    I have accepted that I'm having an off day.

    Stressed at work and feeling tired, I've found it hard to focus on what I'm eating. I've gone 200 calories over (1400). But that's still 400 calories under.....

    Tomorrow will be a new day.

    Cranked up my music and went for a walk on my 15 minute break even though I tried talking myself out of it several times because I had no one to walk with at work today.

    Made a delicious healthy dinner but ate about 3 servings it was so good. I had a little easter candy but was controlled about it. I did two hours of hard yard work but I was still a little over on calories.
    This is silly but I messed around with my garnish tools ard cut up some really cool looking vegetables that somehow were more fun to eat

    Trouble sleeping and just wanted to stay in bed but got myself up, did my kettle bells, made my breakfast and packed lunch and snack.

    This morning I reviewed my previous posts looking to see if I recorded a specific milestone. While I didn't find it, I did find encouragement! Looking through the posts I saw, "burned," "completed," "lost," "has logged in for...," along with my own personal notes of struggles and strengths. Try it, look at your previous posts, it sure felt good. Today's milestone, comfortably wearing my same belt at 4 notches. I remember how excited I was when I hit the third notch.

    It's the first day I've really not felt like keeping on keeping on but I log anyway. I think it's lack of sleep and stress. I will try to make good with a longish walk. Keeping on regardless.

    I just want to say I'm really happy I started this thread. I've had an off couple of days and it's so tempting to say "screw it, I'm not logging, forget about all of this." But I remember the little steps, and that it's okay to make mistakes or bad choices once in a while. You guys are all an inspiration <3

    Not going to an optional catered (read 'catered with high calorie sweets to the ceiling') meeting at work.

    Today I ran 1.4 miles, the most I have ever run. I'm so happy with my progress... two months ago I couldn't even run a tenth of a mile.

    I was so tired and hungry after work and missed the bus so it took me an hour and a half to get home from work. I stopped at mcdonalds. But the good thing I did was not eat the fries. Best I could do today

    I got nothin. I made no efforts today, besides the usual logging and whatnot. How about this? I will pencil in a run on my schedule for tomorrow. Scheduling a future activity counts as a small something, right?

    Best mile since I restarted my exercise March 1st. :) It takes a bit to get back what I lost but I am almost back to my old time.

    This is still better than not logging at all

    Today i had to stop at hardware store on the way home from work. I got what i needed plus a big box of milkduds. I threw the box out after i had eaten 2/3 of it. If i had not done this i would have been under calorie goal.

    Does anyone find it hard to stay under goal if you eat cereal for breakfast?

    I did two things! I need to go grocery shopping- was out of eggs this morning and in a rush to get going so I stopped for a biscuit (drive-thru, haven't been in at least 6 weeks, have been good so I figured why not treat myself?) and I skipped out on a potato hash brown which old me got religiously. I also skipped my large Diet Coke because A) I'm trying to save up the $$ and B) I'm trying to cut down on caffine.

    #2, I mentioned above that I need to go grocery shopping, long story short I went before I was able to make dinner and since we all know grocery shopping hungry is a big no-no, I made myself a healthy filling snack! A serving of almonds and cubed cheese to hold me over and keep me level headed until dinner!

    It's all about those small healthier choices!

    I adjusted my intake to fit in a red velvet cupcake (that was ridiculously delicious) stayed under calorie goal and didn't let myself feel too guilty about it because every once and a while you need a lovely cupcake

    I had two big meals instead of snacking and drank tea at night to round out the day

    I find cereal to be a useless breakfast. An hour later I'm inevitably ravenous. I seem to need some fat and protein in my breakfast to keep me going.

    My small victory today was that I opened the cabinets and fridge a bunch of times and chose every time to walk away. I tend to eat when I feel emotionally uncomfortable, and I just kept saying (under my breath) "You're okay. You're not hungry. You just feel bad. Its okay to feel bad." I continued to feel bad (just that kind of day), but I felt good about the not snacking!

    I went to the movies, no popcorn, no munchies and no drink! Hard to miss the popcorn because of the smell!

    Having a good Good Friday. Staying meat free (except fish) today which actually gives me lots more food.

    .8 lbs away from the sunny side of 160. Turned my 75 minutes walk into an 85 minute walk. Now I am drinking champagne - lol.

    I had a bad Friday. It is really hard to get in exercise of any kind on my work days. I should have stopped working and taken lunch break. I guess the good thing I did was learn that lesson.
