Logged EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING.:blushing: :sad: But I do feel good it all got logged.
Now to drink water by the gallons to help with that food log. :drinker:
Today was my rest day and boy I didn't realize how much I needed one! So listening to my body is working:happy:
Looking forward to Friday getting here.

Hello Thursday Check-in!
1) Logged everything--under calories, but WAAAAAY over on sodium. However, I think sodium will be one of next week's goals. It's definitely something to keep my eye on, but since I'm still getting used to the idea that I WILL survive on just 1400 calories a day, I think I'm not quite ready to start "fine tuning" every little thing juuuust yet. :ohwell:
2) Group check in--I don't spend a lot of at home time on the computer (can't check chat boards at work), but I really like catching up on everyone's posts. The encouragement that everyone gives is so heartwarming that I just feel reassured that this group is EXACTLY where I'm supposed to be. :flowerforyou: Thank you, you Fabulous, FABULOUS PEOPLE!!
3) Make a better choice--well, having too much sodium at lunch & at dinner probably negates a lot, but I did buy a diet soda for lunch and dumped it to drink water instead. Not a huge win, but I'll take it anyway. :laugh:
That's it for me tonight. Early to bed & hopefully sleep to follow quickly. Goodnight!0 -

Sodium and sugar is what I struggle with! Seems I can never quite get it under the MFP recommendations!0 -
My Day 4 checkin!
Felt absolutely great today!!!
1. NO EATING AFTER 8PM -- check!
2. DRINK GREEN TEA WITH MEALS -- oopsie, didn't do this
3. LOG EVERYTHING -- done!
4. WALK ONE HOUR EVERY OTHER DAY -- just couldn't swing it, but I knew I wouldn't be able to today. My plan is to finish out the weekend with three workouts in a row.0 -
Thursday Check in:
1. Log all calories - I did this but was disappointed in myself. My sweet tooth got the best of me yesterday. It wasn't horrible but I would have stayed in my calorie limit if I would have just cut out one!
2. Drink 64oz. of water - made it!
3. Exercise 45 minutes 3x/week - Got 35 minutes in. I can't believe how out of shape I am! Baby steps though - I'll get there!0
