Writing off last week. Vegas...
For today:
I will stay under my calorie goal and won't over indulge
I will express my wellness mantra when I finish MFP update
I will continue to work on patience in all aspects of my life
I will commit fully to my work.
I am expressing gratitude for the 14+ years we had with our puppy dog. No more true or pure love and her presence brought joy to every day. She is missed.
Good day yesterday
Under my calorie goal, didn't overindulge (OK, maybe a few extra Hershey kisses)
Expressed my wellness mantra and continue to make progress on patience.
Great, productive work day
Worked out for 95 minutes including a 3 mile walk at 16:25/mile pace

The following is a mini self-intervention...
So, for the past several days I have really struggled with my choices. I haven't gone tooooo far over my calorie limit, but I have been eating candy and bread. I felt sick all night last night because the sugar and white flour are just not ok for me. Today I am hungry because that's what sugar does to me.
I don't want to throw the Halloween treats away, but I will if I have to.
I need to add a few extra J4Ts
4. Stick to my pre logged plan
5. Ask God for help if I am considering eating candy.
6. Remember my motivation for sticking to my goals.
7. Throw the treats away before you eat even ONE PIECE!
....We now return to your regularly scheduled program.

Step away from the candy! Or maybe you can just get candy that you don't like?
(I have never figured out why we end up eating and drinking stuff that's going to just make us feel bad. You'd think that would make it easy to avoid. But nope! I'm that way with alcohol. It makes me feel bad but I still love it.)
Sending good thoughts your way!0 -
That's what I need - a siren and a flashing red light. Step away from the candy and put your hands up!
My kids told me today, "Your the only one who likes candy corn anyway". So I am going to throw it away when I get home.
I keep a candy box at my office for my customers. It is ONLY filled with stuff I don't like.
It really does seem like it shouldn't be so difficult.

@bri170lb Kudos for the refocus. It's all too easy to get lax around festivals, but I always pay for it, especially now that my body is used to clean, healthy eating.

I am expressing gratitude for the new snow up in the mountains. The drive into my office was beautiful yesterday.0 -
Oh my goodness. I didn't realize I had been off the grid for so many days! I need a good kick in the butt!
I did really good yesterday, best day in a very long time. I didn't eat any junk food. Passed on the big bowl of candy (chocolate) left on my desk by my "Secret Spook" at work and brought it home. Brought home a "big cookie" left over from work lunch without taking one single bite and gave it to my husband. Skipped on sweets and no ice cream before bed...ate a bowl of Quaker Instant Oatmeal - Weight Control instead. Went to the gym (YES...THE GYM) last night and walked on treadmill for 30 minutes using the Cardio setting. Hit over 9000 steps on my FitBit Flex. That was a lot for me. I was sweating and my legs felt like rubber, but I did it! Sorry for the novel, but these are huge achievements in my world so I just had to tell someone!
J4T (Wednesday):- Journal every single bite
- Stay away from refined sugars again today
- Do my best today teaching a new class and try to cut myself some slack if it doesn't go perfectly
- Take 30 minutes of "me" time tonight before bed
