    Wednesday 17 November
    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise yes

    So I believe that I tracked everything I ate yesterday and am surprisingly still under. Woot! I did make allowances during the day (skipped my afternoon coffee :# ) and didn't go hog wild at book club (only one serving of chips and no wine :o ) I ended up over my carb goal but under calories for the day so I'm happy.

    Great job. Focus on the protein goal it's most important💜

    @IvanaKirilova I agree in that I look to meet my protein numbers first, especially if I am looking for a snack and have calories to spend. However, I do want to expand on that thought. Healthy fats are also necessary and can help one feel satiated longer, too, just like proteins. I went through the "low-fat" craze of the 90's (?) and for the longest time, according to my MFP food diary, my fats consumption was low. Now I will eat nuts, cheese, etc. with no guilt as I know it is about overall calories to lose weight and a balance for nutrition. Some people also find that too many carbs will slow their weight loss, so they try to keep them in a lower range. It really is all about personal experimentation to find what ratio of the three macronutrients works best for each individual.

    @HASWLRS I'm so excited, I discovered that I was under my carbs as well! I found when logging my coffee today that I was adding full fat/sugar creamer rather than the SF that I usually use. WOOT! I'm glad cuz I'm having veggie lasagna for lunch today and that will definitely push me over my carbs, which I wouldn't want to do 2 days in a row. My 7 day rolling average will still be good. YAY!

    Also, I'll answer the book question later, if I'm still awake. Getting my booster shot during my lunch hour and last time I couldn't keep my eyes open. :D

    @cmhubbard92 How are your quads today? I remember the day after my first BP class I had to hold onto the counter in order to lower myself into the toilet. 🤣🚽

    So, heading out tonight for book club. Hope it doesn't derail the progress I've made so far this week. :/


    I’m in need of a book. At suggestions. I do a lot on my kindle. I borrow from the library.

    I LOVE reading on my Kindle and phone!! I haven't read a physical fiction book in like 10 years. :D

    Last night was pizza night and even tho I did go over in calories, I made better choices. Like I didn’t eat as much pizza as I normally would. And this morning, I’m choosing not to beat myself over the night before and moving on 😊

    @DaffyGirl88 good to see I am not alonein my thinking. I have been dreading this week while looking so forward to this week. Kiddos all home from college and family over for the Holiday. Getting to cook for all and all the leftovers as last year I couldnt do the cooking due to surgery (but now hubs knows what t-day shopping/cooking looks like!) My next weekend starts today though and runs a week as I have a friends gathering today, a major bday party for my closest cousin tomorrow and then the kiddos (eating monsters) arrive Sunday. Hoping to chug along and not derail!

    Good luck to us all over this next week.
