Well, yesterday was a complete wash. Wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home to watch NOVA documentaries and then went to sleep early. I've really been dragging lately and I am not sure why. I'm having a bit of a fibro flare, but it really isn't bad enough to use as an excuse. Today I really need to whip myself into shape!
Wednesday:
1. 10,000
2. swim a mile
3. under 100G carbs
Good for you for listening to your body. Sometimes we just need more rest. I feel guilty for taking a nap & I have to remind myself how beneficial they are! Plus, I snack on sweets when I'm tired. Hope you feel better.

JFT Fri
Bike 30 min

Peaceful thoughts
Ulrite958 my plateau busting diet is a very low calorie (900) diet, and increase exercise and increase water. After a week or two of this I find I am not as hungry as I was and can eat less and still be satisfied .0 -
Yesterday Thursday, 9/9
1. No eating while sewing. Stop sewing if I want to munch.
2. Drink more water. I forget how much better we feel when we are hydrated.
3. read success stories.
4. Log every bite I logged everybite, including the dairy queen buster bar. Hubby brought home a 6 pack. I did OK most of the evening with my water, but at 9pm ate one. But I am going to not let this stop me. My calories were over 2000, but I will try and think of this as an entire week, and not just one bad day, but 4 good days, and 1 bad day so far this week.
JFT, Friday 9.10
1. remember water
2. Look at the entire week, not just each individual day. I had a bad day yesterday, with giving into sweets and 2 glasses of wine, but my other days were good.
3. Try and get in a long walk today to make up for my buster bar last nite.
4. no matter what I eat, log it!!
5. Reflect on 14 years ago today -- and never take life for granted. Enjoy every moment, everyday.0 -

Forgot to report back on Thursday and set goals for Friday.
Thursday can be summarised by "wow I pigged out"
Friday can be summarised by "Nice recovery and hit goals" (the recovery was from a potential disaster on the calorie front.... went for a coffee after bootcamp. Arrived a few mins after my friends to find they'd ordered me a cappuccino (I normally drink calorie free black coffee) and a huge slice of banana cake)
Proud of my choices for rest of the day and have come in on target. 0 -
Saturday's goals:
- complete my house jobs list so I can completely relax on Sunday
- good food choices AND I will allow myself to have a scone at the teashop in the afternoon and a glass of wine in the evening
- 0 -
Is there a particular format to this or is it just whatever we want to say?
It's a bit late in the day, but I still have goals to meet.
1. Not to exceed 1500 calories today because it was a bit of a lazy day. (so far so good)
2. Continue drinking water and avoiding diet soda. (that stuff is one hell of an addiction)
3. Do my stretching routine before bed.

Ha ha, I am actually not ALLOWED to take naps due to my brain injury/sleep disorder. I've been doing it off an on though lately and that is probably part of why I am having trouble.
Going to bed early sometimes is probably not a horrible idea though!0 -

I met my calorie goal and avoided soda but the rest didn't really happen.

2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?
I do all sorts of crafts, paint watercolours, write poetry. I am an ex-teacher, so I run 4 groups for a local charity and belong to another 10 or so, but will have to put them on hold until I recover from my hip op. I have a new patchwork project, my first full quilt, which I hope will keep me busy.
JFT
1. Listen to the Doctor/physio and follow there instructions
2. Go home. Yippee!
3. Relax. Op went very well! Say the X-ray.
On track for a speedy recovery
JFT Wed 9/09
1. Do physio exercises
2. Get up and move every hour
3. Be thankful
Had good days on Wednesday through Saturday. Daily goals were pretty much the same for each day.
Helped prep some food yesterday which was a great boost. I spent an hour shelling peas. This morning I got up and made myself a cup of tea.
Forgot to post this yesterday lol. It was Michael's birthday. My daughter has gone off on honeymoon to visit the West of Ireland, a week in Rome then a visit to Amsterdam on her way home. We are looking after her dogs for the two weeks.
JFT Sunday
1. Enjoy a visit from my other daughter and my grandchildren.
2. Keep moving.

I will stay within 20% of my calorie goal
I will work out for 50 minutes
I will express my wellness mantra
I am expressing gratitude for what I should have focused on yesterday, 9/11. Living in this great country where I have the freedom and abilities do accomplish whatever I want to in life.
20% over my calories but had an active and fun day. Didn't follow my 3/4 program at breakfast or dinner. Overage was lemonade, bread and butter.
Walked 3 miles at under 17 min a mile
Didn't reinforce my wellness mantra.
For today:
Headed home after 7 days on the road.
I will stay under my calorie goal. I mean it.
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I will work out for 40 minutes and do my exercise routine mindfully
I am expressing gratitude for my parents. Today, focusing on the fact that they're active, mobile and sharp in their mid 80's.0 -
JFT be productive in everything I do -- make healthy food, go to gym, market, laundry, do mending that has been here for months; re-organize shelving stuff; watch football. Sounds like a good day to me! I am mad at myself, was planning on hiking early this AM with a new group, but it poured rain all day yesterday, just poured, so I passed and slept in. Sure enough it is beautiful this morning and I missed the hike. Trying not to beat myself up too much, I will catch the next hike.0

Just for today. I will be attentive to what I eat with balance and portion control in mind0

Good day yesterday. Stayed on track and even got in a gym workout that wasn't scheduled so that felt good. Today in an all-day function so have planned and packed all my food.
JFT: Not feeling so great so my commitment for today is just to get through it on plan.0 -

1. Leave the ice cream alone that I so stupidly bought yesterday. Even though it is "skinny cow" ice cream, I still can't just eat one.
2. Take a long walk today.
3. Get back on the plan. I was doing so well, but had 2 days with too much sugar, which is bad for me.
4. Work on cleaning the house today. A uncluttered, clean house makes a person feel so much better. I have been doing so much sewing (17 charity lap quilts done so far. But as a result, house work has suffered!
I just discovered a website called James Clear. I am going to start reading his free books - about changing your habits.0
