What worked for me today was a slow cooker dinner already cooking so that dinner is taken care of tonight.7

What is the brand name of the "lemon loaf tea"? Hope I can get it in the US.1 -
Getting behind the wheel of my "thin" friend's car, and not having to move the seat back. I even noticed today that I really should pull my seat "up" in my car. It's a different world out there when you're thinner!5

Not weight related but self care. I called my dentist because I'm in bad tooth pain so tonight I will pick up antibiotics and a pain killer. I have a hard time with self care so this is a big step for me.12

We took stuff to the dump today, and I can tell that our workouts are already paying off, because we lifted old pieces of fencing and random leftover bits of guttering and a tote full of golf balls the previous owners left (WTF?) and felt physically competent doing it, and that's a NICE feeling.9

Main thing is I didn't just throw in the towel and give up. I got right back on track today, saying I am human I do mess up and journaled some about why I overate yesterday and made a plan for next time.
I would not go to a buffet unless I *planned* to 'mess up,' haha. Every now and then I just don't think about my weight/healthy eating, because once in a blue moon won't hurt. I'm in a holding pattern right now--birthday and vacation. I won't do any serious damage in a couple of weeks and a few pounds gained will be mostly water weight. And any "real" weight gain (ie, fat), will not make more than a couple of weeks difference in the big scheme of things. Knowing that, and having a healthier lifestyle for my day to day living, makes it so much easier to enjoy this time and not feel hopeless because of it.3 -
went to a church eating thing, buffet style, I ate veggies and meat and 1/2 piece of cake, left the rest of the carby stuff alone. I learned my lesson after last week at Golden Corral, dont go back after sweets, leave bread alone. If you go back for 2nds, let it be veggies. win win6

A long walk. I’m on vacation and eating what I want. Enjoying myself bc sometimes it’s ok not to focus on losing.5

It's from Tazo! I'm in the US as well (Georgia) and I get it at Kroger

love these posts, very helpful. I had Hershey choc pie and split it with husb. I try not to deny me stuff because if I do I will just go crazy with it later. We ate fish sand at Burger King and I take my low carb flatbread.7

today i tried my best to stay within the limits of my macronutrients for the day, unfortunately still went a little over on carbs but less than yesterday, kinda still over on the fats and proteins just a little under the reccomended grams. Kinda had too much avocado with my dinner turning it into a salad of sorts with organic spinach and vegan shredded cheese no dressing. Just gotta keep trying and tuning the food selection.6

I added 20 gm of protein in a smoothie every morning. It got me closer to what MFP says I should have. After I did that, the "scale moved" and I've been losing the 1 lb a week I had planned. 8

Listening to my body & not eating until hungry
Listening to my body & eating more if it’s still hungry
No sugar
Eating each meal in two parts spread apart
10K steps every day, year round6 -
Keeping busy all day. One thing I've really noticed during the pandemmy is screen time = eat time and since my screen time has been up, oh, about 1000% , it's not a good look. When I limit my screen time (Netflix, video games, mindless scrolling) and do more analog stuff like cleaning, drawing and reading I also eat less.5

Mini tootsie roll pops.
20 calories each. I get a bit of sugar and chocolate and it lasts a long time.6 -
What worked for me was eating plenty of fat and protein. An avocado and sardines for an early lunch kept me full for 5 hours.5

Ran for 3 minutes, tracked my food6

YouTuber Will Tennyson suggested a walk after meal to aid digestion and he also recommends that you get 10,000-15,000 steps per day. I decided to combine them. In the morning I do my usual 60 minute workout and for the last two weeks I have added going out for a walk after dinner. I use that walk to complete my 10,000 steps for the day. The results have been miraculous. The scale is moving again, my sleep has improved 100% and my "colon health" is the best its been in many years.....

Today it was getting laundry completed and a weight lifting session, then got my first dose of my covid vaccine. ( Super stoked about that) And now it's beautiful and warm outside so after this lunch of mine I am hitting up a bike session too.
All before work tonight....lol 5
