I'm not going to return to my old ways:
I started to slip up this weekend. It started Sunday when I woke up starving and made breakfast for my family. I got out some grapes and ate some while making the other food, but it wasn't like a handful of grapes on a little plate, it was eating straight out of the container...like, to the point where I didn't know how many I'd eaten and couldn't really track accurately. I felt like, "oh, it was just grapes" but then yesterday, I decided to have a few pieces of candy corn at my work. I took 3 and was like "okay, I've had my fix of these for the year" but then an hour later I ate some more...and then I was stressed out in the afternoon and I had a few more. By the time I knew it I'd eaten a whole serving which is 150 calories and definitely not "worth it." But worse yet, this is exactly the type of behavior I'm trying to recover from.

Just for today, I'll measure out what I'm going to eat in advance and make sure it fits with my goals BEFORE putting it into my mouth.

Hey @AB0215 and team run track minds!
As much as I tell myself I will make time for posting (and logging!) I am obviously not getting round to it enough. So I think it's best if I step away from co-captaining and let someone else take over.
I'm sorry to let you down but I need to be honest with myself and you!
I'd like to stay on the team for weigh-ins and support please and I will continue participating as before.
Thanks for all your input and special thanks to @AB0215 for all your hard work!!
Continued luck to all members, old and new

Daily post Thursday
Tricked: yes
Cannibals: over
Exorcism: no

I had a bit of a Halloween binge fest. 788 calories over or 288 over maintenance. So that negates almost 2 days of deficit. But other deficit days were under so maybe just a maintenance day. That’s okay. I enjoyed it and don’t feel guilty.

Daily Post Thursday ~Halloween~
Track: yes...kinda
Calories: so, yes, a lot. I had a buffet lunch and it was delicious and I would say I mostly have no regrets BUT it was too hard to track because I have no idea what was in what I ate for the most part so I just called at 1000 "cheat meal" and that way I can keep up my tracking streak.
Exercise: no
Oct habit: Just track: yes!
NSV: workouts haven't been as on point this week, but I can still feel my bottom muscles are stronger!
My Why Today: because I deserve to take care of myself
Goals or Day:
** long post: tl,dr: *kitten* mood but trying to stay motivated **
Halloween. I didn't choose to wear a "sexy" outfit which was kind of a relief since I'm not in terrific shape and for once I'm not trying to keep from freezing, but I'm disappointed we only did kinda kid/family stuff this year (maybe something will come up this weekend but so far no plans). I'm also down in the dumps about something that happened at work, plus I have seasonal depression that is kicking in in a major way, plus particularly bad PMS apparently. I ate a great potluck lunch at work, ate two bags of M&Ms then kind of a lame dinner where I burned some of the meatballs I made and then nibbled on a bunch of them before we sat down so THAT was a fail. Really wanted sweets all night but didn't want to settle for smarties or whatever so ended up just kind of feeling sorry for myself. I'm going to tell my partner I want a really good dessert this weekend (although tbh someone made an awesome pudding thing at the potluck that I massively enjoyed). Anyway, riding the struggle bus but back on track!
