I'm recommitting to my health today, and one thing that worked well for me was planning to split my calories into 3 meals and 1-2 snacks.
I'm going to try to update this thread daily so that I remember to capture the positives. I invite all of you to do the same.

What worked for me today was saving calories for my homemade chicken Alfredo supper...yu-um!32

What worked for me today was a bunch of caffeine in the morning, a positive attitude most of the day, a great workout, and really tasty food carefully logged.55

Staying busy so I didn’t boredom eat.66

Logging my food! I had what you would call cheat foods but I balanced that with other meals. I don't need to cut any one food, I just need to work then into the big picture and pay attention to my portions.50

What worked for me today, more than anything else, was shame. Ashamed of myself at eating a stick of butter and a cup of peanut butter along with a few other ingredients in the shape of cookies. Keto cookies aren't any good in excess.48
-
splitting a burger with husb and wrapping mine in lettuce, not on that bun.39
-
Planning ahead! I was going to a celebration dinner so I ate light for breakfast and lunch to have extra calories for eating out.36
-
Puttering around in a nit-picky way in the kitchen boosted my calories-burned total to the point where I'm under my goal for the day, but I can still sneak a Werther's out of my brother's candy jar (and only feel guilty over the thievery!
) 19 -
Having safe snacks around worked well when I got home for work and was really hungry and had to make food. It makes it easier to not eat something I shouldn't.18

Coming in here because I have a sweet tooth and already went over in my calories!!!27
-
Eating whatever I want to--whenever I want to...just much smaller portions and/or less frequently thru-out the day.34
-
Going to the gym, saving my calories for a big bbq, and skipping dessert when I knew I was at my limit already.27
-
Weighing out a 25g portion of walnut pieces for my snack calories and nibbling them through the day. Choosing high nutritional Quality food over sugar treats.32
-
Eating my comfort foods, logging said foods so I eat reasonable serving. So far I haven't cut anything from my diet that wasn't already cut due to food intolerances.21
-
I did research on grass fed beef19
-
I pre made all meals for today so I can be successful today in my diet no matter what happens today24
-
Having several meals worth of options prepped ahead of time so that grabbing a healthy lunch only takes seconds in the morning and allows me to tailor my eating to my day's activity level and goals without a lot of number crunching and weirdness at dinner time.

Eating wisely, no junk food.12

nice weather so I'm able to walk outside! I went for a 3-mile walk on my lunch break and plan to walk another 2.5 miles from the train station to my house after work.28
-
Drinking 32 oz of water before I leave home and logging, logging, logging. Though my meals aren't where I want them to be, I am able to see the error of my ways and make the adjustments.

Increased treadmill speed by 0.2 miles per hour. Not much but any improvement is a win.37
-
Prelogging all my food. For tomorrow, too. And I can just grab that food tomorrow, safe in the knowledge that that is within my calories, and if I get a little more because it's running day tomorrow, I can fit in an extra treat. Ooh, maybe peanut butter with chocolate chips...

Exercise. I came home from work and got in a nice jog--600 or so calories added to my remaining amount after breakfast and lunch. I'll eat back at least 300 of those. And I had forgotten how that would happen, so when I entered the exercise and saw the new number I had to play with for dinner, I was psyched.9

Took my daughter to McDonalds. Deal was 2 breakfast sandwiches for $4 otherwise 1 at regular price (a little under $3). She gave me one. I took it with me to work so that I could log here to see if it was worth calories. It was 460 calories. I saved it for my daughter. Not gonna eat calorie bombs if I can help it.24

Taking advantage of the longer period of daylight to squeeze in a second outdoor walk after class.18

I am excited for time change on March 8. My dogs will get a better evening walk once the sun is up a bit longer.

I was planning to get on the treadmill to run 5 miles but then looked outside and it was clear and sunny and warm. I just went out and did it. So glad I did because rain is coming.17

I have to plan my exercise the day before and then plan everything else around it. Helps me get it in.
Love this thread.14 -
Walking an hour early to beat the next wave of rain.
Finishing off my homemade beef jerky for a nice high protein snack, snug in the knowledge that there’s a fresh batch marinating and ready to go straight in the dehydrator.11
