Hi all. I went overboard on calories yesterday. I did more walking than usually and my hunger came back with a vengeance. Today I will have to keep it in check. It's good to see so many people on the board again but we are still missing Mern and Terry. Have a good week end and a good weigh in on Monday.

I had a good day today both food wise and exercise. This evening I am drinking water with lemon and no snacking. What beautiful weather we had today.

Libby: Sounds like things are coming back together!

My Strategy for the Week (April 27 - May 3):

• 7-day Rolling Average calories = 1400-1450: 1343, 1220, 1310, 1446, 1472, 1442
• 7-day Rolling Average water/tea, minimum 2500mL (10+ 8oz glasses): 2904, 3127, 3195, 3052, 3119, 2913
• 7-day Rolling Average sodium = 1000-1400: 1570, 1159, 1194, 1193, 1172, 1148
• 7-day Rolling Average sat fat = under 18g: 18, 16, 17, 20, 20, 20 <--- At least I'm consistent
• Macro -- 7-day Rolling Average Fats = 50-60g: 61, 55, 58, 65, 66, 64
• Macro -- 7-day Rolling Average Carbs = 125-135g: 106, 100, 117, 124, 130, 137 <--- from one extreme to the other
• Macro -- 7-day Rolling Average Protein = 100-110: 100, 91, 93, 104, 104, 94
• Macro -- 7-day Rolling Average Fiber = 35-45g: 12, 14, 18, 22, 26, 24
• Explore! Try something new or do some nutrition-related research at least 2 times:
  • Monday: Started incorporating macros
  • Tuesday: Revised macros so they're more realistic for me
  • Tuesday: Did some reading on what leads people to "overeat" (using the definition "eat more than one burns")
  • Wednesday: So, about that Protein Powder...
  • Thursday: Wait, what? Protein powder isn't JUST for shakes (I'm so not a shakes fan)? You can actually COOK with it? I'm listening...

Had an odd day today -- a few too many carbs, not enough protein, but still kept the overall calorie total within the desired range. I was on the road, so I drank very little. Trying to make up for it now, but I'll probably only get in half my usual daily consumption. After all, I don't want to have to sleep in the bathroom!

Hope you all had a fine day!

I feel so sorry for Sunday. Week after week, she gets so little M&A love...

Another week done. How'd we all do? Anybody? Anybody...?

Epixi, you might not be hitting all your ranges exactly, but you're doing super well. You should be proud of yourself!

I've had a few missteps this weekend, but I haven't gone completely off the deep end. I don't know what happened to my determination and drive though. I just feel "meh" about the whole thing.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!!!
