    1.Carbs under 20: pumpkin for me!

    2.Slept in, another lazy day, facebooking, TV Halloween movie, food is good. Have a couple projects if I feel like motivating...and I might. Mood feels like it shifted back to weekday safety mode and that is always a relief.
    No big plans for this week yet, Wed and Fri dance nights. Days are looking like homebound projects to conserve cashola.
    It looks and feels like moody autumn outside...a little bittersweet, leaf colors changing a bit, some falling.
    Not noticing any of the emotions that trigger my binges in action today, so I'm hoping for a nice slide into keto land for this week. Another pumpkin for me.

    3.Weigh in on Wednesday.

    4.Minimal activity today. Somehow that feels okay. No pumkin, though.

    1. Practice mindfulness around food and eat slowly. YES
    2. Journal nightly to the questions: "Did I eat and move in a way that supported my health?" "What could I do better tomorrow?" YES
    3. Keep carbs <50 gm. by logging. YES
    4. Move 30 min. daily, minimum. YES
    5. Stay off the scale. YES
    6. Check in with this thread daily! YES
    7. Drink tea first before deciding to eat after 8pm.

    I got all my pumpkins two days in a row! 14/14

    Just a note: I was making myself crazy with a 1660 calorie limit for the day. It set off deprivation feelings. Yesterday, I bumped up my calories to 1800 and came in lower than 1660, but having had the mental room to notice how deeply satisfying my meals were. Yay!

    1 within weekend carbs: close enough...no binge foods. Big victory there.

    2. Feelings checked : yes
    3. Coping strategies: painting, house chores, TV movies, social media. Kept it low key; always feel better on Sundays.

    4. Minimal activity. Couch potato, mostly.

    Still, overall a solid day of steady living.

    October 3, day 3 of exercise
    60 minute walk, 3.4 miles
    20 minutes of stretching
    20 minutes of fearlessly doing these damn painful exercises for a torn rotator cuff/subluxated bicep that hurt like hello all waking hours. Whine, whine, whine.
