Alrighty - birthday is over so it's time to re-evaluate...
Lately I've been treating my RDI as a goal instead of a limit. If I have any extra calories at the end of the night I'm filling them with sweets. This has to stop. My weight loss has been affected because of the influx of sweets. It happens very innocently. I will have one sweet and then in a few moments I realize that I'm mindless eating even more. So I have to regain my self-control if I want to achieve my goal weight.
Additionally, I HAVE to set a goal of working out (i.e. going to the gym) at least 3 times a week and walking around my neighborhood another 2-3 days. Otherwise I WILL NOT reach my goal.
This also isn't just about me. I have to be a good role model for a few people and I don't want to let them down.
On that note I'm going to get some work done so that I can so some of my school reading done at work this way I can go to the gym tonight.

Good for you on going to the gym!!! You should join a challenge to help yourself stay on track, like I am on the 5x a week challenge, and it helps me hold myself accountable.

You're right, the RDI is a limit, not a goal. However, you also need to see it as a good place to be calorie wise, and ensure to not go too low. Personally, I use that I can go to my 1600 cals whenever I feel like it (it helps to NOT have my weight loss journey go tedious on me), but at the same time I never eat just to fill out the "empty slot" in my food journal. Alway under your RDI, never (almost) under 1200. :) Good to see you back with your head in the right place. Now I need to start being serious about gym. Dammit. :)

Thanks everyone! I just hope I can get my head back in the game King. I'm getting discouraged but it's because I'm not sticking to the plan that I'm getting disappointed :(
