A New Day, Another Try
Yesterday was crazy. We were supposed to go on a short walk and have a picnic with some friends. To make a LONG story short we ended up walking from 10:45 until 5 pm. We did have a few short breaks- as we had kids with us- getting lost in England is prettier than getting lost in North Carolina, but still stinks! :)
I had a smoothie for breakfast. For lunch I had a flatbread veggie wrap and fruit. When we got home things went downhill. I was tired and starving. I had cereal for dinner (too much of course) and lots of M&M's. I nibbled on things for the rest of the evening. sigh....
Today I am going to a Legs, Bums and Tums class. I plan to write my foods down again. Keem mentioned My Fitness Pal- I am going to check it out and consider using it as my tool for food journaling.
It feels good to be back here! I feel so less alone!

wow that is a long walk! I probabaly would have died before finding the way back home :D
I started to journal my food again as well. it's somuch easier when you write down what you're eating but it's also so easy to not journal your food .... a new day- a new challenge! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Thanks Melanie! It is good to hear from you. I have missed you and our sharing the same time zone! :) You are right! We can do this. I think my confidence was shaken... I am getting it back. One day at a time. I am stronger than food!!!

Hi Jill! I just saw that your post was right under mine so had to say hello! I've been almost completely absent the last week and a half! Sorry about getting so lost but it sounds like great exercise! 15 miles is a LOT! I really want/need to get on this weight loss journey......sososososo badly......But I do have confidence it will happen just as you will get back on track. You've only been gone for a few months. Still need to cut yourself slack. Enjoy yourself. Continue to settle in and make new friends. I know you are strong and determined! :)

WOW! That is a long walk...my feet probably would have fallen right off!!! I'm sure you burned major calories and that's why you were snacky! I use MyFitnessPal and I like it for the most part.
You can do this!

Please do join MFP- I've been MIA from MFP for awhile. It would be cool if you, me, Keem, and Nubia (and anyone else from BTL who may be on it) start checking in on each other there. I really NEED to log my calories, I know that the only reason I'm avoiding it is because I don't WANT to be accountable for how I'm eating. Cuz the details ain't pretty. Which, is the whole reason it works so well to log- it's a behavior modification tool!

OMG that is some walk you did! No wonder you had unbelievable hunger! Maybe I need to check out My Fitness Pal.

Seriously, that's a race walk right there. You probably burned more calories than you ate, you were hungry because your body was hungry. MyFitnessPal is awesome. You can download it to your phone, ipad, and all the crazy stuff I carry around. It's super easy to use.

@Dee- I like the idea of us checking in on each other. We will be like little angels looking over the others shoulders........
