    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. :)

    I guess I could but I literally spend only 8h/day at home, including sleep time. I barely have anythig in the fridge. Part of it is laziness I know. I just cant find the courage to do meal prep and a lot of grocery shopping on weekends.

    Karen, you should be fine with that ... weigh-in is Monday through Sunday of the week. It's nice if you can weigh in on the same day each week, but it'll all even out in the end if you don't.

    PS ... If I had weighed in yesterday instead of today I would lighter on the scale! :) And I have a hunch that I'll be lighter again in a couple of days than I was this morning. :#

    Going backwards! :( I guess I wasn't as careful as I had hoped this last week. I had a friend visiting for the week and we ate out several times. I can't be upset because she is one of my best friends and lives in NY and I'm in FL so we don't get together very often. We had a wonderful week and I'll just have to work extra hard now to take off the added weight and hopefully some more! Heading out to ride my bike and then I'll come back and catch up on all the previous posts! :smiley:

    @sand86802 - I subscribe to Graze snacks, www.graze.com. The snacks come in 4 or 8 snack/box every 2 weeks. You can select your type of box (low cal, hi protein, etc) and try out lots of different snacks, and rate them as like, love, trash, etc. I like them because they are pre-measured and come with a nutritional sheet so you know EXACTLY what the calories are. Most of the Graze snacks are in the database too, so it's easy to track. And there's a big variety, from sweet to salty to savory and spicy. They are handy and you can throw them in a drawer at work so you always have something healthy to snack on. You can get a free trial box using my friend code, TRACYG9PB.
    I didn't get to my physical therapy today, which is where I get my official weigh-in. I will weigh in on Friday and post my weekly total for the challenge.

    Sorry to mess up the team batting average this week. Went to visit Mom in FL and thought I made good food choices but wasn't logging (and certainly wasn't weighing/measuring), so up 1.8 pounds. Hopefully our lead off batters are on a winning streak!

    Thursday - Truth (got anything you need to fess up to or get off your chest?)
    I'm an emotional eater. I have been going through some personal struggles at home and it has created a lot of internal stress. I'm working through it, but sometimes I stumble and fall back on coping skills that are not good for me, one of them being how I eat. Anyway, that's my Thursday Truth.

    I spend way too much time thinking about losing weight. It is an obsession and I cannot stop thinking about what I eat, when I exercise, how much I will lose, etcetera. It sucks and it isn't healthy
