joan6630, I like how you look forward to occasions. I usually get to the occasion and then I'm upset that I have nothing flattering to wear. I need to think through the rest of the years's occasions and plan better! Great tip!3 -

I will forget all about yesterday. I avoided the chocolate which is not a big deal for me, but had too many potatoes at supper, then a cupcake for dessert. Even at that it wasn't too bad, but then I got the munchies terribly bad and ended up snacking all evening searching for something that I never did find. I should have just gone and bought the potato chips that I think would have satisfied the craving. I haven't done that in a long time so I will forgive myself and move on. Hope everyone has a great day!

I just saw this on a Canadian News Station. This is pretty inspiring.

Woo-hoo to you for being able to refuse the dessert with a sabotager on the loose!!!4 -
@joan6630 So glad you have returned! You are sorely missed.
I did fairly well yesterday. MFP won't allow me to log all food---assuming that it's not just me---so had to guess on some things. Made a huge platter of French toast and didn't eat any of it. Good thing because the two kids gobbled them up. I love French toast but I wasn't wanting it so skipped it---no way I would have done that a month ago---and I might never do it again--but jfy I did it!
JFT, 4/2
I am staying in the green
I am walking (done)
I am drinking 8 cups of water (4 down)
I am working on my next online lesson
Peace and joy!

JFT
Freaky morning-my alarm didn't go off! I was waking my kids as the bus was leaving our stop!
Back on track though...
Walk w/dog at park done. Add evening walk w/dog in neighborhood. Went last night.
Plan suppers for week. Tonight roast a large pan of mixed veggies and use bok choy too.
Lunch salads & low fat spreads premade.
Signed up to try a free Stronglift 5x5 program. I'm clueless but need to try something new.
Pilates today & first day of Stronglift.
Meditate. 2x 15 mins each.
Send bag of chocolate eggs w/husband to work tomorrow. We have enough!
Catch up on reading-try to not turn on TV tonight.
Early to bed and set the alarm!
Remind myself that I've successfully given up Drive thrus & fast food iced coffees, reaching protein & water consumption goal almost daily.
Keep exchanging bad habits for good ones.
Made lava cakes yesterday for Easter dinner & they were awesome even though they were high in sugar. Need to try to do a low sugar version.
Have a great day everyone!

What an inspiring story! Thank you for sharing.2 -
Dammit! MFP went down for me today while logging breakfast and I couldn't get it to work - so frustrating!
I then overate because I couldn't tell exactly which mouthful drove me into the red
and then I felt so down that I didn't exercise
it's like an evil snowball.
Tomorrow, four goals I will achieve even if I can't MFP my kj:
weigh-in
avoid dairy and gluten.
stick to standard serving sizes. (per meal)
change into workout clothes and sit on the exercise bike at least once today!
AND log food on MFP (if available).5 -
I'm currently sitting on a train with a big tasty Easter egg in my bag. I'm going to be on this train for another 2h15.
I'm not going to eat it!!!

Haha no you’re not!
Never mind “just for today” you can not eat that Easter egg “just for the next 2hr15!”
Good luck!

NO NO NO --- DON"T eat the egg!!! Remember how good you have been doing! And the egg will only taste good for about 3 seconds, and then it will be gone! Give it to someone else - or toss it out the window! And really .... you have to be on that train for 2hr 15 min!!!! I would go nuts!5 -

i hate that. and if i know i'm in the red, i will more likely go much deeper red because i figure i already screwed it up.3 -
I actually can’t find any goals for today, and thinking maybe I forgot to post them? Ah well! It’s been a good Easter. We had quite a low-key one because of my niece still being in hospital. The girls had a friend over to play yesterday and I made easter nest cakes with them, gave them chocolate eggs and delivery pizza - avoided all of it! Today I’ve done loads of batch cooking so feeling organised!
Had a rest day Saturday but got my workouts in yesterday and today. Hoping to make it to hot yoga at long last tomorrow while the girls are at a camp. My Fitbit isn’t syncing so my diary is showing no step calories. It’s really frustrating but seems to be a mfp-wide problem.
Goals for Tuesday:
- early workout
- 3ltr+ water
- Stay within calorie goal
- Try to write 6 report starters
- Maybe get to lunchtime hot yoga
Night all! X3 -

I do the same thing exactly! That's how I didn't control the calories last night.3
