    @moodybear2003 - sorry to hear about your back feel better soon.
    @Nikion901 - thanks for information on platues. Are you using an app to track? on my iphone when tracking it changes the amount of calories with every change in weight.
    @GOINSTD12 - hope you feel better with health issue you talked about.
    @SammyKlingler - i use a beginner video for fitness bands and zumba

    For myself I didn’t log of thursday or friday for those were bday outings and I didn’t want to track just eat and have fun. So scale maybe up a little this week. I have incorporated a stationary bike to my routine at gym...i like it but seat is very annoying to sit on.

    @canyonGeek Thank you so much for cheering us on and summarizing our stats!

    I have to say that I've NEVER stuck with a challenge when I stumble. I usually quit. I promised myself that this time, no matter what, I'm going to succeed. It's taken me a several decades of doing this the wrong way and I have to unlearn a lot of things, especially how to handle my emotions + eating too much.
    I'm grateful that this thread exists and for all the lovely people who participate.

    Sorry I have not posted recently. I was just trying to see how this all works. My SW 331, My CW 311.5. My GW 200 sometime next year. I hope to be around this thread for a long time.

    They say knowledge is power. Well I feel a lot of power in these threads knowing I'm not alone and others are sharing the same struggles I have with food everyday.

    Feel free to add me if you want more support and motivation.

    Tuesday - Goals (do you have any Goals you want to update us?)

    Since my weight has been creeping up and I'm experiencing accountability challenges because of it ... that desire to 'keep it secret' instead of sharing it with the community because of shame over the stumble ... (Yes, I know, immature and non-productive thinking, wasted emotions, etc., etc., etc ) ...
    ... I am re-affirming my goal of eating just 250 less than I did, on average, in the past 30 days. ... my average calorie intake was 1875 calories and so I want to keep my average at 1620 ... because 1875 is pretty much my maintenance level.

    Its great to see new faces!

    My chiropractor cleared me for regular activity, and cancelled the rest of my flare up adjustments because I recovered fast. It Took all day to get enough motivation and energy to get to the gym, but I did it! I stopped at the store after and got stuff to refill my healthy snack basket. Everything is 200 calories or less, the only thing that high is trail mix. Most are 100cal or less, i can grab 1 or for work instead of being tempted by the candy vending machine. Everything comes from a graze subscription or aldi's fit&active line. I got 40 prepacked snacks for $12 and change, that's 31 cents a snack.

    Fess up..... hmm. I started working put in the morning. I prefer the workouts at night, but I have no energy during the day when I do.

    Fess up time- I totally binge-ate yesterday.
    Double my calorie limit, probably. At least.

    That pie was calling my name for days and I gave in to it's siren song knowing it was a stupid move. Ugh. And I know it has everything to do with grief and finding comfort in the wrong place (food) and of course I'm disappointed in myself BUT I'm moving on today. I'm immediately climbing back out of that place of self-condemnation and downward spiral of throwing in the towel because of one really bad day.

    Hubby cleaned out the rest of the unhealthy leftover holiday food this morning and I ate and tracked a healthy breakfast and have a plan for the rest of my day.

    @moodybear2003 31cents a snack sounds pretty awesome. Reminds me I need to stop buying eggs and protein bars at work. The markup is unbelievable. #Goals #BringSnacks

    You can do it! Stash your own bars at your desk, or put them next to your bag or keys. Grab and go!
