Vacation! While I'm not thrilled with lots of red, I am pleased that the tracking makes my failure more evident and harder to ignore.

5/24/2016 - S-DAY
My compliance hasn't been great lately, so I limited my indulgences reserved to the special occasion celebration. It felt good to be in charge and not snack despite people around me snacking.

5/23/2016 - FAIL

Visiting friends while on vacation, so I ate some ice cream after dinner. I also snacked and didn't realize I was doing so. Lesson learned: mindfulness is a habit to be cultivated still.

5/20/2016 - FAIL In the interest of being honest, I think it's good to admit this was a failure. There were a few things: I ate a few bites of some homemade bread that someone brought to work in order to be polite. And at lunch, I broke t the "one plate" rule by eating a small side of pretzels that ...

Isn't it wonderful what habit can help us do? I was at a funeral yesterday and there was a lunch afterwards. There were cookies there and everyone was grabbing handfuls and going back for seconds. I realized that it took very little willpower to say no. And nobody cared! (More for them :D ) Congrat...

5/11/2016 - SUCCESS Of note: Went to lunch with friends and did not devour the basket of chips. Instead, I put a reasonable amount on my plate and ate only those. I was also very tempted to snack in the afternoon and grabbed some pretzels from the kitchen. I thought about wanting to have a successfu...

5/10/2016 - S-DAY

My stomach had been feeling off for a few days, so I took an S-Day to calm it down with some plain food after dinner. This helped some, and I woke up feeling better.

5/9/2016 - SUCCESS

Of note: There were two types of cookies in the office today, but I did not eat them.

5/8/2016 - S-DAY

Went to bed feeling quite full after eating the reserved half of Saturday's cake slice. Lesson learned: S-Day treats do not have to be huge.

5/7/2016 - S-DAY

Of note: Did not go overboard all day but still felt quite full after dinner (something to work on). Also, bought a slice of cake to enjoy and cut it in half because it was large.

5/6/2016 - SUCCESS

Of note: There were doughnuts and cake in the office today, and I ate neither.

(Checking in the next day to ensure adherence to rules until bedtime)
