Just keep tracking.
Gave in & hopped on scale 2 days too early-need to control my desire to weigh daily as it leaves me disheartened.
Plans fell through to go to the gym, therefore plan B...
Plan B - Will walk this evening & some push-ups, crunches, etc at home.
Need to increase my water today- feeling dehydrated.
Prepare for Sunday!
Prep to cook 2 large meals so we can deliver to our family who needs some TLC.
Been looking forward to the day I can fit into smaller sizes of clothing & this morning my watch is one notch down on my wrist LOL
Challenging day. Noticed that some of us post our goals the night before & I'm going to try it out for a week to see if it helps w/motivation.

Yesterday, 10/10
1. Low carb
I am not hungry, which is a really good thing, but I am craving carbs like crazy. Getting my water in though! But my hubby and I did split a bag of microwave popcorn last nite. Calorie wise that was OK, but not carb wise!
2. Record everything I eat
3. NO sugar
Sunday, 10/01
1. Drink lots of water.
2. limit my soda to just 1. My doctor told me that diet soda actually will make me crave sweets. I am trying to limit what I drink, but I do notice that if I have one in the evening, even though it is caffeine free, that I start to crave something sweet. So just 1 diet pepsi this morning to get me going. I am not a coffee drinker.
3. NO SUGAR --- been really doing good with this, so here's to another day of sugar free0 -

Made it through the long weekend relatively unscathed, I guess. Logged as well as I could being out of town. Meetings, dinners, wine tours. Got in a ton of exercise, though, so that helped. Saturday was the family over for a BBQ. Then Sunday took some friends who helped us move out to eat. Ate close to maintenance Sat-Sun. Glad it's over and I can get back to my schedule. I'm not a very social person so four days in a row of that kind of stuff is just exhausting.

I'm not sure which part of this post is my favorite: the fact that your daughter baked your mom a german chocolate birthday cake from scratch, OR the fact that you don't feel guilty for having a slice GOOD for you both! 0 -

JFT (Sunday)
I will Pretrack healthy choices.
I post the night before most of the time because if I don't I usually don't have time til late in the day.
One word of caution, it's easy to just forget that you had goals. I check in when I log my food to re read my goals a couple times a day.

Good start to the day, fell apart a bit in the evening. Falling on the wrong side of the "be kind to myself" and "hold myself accountable" line.
Over my calorie goal by 50%, Halloween candy.

- alter dress for friends wedding this Saturday. I only have one option and it looks like a sack on me and I don't have the time or spare cash for a new one. It should be easy enough, I'll mostly be running a line inside of the existing seams and possibly adding one line down the back0 -
JFT, I will stay within calorie limits. Not feel sorry for myself.0
