Sorry I've been MIA, everytime I tried to log into this group it wouldn't complete the request.

How have the past 2 days been? Are you still logging????

Any exciting plans for today?

    I hosted a dinner party for 12 people yesterday so there was a lot of cooking involved. I didnot stay within my calories and was too busy with cooking, cleaning and taking care of kiddos to report out here. So i gave myself permission to not work out or count my calories till i get back on my feet (which is tomorrow). Today, i just want to study some and spend time with my children. I will back to logging faithfully and working out like i should.

    So glad to write all this out and to have this outlet to share.

    Today is looking good, but yesterday you had a lot of sodium intake. Did you increase your water at all to counter the salt? Today you might be just a bit swollen from water retention.

    I think you're definitely on the right track, just monitor that sodium; I'm guilty on that too.

    I try to allow myself a cheat day about 1 x a month. I'm thinking today just might be that day. I personally think it helps keep me in check. I think you're on the right path with getting back into the swing of things today for sure.

    Wow, 12 people dinner party? I don't even think I've got that many close friends to have over at the same time. :)

    Amazing!!!! I try to exercise daily because my motto is if I don't then I won't.

    Had an major energy crash yesterday, couldn't focus on my work or really think straight, and craved carbs (quick fix?). Instead of viewing this as an inevitable giving-up-for-the-day, I *planned* to get a big snack that would keep me within calories. My personal challenge this week was tackling mental road blocks and realizing that deciding a day was a failure would, drum roll please... lead to failure.

    Well, I found pop chips (!), and drank a bunch of water to even out the carbo-load and salt. Logging calories might be my way out of a vicious snack cycle. I worked out this morning and have energy, to boot. Feeling positive about a successful week 1 -- excited to see what will come after 7 more!

    one decision at a time, thank you all,

    I'm consistently within my calorie goals, trying to correct my percentages to match. Feeling great, almost looking forward to weighing this week :-). Working on building stamina on the treadmill.

    Haha that's what I done yesterday hubby was at work and came home and was like wow you did a lot today, I haven't been hungry today hardly at all I don't know if that all the calories I burned yesterday or my water intake or just my sinus mess but either way bring on the weight loss I'm way motivated after getting back in a medium shirt this week :bigsmile:

    Posting here on day 7. I put on 1.5 lbs this week. My TOM is approaching. The calendar and my stomach tell me so. WHY does my body crave carbs for a few days, and so strongly, as it approaches??? ARgh!!! Anyway, I had a great start to the week, staying in a calorie range for losing, then came the weekend and that was it. It didn't help that I had a family stress trigger happening in the midst of it all. (I'm a stress eater, too.) I guess I should be happy that all I gained was 1.5lbs from last Monday.

    Well...today's a new day and I'm starting it off right! Best of luck to everyone! Keep that willpower up, hit those workouts, and let's all get to feeling and looking more fit!

    still logging - have been MIA as I was out of town to visit my daughter for her baby shower. I caught up on my log for the weekend and am determined to make this week a good one (as soon as I catch up on a little sleep tonight). I will try to go back and get caught up with everyone's posts. Hope all is well and we are headed forward!
