[QUOTE=nottango;32390] "Yesterday started out great, but by the end of the day I started eating and couldn't stop. Disgusted with myself this morning. It's embarrassing to write this, but I am trying to learn from my mistakes. It's not hormonal, I had a typical day at work, and I got plenty of sleep the night before. I think what did me in was stopping by my sister's house after work. She keeps a LOT of junk around, and I helped myself to a few chips. It set off a feeling like I needed to keep eating and never felt "full".

I felt like "dropping out" but reading all the posts has motivated me to continue."


Nottango, I just noticed this post now. For some reason it escaped me earlier but I just wanted to say that I am really glad that the thread actually inspired you to continue and you don't have to be embarrassed around us.

Tomorrow is a fresh start. In the grand scheme of life, the splurge you had at your sister's house last night was just a tiny little detour. Next time you have to go over there, go with a plan or bring your own snacks. Show up with a bag of grapes or fruit salad or whatever is healthy that you really enjoy nibbling on and maybe even ask Sis not to bring the chips out.

Onwards and upwards! Or should I say downwards... the direction we all want the scale to go in.

I missed my 1st scheduled workout in MONTHS. I am trying to nurse an injury as quickly as possible, so I'll have to try to squeeze in 3 workouts before the week is up.

1) drink a gallon of water per day yes (128.9oz), yes 141.4oz
2) work out 3 days no, no
3) walk 10 miles 3.37mi, 0mi
4) floss 6 times 1,1
5) be at least 300 cals deficient per day, for 6 days yes -509, no -185
6) take in at least 145g of protein per day yes 168.5g, yes 145.1
7) go one day without bread (this will be hard) yes (WOW on day 1!)
8) drop atleast 1 pound (this morning I was 174.4) (don't know yet)

9) make a short update video for YouTube no
10) keep spammers under control yes, yes

help me out here. I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, last night I was originally over 700 cals deficient, so I ate a little more, to get it to 509 deficient. That was still higher than what I wanted so I tried to cut it closer today, b/c I really want to average 300+ cals per day, but I put no for today b/c even though I'm averaging that, I didn't hit it for THIS day. Should that be a no, or yes?
#7 I didn't answer no b/c I already hit my goal.
#8 & #9 I didn't put no again, b/c that's a one time this week deal, so I'll answer again if my answer changes.

Mike, I would count it as a yes. After all, your body averages it out over time as opposed to starting an arbitrary new day every 24 hours. Hope you get over your injury quickly.

1. Burn more cals than I eat by 250-300 (3 pesky pounds from holidays!). Yes-341, Yes-269
2. Drink 2-3 big blue bottles of water daily. Yes, Yes
3. Exercise six days. Yes, Yes
4. Keep carbs to 45%. Yes-45, Yes-44
5. 5 fruits and veggies daily. Yes-5, Yes-5
6. 25 grams of fiber daily. Yes-27.5, Yes-31.7

7. One organizational task in home office daily. Yes-big dent today, Yes
8. Get trim painted in at least one room. No-probably weekend

Looks like we've all done at least some things very well so far this week. Nottango, Darlean, Hope, and Rose, so glad you are hanging in here with us even if there have been recent times your heart wasn't in it. Sometimes you just gotta talk the talk till you feel like walking the walk again...and you all chose to do that. That's a win in my book .
