    What would I have done differently? Skipped the 1/2 glass of port wine in the jacuzzi last night

    Now why would you want to do that... sounds like a nice way to end your productive day :bigsmile:

    Would totally have enjoyed it but it wasn't very good port! That's why it was 1/2 a glass!! :laugh: Now if it had been great....

    Well, here I am all by myself!! :brokenheart: Really ok about that I guess since it's doing me good to check-in daily... but anyone who wants to join is certainly welcome!! It's a quick and easy way to stay on track!

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes! Even with a second glass of wine!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yep

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Had a deficit but did get a little closer to my calorie limit

    What would I have done differently? Had 1 more healthy snack and one less glass of wine

    I'm here... I'm here :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Been doing a great job with the workouts but having a hard time with the calorie intake. I am not going over too bad but I should not be going over at all and I would love not to eat ALLLL my exercise calories. That is the only way I can lose... UGH... I will keep up with the great workouts and hopefully it will all fall back into place.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No - over slightly
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set any but I did go to the gym and track my calories
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? 55 mins on the elliptical
    What would I have done differently? not eat all my exercise calories and then some...
    What is today's personal goals? 60 mins elliptical, some weights and not eat all my exercise calories

    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? stayed within my nutritional goals, enjoyed my nutrition class

    That Sounds interesting!! Where do you do that?

    I'm taking a 12 week class at a place called Nutritional Weight and Wellness in St. Paul. It's pretty interesting - the main ideas are to lower your sugar intake to no more than 8 tsp (32 carbs) per meal, and to eat 3 balanced meals and 2-3 balanced snacks a day. A balanced meal or snack is 4oz protien, a carb (grain, fruit, veggie), and a healthy fat (olive oil, butter, heavy cream, avacado, nuts or nut butter). To eat less carbs you pretty much have to stop eating most processed foods. Oh and no artificial sweetener (so no diet pop). I would have to say that eating more protein, less carbs and more snacks has really helped me to stop having cravings in the late afternoons like I always used to. I'm eating all the 'right' foods pretty easily - but I do need to pay more attention to serving sizes because I'm eating too much of the fats.

    Sounds like great "learnin'" to me!! In my head I know good choices but sure could use a pep talk once in awhile!
