What worked for you today?

I deleted the majority of food off my food lists and manually entered them, to ensure I would have accurate food entries. Some of them are still wrong, but I picked entries that were a lot closer to being accurate. The main problems were the generic entries like fruit and veges, so I'm going to enter those now.

Snack chips are my weakness, especially Doritos Organic White Cheddar chips. My victory? Only eating one serving instead of half the bag. Small victories!

I buy snacks in snack size packages. I tend to eat "Just one more" than the serving size because "that chip was small and surely doesn't count as 1" ......but snacks being premeasured actually works for me.

Last night it was two cups of 0-calorie tea

I realized I think of myself as a fit person now. I've lost weight before, but part of me still saw myself as fat. I figured if I'm fat anyway, might as well eat garbage food; it won't make any difference. This time, I feel more like a skinny person. I want to exercise and eat good food now! There are some foods I'm not eating in the house right now and I'm not tempted at all. I don't want to do that to my body anymore!

Agree and for me it's more and more raw food 💗

Remembering that fluctuations are natural and you can be up a couple of pounds (hello, salty foods!) and still be on the right path

breakfast oatmeal, raisins, with a side of egg 🦥

Now it's my Day Two, 20"+ HIIT trampoline routine
and 20" Lower ST 'squats and step-ups'

Forgot to pack a lunch, and was starving. Had a table spoon of PB instead of hitting the vending machine at work. Just enough to keep me from gnawing my arm off until I get home from work...

Fitting into the smallest pair of shorts I own!! I put/tried them on after a kitchen spillage accident, so I could finish my workout!!😁😁

One of the other teachers has students look in a mirror every day during arrival and say something positive about themselves or state a goal for the day. Today I participated too: I said I would stick to my diet today. I think that maybe voicing my goal aloud in front of others will motivate me to REALLY stick to it. It's worth a try, anyhow.

Adhering to my morning ritual. Get up, get into workout clothes I laid out the night before, coffee that I preset the night before, meditate, walk the dog, watch the headlines, and work out. The same routine every day really sets the tone for me, I feel like I’ve conquered the day before it’s even started

This morning I'm rejoining Pickleball

Today a co-worker gave me a Snickers muffin from a local bakery as an early birthday gift. I thanked her graciously, said I'd save it for later, but secretly didn't want it. After lunch, I usually crave a little something sweet, and usually am satisfied by counting out and enjoying 10 M&Ms. Today I decided to "try" the muffin. One bite and I did not like it (not really a fan of Snickers candy bars tbh). When the coast was clear, I ditched the muffin in the trash. In the past, I would not have thrown out free food. Win!

Recognizing that I'm grieving (we had to put our dog down yesterday and she was my soul mutt) and that eating those feelings is simply not going to work. In fact, it's just piling disappointment on top of sadness. Instead I'm sitting with the grief, continuing to eat healthily, and simply allowing myself to be in pain.
