Might as well report in.
My weekly goals are:
(1) No unplanned snacking
(2) Hit all my planned workouts
(3) Log every day and stay within calories
(4) Get 6 hours of sleep/night
Did a little unplanned snacking, but I am making progress and part of this is I'm not budgeting enough calories given how much I've been working out, so I will continue to work on this and focus on figuring out my real TDEE. Did hit my workouts. Logged and within calories (adding back some exercise calories for exercise beyond that included in the TDEE plan). Sleep was a fail.
Under the theory that I should learn from this, the reasons were: bed too late, too soon after eating and too soon after a hard workout (this was somewhat unavoidable given my schedule, but I think reading a bit or meditating or something might have helped transition better). Also, I was a bit sore, especially since I slipped on the ice after my workout in the evening and strained my left hamstring a bit. I'm also probably drinking too much coffee, so may cut back if the sleep issues don't improve.
Today's challenge: I may take my rest day today instead of Friday, and I'm going out to dinner tonight. I will not use the fact I can't log perfectly as an excuse to just blow off logging for the day or to make it an "I'll get back to it tomorrow" day!

1. Log daily
2. Sleep 7-8 hours each night
3. Avoid highly processed foods
4. Be active
5. Prepare most of our meals at home
Okay, yesterday I nailed #1 and 3. Last night, I was a little shy of 7 hours sleep, but I did sleep well the 2 nights previous so 6 hours is probably okay today. I forgot to exercise and since I worked late, I ordered Papa John's for my sons and the hubby and I went to our favorite Italian restaurant that's close to our house where I got my usual Pear/Walnut side salad with blue cheese crumbles and a glass of water with lemon. They even make their own house dressing so I figure that's sort of like home cooking?
Today, the game plan is to remember to exercise.
