I like zucchini noodles, we have some in the freezer now. Almost ate them last night, but went for okra instead (I think that was last night anyway). Point is you should try eating more veggies, I have been surprised how filling the can be for only a few calories. And properly prepared they can be pretty tasty.

I did pretty good today though I could have drank more water. I'm debating whether to buy more, I've been cutting down on bottled waters, but because of the flooding they had to shut down the water treatment plant, they said the water was safe to drink, but I'm still a little skittish about drinking it.

My weight went up I think because I had a late dinner last night. I also ate too much today I keep forgetting how many calories are in a Charcuterie plate. I was planning on walking more, but I fell asleep early. At least I got some rest since I have a phone interview today.

I did good except for the cupcake. My phone interview went okay, though I tend to get flustered and I think I messed up a question. Though I guess it didn't go that bad since I have another (virtual) interview) on Wednesday.

Maybe try to do something relaxing, like meditation, before the phone interview on Wednesday. Just some deep breathing, concentrating on each breath helps. Good luck with it.

Update on the 4 job interviews:
Interview 1: A virtual interview was supposed to happen but didn't because the interviewers schedule got mixed up, rescheduled for Tuesday.
Interview 2: Phone Interview went well, another (virtual) interview has been scheduled for Monday.
Interview 3: Phone interview went okay, I messed up parts of it I don't know if I'll hear back.
Interview 4: An in person interview, the first job interview I've went to wearing a mask. Getting around that area where it was located has and still is a nightmare. The street layout is confusing and construction always seems to be going on. Even though I left early I arrived got there late. It went okay, though if I hear back I don't know if I'll take the job or not.

Congrats on the interviews, I hope you get your pick of jobs! I'm a new member here and I admire your consistency and dedication to this diary - and your total weight loss since 2015.
I notice your recent breakfasts of cereal or pancakes are pretty high calorie / low filling compared to the rest of your day, but I know you were eating a lot of oatmeal when you first started losing weight. I haven't yet read all 180 pages so I apologize if its been covered, but have you experimented with "overnight oats" (where you soak oatmeal in the fridge overnight in a mason jar with something like milk or yogurt and then eat it in the morning, often with added fruit or nuts)? I found that I didn't need to consume as many calories of oatmeal to feel full as full as I did eating a lot more cereal - and that the oatmeal would keep me feeling full much longer.

Thanks! I've enver had overnight oats, I've only had instant oatmeal. I might go back to eating it since it's getting cooler. I may even try the overnight oats!
