Hey everyone!
Yesterday was "errand day". My BF and I have our weekend on Sunday and Monday and Monday always ends up the day we do all the errands we need to get done. We also treated ourselves to a Snarf's sandwich, a local chain that makes delicious sandwiches. I got a 7 inch meatball sub with no cheese...so delicious. We didn't get a sugary drink and I stuck to water which I was happy about. I also declined dinner for the evening, which I'm glad I did because it was a double burger and fries! I started out well by eating baby carrots and hummus but ended up nibbling on a couple of spare fries and helped the BF finish a cheesecake. Didn't need it, wasn't that hungry, just being stupid. This is why I'm fat, people!
Despite the hiccup at the end of the day I'm down from 166 lbs to 165.2 lbs this morning, so I'm happy about that!
We watched The Tale of Princess Kaguya, a beautiful Ghibli film that I'd highly recommend to anyone who has the patience to watch animation that isn't specifically for children. Don't get me wrong, I love a good kids film, but Kaguya very much felt like a film for adults. The animation is truly breathtaking too.
I also got back to my Japanese study for the first time in a while. I left Japan feeling embarrassed that I didn't learn the language, so I'm determined to remedy that so when I return I can speak the lingo. The BF is conversationally fluent so he's been helping me, it's nice having someone around to help! It's also part of my plan to try and practice a hobby at least once a day to make me a better person. I don't want to be a person who just works and watches TV.
I have a deadline for Friday afternoon, I'm confident that if I put the hours in I'll be absolutely fine. I'm hoping I can get the project finished way before Friday so I can take the time to focus on myself. Is anyone a Sailor Moon fan?
I just got this t-shirt to workout in, I love that it's nerdy but could still just be another t-shirt design! The website has loads of other cool t-shirts too. I'm waiting to see if their x-large will fit me, I'm hoping it does! If not, free returns, woohoo!
Feel free to disregard the following lists, I'm posting this for my own benefit more than anything!
Good habits practiced yesterday:- Drank all the water I needed to
- Refrained from getting soda/extras with sandwich
- Declined dinner to keep in calorie range
- Practiced mindful eating - ate slowly, paused between bites
Bad habits performed yesterday:- Went over calorie limit when I didn't need to by...
- Eating fries
- Helping BF finish cheesecake
Things I need to work on:- Keeping within calorie limit - need to resist temptation foods!
- Thinking before I eat: "Am I really hungry or just craving?", "Do I NEED to eat this?", "Will this make me healthy?"
- Continuing to drink lots of water
- Continuing to practice eating slowly and listening to my body

Bobbo - 3FC have an automatic curse word censor, which personally I don't think is necessary since we're all adults here but hey ho! Still, I wouldn't consider He-double toothpicks to be a curse word! Glad you find the challenge motivating, I'm happy that these challenges help so many people.
wannabehealthy - Aah, I see! Nothing worse than needing the toilet out and about and there's no where in sight!
Koshinogi - Sorry for the confusion - just so you know whenever I change the rules I always update the first post of the thread. Pancake daaay! My mum would make the best pancakes, she'd just churn them out like a factory and since she doesn't like them she'd happily make them until we were all stuffed. Makes me a little home sick!
Mara - Congrats on moving in with your fiance!
magistra - You're very welcome! Enjoy "fat Tuesday"!!
