crossing my legs knee over knee is comfortable. hot summer and zero chaffing16

Speaking of chaffing, last night I took a 30 minute brisk walk wearing shorts and had zero thigh rub/ chaffing. It was 85 degrees out with about a thousand percent humidity:).20

My birthday was earlier this week, so the other day I had a cheeseburger to celebrate. My daughter and I also made a pan of brownies. My NSVs related to this are many - I didn't have fries with the burger, the pan of brownies has lasted several days, and I still have not gone over my calories at all this week! :-)46

And pretend don’t stop and pee much, so you’re burning more calories than MFP thinks!

I planned my day knowing I wanted to eat cake for my birthday and ate a huge piece without going over my calories. Not the most balanced day but I don’t feel guilty nor did I miss out on anything:)25

I don't know if this is a victory or not. I have had some scary days recently where binge behavior kicked in. I managed to stop short of any major binges, logged what I ate and interspersed some days of low net calories (often a result of substantial exercise burn) and managed to stay in the middle of my maintenance range. The victory is that I managed to control it and then offset it, but it really worries me that I am getting those urges and giving in even if I have managed to not let them do damage yet.27

I seemed to have leveled off for the past two weeks (it happens)... but
I did punch new holes in my belt.

I packed up 5 mini Reese's Peanut butter cups in my lunch yesterday. (I had calorie room for them.)
NSV 1: I bought these the week after Easter half price and just opened the bag yesterday.
NSV 2: I gave 1 to a coworker instead of eating them all myself like I would normally do.
I usually have no control when it comes to chocolate.29 -

It is indeed a victory and should record it as one every time you overcome or narrow the damage....keep up the good fight....that life giving fight!!!!!10 -
Put on my belt this morning and I'm down two notches from where I was 9 weeks ago!16

Just 2 notches to go and I get a new belt!14 -
1) Deadlifted 3x5x240 this morning. PR is a single at 255. I will be doing that for reps in another month or two.
2) Had a 9 AM meeting. Took a protein bar with me. Ate that instead of the donuts!22 -

Avoiding donuts should be considered a super power! 🍩11 -

Well it should, I mean donuts are like kryptonite! 🤣1 -
I tried calorie counting before and it didn't work for me. I lost a lot of weight eating less and better and working out a lot and very hard. I wanted to boost the results, so I decided to try calorie counting again.
My plan was to log only dinner and weekends, since my breakfasts and lunch are pretty stable calorie wise. So I quick added calories for breakfasts and lunches for the week.
Instead, I ended up logging every meal for the last 8 days. And surprisingly, it wasn't a drag. I know, not a big deal for most of you, but it was a mental block for me. I guess it isn't anymore.40 -
I can do 50 squats per day and I even did an Extra rep with 15 lbs weight extra as a kicker today .17

I agree with @beerfoamy -- NEVER PASS UP GOOD FITTING JEANS. They are almost as impossible to catch as a rare unicorn! XD XD XD. My favorite pair of jeans stopped making my cut and now I'm sad. Although, I found sparkle-y jeans that I've gravitated to instead because (as my husband says)... I'm a fish, lol.
I know, but I am cheeeaaap. Although I really don't need any more bottom halves, it's tops that I never buy any of (no matter how many shopping trips I go out to buy tops on). And I'm just under half way to my goal weight so I don't want to risk dropping another size and having two pairs of jeans that don't fit properly
I'm a little late in replying but I also agree with the others who say buy more now, except I say don't buy just one size down. You replied that you were cheap and didn't want to buy a single size down. May I recommend my technique of buying 2 sizes down at a time? Right now you're not buying new jeans in the same size, model, and fabric because 'just' one size is not enough to make the investment, right? For me, stretchy jeans that started out tight, then got so loose that they looked idiotic was the difference of about 40 pounds, so same technique but cost savings?9
