Too tired to think of much to say, so right to the list...

Today I:

- Weighed myself (184, -2.5!)
- Ate everything slowly, while sitting down & enjoying every bite (well ate almost everything sitting down - a few things I didn't)
- Gave myself credit throughout the day
- Got moving by doing planned exercise (2.25 mi run - was supposed to be 3, but leg & stomach cramps cut it short)
- Identified hunger v non-hunger every time I wanted to eat
- Tolerated hunger & non-hunger without eating
- Stopped eating when my food was gone
- Calmed down before I ate
- Measured every portion
- Used Resistance Techniques (tea, distraction)
- Recorded all unplanned eating
- Got back on track
- Filled in my cheat sheet
- Contacted my Diet Buddy

Cheat Sheet:
- I was (again) microwaving my lunch, and a co-worker had brought in a platter of homemade, frosted sugar cookies.  I had resisted them several times over the course of the morning, and was so proud of myself, but finally, while heating up lunch, couldn't resist and had one.  It was so good that I had a second one.
- I ate the food slowly and savored every bite, but I wasn't sitting down
- I'm disappointed that I gave in - I was so proud of myself for resisting all morning!
- I had not read my response cards or advantages deck - I need to get back in the habit of doing that
- I think that in the future, when there's a treat next to the microwave, I'll use the one downstairs instead - plus that will give me 1 more flight of stairs!

It was a sedentary sort of day, which my FitBit confirms.  But I was proud of myself for heading out for my run during lunch, and I also didn't eat anything bad at the gathering this evening - 1 small homemade granola bar and some grapes.  Yay!
