Walked, CREDIT moi, but not the full cardio walk that's my plan. Seems that I tapered off when I wasn't feeling well and have been slow to build back up. It's easy to fall off the wagon when you do it slowly for a good reason.
onebyone LOL at "Holy sabotaging thought Batman!" It's really ingrained when you're dreaming about staying on plan. Hope quantity glazing went better than TEDIOUS.
CeeJay - Congrats on those 10 pounds gone forever. Kudos for packing your food in advance for your business trip.
Cheryl (GosfordGirl) Yay for the last class taught for the semester. I can't remember, do you have the summer off? (Just remembered that June-July-August isn't your summer; when do Aussie kids have summer vacation?) Kudos for a neat set of credits for the day. [We get Hass Avocados; I've never heard of Shepard.]
nationalparker I do like the cover of The Self-Compassion Diet, but I've never heard of it. LOL at the confusion with the home health care aide. Glad that you and your dad were able to laugh about it. Kudos for "No crummy snacks for me today." Have a safe flight home.
Rosebud170 Drooling over "a quinoa and kale blend with a swish chard, kale, broccoli" - a mighty fine combo to be described as "all Costco items."
Tricia (AZtricia) - Kudos for accepting your body's rate of losing. And another Kudos for the clear determination "I'm not even tempted to give up even when I stumble." [Thanks for the link to choosing a ripe avocado. Helps me see that one of my problems is that I want to buy several on Saturday to eat during the week. They ripen at the same time. For what I want them to be, I'd need to shop daily. That's not likely.]
deelee10 - Yep, Kudos for leaving half of your food at a restaurant - especially since you were busy talking with friends which can make it more difficult. Ouch for having to develop a tough skin for the intrusive comments from your friend - some people don't seem to be able to think out from under their own discomfort. (LOL that I mistakenly calculated your join date as further back.)

day 17 End Overeating
Overload Your Plate - and Don't Eat It All
When you've finished eating just the food you're supposed to eat, clear your plate. Throw out the extra food or save it for another meal. If it was easy to do this task, you might never need to repeat it. On the other hand, if you found it difficult to resist eating the extra food, don't despair. Give yourself credit for trying and see what you can learn from the experience. Then repeat the exercise until it gets easy.
