Guys, guess who went grocery shopping for the next week AND finally bought a food scale?!?! Answer: THIS KID!
Though food is so expensive now! I can understand why people would opt for ramen! Jesuschristo!
Oh, And this is what I wore for my fraternity's halloween party:

I would just like to give a shout out to 6 inch heels every where for making me a reasonable height and bangin' calves.
Funny story from last night: One of my frat bros realized that he sees me in heels 95% of the time, and so just assumed that I was naturally almost as tall as him. Hahaha, then I showed him that they were 6 inches and he was like "wtf, mate?!"

Main80 I wouldn’t weigh my food if we had guests or anything but it was just him and I and after 23 years I figure he can handle my quirks.
Rubypeanut I think your cookies sound good can you share the recipe? How many calories are in them? I struggle with breakfast it’s not my favourite meal I usually just have a protein shake and a piece of fruit but a cookie that sounds kind of tempting.
Mike Better job on the fruit and veg, did you squeeze in the other one or just eat a pb sandwich...if you added a banana to every sandwich you would nail your fruit goals.
Mhibdon Enjoy your food scale. I hope you had fun at your party you do look tall so I second the shout out to heels although being old 3.5” heels are the norm for me now, still very helpful when your 5’2”.
I hope everyone else posts their Halloween costume pics it would be fun to see them it sure sounds like you all put allot of work into them.
So I only spent half a day being a couch potato then did a ton of chores and some exercises so it was better than I expected.
Have a great night.
Goals
Exercise 5 days: M=Walk, T=Treadmill, W=Treadmill, T=Hike, F=Walk, S=N
Squats 5 days: M=Y, T=Y, W=Y, T=Y, F=Y, S=Y
Ab work 5 days: M=Half, T=Y, W=Y, T=Y, F=Y, S=Y
Calories less than 1400: M=1191, T=1175, W= 1319, T=1229, F=1663, S=1252
Calorie deficit of 5000 for week: M= -955, T= -977, W= -788, T= -1037, F= -488, S=-854= (-5099)
Clean something (not daily chores) everyday: M=N, T=Y, W=Y, T=Y, F=Y, S=Y

Home from the party, will catch up tomorrow. I was a good girl with food but not so much with drinks 
All in all, though, I doubt I exceeded what I burned today, so at worst, I just lost a day of deficit. Will try to Google what I drank and figure it up tomorrow.
Funny thing was a lot of the ladies there do Zumba, so for a while we had that going on in the basement, so I got a bit of exercise in. Although my coordination wasn't the best, it was a lot of fun!

I LOVE those "cinnamon thingys"! In my husband's family (old country French/Italian) the older women call them something in French, which I can't pronounce. Loosely translated, it means "chicken a$$es"... I know...I don't get it either. LOL Whatever they're called, they're good!

We always called them cinnamon whirls. I did sneak a couple when I got home last night, but compared to all the chocolate and pastry goods at the party, it was a small trade.
Been trying to figure out how to log my party drinks; I think I'll pass. I really have no idea how much of each I drank; everything was mixed and three of the four () were over lots of ice and not all the way full or finished. I have not seen that many different kinds of alcohol in one party since college! I'm not much of a drinker so have little experience with the calculating. Feeling okay this morning except everything from my hips down aches like crazy. I think it was the zumba in heels on a concrete floor; I didn't kick off the shoes till well into it 
. The worst part is, I have a tennis match at 2 PM and a ton of other stuff to do today besides!

So much to read, so much to learn. You seem like a great bunch. Still getting used to how this forum stuff works. All of your stats are so encouraging.
It's Sunday now and I am a week behind all of you. The chicken slop doesn't sound very appetizing hahaha.
It looks like a nice day, so I think I'll go out for a bicycle ride.
I've had a couple of bad nights, home alone and bored with too much crap in the cupboard. Glad hub is home tonight and it's football Sunday.
I have a little motorcycle that I love (Honda Rebel). It's now away for the season. We had frost this morning. Wishing you all a great day!
