Tonight I have plans to go out for dinner. I hate getting off my routine when things have been doing well. Maybe I'll try to cut back a little bit on breakfast and lunch and at least try to order the healthiest thing.
The last time I went out with this person we got Italian and that was BAD. I love the bread and butter and the portions where huge.
My rule tonight was no Italian. Hopefully we will go to a Thai place or Indian so I can at least get something relatively healthy.
I had to work late yesterday, so hubby took the kids out for a while. The kids came back with Wendy's and Hubby had Subway. He didn't call to ask if I wanted anything and they didn't offer me anything when they arrived. I think they're learning!
yesterday did not go well. I had to do some fasting bloodwork at work and was so focused on not eating before then plus not bringing my lunch because of a work lunch that I forgot to bring breakfast! So I ended up eating the snacks that were provided after the bloodwork - low fat but low protein and high carb. Then the lunch that I had as part of a meeting was specialty sandwiches that I didn't even really like and of course, already had mayo, etc. with no real way to avoid. And plus even though I ate it, because I didn't like it, it wasn't satisfying so I ate the chips too as I was hungry.
Bleargh. I haven't even bothered to try to calculate it all, I know it was high.
I guess I'll have to just keep counting to get 30 cumulative days OP rather than consecutive ones, I already had at least one other missed day, but I'm just going to keep going. 30 days out of 32 or 35 on plan is certainly a whole lot better than doing 10 days perfectly but then giving up if I have one off plan day, which is what I would have always done before.

On plan yesterday, on plan today. But boy am I looking forward to the weekend, when I will bump my calories up--according to plan! My body is just very tired due to the deficit. (I suspect I may have actually been a little over-ambitious with my deficit plan this month :/ )
still 100% on plan. what I promise is that, if I get on the scales tomorrow (it's been a Whole Week :O ) and there's no loss or a gain, I WILL still stay on plan and not jump into dietary oblivion!
Big jump overnight on the scale. Back up around 7 pounds from my very lowest. I went out last night for middle eastern and ate more than usual. Today I hope to be back on plan.
yesterday was ok but I'm working up to getting on the scale because I can tell by clothing I have not lost anything. The idea of taking a scale break was so that I could get far enough below 220 to feel comfortably in the teens and not have to keep fighting that particular psychological barrier but I have a suspicion it's backfired. So I think I'm going to keep working on my 30 days but go back to daily weigh ins and give myself that accountability and I'm going to just have to learn to deal with numbers that are significant to me like breaking (and staying below!) 220, and all the other milestones I have to look forward to.
Today is my short day at work. Biked in, hard ride with a headwind, but it's a beautiful day. In addition to being my short work day, today is also my BIG CALORIE DAY, woohoo! I'm actually really proud of myself for staying on plan over the low-calorie days these past two weeks, because it's very difficult for me, and there's a definite voice in my head that says, "Oh come on, fifty or a hundred extra calories won't kill your whole plan...you're -hungry-!" The big-calorie day is kind of a reward for sticking it out.
So, 100% on plan yesterday, will be 100% on plan today. Hope everyone else has an AWESOME Friday!
Yesterday was POP. 1765 calories in, 4041 calories burned, 2276 deficit. I am taking a day off of the huge calorie burn today since I have severe cramps and a major headache. So today POP for me will mean my normal 1650 calories in and 2650 burned. So far all is well.
I am still plugging along and was rather pleasantly surprised by my scale this morning...hope it wasn't a fluke!
Less than 5 pounds to goal!!!
I going on a spa yoga retreat with some girl friends tomorrow so I know that I will be off plan then but we are also doing 2 two hour yoga sessions so it won't be all gluttony! I SO need this time away...I have been counting the hours since mid-week.
Today I was almost totally on plan. I did add butter to the pasta that I made tonight (but just 2 T TOTAL for the five of us) and I had an extra 1/2 cup of the pasta but that all told only put me at 1600 calories so I am good to go... of course those old feelings of "well you ALREADY ate more than you SHOULD HAVE you might as well just eat what you want!" cropped up and I SQUASHED THOSE BUGGERS DOWN!!!!
Tomorrow night is my daughters make your own pizza/pj movie party. I have planned to have a cup of really good idea cream. I can handle the sugars in ice cream more than I can control the candy/cupcake beast.
I think they're learning! 
I'm still holding on. I just with the scales wood reward my good behavior. Stupid piece of scrap metal!
