    Found new app that I have been playing with called Yuka! You scan the bar code and it will tell you all it's nutrients and tell you if it is considered a good food source.
    I know FP will pretty much do the same, just something new to play with!!

    I can't get the tooth with a cavity at the root out for another three weeks, so I have a situation where eating or drinking is punished by shooting nerve pain.

    I guess I'm going to get out of the habit of snacking when I'm bored and eating more just cause it tastes good!

    I hope you feel better soon. Dental pain is the worst. 😒

    What worked for me today (really yesterday) was giving myself the grace to go really enjoy a dinner with friends last night. I didn’t overeat like I normally would and I even had dessert. Sunday morning is my β€œofficial” weigh in day and I was still down over a pound this morning.

    If I’m going to have a plan that works, I have to have a plan where I can live my life and have things like dessert every now and then.

    I agree weight loss should never be about denying yourself all the time that is just a recipe for disaster. I hope you had a lovely time πŸ™‚

    Some restorative yoga πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ to quiet my mind (which was telling me to go and stuff my face with as much chocolate as I could 😳)and relax my body.

    I feel much better for it and have avoided the chocolate monster once again πŸ™ πŸ˜‡

    What worked for me today was doing a walk/dance workout instead of the second HIIT workout I had planned since I was not feeling the first workout. :) This helped me complete my step goal for the day and feel happy as well. ;)

    Eating something different than my β€œnormal” menu. It helped me to have a bit more energy and I felt fuller. It was yummy and fit into my keto eating plan, too!!

    I was craving some bad food, so I did what I was always taught to do. Drink a cup (8 oz.) of water. It worked for me. The water gave me a sensation of being full, and I didn't want the bad foods anymore.

    Portion control, weigh and measure food. I use a food scale to weigh out my food. Has helped me lose 48 lbs so far.
    Great. Keep it up. I lost a bit over 60 kg doing exactly that, and I am continuing, if if there are some timid indications that the weight loss part of my journey is slowly nearing its end. Maintenance is planned to be the same, with just a few hundred calories added back in, very slowly, in order not to destroy what has been achieved so far.

    Ultra thin pretzels (watch the salt!), cheerios, and an apple ... all low-calorie snacks that take a while to eat.

    What work today was committing to the time I set to do morning workouts. It has been a game changer waking the same time and exercising.

    food prep! I got back from an AMAZING trip on Monday where I ate far too much for a month. I didn't manage to eat much better Tuesday. Or Wednesday--but I did make overnight oatmeal for Thu and Fri back at work. And I already had homemade soup in the freezer. Yesterday all my coworkers kept bringing me treats (and flowers--they REALLY missed me!) so I didn't eat well that day either--but today I have/am! Because that's what I have. Because I made it two days ago, and DIDN'T have to "just grab anything" this morning.
