Green yesterday. I forgot that we had a fundraiser for one of my kid's activities last night, so we bought pizza for dinner to benefit the chorus. Today - Breakfast - life cereal, tea, chicken broth (that sounds weird, but I felt parched and a bit under the weather) Mid-morning event - coffee, water...

Last night's dinner was Rod Dee takeout (silver noodles, crispy chicken). It was red, but just barely. I had a tiny bit of seconds. I need to keep the serving dishes off the table. I did pretty well, and I think today I can keep it to one plate. Today - Breakfast - leftover silver noodles. Lunch - I...

Ok, I had not tracked since December 18, so I just did a best guess reconstruction in HabitCal. Back to real tracking today. I took a lot of yellow days, between actual holidays, the days I hosted parties, and more. I did do mostly green last week, with a Thursday fail (seconds and snack), as I reca...

Did a workout on Saturday and this morning at 6:30. I feel both energized but also sleepy. I know that's contradictory. I made bread pudding last night. It was okay. My kid was not a fan. I didn't bake otherwise, because our neighbors dropped off cookies, and that was the perfect amount of sweets. I...

Thank you for the validation, eshano. I don't want to burn out. I like this gym because it's social and supportive. I want to keep building good habits of showing up there. I did a workout this morning at 6:30. Last night, I walked to get the Indian takeout, snatching a small victory from the jaws o...

your food sounds good! Hope the workout went well! I am trying to work in more vegetarian meals. My rice and beans were tasty. Dried beans cooked in the crockpot are so much more yummy than canned beans (which are fine, but meh). I added sautéed onions and celery, sweet red peppper spice, a bit of...

I love your concept of doing kindnesses for yourself. I may have to steal that. Have you done any Youtube videos for workouts?

Green yesterday. 169.5 today. Reclaiming my ability to say: * no thanks, * not now, * maybe later, * some other time, and * what I really want is sleep, not food! We had chicken, kale, and rice for dinner, with 1/2 grapefruit on my plate for my "dessert". I am cooking the beans in the crockpot today...

I also think a bratty part of myself thinks I either should be crushing my workouts (I am!) or eating right (whoops), not both. I worked out with the ...

169# today I did make chicken soup and ate it a lot this weekend. We had a party last night for the first night of Hannukah, and I ate a lot of sweets. We celebrate all the nights, but in a lower key way after our party, so I will not designate them as S days. This weekend, I also drank a fair amoun...

I've been tempted to do this, but haven't yet made that modification. I do have a little glass of white wine on many Friday nights and a yummy meal, but no seconds or sweets. I have had many Fridays where I failed, however. Sometimes the wine loosens my inhibitions just enough to eat. I don't drink ...

My friend taught me the phrase "say what you mean, but don't say it mean." It is a challenge for me to say things that feel confrontational - my personality is conflict-avoidant - so I do repeat that to myself sometimes.

I did not have the energy to make biscuits last night for dinner, but I did roast a sugar pumpkin while the meat was roasting. So dinner was chicken, pumpkin, and leftover string beans with an apple.

Super Slow is a weight protocol developed by Ken Hutchins in the 1980's during a Nautilus funded study. Basically, you take approximately 50% of your max weight in an exercise and lift it 10 seconds up, 10 seconds down. You increase the weight when you can move it for a positive rep up to 120 to 16...

Good strategy for feeding kid while boyfriend away! I wonder if you are staying up late because you are needing more alone time?
