    Im actually pretty proud of myself. I quit drinking. i work out 5-7 times a week at least 1hr each time and have kept to my eating regime.

    Im concerned though that the estimates for exercise /calories burned are too high. And therefore maybe im eating more than i should. I try to keep that in mind. Anyone else get that feeling?

    I did some more strength training today. Hopefully, I'm building muscles and endurance, which I definitely need.

    @Maquillage_ No pizza? I wouldn't make it. I love pizza too. I only enjoy it about once a month, but when I do, yum, yum, yum. Hang in there.
    @babyblues0184 Congrats on being 8 lbs. down! Keep pushing!
    @R_Queenie That hummus will get you every time. I'm glad I don't like it. :smile:
    @launasoul You're doing great! Both of us have 13 green days so far. I'm aiming for 26 Green days for the month, which I know I'll make. I always meet my green goals for the month.

    Didn't log for the weekend, but guessing both days were red. Getting back on the horse. Now impossible to meet my goal of 26 green days, but I can make 25 if I keep it green the rest of the month. That's my goal!

    Getting in the groove... I like having my goals day by day. Feels so much more doable like this. Daily victories I can handle. I've noticed I'm losing about a half pound a week. Not bad, I'll take it. Slow and steady, right?

    Green: Yes, but barely!
    Total: 11/25

    @Laughter_Girl---okay, so to be more accurate ----my lunch was so large that it left me very little / nothing for dinner. So my over calories were veggies and hummus because I could eat a ton of that stuff and it be nutritious. And you are an awesome model for hitting your monthly goal!!
    @2marsh--Nice adjustment to your goal - keep your focus and you will make it!
    @bbinoa--yes, slow and steady! That is the way to go!
    @MelissaPhillips --glad to have you at any point!
    @launasoul -if you are using the MFP estimates, then yes, they are likely too high. I have heard several comments that it is best to eat only half of what they give you because they can be VERY generous.

    Green: Yes (Chevy style. I went over my daily allotment by 12 calories.)
    Total 14/26

    I probably burned more calories than I estimated, but my HRM is in need of a new battery and I decided to go easy with that estimation. It was a nice light cardio workout though w/Jessica Smith TV. I love her videos.

    @R_Queenie thanks for such great support, for me and everyone!
    @bbinoa Yes, the daily goals feel like a healthy and doable way to approach it!

    Today was SUPER green. Felt great. Little concerned because I thought I was in the clear from all the restaurant meals with my mom's visit, but she wants to get in one more greasy spoon breakfast before we go. I have such a hard time starting the day with a challenge, but I'll do my best and report back tomorrow!
