Phew! . . .the watermelon man has been explained! I feel better!
My day was not as good as I would have liked it.
I ate a little more than I should have.
I am now going to bed, as I am tired. And what did Kris tell me??? If I’m tired? Go to bed!
Besides, I have a date with my kettlebells in the morning before work.

I am starting now and not waiting for the morning. One of my big challenge times for eating is in the middle of the night. I get up and eat. The quantity is not so much anymore, but the behavior is there. I thought I had it licked for awhile and now there is a lot of stress and emotional stuff going on so I am back into the food.
Thanks for the challenge and I will let you know how I do tomorrow.
I had a challenge today ~ went to visit my brother & his wife and we usually go out to dinner afterwards. (after we munch on all poor choice food .......) I was able to have some pop corn .... and then passed on going out to dinner and went window shopping instead. That was a HUGE success for me.
I listened to the MTM daily & fitness boosts in the car on the way to and from there, so it helped. Good stuff!
Dinner (albeit late) was controlled. I am not having any more before bed.
Sounds like you handled your evening in an awesome manner. Good for you.
I ate dinner late tonight. It was almost 10:00 before we were finished. I kept it light. A small bowl of soup, dinner roll and a couple carrot sticks. No more for me either until breakfast.
Yesterday was a success! I had Bunco here, and this is always a struggle. Its potluck, and all the women bring such wonderful food. I didn’t realize really how well I did until I was thinking about this challenge this morning. There’s even a piece of white chocolate cake in my fridge that I’m not touching. I love white chocolate, but didn’t have room for any last night, so the lady who brought it left me a piece. I promised it to my daughters to split after school today.
Kudos to you Bree for doing so well at Bunco!!! Isn’t that just the greatest feeling????
(Now ... please be careful. . . My usual MO is to do great at a function/eating event/ whatever and then feel so great that the next day ... in the aftermath of the “attagirl” decide to reward myself with food. Go figure! is that warped thinking or what!!!!)
I don’t care for white chocolate, so having that in the fridge wouldn’t tempt me. If it was something I liked though, I don’t think I’m at a point in life/program that I could have it there. Just not strong enough right now.
My tactics right now are to keep things OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! Only good choices. And think, think, think before eating. Sounds easy to do!?!?! (in theory!)

I’ve got to give all of you huge kudos for doing this challenge. I’ve never been a huge emotional eater, just an over-eater. And Cleda, you are right. Keeping the junk out of the house helps a lot, especially when you’re starting out. Good luck, y’all.
Bunco is a dice game played by large groups. We break off into as many sets of 4 as possible, and roll to see who can get the most of whatever number we’re on. A “bunco” is rolling all 3 dice the target number. It’s mindless fun, and add good food, wine, and friends, it’s a blast!
Reezer: I have to ask you --- cuz this is actually one eating behavior I don’t have. (and I have just about all of the others from emotional to binge to mindless .....) Do you get up out of bed to go eat? Is it because you are hungry or just thinking about it?
I’m happy for you that knowing you were going to check in here helped you through it.

PS ... I"ve never played Bunco. I’ve only seen the game and know my SIL plays in her neighborhood!!!
Sorry I didn’t post here yesterday - it was an ok day food wise. I’m really bad about packing lunches and often just grab a sandwich from the cafe. I usually have fruit or a yogout and I have some snacks stashed in my desk to get me through most days. I got my workout in a bit earlier than I thought I would and didn’t have my shake prepared for after so I was famished when I got home. Had dinner and was still feeling hungry so I had a cliff bar and then drank lots of water. That satisified me for a bit but was starting to feel like I could use a bit more before bed (usually just a glass of soy milk), but I couldn’t have anything because this morning I had that dreaded apointment with my doctor for my yearly physical and had to be fasting for the blood work. (Dreaded because of what is involved for women - not because I was expecting any bad news. It was all good news - because I am exercising there have been some important improvements beyond just my weight loss.)
Today I am feeling quit low on energy because I didn’t get to eat until after 11 am - no morning fuel in my sysetm. It is good I can’t really workout today (no heavy lifting anyway), because I doubt I’d be very productive. Have to watch that I don’t eat too much this evening because I haven’t had enough during the day.
Hey Catherine! Glad you posted. I wondered where you were yesterday.
Glad to hear that you doctors appt. went well!
Very perceptive that you are paying attention to not eating too much tonight since you didn’t eat enough during the day!!!!
Hi everyone. Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple days. I have done well up until today so I wanted to make sure I own up to it. I have been under a lot of stress and have had a lot of big changes in my life lately. Today I got some bad news right before lunch. I was upset and had to run some errands on my lunch hour so I went to a drive through. And like the addict that I am, I got a big cheese burger and fries instead of ordering off of the healthy side of the menu. Then I spent the afternoon beating myself up about it. I’m back on track now but what a screw up!
Looking back I can see where I reacted to a bad situation in the wrong way but at the moment I was not thinking rationally. I remember how I felt at the time so I will be watching out for that feeling in the future then try to do something more positive to make myself feel better.
