    Stars, make a plan for half portions. Eat a little protein before you go there. YOU CAN DO THIS!

    Woooooooooo... apparently my "day" is three days long for checking in! I've been having some muscle pulls in my back, so not as much vigorous exercise as I would have liked. It's been easing up; I went for a long walk today with a lunch break in the middle. Pedometer app on the iPod says it was 12.6 miles.

    Excellent, bhagarmckee! I hope your back pull is better soon.
    Hi there, cincisk8r!
    Good day here. We picked up the yard after a horrific storm blew through. We caught a bit of a small tornado...it sucked everything out of the barn and patio in seconds! When "they" say tornados sound like a train, "they" are correct! We could be found in the pantry with four dogs...a VERY SMALL pantry (with no chocolate to be found...who's been shopping at our house?)!!!

    Have a happy Sunday!

    TORNADO!?!?!?!?!?!?! yikes. I second the "I'm glad you're okay sappho123" motion... and love your sense of humor. Personally, in that situation, I would be more concerned about the location of clean underwear...

    'Nother long walk for me today. Destination: the sporting goods store near the mall to replace my worn out walking shoes. Stopped for lunch, and then closer to home stopped for a donut as my one naughty food for this week. About 11 and a half miles round trip.

    That's a terrific walk, bhagarmckee! Congrats on the new shoes...wha..? doughnut? did I hear doughnut? ME ME memememe! Oh, sorry, right, I'm under control now....
    cincisk8, I agree, the chocolate situation in this house needs to be amended!!! It is absolutely dismal!

    @starsonlyone I hope your dinner went well.

    @sappho123 that tornado sounds terrifying, small or not. I'm glad you're all right and second the underwear comment.

    @bhagarmckee congratulations on the long walk.

    I've had a stressful few days, but I've tried not to let myself go too much, which seems to have paid off because when I weighed myself yesterday I was the lightest I've been since I moved to Spokane (still heavier than when I started using mfp way back when, though...).

    Today I kind of let myself eat whatever I want, but I don't feel too bad about it because I had to work in the field today and spent all day hauling equipment around, which I know my vivosmart can't track accurately.

    Oh yeah, schneizilla, I have a Garmin connect account, but I don't really use it other than to sync with mfp (when they are playing nicely)

    Hey everybody! Getting ready to hit the gym here soon! Got lots of sleep which is always great when u work midnights. Cardio is the plan and weight soon after. I hate doing cardio everyday but I swear the one day I don't, the next it feels like Im starting all over. And I gain weight almost instantly.

    Yeah!! I finally lost some weight. Lost 2 lbs this week. Have been trying to make swaps and little changes and it's finally paying off.

    Yea, PoohBelly!!!!!!! smurfette, have a super workout! nuttyengineer, how have you been? Congratulations on the weight loss. Hi there, the rest of you!

    OK, I usually don't mention my journey on MFP, but here goes (not looking for solutions, but welcome any that come my way). My weight has been stuck for 5 weeks. I seem to be doing the right things, down to the micros, but to no avail. My next idea is to increase days of exercise, rather than length of time. I don't know if I am legitimately stuck or if I am missing something obvious. My goal is 0.5lb to 1lb weekly.

    Well, enough of that! Have a terrific day, folks!

    @Poohbelly, congratulations!

    @Sappho123, someone recently recommended to me to add some different types of workouts to change things up in order to get out of a plateau. Just a suggestion.

    I did not log my food yesterday because I PIGGED OUT. No other way to say it. I won't say "binge," but it was just a day that I decided to eat whatever I wanted. I didn't log my food but I'm thinking maybe I will (if I can remember everything I ate). My day included movie theater popcorn, Magnum ice cream bars (plural), fried tacos and cheese fries.

    Hou! La! La! 5000 calories. Well, I actually thought it would be more. Today I'm back on track, so I'm not as full of remorse as I might have been once upon a time.

    Day 87. Down 32 pounds. My average is about 2.25 pounds a week. I could not be more pleased. One way I sneak in exercise is to walk every day at 4pm to,the campus Starbucks from my office (about 20mins). I have a regular coffee and I really enjoy getting out of the office. Can't believe how well this little app is working and how invested I feel seeing that daily streak. I look forward to ch caking in here!

    I'm doing all right. I've had a little bit of a chance to recover from the stress I've been under and am actually going to make it to the gym tomorrow for the second time in a week, which I haven't been able to do the last couple weeks. Hopefully that'll be a good thing because I found myself really dragging behind everyone else in yesterday's class.
