@HASWLRS
Wanted you to know I'm having serious trouble with my tablet!! it's what I use for mfp it's taking me awhile to get it back on and it's getting harder and harder each time it goes out to turn it back on.
I don't have the finances to buy a new one at this time. I'm letting you know so if you don't hear from me tomorrow or in the next few days this is the reason why.
I may never be able to get back on, if I don't find a way to get the money to for a new tablet. I really wanted to complete the challenge I thought I was doing pretty good but everything happens for a reason.2 -

Well, no, you weren't doing pretty good....you were doing awesome!!! You are doing awesome. Is there a way you can get e-mail? You and I could personally e-mail each other and I could relay your entries to the team thread. I don't know what else to offer up as a solution right now.0 -

How much water do you advise drinking?
On MFP they suggest 8 glasses of water minimum. I have also heard to drink half your body weight in ounces, which for you is still 8 cups. That's what I would advise, others will be more or less; there are all kinds of schools of thought out there. (As with anything, right?)1 -

There's a juggling image, but not one of the circus variety! What's the age difference between your two babies? Good for you for not using the excuse that "I have two young children at home" to not exercise!!1 -

Very nicely done, Mel!! I didn't think the scales were going to be that kind to you this week after last week's epic loss!! Thankfully, I was wrong!2 -
Sunday, April 8
Didn't track, stay within calories or exercise.
Monday, April 9
Didn't track or exercise (was out of town for most of the day)
But I did stay within calories. I don't know the exact calories, but I know what I ate. I also took a salad and beverage with me to eat instead of getting fast food. I had a simple dinner planned that I could cook when I got home and I stuck to my small bed time snack last night. The scale rewarded me accordingly this morning.
I've allowed day to day life to start impacting my choices lately. Some quick processed foods slipping back in, it starts impacting my sleep quality which impacts my ability to address normal stresses which impacts cravings.... So, Monday was back to avoiding processed foods and planning meals. Last night, I slept soundly. This morning, the scale was already moving back down and I already feel better. Amazing how that works!

Firstly, great job on Monday, putting "real life" into practice!! You were in no position to log your food, but you used your knowledge of portions and nutrition (gained, in part, by the practice of logging) and the skill of planning ahead, to eat sensibly and stay within a desired calorie limit.
And secondly, good job on connecting the dots and realizing how processed food affects you, personally. The next trick is to remember that everyday! We tend to have selective memories when hunger (or boredom) and processed food meet up at the same time, and then we have to have the "oh, that's why I felt terrible today" light bulb moment all over again!!2 -
