Daily Post (Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Day: Fully back on track with a light lunch and a light dinner. BF wanted steak so we stuck with side salad only since the steak has a lot more calories than our normal chicken. Had enough calories left over for a little Halo Top to end my evening, which was definitely needed. Made a plan with my BF that we would stay in on Friday instead of doing our usual Happy Hour and night out. We have full social days Saturday and Sunday and I just can't do a full weekend calorically or financially! I know I've been saying I need to get my finances together all summer it seems like, but I never was able to buckle down and just do it. This is the month I'm going to do it. I have some social events I've already committed to including a long weekend in Hilton Head next week, but other than those I need to stay home or keep my socializing to free activities!2 -
@Terry111330 ~ Excellent exercise! Yeah, you!! You should be hungry after all that quality exercise. Yes, plan snack meals accordingly is a key factor. Its hard to learn the right balance, but that is what this journey is all about.... Figuring it out.
You got it. Kitchen closed at specific time helps, too. Then tea & gum for me.
@jwall309 ~ Good job on dinner!! Yes, Being social can also be costly. You can do it. Saving money for me is way easier than saving calories for a night out. Lol. When is the move?1 -
@johicks We put in an application on an apartment yesterday (DC apartments are extremely competitive) so if we get it, and thats a big IF, then we would move in September 1. If we dont get it, I think we might push the move back to October for financial reasons and some career things that are up in the air right now.1

Exciting and nerve racking if you ask me. Good luck! 0 -

Hi All!!!!
I realize as I'm on my way to bed that I haven't checked in for a couple of days (I'm going with that)
I would like to catch up a bit in reading the thread and trying to post.
My little bitty loss happened because I fell into the old habit of celebrating a big loss with food. My mantra for the rest of the week is TRACKING.
I just have to get the DAR invoices sent!!!! Gahhh.....it's stressing me out.

@klilev~ Did I miss your Week #2 (Mon) weigh-in? I don't see it on the spreadsheet. Hope you are well and still charging forward.
The following teammates will be eliminated from the challenge and removed from the weight spreadsheet if there isn't a week #2 weigh-in. Please reach out to our teammates.

Daily Post
Track: Yes
Calories: At goal
Day: I have managed to shift how much I need to eat during the day to feel full. Before I would need a larger lunch with snacks to make it through the day without feeling hungry, lately I've been able to manage with a pretty light lunch and fewer snacks. Funny how our bodies and habits change without us even realizing it sometimes. BF and I mare burrito bowls for dinner with homemade mango salsa and guacamole. Its amazing how low in calories those can be when in control of what goes in them!3 -
Wednesday check-in
Yesterday started out good, but then had unexpected company, a couple of drinks and a late supper. Kitchen did not close until 8:00 pm.
Today - 40 minutes of strength training in am followed by a low calorie, protein based breakfast. Plan to make a chicken and cabbage soup today and to close the kitchen at 7:00 pm.

Daily report Wednesday
Run: C25K W7R2 done! Working up my distance now, today was 4.6 km. Feels good.
Track: pizza supper so went over. I was out with the kids all day and just decided to enjoy it! Tracked it after and was surprised it wasn't way over, only a few hundred. I think I just eat less then I used to. No regrets.
Mind: good. Funny story. A dress I bought a few weeks ago started unravelling at the seam. I went back to the shop to complain and they offered me a new one. I tried a size smaller and it fit! Feels so good!
