Taco Tuesday/Cinco De Mayo got the best of me this week. As well as a mandated OT shift at work yesterday, in which I was not prepared for as far as food wise. Lesson learned. I need to make sure I have a go bag for when I have only 30 minutes to wake up and get ready for work. I think instead of eating before I leave... I'll delay my breakfast a bit until I'm hungry and hopefully start my day from there for when I get mandated again. Wish it was more but still happy with what I lost.5 -

I was going to make cookies yesterday. I ate most of the dough raw. It has been logged and accounted for. I’ve been over calories the last 2 days. Time to get back on track NOW!!!!4 -

If you would like a comedic view on gun control and don't mind a bit of swearing this guy is fabulous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rR9IaXH1M0
Good on you for doing this. I hadn't heard about #IRunWithMaud before, though of course did hear about Ahmaud Arbery's tragic and senseless murder.
Thanks for the video link, was good material. Lots of laughs, but also unfortunately, on this topic, comes with a sense of guilt, frustration and hopelessness. Another good comedic view with an Australian flavour is John Oliver's three part series (now 6 years old, but still holds up)Spoiler1 -

Baby pics from last weekend....
So life has handed a new twist. My daughter cannot find childcare due to COVID fallout. She has to report back or will go to jail - well, court marshaled as she is military. Her husband is the primary income so he can’t take off.
Mimi to the rescue. I will be moving down and working remotely until proper childcare can be found. I am really curious to see the effect this has on my weight loss momentum. I am taking scales and food scales with me
I am excited and scared at the same time!Spoiler
How totally adorable... Thanks for sharing cute baby pics!
So sorry your daughter is in such a tough situation - can't believe military haven't got some kind of process to take into consideration child care needs - whether that be providing it to employees or letting her stay at home in the meanwhile. Court marshalling sounds extreme!1 -

Lol Portillos.....you must be in the Chicagoland area. The first time my future husband took me to Portillos, I ordered a salad. I’m surprised there was another date as I think he considers that sacrilegious.1 -
HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is well today.
As you read above, I not only fell off the wagon this weekend - It ran over me before crashing in the ditch and burning. I was not joking about eating an entire recipe of cookie dough (less maybe 4 bites that Adeline had) The total volume was probably 1.5 cups... That's a LOT of cookie dough!!
I feel 100% confident about today. I have my early day planned and logged. Dinner is still up in the air, but i have chicken thawed from the freezer - so it will be something with chicken.
I did meal prep breakfasts last night. While working from home today, I will do some dinner planning for the week. I am very proud of the progress I have made and will not let one batch of cookie dough ruin that!!!

It took me a few months to maneuver how to relax a bit more on the weekends without disrupting progress. What works for me is to bank calories throughout the week, so that I don't have to stress about being over. I personally bank 200 calories per day M-F, which allows me to have an extra 1000 calories on the weekend. I eat 1500 per day during the week. This also allows for a much needed diet break weekly for my body. I'm averaging a little over a pound per week loss.
Hope this helps
I love this idea! I am going to give it a shot this week. Thanks! 1 -

Straight back on it, well done!
Today will hopefully be the first day of many back logging for me...... hope I can keep it up until diary close!
I've taken the day off today for the first time since lockdown began and finally got some order in my flat and feeling relatively prepared for the week ahead...... let's see if I can keep it up. Weather has come horrible but not wanting that to stop me getting out and exercising daily........1 -

Speed test today, then walked a mile and 4 miles back. Bad decision to try hard as Sunday's long run has gone up from 8.8 miles to 9.2 in the training plan.

To bad - I didn't cheat all week but yesterday night some friends came over and we had a late BBQ.
I did eat something like 2 lb of meat no beer no bread LOL
But it definitively shows on the scale.

Don't think about it as cheating - life happens and you don't want to not live just because you are changing how you are eating. My all means - hang out with the guys and eat the BBQ!!
We are not real hard @$$es here - you can weigh in a day early or late if needed.... We are flexible like that!
I bet you will have a killer loss next week!!!!!
