What worked for you today?

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

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 -
I'm getting the hang of the food scale and weighed everything last night that I'd be eating today and logged it. Today is easy, especially because last night we made a big batch and are using leftovers for the next couple days, so I don't have to question whether something fits into my calories or not.11

I made a deal.
I didn't want to go running, so I told myself that I didn't have to... as long as I stayed under calories. I got hungry, I ate some chocolate and mini marshmallows (lol), so my *kitten* went running.13 -
Listening to my body. I felt a bit more hungry than usual an hour after dinner tonight, so I decided to go over my cals and had some popcorn. I went over by 17 and feel absolutely fine about that.23

I was grouchy, so I took a nap instead of eating.

I love that. What a great alternative--and probably more effective.7 -
Giving into a craving I’ve been having for weeks for chips, guacamole and salsa, all while keeping it in my calorie allowance by making a low cal lunch (soup and cucumbers 150 calls ) and very low cal dinner ( roasted veggies and cod...about 250 calls) then enjoying a nice helping of chips salsa and guacamole. I don’t do things like this often but it really helps to give into cravings from time to time (73 pounds lost...in maintenance for 11 months)33

I love this thread as there are lots of good ideas and suggestions. Mine was pre-logging and having food prepped. That is key for me as I'm especially exhausted once I get home from work and am trying to take care of family and all the things.7

My alarm also went off at 3:15. It's a vibration-based alarm that sometimes bats at me and sometimes eats my hair to wake me up. Some people call it "cat".37
