Sorry about all the replies. Just trying to figure out pumpkins and check marks! LOL0 -
Ok, my goals are all about better planning. I've been meal prepping for months, but my planning has been shoddy, and I ended up running out to buy food a few times a week regardless. So...
1. I will meal plan and do my grocery shopping and major cooking once a week on weekends when I don't work.
2. I will run out for missing ingredients/extra food no more then twice a week on the weeks when I don't work weekends.
3. I will stick to my plan, and minimize my food waste
4. I will eat out twice a week where I have budgeted for it.
5. On the weekends when I work (1 weekend a month) I will do my best to stick to the WOE when I am forced to eat out, and refrain from any treats pushed on me by coworkers/bosses/higher-ups or random nice folks.
1. Not a work-free weekend, doesn't apply.
2. Didn't go anywhere near the Publix. Check.
3. Used previously frozen food in the fridge to make dinner yesterday and lunch today. Check.
4. Did't eat out yesterday. Check.
5. It's a work weekend! I have a pack of cream cheese in my purse to nibble on in case of emergencies.
This week's update:
1. N/A until Saturday, so planning in progress
2. Check
3. Check (so far)
4. Starbucks this morning, which was unplanned, but I am not going to eat out Friday, so I may still salvage it.
5. Doesn't apply - a non-work weekend.
I will give myself one demerit for morning Starbucks run (had some cheese and almonds, so didn't 'cheat' on diet), but so far, I'm doing much better than usual.0 -

Wednesday: Another great day! 4 pumpkins!
Total so far: 20 out of a possible 28 pumpkins per week.
What I learned from this week? I need to be more diligent on weekends, especially with tracking and getting in enough steps. I've noticed I'm getting a little loosey goosey with tracking every little carb I eat. I need to go back to the basics and track track track. I personally think it's easier to track carbs on the Atkins app than MFP since it doesn't calculate net carbs. I may go back there next week.0 -
