Met both of my targets, and actually smashed the second one to the point where MFP told me I wasn't eating enough! (That's never happened before when I've not forgotten to log something)
Didn't actually feel hungry though despite the deficit, which is encouraging. I won't have that deficit on any other days this week:
Today going to my friend's for dinner which will make it difficult to stay within calorie limit - the food is generally not healthy and lots of wine is normally involved.
However, will set the following targets to keep the indulgence down:
- I'll log the dinner, even if I am not exactly sure what's in it
- I'll make sure I don't eat more main course than others - no second!
- If dessert is one where we choose portion size, I'll have a small portion
- I'll drink as much diet lemonade as I do wine to keep my appetite under control - and will limit wine to half a bottle MAX

For a long time. Without saying anything. It was a good day.

Hmm, so I managed two of these, I'd say - two of these, though probably wasn't really down to my efforts as opposed to my friends giving me a plate with a small portion size!
Failed on the other two though - had an entire bottle of wine + double g&t, and failed to log any of the calories. It had been a very bad day so i don't feel too bad about it, however I have to make sure this doesn't happen too often - bad days will happen and I need to learn to deal with them without turning to alcohol/food.
Today's commitment is very simple: come in within calorie goal!

@Lagopus Have you got the lookouts on the cliffs for tomorrow! I loved the 360 panorama!
No, Terri. I can see pretty far out to sea from my kitchen window and it's a small town. When I spot the ship approaching I have plenty of time to walk down to the dock.

I love this thread!
Only back here on MFP again today, with a new account, and these are the type of threads I need.
Today, I'll get myself familiar again with logging every bite on MFP!3 -
@Derpy_Hooves I purchased a digital food scale from Amazon. When I log, I weigh my food. Then I enter it into the food search feature on MFP like this: "Raspberries raw usda" - that way I get the info in grams which is more accurate than measuring a half a cup of raspberries which isn't as accurate. I usually log every bite, even a sip of milkshake or bite of cookie or lick of almond butter. It makes me think twice about bites, licks, and tastes...cuz I don't want to log them...good luck, and welcome!
b]JFT Wed 8 June 2016[/b]
