Cheat day
I have a cheat day on Fridays. I try to stay in my calorie count unlike every other day when I try to say under a little bit. Also I take that day off from exercising. This works really good for me since it gives me a day to look forward and to work hard all the rest of the day. Does anyone else have these days?

Changes in eating
When I started the first of January I had problems staying under my 1350 calorie intake. I have lost about 4 lb and now have a problem meeting my 1350 calorie intake. I just don't feel as hungry.

Totally ruined my diet tonight
Had the worst week ever. They laid off people at my job and now this evening I had a fender bender. I went and had Buffalo Wild Wings and didn't pay attention to calories at all. I feel bad for blowing the hard work today and could really use some motivation to keep at the weight loss goal.

To much stress
I work a really stressful job. Also I am not always sure ill get 40 hours a week since I'm a temp and not full time yet which always leads to money concerns.

Striiv app
Anyone using the striiv app? I am confused about how it works since It doesn't give me calories back for the time I walk. It only gives me calories back after a certain point. Also when I add my own exercise it takes back any calories it did give me back ????
