heyy guys so how is everyone doing today??
i admit i'm a little off my game i only have 300 calories left for the day and is only 3... very stressed... how do u guys deal with stress when theres not time to exercise?'

but i heard a good tip today
"Adding in really works, taking away never does,"
Add in healthy goodies you really love, like deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas. Slip those favorite fruits into your bag lunch and breakfast cereal; add the veggies into soups, stews, and sauces. Instead of thinking constantly about that food you can't have.

I was running all day today with school and ate really weird. It's 9pm and I still have 780 calories left, but they are all carbs. I ALWAYS go over on fat and protein and don't get enough carbs... Right now my internal debate is whether I should eat anything more. I'm not really all that hungry, but your body needs carbs to burn fat...

I can't seem to get on track... my daughter and her family has been staying with us until their house is completed. We are working every night at their house. I eat good dinners before I go, but I am starved when we get home. I have a hard time with the week-ends also. I have lost 50 pounds 3 years ago and have gained 30 of it back. I do not want to gain the rest of my weight back. Sorry to vent, I am just aggravated because I can't seem to do this... HELP...

Update:

weekly goal: gym 5 days a week - DONE!!!
daily/weekly downfall: I tend to go WAY over calories on weekends - Still ahead
daily/weekly positive behavior: Zumba this afternoon - 4 Zumba workouts so far this week and one more tomorrow
daily/weekly inspiration or tip for the group: I read an interesting article yesterday that said that if you aren't getting at least 7 hours of sleep, you are increasing your chances of being obese: 6hrs - 23% more likely, 5 hrs - 50%, ≤4hrs - 73%!!!
If you don't get enough rest, your body decreases the hormones that make you feel full and INCREASES the ones that make you want to eat. And it only takes 2 days of less than 4 hours sleep to change the metabolism of your cells so they work like a type 2 diabetic's (that's a really bad thing).
Gives a whole new meaning to "Beauty sleep."

daily/weekly inspiration or tip for the group: Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded. - Goethe
