What worked for you today?

What worked for me was pulling over at the local high school on my way home and walking 1.5 miles around the track. I’m learning that my workouts don’t have to burn a million calories. Sometimes it’s just about consistency and dedication to moving every day.27

What worked for me today was taking the time to put my dinner on a plate. Dinner was a bunch of different snacky things - cheese, olives, grapes, smoked salmon, sesame sticks, raw veggies - all stuff I tend to nibble on while standing at the kitchen counter. Instead I weighed and logged everything, arranged it all nicely on a plate, sat down and enjoyed my meal.15

What worked for me started yesterday by going to bed at 10pm so I woke up this morning at 6:15am for my gym session. Having breakfast ready to go so all it needed to be was reheated and since I did get my early morning session in, I only had 4,000 or so steps to hit my 11,000 daily goal. I sit most of the day so getting a majority of my steps in the morning really helps10

Getting changed straight into gym gear as soon as I got home, zoomed with strong mates, got training session done and early night now. Exciting!6

Hi. I'm new here. What helped me today is having to measure and record everything I put in my mouth.9

Continuing to educate myself. I found out that hormone changes during menstruation may affect my weight, so when I'm on my period, I can ignore the scale for a few days. That's a relief.12

I'm not sure what it is that changed for me, but I'm moving a lot more and while my body is sore from all the unaccustomed doing of things, I feel a lot better. I am pretty sure that this will show up on the scale/in how my jeans fit in due course.7

I did not buy snacks(to eat in the car) at the store when grocery shopping. That had become a bad habit.8

Recognized a trigger. Drinking alcohol makes me want to eat...everything. Instead my husband and I got a small thin crust pizza and split that, and I feel perfectly satisfied.9

I made it to work....lol
Somedays that's all I got.13 -
@Remus42, sometimes that's enough!
I started this thread months ago and completely forgot--but I need it. What worked for me yesterday was being patient with myself. I had consumed all my calories by 3 pm and it was getting dangerously cold outside. Plus, Covid. So I was (am) home-bound and couldn't really get my usual walking exercise. We have about 5 days of really bad cold weather (Wi, polar vortex) ahead. I'm just going to take a mental vacation--not worry about exercise. Watch my intake. Eat at maintenance if I feel like it. This too shall pass

What worked for me was plan plan plan plan plan. I plan my meals every Saturday. This week I managed to plan a pizza. I came in under my calories. I am so happy I made the maths work I only have pizza once or twice a year but knowing I can do it with the numbers working is brilliant 10

Taking a 30 minute walk to the Lake4
-
Pre-logging a cup of low calorie hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream for an after-dinner treat. It put me over my calories by about 50 but I figure it's better than sitting down with the box of cookies that's calling my name.14
-
logging everything (third day in a row now) - mostly pre-logging then final refine tweek after supper to see what evening snacks might fit in today's quota.
70 minutes on the stationary bike in the basement "commute from work time" (work from home for 11 months now) means LOTs of snack options available, yet plenty of "exercise calories" still left in the pot so to speak.
