So the meeting topic was about stress, and let me tell you I might not be a stress eater, but after 3 Manhattans I was feeling a little better as i have a family member that is in the hospital under going tests. But all was tracked and I did use a few of my weekly points so all is good…..

Well I redeemed myself today. No surprize meals and was well in control of my empty calories. I made sure I ate extra fruit and drank plenty of water.

A great beginning to my tracking. Added more power foods into my day and reduced my empty calories by half. Was very satisfied and I was able to keep well within my daily points plus allowance.

A nice end to the tracking week. I had a great Valentine’s Day and did not over do it by sharing a piece of chocolate cake with dinner. While I did make use of my Weekly Allowance points during the week I feel I was in control of my actions and am looking for continued success.

Mostly a good day, had a lot of frustrations with some of the aspects of my job, but toward the end of the day it all worked out. I did not stress eat and that was a success. Had bowling league unfortunately I was not on my game. Just drank water during the match, another success. However when I got home I wanted to finish reading a book I started on my Kindle Fire over the weekend and I stayed up to late and fell asleep in my chair, Kindle on my lap. Oh well I finished the book this morning during breakfast.

A busy day meetings, emails and conference calls. I had a chance to catch up with friends at work that I have not seen in a long time.  At bowling league I obtained from beer and just drank water. Overall a great day for tracking and managing empty calories.

What a great start to the week while I’m down one of my daily points I actually used  less than I needed to. I was satisfied and not hungry. I was also able to reduce my empty calories.

Power foods for the day 3, power foods for the week 28.

Well, unfortunately I over did the empty calories today I got a little stressed out last night about my grandson misbehaving and after all was settled down, I need to drink. Probably not the right thing to do, but I did it anyway and tracked.

Meeting later this afternoon and we will see how everything went.
