The problem is (or at least for me, and I think for some of you too) when I make that one poor choice, I give up and keep eating even more poor choices. I need to let myself enjoy my treat (planned or not) then climb right back up on the wagon and make better choices right away. This is the only way I can make any of this work for the rest of my life. One day at a time, one choice at a time, one tiny step at a time.
^^^ This! So true!0 -
Great thread - glad to be joining!
Take first boot camp class in months - this is going to hurt...

Walk for 30 mins if he does.0 -

I will make a meal plan and stick to it. No wine. I have a meeting at church tonight to drive to so doubly important no wine. Thanks everyone!0

Yesterday was good, but still struggling to get the protein all in.
1.) Work on the protein, I have almond milk and veg. protein ready for when hunger strikes.
2.) Make a wise choice at lunch today. Going out with a customer.
3.) Find strength to keep from totally not eating everything bad today.
4.) Be patient, I know the weight will come off. Have hit a plateau. grrrr0 -
Well, it worked yesterday! Do this one day at a time!
1) Log everything
2) drink 6-8 glasses of water
3) Do the best I can -- enjoy but limit calories at vendor dinner tonight.0 -
Log everything!!0

Had a subpar eating day yesterday. Had McDonald's for breakfast, pizza, candy...sigh.
Went for a run and had a light dinner so the calorie ramifications weren't horrible when I finally logged everything this morning, but I felt a lot of guilt about the crazy path I go down when I start eating simple carbs and junky stuff. I start craving more and more. The breakfast I get at McDonald's is similar in calories to the strawberries and oatmeal I'm having today, but the former leaves me hungry and craving more junk food. Something to think about. But not beat myself up over.
As for today:
Go for a walk at lunch
Get a run in this evening - take my time and don't push anything too hard
Eat the good food that is here at work and waiting for me at home instead of seeking out junk food!!!!
Be kind to myself, and remember to take things day by day...

The breakfast I get at McDonald's is similar in calories to the strawberries and oatmeal I'm having today, but the former leaves me hungry and craving more junk food.
This has been the biggest thing I have learned on my journey. Some foods make me really hungry! I have paid close attention to this and when I am tempted to eat these foods I remember that it will be the start of a downward cycle. Being actively aware of this as I make choices is the reason that I have been consistent and successful in my weight lose.0 -
Today I will avoid soda, I will eat the food I brought for lunch and I will have a healthy dinner tonight.0
-
Just for today, I will get in a great workout and drink at least 8 cups of water.0

I really want to be the supportive buddy on this thread, but some days it's hard just finding my previous post and getting the new goals posted. I will do better at fitting in time to actually read all the comments and be supportive. 0 -

I was able to make my goals yesterday!!! Woo-hoo!! Keep it up!
We do our weigh in tomorrow, so I guess I will see what the results from the eating over the weekend did. But I think it will be ok.

Met yesterday's goals however my plans for today changed at the last minute and have to go in to work today for just a couple hours. This completely threw me off my food plan for today and for some reason I wasn't motivated at all to plan my meals for the next couple days yesterday. I hope I find some motivation today.
1. Log everything I eat
2. Stay within my calorie goal
3. Make a food plan for the next couple of days and go shopping
4. Drink at least 2 Litres of water
5. At least 30 minutes on the bike0
