    No exercise, and I ate over my calories. It was a good day though.

    Ha, in my excitement last night I forgot to put 5/21...

    Thanks for this group, it really has given me fresh accountability. :blush: Today is day 170 of my streak and I have 20lb till my main goal, so thus is helping!

    Congrats all on the success :smiley:

    6.4 and 5

    Green: No (long work day and I had too much bread in the evening).
    Green: No - had a treat that didn't balance out for the day.
    3/25

    Still Green for the month! (2031 to the good)

    6/4 RED. 3/24

    Things went so poorly yesterday. Birthday luncheon at work at a restaurant with no calorie content available? (I didn't even know that was legal). I had a hot dinner roll and a couple peanuts as I waited for my order (chicken sandwich with a side of steamed broccoli) but it came out fried! :tired_face: I ate half rather than make a fuss in front of my coworkers. After work, I got stuck at the car dealership, then I left my gym clothes at the dealership (sneakers included). I went back, but they were closed. :disappointed: Starving, I went home and had dinner anyways. That half sandwich was long gone. Ugh, RED. Today will be better.

    That sounds like a really rough day! Just now read this. Hope yesterday was better!
    How do we just tag people in blue? I can imagine that quoting every time would make this thread super long and harder to navigate.

    For my 6.5... It was green, but I wanted it to be greener. I ate angelically all day and did an hour of intense cardio because I wanted to bank extra calories for our housewarming party today. But then I was making cookies for the party and I just. Couldn't. Help myself. Didn't binge or anything, but it felt like a waste. Those calories were supposed to be to enjoy with friends today! Anyway, will try not to go out of control, but I'm thinking today will likely be red, especially since we've got so much prep left and likely no gym time. Goal is to log anyway and get right back on track tomorrow. That's why the goal is 26 this month for me, not 30.

    To summarize, 5/26 green. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Had a great 3 month "how am I doing l" moment. I was feeling down bc I haven't lost that much... 8.5 lbs but I retook my pics and measurements and I've lost 36.5 in inches! Yippee!! This group is keeping me on track too. Feeling motivated.

    To tag someone (or comment on their day) just put the @ sign by their username...
    so @2marsh I hope that answers your question! And @las07 I hope you had some better days following that rough one (one that I am sure many of us can relate to...life likes to throw curve balls)
    @bbinoa - glad you had a victory moment...did you really lose 36 inches of yourself?
    @jenthibert --there are days like that. Sounds like you kept your focus - even if the numbers didn't balance.

    Long walk saved me from myself.

    I am unofficially shooting for 30/30, but I will leave myself a one day "slip" day ... so 29/30. I know it seems a little tough and I have to be careful not to set goals so high that I could get discouraged if I don't hit them, but I figure I'm going to use this month as a testing ground to see whether my idea of how to approach this is sustainable or needs tweaking. Although I have never smoked or had an alcohol problem, I understand from friends that have that the trick is not so much getting through a month of this, but making localized choices that get me day to day and realizing that I have a whole day to make balanced decisions that get me to that daily goal. So far I'm 6/6 for the month and doing well for today so far.

    Green-yes.
    7/22
    Went to an amusement park w the family so it was 8 hours of walking. Had a soft serve ice cream and usually I love me some ice cream but ugh..... no. Good to have those moments when you realize certain things aren't as good as you thought they were.

    horrible start thus far... busy weekend and no time to plan for healthy eating, just eat when you can and what is offered. tomorrow is a new week, so let's get this party started 0/20 :(

    @billamysmith--hang in there! You can turn it around!
    @2marsh-- glad you are enjoying yourself. and @jenthibert--glad you got back on track!! Sometimes I think that is the hardest part!

    6.7

    Green: No.
    Total: 4/25

    Had an ice cream treat and it wasn't worth the calories. I am really working on limiting my ice cream to more "simple" treats, both to cut sugar and to treat myself without going crazy with calories.

    @R_Queenie its bread that gets my DH every time - particularly artisan bread - it switches on his gluttony.

    @billamysmith - as you say, a new day and a new week - and you're just the person to make this work.

    @foxbat2828 - you're of to a crackin' start for June, well done -

    @bbinoa - congrats on those inches!! and all those steps at the amusement park. Aren't NSV's (non scale victories) the business and sooooo the best.

    @2marsh - red days can be good, can be planned and best of all a celebration of out friends and families. They only become a problem when they're a daily occurrence, as we all know too well.

    @bbinoa fantastic! Very motivating for those moments when the scale doesn't move as much.

    7th June = green = 7/21.

    Feeling very pleased as we ate out/take out a few times with family visiting but still managed to keep it green with some wriggle room (just in case!).
