You're right, Alpha Laura, cereal and beans are much better choices than late-night ice cream AND a better choice than denying yourself anything at all and possibly setting yourself up for a binge the next day!
I love how you jumped right back into action (and great eats) after having a slip while away, Ali!
I notice how pretty much everyone manages to incorporate extras (or treats) into their plans. So many people come into this thinking a "diet" doesn't allow for any chocolate, cream in coffee, etc. That's what we're all doing differently, we're making a lifestyle change that's long term and not a quick-fix diet. I can't imagine trying to live the rest of my life denying myself a little chocolate now and then! Its nice to actually SEE how its working for everyone!

Too Fat Fish pointed me here and it looks like a great place to post. Thanks Too Fat Fish. I just joined 3FC this month and really like the people and support here.
I am doing a 2000-2500 calorie a day range with an optional spurge meal a week. I usually reserve a spurge meal for a date or party. It doesn't mean I go crazy but that if it takes me over my count I am still OP.
My exercise goal is 45-60 minutes 5-6 days a week. I am currently at 45- 60 minutes 3-4 days a week.
Water gaol is 8 glasses a day. I have periods where this is easy and times when I find it challenging.
I currently log my water, exercise and food in a fit day journal. Is it OK to just do the totals here?
Here's to journaling and getting off the bottom rung of the Points Challange!
Welcome, Denise! Recording your Fitday totals is just fine, but if you have a special recipe or meal that you can recommend, please give us the healthy and tasty details.
I'm usually a little lenient on Birthdays, Venus, so enjoy your tacos (and a little cake, if you wish) but make sure you get right back on track tomorrow!
Today turned into an off plan day for me (although I probably didn't even get enough Weight Watchers "points"). I didn't eat my regular 5-6 small meals because we woke up late after a very late Friday night, house painted all afternoon and had a late dinner. I also deviated from plan by snacking after 9 pm.

Tim Horton's Sundried tomato bagel with light vegetable cream cheese Afternoon
1-1/2 litre bottle of Dasani lemon flavoured water Dinner (at Little Tokyo Restaurant)
