Today, I drove 3 hours to handle the legal representation for two farm sales. My daughter and law partner is the client's primary attorney, but for the first time in 4 months, I got on my business casual wear and a blue blazer and went to work.
It was a 3 yes day. Got my exercise in early and stayed on target with tracking and calories (barely)4 -
Yes, yes, and yes, a good day!3

Happy Birthday @snowshoe072.
Well today was almost a pass day but I was determined not to let it be. I was snacking a lot today but still doing okay, I had banked some calories for dinner. Then I caved in to 2 peanut butter cookies. For a fleeting moment, I almost threw in the towel and gave in to the snack cravings. In the past this would have led to the rest of the day binging out of control. Well not today, I didn't want to use my last pass day. So I made myself do another round of climbing stairs (it took me an hour) and then finish up in the pool. I've been relaxing for an hour now and my face is still red... but I can say:
Yes, yes & yes
(And no cookies tomorrow.... I'm not going through this again!)
@Jana_2020 Great job! I remember doing that! It’s what taught me you can’t outrun too many calories.
Prelogging can help too! IE
“I really want some cookies.”
“Ok, go weigh them & track them.” OR “Why do you want the cookies?”
Sometimes, I go ahead & eat them, but often as I do the tracking I notice my protein is low or I’m thirsty or I realize I won’t be able to eat a satisfying dinner if I eat these Now when I’m not Even truly hungry... I think I’ll have a cheese stick/Apple/etc instead - or a big gkk loAss of water — by choice!”3 -
Yes x 3

All good. It’s been cooler hear the past 2-3 days. Wt is down & appetite is back to normal. I do wonder if the 88-95 degree heat makes me retain more water - this making me weigh a little more. It hAppened at the same time as last year. Glad for the cooler respite.1 -

Oh no! Pass day #3. But I learned something about which days are more likely to run off the rails, and hopefully, I can do something to stop it.6

@MadisonMolly2017 Thank you for your advice; I will practice that. I got a laugh out of your "It’s what taught me you can’t outrun too many calories." Sometimes those lessons have to be learned the hard way I guess
Btw watermelon and grapes are natural diuretics; try eating those to shed some water weight. Just don't eat them before bed... I've made that mistake before too!
Take care!2 -

I ended up going way overboard with my eating, not even sure why. It was completely on a whim. I can barely remember half of what I ate to be able to accurately track, but I know I had ice cream with too much chocolate sauce, too many chips, a couple alcoholic sodas. Felt awful afterwards, my stomach looked like I was pregnant lol. I know mistakes happen but man, I was doing so well! I was really excited to exceed a full 30 days without overeating, but there's always next month. I shall at least finish these last 10 days of the month strong.
I know people say that when you are aware your in the middle of a possible binge, to just nip it in the bud & stop it right there. But for me it's difficult cuz it sorta feels like a frenzy and I don't wanna stop, even if I feel pain & discomfort I wanna continue. Deeply rooted unhealthy habits are a pain in the butt to get rid of, but as long as I don't let it cycle and continue and just get back on track like normal it'll be fine. No excuses, just pick yourself back up and keep moving forward.6 -
I am all out of Pass Days...but I need to get serious again because the scales are not moving!!
The two most likely reasons for this are:
[DO FIRST] - re-do Guided Setup with your CURRENT weight / avg (realistic) pre-exercise life-style setting (what with Covid, are you more sedentary than you were pre-covid? does your current setting reflect that?)
You may find the required calories to support your current reality has changed, but your setting was still reflecting the "old reality" (when more base calories were required to support the bigger you when in a comma - and you were burning more in a regular-routine day)
[MOVING FORWARD] once true current daily calorie need confirmed - keep tight on your tracking and maybe see if you need a higher percentage protein to help holding on the "full enough feeling" longer between meals.

yes, heat /humidity DOES make you retain water. (especially humidity)0 -

Take care!
you just reminded me - frozen grapes are WONDERful in the summer! high water-content freezes well and skin keeps them from sticking together.
hmmm ..... watermelon also high water- content ... if you cubed and put them in an ice-cube tray while they froze, maybe?

Yes to exercise and tracking, no to calories, and I’m okay with that. I still tracked, which is a win for me because when I know I’m going to go over, I stop tracking and binge.2
