    Hi! I was active here a year or so ago. I have gained 15 back in the last couple months with stress junk. So, since I liked this thread so much, I am going to try jumping back in here to try to regain control of my health.

    Welcome back! Those pounds can come back on so quickly, but we are glad to have you back with us!

    Was dealing with major pain issues on Tuesday, so I sort of took the day off.

    Hope you are doing better today!

    Lots better! Rest and using BioFreeze...that stuff is like a miracle for muscle and joint pain.

    J4T - Wednesday
    1. Stick to meal plan :)
    2. WATER, WATER, WATER! :)
    3. Add 100+ steps to yesterday's count :)
    4. Put my earbuds on to tune out those around me at work and focus on what I need to get done. Politely ask colleagues to not disturb unless necessary today. B) I got so much done!!! Yea!
    5. Every hour when my fitbit buzzes, walk down the hall to the water dispenser and get both steps and water in. :)
    6. Try not to let myself be "in the grip" at work today. Breathe. Soothing music. One task at a time. Don't let it all overwhelm you. Nobody is going to die if I don't get it all done in time. :)
    7. Activity tonight. February 1st marks a new month. This month I will begin to exercise and slowly increase. :(
    8. Take time for "me" tonight. I'm exhausted. I need to take some down :) time tonight and not think about work.
    9. Bed at least one hour early. :)
    10. Make someone smile today with at least one random act of kindness.

    J4T - Thursday
    1. Stick to meal plan :)
    2. WATER, WATER, WATER! ;) kinda but I can and should do better!
    3. Add 100+ steps to yesterday's count :)
    4. Teach the new provider and try to get it all done in 4 hours. :) He gave me a really good eval!
    5. Get my hair cut and colored. Do not feel guilty about leaving early to do this. You have "donated" plenty of hours to work. :) Got it done and love the color. But I am failing at "not feeling guilty". Been working at home all night to make up for it.
    6. Try to relax and read some of my new book tonight. :( Been working at home.
    7. Bed early. Sleep on time tonight. Do not obsess about work! ;) Going to bed right now. We'll see about the obsessing part...

    Hmm so I didn't do very well at all at resisting the free food on Wednesday! I was potentially SLIGHTLY better than on Monday - I gave half of my chips away. But I was very far from making good choices though!

    However, not feeling too bad about it - yesterday I was actually ok, my hotel breakfast was a buffet and I actually controlled myself reasonably well. Plus, I left work very late and was very tempted to get crisps as a snack before dinner... but then didn't!

    So not perfect, but starting to make some good decisions again. I see this as improvement given I've had a couple of weeks where I give in to pretty much everything!

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat
    - No unhealthy snacks at all (will eat up the bloody ryvita if I feel the need)
    - No wine tonight - G&T only
    - Stay within calories with 300 deficit (running to work this morning so earning some extra calories)

    - 30 min lunch break
    - Meditate
    - Work quickly and efficiently - no faffing or perfectionism
    - Update to-do list for weekend - need to get back on top of life admin after a few weeks of over working!

    Happy Friday everyone!

    @slittlemeister my partner bought me some McVities thins. It's basically a chocolate digestive but it's as thin as a cracker! 30cal per biscuit!

    Takes that craving away without using too many calories!
    I love it because I can still have a treat without feeling guilty!

    Log :)
    Focus :( (Just one of those days...)
    Stay within 100 calories :/ I am really not good at this. But I was closer.
    Take one moment at a time :)

    Log
    Focus
    Enjoy time out with friends this evening (but order what I've "scheduled") I might get dessert... I'll probably "earn" more calories before then.
    Enjoy my weekend. Don't worry about logging, just focus on self (and taxes and maybe even some house cleaning)

    Maybe try infused water recipes - just google. I love water with cucumber slices.

    For my daily water, I have 16 oz. with breakfast and lunch, then have a 24 oz. water bottle at my desk at work. I try to drink two of those daily. I have more problems drinking water when I'm at home or out and about, have to keep reminding myself. If I get cranky, my body is probably craving water.

    BTW, I love your word for February: unstoppable!

    Yesterday R 2/2/17 - yikes, not so good yesterday! By the time I got home at 7:45 p.m. I was overtired and still had chores to complete. I gave in to snacking. But I logged it all, I was over calories, but not as bad as I thought.
    1) Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water - YES 10 at least when I snacked I drank 16 oz. of water too :smile:
    2) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - YES barely 25 :smile:
    3) Meditate in afternoon - No, mind just racing, doing too many other things :neutral:
    4) Errands after work before choir, have to fit in supper - make wise choices and no matter what, log all food - Yes/No - between errands and choir, stopped at a favorite café of mine with limited time; had to wait for party of four to decide their orders, so I stuck with bowl of soup, ate all the oyster crackers that came with, and drank tea (fewer calories and better for my sore throat still sticking around). I logged it all! :smile:
    5) Floss! - No, overtired, just flopped into bed :neutral:
    6) Bedtime by 10:30 w/o TV - No, in bed after 10:30 with TV on, but TV off by 11:00 :neutral:

    Just for F 2/3/17:
    1) Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water
    2) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - have to do this at work, since evening I will be driving 1 1/4 hour to watch nieces play their basketball games
    3) Meditate in afternoon - I noticed in choir last night my breath control is getting better, I want to improve this!
    4) Floss before bed, even though I will get home late in evening

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Woah, I would be in pain if I only drank 2-4 glasses of water a day. Isn't your skin dry and itchy in the cold weather?

    Water doesn't have to be plain water...how about hot tea or iced tea? I mostly drink herbal tea. I like to pre-prep in 4-cup bottles, that makes it easier to count...if I have three for the day, I am usually good.

    You could also try a splash of lemon, lime, etc.
