Good Morning Team let's get this day going in the right direction. If you eat something crazy it's ok shake it off and make the next choice a better one. If you didn't work out it's ok do some squats now or march in place . What ever the struggle may be it's ok life happens. We got this!!!

Good morning purple how is everyone today. I am do good on processed foods but it is hard not to eat some like my bread and cheese still not sure on how to figure out those macros suppose to eat 20 percent 79 grams but I ate 29 percent 90 grams is that 109 percent

if you are supposed to eat 79 grams and you eat 50 that is 50/79 so you divide then x100 and get .63 x 100 is 63% of that macro. if you needed 79 grams and you had 100 grams you diving 100/79x100 =126%
it is all to do with how much of a macro you are set to have, not with how much of a macro compared with all other macros.

hope that helps

By the way, two nsv's today. I had my blood drwan today, and I brought my A1c down from 6.5 in July to 5.9 today, which drops me out of diabetic to pre- diabetic, and I'm hoping to get it to 5.5 by Valentines Day. And per our daily challenge, I DID NOT stop at the wonderful bakery by my doctor"S office! That was a real challenge for me-- their orange sugar buns are the bomb!

Lossing weight sure makes a big difference in your health
