| Kate here, I’m feeling kind of low today with some work stress. I’m having a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and pecans. So I’m going to try to stay on track |

| Hi guys - Alexandra here. I was pretty sick at the end of last week and ate a bunch of garbage. I felt sorry for myself and knew it was dumb even while I was doing it. I’m not 100 percent but a lot better and I’m going to try to stay under 25 g sugar and no chips today to get back on track. Bathing suit in just a few months and I’d like to feel confident… |

| Hey Alexandra, I’m sorry you were feeling sick. Glad you are better. I’ve had a pretty terrible last couple of, what, weeks? I’m trying again today. So far I’ve had fruit and nuts and milk and a salad. No added sugar. I’m going out to dinner for a work event but do not plan to get anything more than an entrée, probably fish. Just starting to feel like I can’t do this and it stinks. But all I can do is keep trying. |

| Good day yesterday and met all my goals. No snacking and low added sugar. I wanted to get off track but told myself no and stuck to it. Here’s to one day becoming two! -Kate |

I did pretty well too. Ate a few chocolate chips at the end of the day with my post walk peanut butter crackers (so good but not necessary!) and I regret it now even though it wasn’t a lot. Trying not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I need a set super healthy evening snack for the days I exercise in the evening (we eat dinner really early with the kids so I do need *something* or I have trouble sleeping).
Good to reflect on it. Alexandra |

I have no idea how I am doing. My period and the wind up to the period knocked me down this weekend/monday. And I ate the chocolate chips. But no other sugar. So maybe OK?

Well it’s been a tough week. Again. One of my kids got some bad medical news. They are going to be ok but it’s going to be a lot. I’m just a mess. Trying to take care of myself but honestly just have very little mental space for anything. I hope you guys are doing well.

Nope not doing well here. Ugh! Who knew this would be so hard?
Going to try again to maintain some consistency starting today. So angry at myself. Kate |

Great job Kate. I’m glad you are back and letting us know how you are doing. I hope you are taking good care of yourself. I’m trying to find time for exercise and a couple other healthy coping activities that leave me feeling better rather than worse. I think I’ve done pretty well the past couple days, but I went out for breakfast with my kids yesterday and even though I mostly had eggs I had bites of pancakes and pastries so not sure if I was under 25 for the day. Not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good though. Another difficult medical day today; will try to be nice to myself but also cope healthily. Alexandra |

Alexandra - I’m sorry for whatever you are going through. Is there a path forward for your family with a good outcome? I hope so.
Grueling college tour for the past week. More failures upon failures. I am failing. Got to try again. What choice do I have? |

New to this chain. Did you find a set evening snack? Once I got going on better eating and regular walking (4 or 5 nights a week with neighbors), I landed on vanilla greek yogurt with chopped up frozen cherries and a sprinkling of granola. |

Dark chocolate chips?? Dark chocolate is a great MUFA and a perfectly fine treat. |
