Annette - I hate time change also. I was sick with a headache yesterday - probably sinus and now I lose an hour today - lol.
I was above my calorie goal yesterday and made some bad food choices. I had cheese sticks last night at the lodge - I was hungry & tired and they only had the fryer turned on for food so I could not resist. Well - that was yesterday so I will make a nice dinner today and get some things ready for a great week. Hopefully tomorrow won't be to cruel on the scale. lol
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Daylight Savings is here (well, for most of us -- some places don't observe Daylight Savings). I set my clocks ahead late last night so I wouldn't face the "OMG I lost an hour!" feeling this morning . The worst part of Daylight Savings, for me, is that the morning is dark again. I like it when it's bright and sunny at 6am. Now it's still dark at 6. Boo.

My Goals for the Week (March 2 - March 8):
Knowing I was going to splurge, I had a lot of extra water and tea during the day, trying to convince myself that maybe the two things would cancel each other out . Anyway, I ate it slowly and deliberately, celebrating every mouthful. It was absolutely delicious and worth every calorie.
It's logged and now, I move on.

My Goals for the Week (March 2 - March 8):
- Calorie Cycling -- have at least 1 High day (A=Average Day, H=High Day): A, A, A, A, A, H (Finally! Yay!)
- Minimum 1500mL water/tea per day: 2445, 2445, 2917, 3035, 2648, 3462
- 7-day Rolling Average calories = 1200-1300: 1155, 1156, 1150, 1150, 1120, 1158
- Explore! Try something new or learn something new (nutrition-wise) at least 2 times:
- Monday: tried a Minneola.
- Tuesday: read an article on the difference between dietitians and nutritionists.
- Thursday: did a little research on TOPS so I could respond to Lisa's question.
- Friday: did a little research to compare soda prices vs sparkling water prices. Also looked up Runza, 'cause I'd never heard of it.

The time change worked well for me. Last night I was so tired from working on the farm that I went to bed before 10 pm. I still woke up with my 6:30 am alarm, which is now 7:30 am. That means I had an hour and a half to have breakfast before work. No problem. I am now well rested even though I worked again today.
Hope everyone else finds a way to deal with the change.
