I think all of us challengers got off to a good start on the first day. There were some slips -- like my taking an unplanned bite of DS's mint chocolate cookie (totally worth it!) -- but mostly we stuck to our plans.

For Day Two, let's think about what it will take to make sure every day of the challenge (and beyond) is a "good day." In my case, I'm learning that I need to stay busy because boredom and loneliness are huge triggers for me. I also need to recognize when bad habits are forming before they become issues.

Day 2 was not just bad, it was super bad. Was asked to help fold, tape and sort newsletters for one of my volunteer organizations through the lunch hour and they provided treats. Ah well. Today is another day.

I did super well with eating slowly yesterday. I was the last one done for all my meals

E/B/L/S were all on plan.

Dinner ended up being sushi and I did cave and had a beer which will cancel my alcohol on Saturday night.

Better day than yesterday. I ate *mostly* everything while sitting. I also stuck to my food plan.

I need to do a better job of planning my afternoon activities so that my dinner gets eaten no later than 6-6:30 p.m. (see post re bad planning in day 1 thread).

P.S. The scale showed the lowest bodyfat this morning than I think I've seen all year. Must have been all that watermelon! LOL

I forgot to mention in yesterday's thread that I did much better slowing down my eating pace yesterday. I'm challenging myself to not be the first one done at meal time today.

Plan for today:

E: 1 hour of cardio combo
B: whole grain eng. muffin/lite cream cheese
L: fish wrap and a field green salad (dressing on the side)
S: ff yogurt and fruit
D: out at a pre-season football game. I have no idea what the food options will be as we're in the club. I'm going to look for either a veggie wrap or salad of some kind and no beer/alcohol of any kind tonight.
