6 lbs is an excellent 1st week!!! IMO it's good that you tracked yesterday even though you knew it wasn't going to be a great day. We ALL have days like that but I believe information is POWER. Being aware of what we're eating - and when - and why - is the key to making lifelong changes. At least for me, tracking really makes me stop to think about what I'm going to eat and how healthy it is for me.

Yesterday for me was so-so. I was fairly active though so still had a calorie deficit.

I was re-reading a post this morning that really stuck in my head. The one about HALT. I've improved my thinking about what I eat when I'm Hungry, Angry, Lonely. Not perfect but much improved.

Tired is the one I really battle. When I'm tired, I just randomly seem to eat things that are comfort foods for me. It isn't even a conscious choice. I don't think about it. And being tired, my brain just isn't processing. Not quite sure how I'm going to attack this one. Probably a matter of not having the tempting comfort things around. Being stubborn though, I don't want to take that approach. I want to figure out a way to conquer this!

Reboot.. I understand...why try not setting goals..just eat from stomach hunger..write no matter how high or low the numbers are..stay healthy!! :) hugs.

Today my numbers are very high...but I am tracking..Have to. Our weather is rainy...very bad food choices...need to learn always bumpy on this path. I am not giving up!!!

Will post my numbers later..

Liliann, the good news is that today is a brand new day! And I say that for all of us ;-)

Thursday for me was not great - but not hideous

1706 Calories

I'd have considered 1706 calories as fairly OK if I had moved much. But according to my fitbit, I burned 1705 calories yesterday. Another low energy day.

Liliann, thanks for your suggestion. I do generally eat from stomach hunger and I'm really good about recording. I haven't missed a day in a couple years. Even when I'm eating from being tired, I jot down what I've eaten and record it. The biggest problem is that I'm not really thinking about what I'm eating. Kathy made a comment on the HALT thread that I think may help a lot!

On to a successful day for us all!

Reboot.. not bad at all...seriously...you are doing great!! Keep it going!! Tracking system is good!! :)

Being totally honest here, the biggest problem the past week or so has been a pecan pie in the house. Last nite was the last of it. I generally allow myself a treat of some kind in the evening, but the calories and carbs in the pecan pie are just thru the roof! It's one of hubby's favorites though so I found one a week or so after his birthday. I think next year, I'll find a bakery, buy him a slice and that will be that!

Saturday

We are doing great!! Keep it up!! :)

Way to go with the CCing consistancy Lillian! You've done so great in tracking!! Today almost got away from me and I haven't even posted yesterday ;-)

I've been going over my goal almost every day - but I'm staying aware of what I'm eating by tracking. Mindless eating has always been a big problem for me for whatever reason. Particularly sweets.

Time for a mindset reset here. Being aware and planning the healthy stuff ;-)

Great job ladies!!! Keep it up!!!
Saturday was holiday feast & family event #1.... all bleeping day and night!!!
Only 4 more holiday feast & family days left til I'm all back on track every single day!!!
Stay strong!

I wish you the very best darling!
