Fruit only from the office snacks ❌ sigh, we had a birthday celebration at work today and having cake set me off so yeah, I did hit the snacks Took the stairs ✅ Weighed my food ✅ In bed by 10pm ❌ Summer picnic at work tomorrow, I’m anxious about the food and drinks.

Breakfast: overnight oats with chia seeds, greek yogurt, and mixed berries Snack: iced coffee, cucumber and baby carrots with spicy hummus Lunch: pasta with pesto, green beans, and cherry tomatoes (had this cold, kind of pasta salad) Snack: a small piece of coconut cake at monthly staff birthday celebration, divine But…

Fruit only from the office snacks ✅ Took the stairs ✅ Weighed my food ✅ In bed by 10pm ❌ Still struggling with a good sleep routine even though I know it’s important!

Breakfast: kale salad with quinoa, dried cherries, pumpkin seeds, ricotta salata, dill, and mustard vinaigrette Snack: plums Lunch: burrito bowl with rice, beans, shrimp, cheese, and salad Snack: cucumber and cherry tomatoes with spicy hummus, a lemon seltzer Evening: probably a yasso frozen yogurt bar

Fruit only from the office snacks ❌ Allow me to explain: our office manager tossed my beautiful lunch and snacks as part of a fridge cleanout 😭 Took the stairs ✅ Weighed my food ✅ In bed by 10pm ✅

Thank you so much for sharing! I hope to achieve this too. I have swapped out my old bagel/toast/sandwich breakfasts for oatmeal or overnight oats. Was this the only major change you made to tackle your cholesterol?

Funny story, today’s sandwich for lunch was NOT the plan. Our office manager cleaned my lunch and snacks out of the refrigerator! She does this periodically and I get that there were some things in there that needed to be tossed (not mine) but I had such a nice packed lunch and found it literally in the trash. After I got…

Posting for yesterday, I don’t really have a routine on the weekends. Fruit only from the office snacks ✅ Took the stairs ✅ Weighed my food ✅ In bed by 10pm ❌

@justanotherjen13 I looove cereal for dessert! FRIDAY Breakfast: overnight oats with chia seeds, oat milk (ran out of yogurt), and mixed berries Snack: draft latte Lunch: falafel wrap with lettuce, tomato, and tahini sauce, side of steamed broccoli with a little olive oil and salt Snack: cucumber with hummus, a recess…

So thrilled to have found this thread, Tami your journey is inspiring! I love hiking but have to be organized to get out there as I live in NYC and don’t have car. A few pics from a Connecticut hike last weekend. I really love hiking in this part of the world, just have to check carefully for ticks afterwards!

Fruit only from the office snacks ✅ Took the stairs ✅ Weighed my food ✅ In bed by 10pm ❌ And bonus: stuck to my plan for the day, did not freak out about dinner

Breakfast: overnight oats with chia seeds, greek yogurt, and mixed berries Snack: iced matcha Lunch: some leftover vegetable tagine, a boiled egg, slice of toasted sourdough (fridge odds and ends) Snack: banana Evening: dinner out at an Indian restaurant, served family style, I had a little rice, saag paneer, chaat,…

Hope you feel better soon @Athijade, sounds like a rough time. Breakfast: overnight oats with chia seeds, greek yogurt, and blueberries Snack: iced coffee, cucumber and carrots with hummus Lunch: salad of lettuce, cucumber, snap peas, pepitas, and hot smoked salmon, dressed with salt, aleppo pepper, and olive oil Snack:…

A good day today. I’m going to a networking dinner tomorrow night and already anxious about overeating. I’m going to pre-log the day, and the location of the dinner is actually a really nice bike ride from my apartment, so I will also cycle home for some extra movement. Feels good to have a plan! Fruit only from the office…

Thanks for the note @deniselebrun, hope your week is going well. I’m going to keep coming back to this thread while I sort myself out. I’ve been disoriented because I had a team retreat for work last week. (It was in a nice venue in the same neighborhood as our regular office, not a sleepaway kind of thing.) In terms of…

Breakfast: overnight oats with chia seeds, greek yogurt, and blueberries Snack: iced matcha Lunch: salad of lettuce, cucumber, snap peas, pepitas, and hot smoked salmon, dressed with salt, aleppo pepper, and olive oil Snack: a veggie empanada Evening: a small donut peach and a tim tam (a chocolate cookie) I’m thinking of…

Day two of work retreat, and I waited to have breakfast there today. Breakfast: yogurt, granola, and berries, coffee with a little milk Snack: dried raisins and apricots Lunch: a grilled vegetable and feta focaccia, lemon and ginger probiotic soda Snack: a chocolate chip cookie, Diet Coke Evening: carrots and cauliflower…

I’m on team retreat at work (which just means we go to a different office to talk about big picture stuff) so lots of catered food to navigate. Day one of three down! Breakfast: salad of lettuce, baby bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, pepitas, avocado, aleppo pepper, olive oil (prepped yesterday), two cups of tea Snack:…

Good to see you still checking in @ravengirl2014. It sounds like you know what works for you and what behaviors to look out for, that’s hard-earned knowledge. I am cheering you on, have a good week!

Breakfast: salad of lettuce, baby bell peppers, snap peas, carrots, pepitas, aleppo pepper, olive oil; sourdough toast with avocado and sliced tomato Snack: iced coffee Lunch: caught up with friends I haven’t seen in ages, so definitely was a little relaxed, cheese and spinach filo pie, grilled zucchini with lemon and pine…

It is useful to look at long term trends, thanks!

Well yikes, a four day weekend threw me WAY off. Not so much in terms of calories but definitely in terms of tracking and checking in. Well, I’m still here! @misssixtea I so identify: I do great when left to look after myself but eating socially or just in sync with others (I live just with my partner) is so much harder.…

I’m still here! Hanging on by my fingernails some days. Breakfast: so my favorite restaurant just started doing brunch and I had to check it out! Perfect tomato toast made with grilled sourdough, tomatoes, garlic, anchovies, and herbs, then half a serve of corn cakes with chili jam (brought home the rest, I wouldn’t…

@sgann1986 Well done for coming back and asking for help! I am also a repeat MFP-er and hoping to lost around 30lb. I love @MaggieGirl135's advice about...just starting. Log everything without setting a bunch of ruled and expectations for yourself. Then build slowly. I started (AGAIN) in June and I keep this regular thread…

So, I lost 3.3lb in June. Not bad! I'm definitely having ups and downs but coming back to this thread reminds me to keep going. It's a holiday weekend for me and I've been catching up on sleep. Gods, this is so important. When I have a good night sleep it's like I've been possessed by some kind of healthy spirit! Yesterday…

Wow @gentlygently I would love to see the coast in Wales, that sounds like a wonderful day! I'm intrigued by Welsh whisky too. Posting yesterday today, might check in again later. Breakfast: salad of lettuce, baby bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and pepitas, dressed with salt, aleppo pepper, and olive oil. Some sourdough…

@misssixtea Thank you for the kind note! I know I have read something like, the difference between people who reach their goal and people who don’t is that the ones who reach their goal keep going. I’m sure it could be put more eloquently but that is what I am trying to remember. One or two or three not-great days does not…
