what worked for me today is preparing myself for january's challenge

Ginharbe · December 2021

I take that BACK, just finish my entry, total disaster, total miscalculation, TERRIBLE

Oh no, @Ginharbe !! I hope you're able to sort things out.

As for me--at work, I'm stationed at the front desk with a coworker, but twice a week she goes elsewhere to work undisturbed for a couple hours. In the past I've had a hard time getting my steps (I shoot for a thousand an hour) because crewing the desk alone can be hectic. Today I'm walking ahead of time, so I still get my steps without adding stress.

Today I drank the recommended amount of water and felt a lot more satisfied.

Eating the craving but as lunch, not as an extra snack. Definitely was enough and I felt so good after

Committing to not eat out of boredom. Log my food AS WELL AS THE TIME.... Important to me because I lose track of time and ending up blowing it to hell if I don't!!!

Recently, I've been eating smaller breakfasts and lunches so I can save calories for a really good dinner. I used to eat breakfast at 7:30ish. Lately I've been waiting until 9:30. Eat lunch around 1:30, and dinner around 6:00. I've been doing this for about two weeks and, so far, I'm managing to not feel starving through the day, and it leaves me with around 800 calories for dinner. Tonight is baked yam with butter and brown sugar, steamed cauliflower with butter, and homemade meatloaf, with ketchup. Can't wait!

Changing my Avatar picture worked wonders today. I had chocolate on my mind and then I remembered why I am here. I might have only three or four friends, but how can you feel alone at a place with so many members. I didn't need chocolate. I needed to remember.

My accountability mirror. I knew that those post it’s we’re staring back at me. I want to be able to switch them off Sunday. I knew there were actions I committed to and come hell or high water, I need to do them.

getitamb · January 2022

This is silly but I also pay myself a penny for every meal I log in. I’m enjoying putting the pennies in the jar at night.

Water water water. And herbal tea. It's filling me up and hydrating me to the point where I realize I wasn't hungry at all.
Also, workout clothes. When I get dressed in workout gear first thing and walk my dog I'm tempted (like today) to jog parts of the walk. My left leg has been severely injured years ago and will never be the same so actual running will never be in the cards for me anymore but doing a little 15m jog twice during a walk gets the heart rate up and the blood pumping. It's the small changes that add up ppl!

Bump.

Planning ahead is working for me today.

Last night I remembered that my roommate is making cake tonight. So I switched my breakfast plan of chocolate zucchini baked oatmeal (330 cal) plus milk (150 cal) for plain greek yogurt with a tb of jam (240 total.) Also cut out my "treat" coffee and had a cup of tea with a tsp of sugar (saving a good hundred calories, probably more.)

I might not make my calorie goal today, and if I don't, I won't beat myself up over it. Either way, I'll a good 340 calories closer than if I hadn't planned ahead!

What worked for me today was having hot tea instead of dessert. I had made an applesauce cake for dessert, but underestimated the calorie count on my tacos for dinner. So, instead of being over by 300 calories, I put the cake away and made some of my favorite naturally sweet hot tea to sip on. I'll have some cake tomorrow, but for today, I'm full, satisfied, and within my calorie goal

Knowing that I was going out to eat tonight so I did extra time on the peloton so I have more spare calories for tonight. I was so conscious of the meal tonight it made me push really hard to burn extra calories

I got a sinus infection and made up my mind not to overeat. I always eat when sick. Food takes my mind off my sickness. This time I said deal and took my medicine and ate healthy, eggs, oatmeal, soup.

neffybetty · February 2022

I entered my own foods into the database so the nutritional information is correct! and I'm the only one that can access it.

LilacLion · February 2022

Time restricted eating. At 6 pm, I cut myself off. My eating window is noon until 6. It's forced me to put more thought into planning and prepping nutrient-rich meals. It's helped me cut out snacking after dark and going to bed on a full stomach.

LenGray · March 2022

I did some meal prep today. I made some seitan pork for sandwiches and bowls, some pizza crusts, and chopped up some veggies. Now I just have to throw things together for the rest of the week

What worked for me today was an intense 65 minute treadmill workout. I earned myself 595 extra calories. Got all my meals mapped out for the day and
still have 1000 cal left over.

LenGray · March 2022

What worked for me today was taking breaks between tasks.

I've been setting myself 3 things to do each day (usually a work task, school task, and house task) and it's been strange to have to remind myself that I don't have to get them all done at once, right away, as soon as possible. I feel much more centered when I take my time and I've been making better decisions for my mental and physical health since adopting the habit. It's so nice to be able to go for a walk, play guitar, or just stand out on my patio with some coffee and not have the 'to-do' list running through my head all the time.

What worked for you today?
