Thanks for the support-I know what I did "wrong". I swim before work and I usually bring healthy snacks to work and did not...ended up getting off work tired and hungry which is never a good combinationAwww, Cheryl! Go take a peek at my diary. I space my meals out and include little treats in there to keep from binging. My zero cal herbal teas are fruit flavored so I can enjoy a little sweetness with no added sugars. And I MUST have my chocolate biscotti every night even if I have to do a quick workout.
If you look right now, my cals are red. After my workout it will be green. I most certainly plan to have that curry chicken I logged but haven't eaten yet. I have to put the work in to "earn" it. See how that works?
On top of all that, drinking my 64oz of water keeps me feeling full. Lastly, I go to bed by 10pm. This way I get my eight hours of sleep, I can get up early enough for an AM workout, and I avoid late night snacking which I tend to do.
Tomorrow is a new day!
But today is much better and even though I am putting in a 12 hour shift I am well-prepared to have a successful day!
Thanks again for the support and the suggestions.

Thanks to all of you for the support! In the past I would have gone into a complete freefall...the support definitely helps.

Good evening! I missed my check-in yesterday, because I was out & about watching the CAVS game! Woohoo! Although I had a few cocktails, I stayed within my calories because I didn't eat much earlier in the day. Today, I had a good workout; I did 4.5 miles of intervals (run/walk 3:1). I have stayed on track for most of the day. Now, I just have to make sure I don't overeat this evening. I am trying to stay extra hydrated since my half marathon is on Sunday. I weighed in at 168.4 this morning. So the bloat is slowly going down. I am looking forward to the race being over so that I can commit to my strength workouts. Have a great day all!0

Day 4, May 15
Goal #1- I ate under 1400 calories
Goal # 2- Work out- did 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Goal #3- Drink only water, no soda- yes, drank only water
I had to force myself to work out. I didn't end up doing it until 8:30 pm but I did it! And I'm glad I did! I need to get on the weight lifting but something is better than nothing. Hopefully I will hit the weights tomorrow.

Day 5 May 16
Goal #1- I ate under 1400 calories- 1396 actually ( I ate fried chicken and 2 cookies and factored them into my calories, not the greatest but under calories is a plus!)
Goal #2- I drank only water and dandelion tea (which I count as water cuz no sugar, no milk, no calories)
Goal #3- No workout today. I just didn't feel like it. *sigh* I really need to do better on the workout front.
Good luck on your half marathon @OliviaMG1 !!

Ya'll, I'm so stinking tired! lol I fell asleep after my Friday night didn't go as planned, so I'm posting for two days now.
Day 4: 300 steps short, only half my water intake (32oz), GREEN calorie count, no workout logged BUMMER!!!
Day 5: 10,000+ steps!, one workout, 64oz water, GREEN calorie count
My activity tracker decided not to sync today so if my diary looks weird tomorrow that's why. I had to err on the side of caution b/c I know my numbers are not accurate as it shows. Anyhoo, my weekend has been rather interesting and I have an early day tomorrow. Night ya'll!!!0 -
Day 6, May 16:
1. Green in calories
2. Workout complete ( 30 mins on treadmill)
3. Only drank water
Good day for me. Glad I got the workout in- I always feel better when I do.
How was the half marathon @OliviaMG1 ?0 -
I don't know what day it is check in
My tracker counted 3,000 steps. I accidentally left it charging in the car when I went to church.
Water done, mercy green in cals. No workout
Long wknd. I'm ready to go back to work lol0 -
Hello All, Hope you all have a nice weekend. I went to a family party and danced a lot so got a lot of the workout done :-) It is hard for me to log in on the weekend. The phone app does not work well on my phone.0

I felt like going dancing after I fininshed doing zumba lol
I can't comment using the app either, so I normally open MFP in my browser if I'm on the go. No biggie though. Just log when you can0 -
Good evening! Yesterday was my half marathon; it was definitely not my best, but I stuck to my plan & finished with minimal pain. Today, however, I am sore as all get-out! Oh my! The humidity was outrageous yesterday & my muscles siezed up on me. I did a lot more walking than I wanted to. I had a great massage this evening & am going to focus on nutrition this week while my muscles recover. I am also committing to getting started on a strength training regimen. No excuses!0

Congrats @OliviaMG1 !
Day 7- May 18 Check in
Way over my calories today. I ate at maintenance... so not green
Only water and coconut water
No workout. 0 -
Slow and steady @OliviaMG1 Great job!
Day 7 Check-in:
Green
64oz water
6,000 steps and one workout
@borntowin4me I just realized I'm not losing b/c I should be eating at a deficit. I should either eat 800 calories or burn 1600 calories to create a deficit. BOO! To add insult to injury my tracker is on the fritz. I can tell I've lost a few inches or some water weight so that will have to do for now. I plan to quit coffee tomorrow. Again. It's more cream than coffee, so pretty much wasted calories I could be using for biscotti
Night all!0 -
Hello All, not sure if there is a new post for today so I'm just adding to this one. I did go over my caleries yesterday and had a bloody mary..... Today is a new day... Hope you all have a great day :-)0

Well I forgot to weigh myself today, but I got up and made it to the pool before work and swam 3/4 of a mile rather than my usual 1/2 mile, so I feel like that was a success 0

Great job guys!0
