    green- yes

    blue-yes
    7/31

    I wanted to thank everyone for this challenge. It was breakfast potluck at work today. I ate a bit/ logged it. Then had some more poor choices through the day. By dinner time I had very few cals left. decision point. do I throw in the towel- eat and start fresh tomorrow? or do I make wise choices and stay within my cals for the day?

    I decided to make wise choices, because nothing I ate was worth having a red day and if I am going to go red I want to plan and enjoy it. Not waste it on junk. :happy:

    I too was in a potluck situation at lunch and I had triple servings of dessert! Ugh!!!!!! Luckily it was a nice day so I went for a looooong walk and managed to keep it green.

    We watched our friend's kids last night doing dinner and a movie. I couldn't really tell what a serving of soup was so I did my best guessing what 2 bowls equaled vs. 1/8 of the soup. I did a lot of walking that my fitbit doesn't seem to want to give me credit for if I do any other intentional exercise and log it on MFP.

    Doing well so far. Had a gross food day yesterday but still stayed green. It's beautiful out today (-1 degree Celcius) so we'll be taking the dog out for a big walk in the sun by the water.

    I had a difficult week due work and studies, but went trampolining today to get rid of the stress and it worked its magic as always :wink: just the scales numbers are being frustrating since the beginning of this year, but hopefully I´m gonna break it soon, have a nice Sunday :flowerforyou:

    Lots of challenges today, but had small servings or skipped and kept it green. I think the water helps

    I am getting better at planning my eating. Ever since I have been doing more with working out daily I often will short myself calories early in the day and then have loads for dinner/dessert. Sometimes I make myself feel not so great because I am so hungry and dinner by necessity is later than I would like it to be.

    Today I intentionally ate expecting at least 500 additional calories from elliptical. Guess what - I ate appropriate portions, had dessert, never felt hungry, and came in green. :love:

    I'm calling this a Red day. My Fitbit would not link to MFP, so I didn't have any exercise calories. I walked 2.25 miles today. My food diary shows I was at -178 without any exercise.

    Pretty terrible food today. Way too much junk all this weekend. Thank goodness for walking the pups and a major cleaning session to make the numbers bearable. Going on "lock down" mode as of Monday. :cry:

    Debbie I would enter my time into the mfp data base and use their calories. I'm sure you burned at least 79 cals to put you in the green (at least by Chevy)

    Thanks for the info! Don't know why I didn't think of that ..... :grumble:
    I'll be sure and do that next time my fitbit doesn't link up.
