Tuesday Goals - I'm heading to the Finger Lakes in NY to go camping for the long weekend coming. I want to really plan out my food in advance for the weekend so I don't end up eating bacon and eggs , hot dogs for lunch, and BBQ and potatoes for dinner every day. I can't take anything fresh across the border so I'm going to try and plan out in advance which grocery store we will stop at and have a grocery list ready.5

Yup, Central TX (Bastrop) but work in Austin. You? Never even knew they had a green chili stew, sounds awesome! Oh yes, and I bought a bottle of the sauce today!
League City. I Have a small stash of the carry out ones. If i need a bbq fix I go with the turkey, usually. Sometimes brisket high sodium but I'm usually quite low in sodium.1 -
Tuesday goals: To continue working on my health after losing the 20 pound challenge I lost 16 so im proud for that so I am not letting it discourage me4

Hanging on by a thread.
Did well yesterday but as I was driving home from work I noticed I was still fat! Somehow felt that I should notice a difference after surviving ONE day on track. What a nutball. Lol8 -

Mermaid princes Rach- I sometimes buy a bar of 90% chocolate, divide it up into serving sizes and hide most of it in the freezer. I keep one serving accessible. Having to really dig for more will sometimes make me think twice about what I am doing. And I savour each bite of the allocated piece4

not great this week, but better than nothing.
i just get frustrated because I am taking care with my calories and I am up from Sunday and I get a bit impatient with daily fluctuations.
Good luck to everyone this week!

@MermaidPrincessRach I cannot do it either... I know if I buy the chocolate I do not stick to the allotted portion.
I did that Friday............ told myself 4 squares, and had the whole bar. then Kept away from real food for the rest of the day , which is probably the worst thing i could do.
tldr: I cannot buy chocolate, I have to do it cold turkey... and (unfortunately) maybe you are like me.2 -

As predicted, bad food choices this weekend + Aunt Flo's visit this week = my first recorded gain in a challenge. I know it's temporary and it will come off soon enough but I am still disappointed.

I found a snack from Craft called Trios. They have several different kinds, but the one I like has dried cherries, cheddar cheese, and dark chocolate. That helps with my chocolate craving for the day and is already portioned out for me so I don't have to worry about over doing it.1 -
thank you dmorrical, a small preportioned snack is a good idea for my lack of will power!
oh, and 12 .2 pounds is awesome!!!!2 -

Houston, we have a big drop! About freakin time too!! I'm glad to have finally broken through the 197 mark that I've been stuck on for over a month. I can only assume that a good portion of this loss is water weight given that I've got my diet back in check. I've stuck to my nutrition plan fairly well this past week with the exception of an ice cream (or two). Running has definitely helped kick start the burn again too. I've got 2.2 lbs to come off before the end of the month in order to meet my DietBet weigh-in so here's to hoping that the scale keeps going down5 -

It's a loss, it's a loss!!!! after gaining 4lb since last weigh in I'm in shock!
Wednesday wish: that I hadn't gotten side tracked and that reloosing the 4 lb was in reality -4lb on my total. But getting back to basics has gotten me back on track, but I really need to step up my steps and workouts again. I also wish this neck and shoulder tension that has been dragging my motivation down for the past 3 weeks would go away!!5 -
Tuesday goals: I want to be able to stop eating between meals. I have such a hard time controllig myself lately. A bite of food here and there doesnt show on my diary but it shows on the scale. Despite 3 meals and snacking, I still feel hungry too. I try to consume a lot of protein but it depends on what is at work.
Anyway, the leftover pizza from this weekend is gone so I have no excuse to start anew. And with 2 weeks off coming up, I am setting a goal of at least 1h walking everyday.
Have you tried having 5 to 6 smaller meals instead of just three big ones?
Thing is I cant eat whenever I want. Being at work for 14h I usually have breakfast around 8am, some kind of snack around 11.30, lunch around 1.30 and then the rest of the afternoon is pretty busy so if I am hungry I just grab whatever I can. Then I have dinner when I get home at 8.30.
Thing is when I start snacking it is not uncommon for it to get out of control and the things most available here are cookies and cakes.
Is it possible for you to pre-measure out snacks before you leave for work and take them with you in a lunch bag/cooler?
Some snacky finger foods that you could eat without really worrying about "overeating" : grape tomatoes, celery sticks, slices of green or red peppers, broccoli florets, cauliflower, cucumber spears - I know a lot of people don't like these without "dipping" them in something - take some hummus pre-measured in a container...fat free ranch dressing...use sparingly...
Other things that I like to munch on are chunks of melon. Strawberries are relatively low in calories.
Take pre measured bags of pretzels or crackers - limit to one or two servings leave the rest at home - then you won't be able to eat the entire bag.
Just about any challenge can be overcome with a little planning & thinking outside the box.1
