Good morning everyone!
I was going to log on last night but working in the ER the day of a full moon is NO JOKE! I didn't believe the superstitions, but it is REAL! We're talking all the weird stuff in like one day. From 2 patients to every room full in a matter of minutes! The good, the bad, and the downright ugly! lol
Anywho, I came home and pulled out my computer and passed out mid password *facepalm*
The good part was I got in my steps and then some!
The bad was I didn't get a lunch break so it was eat a bite here and there in between as you could...I had planned on getting a salad from the cafeteria but didn't get to go so I ended up nibbling on the pizza that our bosses had bought us.
My steps for 9/3 were 10,620. *raises the roof!*
I got an impromtu day off for a meeting with my little one's teacher so I am cleaning house, meal planning, and trying to rest a little. Tomorrow I will prep! If anyone has any fast, easy, and yum ideas for me, let me know!
I will see ya'll later today! Make it great guys!

Weigh in Day is Monday
Treadmill 1 mile --- Yes, actually did 3 times, 1 mile each to make up for calories... yikes!
Water (60 oz) -- 88 ounces
Workout 3x week -- Tues Sept 1-yes, Wed Sept 2-yes, Thurs Sept 3- yes
2000 steps -- 9685 steps today
Logged all food/drink -- yes
Just a note and maybe others can help me with this. I am in the process of quitting smoking and today was my actual first day with not even one puff on a cancer stick, hence all the calories. If you have been down this road, what did you help curb those cravings. In the past, when I have tried to quit, I always gave up on quitting because food is my go to and the pounds would just come on.
I thought I was "snacking" better this time, but after today, I can see I need to alter something in this mess, okay the cheese puffs are probably not the best snack.
But I did stop with only one serving. haha
Great job on your steps! I don't have any personal advice to give but when my dad was quitting he would use hard candy for cravings that wouldn't go away. His favorite was butterscotch disks or peppermints. Not exactly healthy I suppose but they take a long time to eat one.3 -

Under Calorie Yes
Exercise Yes
Steps 10508
Water 128oz
Weight Lifting- Took a rest day and plan to do day 3 for the week today or tomorrow
Decluttering- Finished taking everything out of the memory chest in our closet. It needs to be organized as there was so much stuff piled on top of it that needs to go in it, but there was no room. Going through some things in there was a huge blast from the past, I found myself laughing and reminiscing quite a lot while organizing. It was kind of nice.
Took a 50 minute walk around the neighborhood last night, left too late and it got dark on me. It's getting dark earlier now so I think if I can't leave the house by 7:30 I'll need to use the treadmill. I don't feel comfortable walking in the dark. I did get the rest of my steps in though. Still have just a bit of soreness in my muscles, mostly my triceps, but it's almost gone.1 -

I quit smoking about 15 years ago. I do remember that I had really crazy sugar cravings in the beginning...and I'm not that big into sweets usually. I would bake a pan of brownies and then eat a pan of brownies😕. I gave myself a pass on that for the first couple of weeks figuring that quitting smoking was worth a few extra pounds. After the initial adjustment, I'd have sugar-free Werther's candy if I was in the mood for something sweet or sunflower seeds in the shell if I wanted something salty. Both took a while to eat, so the calorie impact wasn't as extreme as a pan of brownies. I also snacked on beef jerky-the hard dry kind that took a long time to chew. As I recall, in the end the total gain was insignificant and so worth being free from nicotine!
Wishing you well!2 -

@lindamtuck2018 - I bet sodium is playing into the shocking number. Eat clean today, drink lots of water and watch that salt. It should right itself in a day or two

I always thought that the full moon thing was a myth. Now I know different. I don’t meal prep but I find Pinterest a good source of information on things like that.TASCascalho wrote: »Hi all!

Congrats on meeting the 10 pound milestone! You are right sodium is playing a part. It has been crazy around here for a few days. I haven’t cooked a meal since Wednesday. We are eating out again tomorrow for a family celebration we missed last week. I can’t wait for Sunday to cook a meal again. Hopefully by next Friday things will be turning around.1 -

You are logging so that’s good. Sodium is wicked in restaurant food. Just enjoy for time away and you will be back to measuring your portions when you get home.Daily Post Friday

Calories: under
Exercise: none
Water: ✅
Steps: 9,468
DBF: 1
I am surprised my weight is starting to come back down today as we had subway for dinner last night. I did not binge last night so that helps. We are going out for dinner tonight for the family celebration we missed last weekend. We are going bowling after. The grandkids are going to sleep over too.
I am so sore from yesterday. The apartment is back in one piece. I could have done it over a couple of days but I was so sick of the disruption that we did it all last night. I may not have walked yesterday but I sure got exercise moving furniture.
Anyone doing anything exciting this long weekend?
Today’s goals
1. No binge eating
