So happy to be on the other side of the 170.
Instead of eating out of boredom, I draw, make progress on a quilt, clean or exercise. I have a list of chores that I can work on when I am bored. I also prepare snacks I can eat when I am eating out of boredom that satisfy the need to crunch, like carrots and corn on the cob. This way, I can fill my mouth and stomach and still get some nutrition while I am at it.

@cormierannie Great!
@ShockinglyFit Nice loss! Great advice on what you do instead of eating out of boredom. I also like to eat veggies (snap peas are a go to for me) and I freeze grapes, nice little sweet snack!

@HorsesRock9999 I do similar with frozen blueberries. If you add it to yogurt, it makes it like frozen yogurt!

My exercise was great all last week but I went over on calories every day and now I'm punished for it! Hopefully shock I need to get myself back in control.

How is everyone doing this week?
If you would like to share! List one positive and one thing you are working on this week (or more if you would like):
One Positive:
- Taking a moment each day and reflecting on the positives of my health journey! I am being kinder to myself with self affirmations than negative self-talk!
One thing working on this week:
- Sleep / I have been staying up a little too late at night. I am usually on a good sleep schedule, but this week I haven’t stuck to my normal bedtime routine and I am not as energetic! Tonight! 💤 😴 💤

One Positive:
Normally setbacks would destroy me, and I would just keep gaining and gaining. But after my weight gain from taking antibiotics, I got right back at it this time and have lost that weight and am moving on.One Thing Working on This Week:
I keep wanting to eat just to eat, not really because I'm hungry, which is just going to add calories I don't need. I am focusing on being aware of what I am eating, and why I am eating it!4 -

@tallymh Morning! Great job and I understand a set back. I love your positive attitude and jumping back in and going for it! Great reminder on mindful eating! :)

Mindful Eating - - Thanks @tallymh for the reminder of mindful eating!
Overview
Mindful eating is a practice of paying attention to your food and your body's signals while eating, without judgment. It involves being present in the moment, noticing the flavors, textures, and sensations associated with your food, as well as your body's hunger and fullness cues. This practice can lead to a more enjoyable and satisfying eating experience, and may also help with weight management and reducing disordered eating behaviors.-google

Friday 8.15 Weigh in
PW: 165.9
Cow: 166.9
At least I kept off one of the two pounds I got rid of last week. I honestly don’t know what I can do any better. I think exercising is keeping the scale from moving down but I feel smaller & better.
