suzyQlou Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Two days down, and I’m feeling pretty smug. I have survived my haunting gours. Tonight is the local fair, so I will enjoy a reasonable amount of funnel cake. Hopefully it will be pumpkin funnel cake! I was going to post some haunting gifs, but this morning’s first frost was so beautiful I thought I would share a garden photo instead. Happy weekend! 4 Quote suzyQlou * Ranger Old Challenges: #1(2015) * #2 * #3(push ups) * #4 * #5(food) * #6 * #7(2016)* #8(nerdiversary) * #9 * 10(animal) * Battle Log * 11(2017) * 12(garden) * 13 * 14(biking) * 15 * 16 * 17 * 18 * 19(2018) * 20(2019) * 21 Link to comment

Suzaqu Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hello! I was on a many-month break as well (okay fine, more like year-long)! Glad to see my Suzy sister is back as well! I love the idea of your challenge and may have to steal it for next time. There are definitely a few hours that are my downfall each dayl 2 Quote Current Challenge 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to comment

But alas, portion size is the last of my worries at dinner time. Too much pizza made me feel gross. But I passed up on two tempting whoopie pies during my witching hours - one was even pumpkin flavored! So I walk away with a mini victory. It could have been worse. 1 Quote suzyQlou * Ranger Old Challenges: #1(2015) * #2 * #3(push ups) * #4 * #5(food) * #6 * #7(2016)* #8(nerdiversary) * #9 * 10(animal) * Battle Log * 11(2017) * 12(garden) * 13 * 14(biking) * 15 * 16 * 17 * 18 * 19(2018) * 20(2019) * 21 Link to comment

suzyQlou Posted October 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 So, when I chose this goal, I was having a couple struggles. #1 is the "snacking after work" struggle and #2 is the "dinner portion control" struggle. I've been doing great - 100%!!! - on the snacking. I have been eating fruit or not needing a snack all week. I am having a harder time with the portion control aspect. I only have 2 days of good dinner choices/portions so far. I have lots of good reasons...which are probably excuses...for this. Top on the list is weird work schedules. So, on the one hand, next week should be easier because work hours are more normal. But on the other hand, I need to plan better for days I know I will be working late. Also, I'm happy that my clock said 3:00 when I started typing this. I'm going to go read a book instead of snack RIGHT NOW! 5 Quote suzyQlou * Ranger Old Challenges: #1(2015) * #2 * #3(push ups) * #4 * #5(food) * #6 * #7(2016)* #8(nerdiversary) * #9 * 10(animal) * Battle Log * 11(2017) * 12(garden) * 13 * 14(biking) * 15 * 16 * 17 * 18 * 19(2018) * 20(2019) * 21 Link to comment

Yogurt, nuts, and/or hardboiled eggs are the most useful hunger-squelching snacks for me. Those are all pretty portable.

It’s been a while since I prepped them ahead of time to have on hand. Thanks, Xena! Tough week last week. Only 9 points for me. With 3 points possible every day, that is 9/27. So many witching hours I ignored my challenge. I almost didn’t bother to post. But accountability is what I desperately need, so there we go. For the record, I have trashed the pumpkin cheesecake dip. What an evil temptation - even though I made it for innocent reasons. 2 Quote suzyQlou * Ranger Old Challenges: #1(2015) * #2 * #3(push ups) * #4 * #5(food) * #6 * #7(2016)* #8(nerdiversary) * #9 * 10(animal) * Battle Log * 11(2017) * 12(garden) * 13 * 14(biking) * 15 * 16 * 17 * 18 * 19(2018) * 20(2019) * 21 Link to comment
Xena Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 If ever there was a week for witching hours, it was last week. So fair enough. You should be able to fight the temptation better this week :-) Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
