    Today I stayed home with my kids. I did some meal prep and relaxed. My goal is to go to bed early tonight! My son is teething so we will see. I've been missing out on a lot of sleep so my energy levels have been really low. I drank way too much coffee today. Lol. :p

    Today I am back from a wonderful weekend of camping at a family reunion. Really pleased that I was able to be flexible with my food and managed not to go over limit even though there was SO much food and alcohol!

    Today...was the first day I stayed on track in awhile!! Yay! I worked all day and was tired and didn't want to cook. After work I managed to battle my urge to order pizza out and instead went to Panera and got a you-pick-2 autumn squash soup, and their new ancient grain and arugula salad, yum! Really thought about ordering a brownie but battled the urge. Hoping I can have another successful day tomorrow.

    (This is for yesterday) Today I got up early enough to run before it got too hot/humid. And I did grocery shopping for lunches for the week so I won't go out for lunch. I got so many steps on my Fitbit I got to have a little bit of a larger dinner :)

    Today I turned down diet soda and drank water instead (and got by on significantly less caffeine than I normally would). I also ate as much food as I needed at a restaurant and took the rest to go.

    As a means of measuring my progress (other than strictly by the scale) and providing inspiration, I buy a pair of pants 1 size smaller than I currently wear. I try them on every Monday. This is really helpful when the scale won't move - you can see the progress even though the numbers aren't there. This past weekend, I was able to wear my Size 12 jeans - for the first time in maybe 20 years. I felt like a super-model!! Woot! Woot! Now, I'm off to buy Size 10s.

    Today, I pushed myself to go to the trails despite my reluctance not to. I had a pretty decent and refreshing workout as a result.

    That's a really good idea!

    Today, I am making sure I don't drink any sodas. That is my nemesis & I plan to kick that habit soon. I got my Crystal Light packets & I'm ready for a no soda day!

    Today I walked 2.12 miles which beat my previous distance of 2.0 miles, also beating both the time and pace!

    Today I made an appointment to get my blood work done. Last time they tried to draw blood, I had a panic attack. Hopefully, this time goes better!

    Today I managed to do my workout plan and ate within plan - but realise the rest of this week is going to be tough to remain within planned net calories- Wednesday special lunch arranged in London, Thursday daughter's birthday and she has suggested she wants to go out for a meal and Saturday off for another meal with her and my son who is coming home for weekend to celebrate her birthday - mmmm - lots of exercising maybe and " must try harder" next week :(

    Today I am going to be working till midnight. Feeling stressed as I was away all weekend and haven't had a chance to bring any prepared food with me. More than 11 hours to go, and the cafeteria here is not very inspiring :(

    Today I had the day off. The weather was gorgeous so I took a brisk 40 minute walk at the park and then came home and cooked a healthy dinner...chicken with fennel and cherry tomatoes, and roasted broccolini.

    Today I walked over 15,000 steps. Which I the most I've walked since I got my fitbit. I will probably end the night between 16 and 17000!!

    Today I weighed heavy for the first time in many many moons, and today I just brushed it off. I did not sabotage myself and go eating everything in sight. Instead I took my measurements and am down 3 inches overall since 5 weeks ago. Not bad for a couch potato :) All is logged for challenge start weight.

    Today (yesterday) I had more energy at work than I have had in a long time. I kept blowing through my tasks in record time and impressing my supervisor with how much that was getting done. Don't know if the vitamin c cough drops were adding to my energy or not but at least I am finally getting over the cold my son gave me.

    Another today (yesterday) I decided to save my bus money and walked to the store to run some errands and walk back. It was about a 4 mile total trip and I burned quite a few calories. I also got some important things done and had a productive day.

    Today (and yesterday) have been extremely stressful at work and at home. I'm running on fumes from a poor night's sleep, however still went to the gym and am holding the line with my food. The "old me" might have bent under the pressure and gone straight for a poor food choice ... but I'm going to do my darndest not to let that happen. Articulating that I've chosen to make a "better" choice and reading your posts, definitely helps! Onward and upward!

    Today I saw a loss on the scale, have for the most part stuck to my diet- though I did have an oatmeal cookie I need to log, did kids yoga with my daughters, and did 30 minutes of zumba. Feeling good!

    Today marked one week of faithfully logging my food. And only two days of being over but just by a few calories.
