intake but also increases my eating out/unhealthy options. It's currently chilly, but a beautiful rainy morning. I did my workout to the sounds of rain on a metal roof. Journaled to the same sound. Just did a couple sun salutations under my porch overhang to thank Mother Nature for the rain as yesterday it was announced we were in a burn ban due to the dry conditions. I've taken to doing 3 iterations of sun salutation-forward fold-half fold-forward fold-sun salutation iterations a morning. It gets me focusing on my breath first thing, I always go to out on my back porch/deck (depending on weather) to get fresh air, and on clear days, I get a beautiful sunrise which always lifts my mood first thing. Despite missing my beautiful sunrise, it lifted my mood but that's due to the aforementioned dry conditions in the area being remedied. I went shopping and got myself the makings of a nice cobb salad I'll be able to munch on for at least 2 days this week, if not more. I also got the ingredients for making my own wontons/steamed dumplings which BF and I both like. Hoping this week will be a quick turnaround back into good habits after last week's upheaval. Also, it's good to be back here (: I've missed you all.
    1/25 - Oh I'm so proud of that number! I ended up making a GIANT cobb salad yesterday and BF decided to be a smarty pants and say "I hope that's not for dinner! It looks good, but too many green things" and so we had taco salad for dinner bahahahah! Today I did my workout, as planned, and am all caught up. Rest day tomorrow. Workout Friday, my day off, and then vet visit with Smoke for more shots and follow up on surgery. Hopefully cleared to bathe and walk! Harley is so mad for stopping our evening routine and bugs me every night. Sorry girl, I miss it, too. Cobb salad again today for lunch. I did eat breakfast but kept portions fairly small and hope dinner can stay small, but filling, as well to avoid eating back all my exercise calories. I have the last of the cobb salad for tomorrow and plenty of leftover veg for more salads! Hopefully I can eat it all before it goes bad.
    1/26 - I indulged in a small slice of my homemade strawberry swirl cheesecake (everything, including crust, is from scratch) after dinner. I was right at expected calories for Fitbit and under by 57 on MFP despite that splurge. It is lactose-heavy, though, so I'm not surprised at the little extra bloat, both visibly and on the scale. No workout today as I did 2 in a row already. Back at it tomorrow. Will be mindful about getting up and moving through the day, though. I have leftover cobb salad to finish up for lunch. Not sure dinner yet, but I should know by lunchtime and can adjust from there. Hoping to fast today and not need breakfast. Yesterday I was very nauseous and ate but hoping today I can push it a little further. Dinner was also later last night than it has been in a little while so I should be able to "tough it out" until lunch (and by "tough it out" I mean avoid the habit/boredom/mindless eating I'm used to while working. If I get nauseous or actually hungry, I'll eat)

    @CamandJarvis Eating salad before it goes bad!! That’s my problem. DH seldom eats salad at home so how does 1 person eat the 3 heads of romaine that come in a package? I make wrapped “subs” and salads for my OMAD but it’s never enough!

    Oh absolutely! The only saving grace is that our fridge has a drawer that I can set temps real low. It doesn't quiiiiiiite freeze everything in there, but it keeps it very crispy cold. But it's a short drawer (think juuuuust barely tall enough to fit a carton of strawberries in, height wise) so I have to improvise my storage containers to fit all my produce in there. They'll keep for a bit longer, but not as long as I need to eat it all. I'm glad when the younger kiddos are here, stepdaughter looooves veggies, even more than I do. At least I waste less with her around because we'll snack on them together as well as add to lunches and dinners. Plus she always asks for veggies so she keeps me eating them! Wish she was here more than 3 months a year, I could use that subtle hint hint nudge nudge she gives about eating. (She's also a cross country and track runner. I can't keep up with that...)

    @enlightenme3 yes - the more veggie forward, the easier you'll probably find weight loss and, I've noticed that the more veggie forward, the less cravings.

    @fmfdfa2020 Yay on the no's !! NSF (No Sugar, No Flour)

    Thank you @SherryRueter . I saw a few posts back where you had gone 7 days NSF and called it "sugar sober," which is perfect. That's exactly how I feel - sugar sober. The cravings for sugar/flour control my daily life. I'm so glad that I'm past the first 6 days and the cravings are starting to subside, and I'm feeling somewhat normal. I'm definitely not one who can eat a little and stop. I wish the best in your NSF journey as well!

    @fmfdfa2020 & @SherryRueter After you have been sugar free for awhile, if you eat a piece of birthday cake you will get a hangover headache! I speak from experience! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
