Sounds intriguing, but no. HYE really questioned your faith?

No, but I am intrigued. Will have to look for that. HYE let someone score a "win" in an argument at work, for something that you really had no interest in anyway?

No. HYE met in person someone you first met online?

11/9 196. 11/10 Seriously abused calories yesterday and afraid to get on the scale. 11/11 11/12 11/13 11/14 11/15 11/16 11/17 11/18

Unfortunately, yes. But nothing broken. Just blood. HYE found yourself admiring someone in a yoga class?

I confess that I've completely forgotten what we were talking about.

Ouch! Not yet. :) HYE planned your day's calorie count around the dessert you plan on having that night?

@joan6630 thanks for sharing about response cards. I realize I've done something like that without knowing. Yes, definitely share more! I feel weary today. The goal is to be mellow....and get to a yoga class with my wife, drink a lot of water, and enjoy a day out of the office.

@joan6630 What are response cards? I'm intrigued.

Better calorie day yesterday, which was good. Still missed the mark but it was close. So I'm getting there. The main goal for this week is to just get back into the habit of logging again, and realizing what I'm eating. I passed on meeting up for drinks last night. My wife jokingly asked if I was feeling well. Which also…

I stopped calorie counting a few months ago, and it shows. Yesterday, started up again. And if I eat every day for the next five weeks like I ate yesterday, I'll be up 6 pounds! Who knew pretzel rods added up so quickly? That's my go to snack when I'm working. Something about the crunch is soothing. I need to drink water…

Well, if I eat every day for the next five weeks like I ate yesterday, I'll be up 6 pounds! So obviously I blew the calorie count. Who knew pretzel rods added up so quickly? That's my go to snack when I'm working. Something about the crunch is soothing. I need to drink water at work. I plan to, but then it's just coffee…

I've seen every Anna Kendrick movie.

Good thoughts, all of them. Nice job on this well-written post!

I don't know if they mumble or if I'm losing some of my hearing. I find myself asking younger co-workers to spell the words I can't make out so I can understand what they're saying. I confess that I don't want to be that old cranky guy, but I'm acting more and more like him every day.

Right there with you. Its not so much the motivation for me but the commitment to logging all the calories. Good luck!

@Alligator423 You realize that we're attracted to smart minds and bright eyes and kind hearts, right? And that a second date, and then a third, means that we're really into you? At this point, you could wear jeans and a tshirt and flip flops and he'd still be smitten.

Okay, the whole kitten thing ruins it..... *kitten* .... is the missing word

You gotta let that *kitten* go, man... Pretty sure Buddha said it. Or maybe Abraham Lincoln.

Joining you late, but I love the idea of this. Coming off a few weeks of travel and a cold, and my short term goal is to just shed this bloated feeling. 10/23: guessing 197. Will confirm later.

I'm coming off 3 weekends on the road and a serious cold that just will not go away. Which means I've gone days without exercise. 51, and guessing I'm at 197. Ultimate goal would be 175, but I'd be happy to always be in the low 180s. Oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, and I'll look for something good for lunch. Dinner may…

No. HYE had just a sudden and unexpected realization of how much you love your spouse?

I fall into crushes regularly :)

All good suggestions. I need to re-commit, too. Going to spend today working on menus, etc, and then push forward and get started.

Yes, but it doesn't happen so often now. HYE lingered over a long coffee with a friend and watched the world walk by?

No, but want to. HYE done a 24hr fast?

^^^ and ICT that I don't know how to post them!

Good tip there! Not sure what a quark is, but the Greek stuff definitely satisfies my sweet cravings.

Agreed, me too!

I'm not the most successful calorie-counter. Just last night, dinner on the delayed Amtrak to get home consisted of hummus, pretzels, Sam Adams, and M&Ms. But I also have my good days. Feel free to add me.
