    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Fought the strong urges that I had to eat out at Mexican Restaurants. Didn't exactly stick with my plan, but did stay under in calories.
    What would I have done differently? not had the Dipped Cone from McDonalds.
    What are today's personal goals? try not to overeat. It will be a challenging day. Eating out at someone's house for lunch... No food plan for today.
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...) = Dipped Cone from McDonalds. I won't get that, again. It was okay & not worth the extra 100 calories. Would rather just have the Vanilla Cone from there in the future.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Went a little astray last night. My guy brought over something to drink :/
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, took my stepson to gym, tho it was short visit as I was crazy busy, still worked my arms.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Nothing really, went over budget in cals and didnt get enough exercise in. Oh well, it's a new day, right?.
    What would I have done differently? Definately would've like more time. Busy with work, dinner, son's birthday party this evening, Daughter's school project, etc. Wish I wouldn't keep forgetting to bring my tennies into work, I could walk on breaks and lunch. Hard to do in heels. :/
    What is today's personal goals? Try to find time to workout AT ALL today, as my son's party is this evening. And to try NOT to eat any of the pizza, cookie cake and ice cream that I will be serving. I am making a 'zucchini pizza' casserole dish where you use zucchini as a 'crust' and I bought skinny cow 150 cal ice cream sandwhiches so that I do not feel too deprived tonight. (I am making sure I take it light today as I def wanna sneak a piece of crazy bread this evening!)
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...)? Made cooking light's Quinoa Meatballs with spaghetti squash (like spaghetti and meatballs) surprisingly a very good substitution on occasion.
    Mood today? Extremely happy the weekend is here!

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? drinking a bit more

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Didn't track. Did good until evening when we went to the boat club. Lots of snacks. Did pretty well but too much trouble to track and probably ate more than I think.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No! It gets so much harder to lose! :grumble:
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Made a big pot of chicken tortilla soup. Freezer meals for 3 days! We went to Nauvoo and walked through historical area again. Lovely day! Trees are beginning to turn.
    What is today's personal goals? Want to get below 190! This will stay my daily goal until I hit 189.
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc...)?
    Mood today? :frown: Feeling bummed about weight loss progress. Lost more than 15 lbs in 1 month and it has taken me 2 months to lose 8. Not as structured as we were when we were gone! Back to normal life is hard! Not keeping the momentum.
