    Wednesday Wisdom:

    Enjoy yourself today.... do something just for you. Take a nature walk in a park....Enjoy a soak in the tub... light some candles. Take time to decompress and unwind... then tell us about it. <3 Jill

    Thanks @jm216 and @Jeyradan :blush:

    It was nice not to think about it for one meal. And yesterday I had no trouble getting back on track - yay!

    Hoping to get out for a walk tonight :)

    Thank you!

    I just watched my kids run in their cross country races.... and I'm so proud of them. My son shaved 30 seconds off of his PR. (Personal Record). My daughter shaved off 2 minutes!

    I'm on the wagon guys. Working hard with trainer and improved my eating. Writing everything down. Only 2 weeks and lost .7kg. Felt like crying when my weight went up overnight though. It's such a mental game.

    No falling off the wagon. Trainer reminded me he helped me once when I came to him at exactly the same weight. Really annoyed with myself that I fell off an have to repeat history but I will just buckle and get on board. Off for a run.

    Keep inspiring.

    Hope everyone had a great weekend! It sounds like we're all working hard on our goals, so I bet it's going to be a great week for us all.

    I'm trying something new this week, eating back all of my exercise calories (a terrifying prospect, since we all know MyFitnessPal tends to wildly overestimate them) while increasing my total amount of exercise. I've been finding myself irritable and slightly "off," and I've been worried that undereating is contributing - so the doctor suggested increasing my eating, but also upping my exercise to try to counteract it.

    Goals for this week:
    - Come in under my calorie goal every day (but as close to it as possible).
    - Do a lunchtime couch-to-5K run every weekday (I hate running, so this is the tough one).
    - At least half an hour of other exercise every day (which I already do, so it's much easier).
    - Keep a close eye on my physical feelings and my mood to see how things are working!

    That's a good plan. Instead of giving in you are ramping up. Thanks. That's inspiring.

    I just found this thread. I fell off the wagon for over 8 months and gained back the 20 I lost and added an addition 12. I got back on it 41 days ago! (yay me!) However, the last three days have been a struggle, I've been over calories (2490 in the last three days :( ) Last time this happend was 8 months ago, when I slowly gave up. I don't want this to happen like it did last time. Any suggestions on how to keep sticking with it? Thanks!

    Welcome Arrowhead!

    My advice, stick with us. Here is your spot in the world to talk about it...with no judgement. We're here to listen... and we're going through the same thing. Keep logging, and work through it with us.
    Each day is a fresh start...a new day to start over and try again. Welcome to the wagon!

    <3 Jill

    Bit nervous about tomorrow's weigh-in. I've stuck completely to my goals this week - done all my workouts, attended every aikido class, gone running every lunch hour, eaten back all my exercise calories but stayed under my limit - but I feel like I've slid back. I'm sure it's all in my head, but it certainly seems like I've got body fat I didn't have a week ago...

    Guess I'll find out tomorrow. I just don't want to end up with a setback as a result of trying to be healthier instead of just more restrictive, and it's making me antsy.

    Hey Jey,

    You've been doing all the right things, and hopefully you feel better, too. You've got this!
