Daily Post for Monday
Track: Yes
Calories: No. Nope. Definitely Not. hahaha
Exercise: stairs, lots of stairs....
Water: 112 oz
Got treated to lunch today. Ate pretty well. Didn't go too far overboard... I somehow ended up with more calories for dinner than for lunch. haha Oh well. My daughter was supposed to eat part of my dinner, but she decided she wasn't hungry, and I can't waste food..... So I ate it all. 3 cheeseburger patties (homemade) with a touch of ketchup (I use very little). So I went about 540 calories over for the day, but I still think I made good choices. So I am keeping it as a win. haha I am back on track now!1 -
@Flossie1981 Great loss this week, you're doing great!!
@jmacaroni You'll get back on track, and the good news is that you do still get some water from your food too!!
@tinak33 Stairs are great exercise, and the stairs will help with calorie overages

I forgot to post my weigh in yesterday, so here it is now. Yesterday was a Fat Tuesday (aptly named) potluck at work for lunch followed by a Galentine's chocolate and wine event last evening. Yeah, not even feeling bad about it right now. Of course, next weigh in day, I might, so I need to get back on track between now and then.

Exercise: Meh, the usual.
Water: 114 oz
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
Since yesterday was "Fat Tuesday", I came home to my mom making steak dinner with chocolate cake for dessert... I did pretty well, but when my baby girl doesn't finish her food, I have to finish it for her. I can't waste it! So I was under my calorie goal by 7, until she decided she didn't want to finish her cheese and banana. So I did my motherly duty and ate the leftovers
(sooo good.....). It wasn't much. But it put me over in calories by about 30. Oh well!
My weigh in is tomorrow, so definitely eating lighter today! hahaha1 -
Daily Post: Tuesday
Track: Yes.
Calories: Over
Exercise: Yes, dance practice.
Water: About 64 ounces.
To be honest, I've been doing really bad on staying on track and eating healthy these past few days. Ever since last Friday. Feeling kind of crappy about it. Like Friday night it was girls' night out and we went to a Persian Restaurant and I had koobideh and rice, on Satuday it was my mom's birthday and we had pizza and cake, on Sunday I was studying for my exam and had Taco Bell with my brother, on Monday I was also studying and had Chipotle for dinner, yesterday was my exam and I had Teriyaki chicken with rice for lunch AND my mom ordered costco pizza so I had a slice of that for dinner. My food intake has sucked since Friday and I think it probably has taken a toll on my weight. I feel so bleh.1 -
Daily Post: Wednesday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Step class and Bodypump
Water Intake: over 100 ounces
I'm exhausted today. Working out on just 4 hours of sleep is no bueno.1 -
Daily Post (Tuesday)
Day/Goals: Stayed under calories, went to my show, decided to take the 4 flights of stairs in the parking garage for some added activity, pretty happy with that decision. My tiny house guest went home so she can start getting back to normal, hopefully my whole family can, but there's still a road ahead of us there.
Track: Nope
Calories: Probably, I ate what I normally eat
Exercise: Sortof. I had activity, walked a couple blocks, took the stairs in the parking garage, but no official workouts.
Water Intake: 99 oz

Awww..... sorry you feel that way.... that was my entire month of January. haha
Just keep tracking and take it one day at a time! I went out to eat on Monday for lunch. Was all about being better on Tuesday because I over ate on Monday. Fat Tuesday happened and my mom was all "here's tons of awesome food and cake!!" So today I am trying to be on point and eat light since weigh in day is tomorrow.....
Forget about the weekend, forget about the past few days.
What are you having today? Maybe log the food in advance and see if that helps? Keep coming back here for daily posts. That helps.
And we all have times when we eat and eat and eat..... Like Fyreside said in a previous post somewhere (I have it printed and posted on my computer now) - "Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most."
You got this. 1 -
@crazedknight You're doing great, and the sodium becomes less of an issue if you're exercising and drinking lots of water, but you're aware of your "weaknesses" or "areas of opportunity" as I like to think of them and I think that's half the battle when you're trying to change your habits!!
@Calli1616 Honestly, I think posting helps, regardless of what you're posting. I think it keeps your goals fresh in your mind and helps keep you on track and you're doing great!! Keep it up!!
@143tobe AWESOME JOB! Congrats!! Patience and persistence pay off!! Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer than we want it to and the key is not to give up! Working out on 4 hours of sleep has been my entire week!! I haven't adjusted to having a toddler in my house and I am still staying up late and getting up super early with her..no bueno, but thankfully there's coffee!
@Bambinam We all have those days or even weeks that just don't go our way. The trick is to let yourself off the hook because shaming yourself really isn't going to help! What is going to help is forgiving yourself and picking up where you left off because quitting isn't going to help for sure!!
@mjohemme You are doing a great job, awesome loss! Keep up the great work!!
@tinak33 Well you still didn't do too bad, even eating her left overs!!
@ssssanaaaa I understand how hard it is when you get off track to get back on track. But definitely don't beat yourself up because that's not going to help, forgive yourself and start again, with the next meal--don't delay--getting further from your new "habits" will only make it harder to get back I think. Honestly for me, it's where the "eating for my goals" phrase came from. I don't "diet" I just eat for my goals. My goals are to gain muscle and lose fat and that means I can't overeat and not eat properly or I won't attain my goals. So even when I go out, and tomorrow is my birthday (I am going to make some "diet" friendly cupcakes to celebrate) and last weekend was my big birthday party...I didn't overeat, I even made my own diet friendly birthday cheesecake to bring to my party...sometimes it's about finding the balance. And I would rather modify my plans/food plans to include those special occassions, but I don't eat off plan because I can't get back on and it's been my downfall in the past. I think that when I started thinking of it as "eating for my goals" it was really a game changer for me.1
