Those are usually the days I throw in the towel on calorie counting, but I think I would be better off if I continued to count. 2400 isn't that bad for a high day. I know I've done a lot more damage than that when I wasn't counting! I say, good job for tracking it, and just get right back on the next day, as you always do!Thinspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282178194538060961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310570945461986903.post-36885808519818854672009-08-31T12:51:48.199-04:002009-08-31T12:51:48.199-04:00FYI: Joshilyn Jackson will be at the Decatur Book ...FYI: Joshilyn Jackson will be at the Decatur Book Festival this weekend.

We just finished The Invisible Wall by Harry Bernstein and it was wonderful.<br /><br />I've read the Anita Shreve one you mentioned, as well as the Sparks' novels. All wonderful.<br /><br />As I've gone through my weight loss journey, learning to eat at friend's houses was hard. But what I finally realized was that I needed to eat there like I did at home. Make good choices, eat small portions and not to be afraid to say, "No thank you."Diane, Fit to the Finishhttp://www.fittothefinish.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310570945461986903.post-32099474489483968952009-08-30T10:12:28.873-04:002009-08-30T10:12:28.873-04:00I don't count calories, but I try to have some...I don't count calories, but I try to have some sort of "guidelines" for social situations. I stopped eating "random" stuff at work. I do eat some cake or bagels or whatever when I know that there will be a celebration, and I plan for it. Otherwise, I just don't touch "stuff" sitting around. It got me into WAY too much trouble in the past. <br /><br />I also need to be careful with appetizers. If I start eating them, I have a hard time stopping. I try not to go hungry to a party, so that I won't attack (literally) the appetizers... It's usually best if I don't have any... I do allow myself one or two glasses of wine. If I have only one glass of wine, I'll have some dessert (if it's worth it), otherwise I won't.<br /><br />Sorry Friday wasn't that great, but I hope you had a great Saturday! :)Andrea@WellnessNoteshttp://www.andreaswellnessnotes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310570945461986903.post-78832247925075576422009-08-30T01:29:35.390-04:002009-08-30T01:29:35.390-04:00I'm somewhat of a planner when it comes to att...I'm somewhat of a planner when it comes to attending a social event.

Only sometimes, I can restrain myself, and usually, it involves physically removing myself from food.

I just try to make sure I eat every few hours so that I'm not starving and that way I don't devour everything in sight. I'm known to have tons of snacks in my purse!

I always have a plan, but end up scrapping it because the food/drink is there. It's much easier at home. Probably because I don't keep much snacky food in the house. That wasn't a helpful answer, I know, but I totally know what you are saying.<br /><br />I read the Time Traveler's Wife a few years ago.
