@aerochic: You certainly have a go-go life right now! Maybe that will help you to "forget" to eat--i.e. too busy to nibble mindlessly. Hope all goes well re: prep for your renters!
Maybe a little bit on the nibbling, but that could be it's summer and I get the it's too hot to eat. Although I have to watch that one as well, because I'll sometimes just nibble repeatedly instead of eating a meal.
JFT Tuesday
1. one cup of coffeeone cup of coffee, one cup of tea
2. mowDid this even after going to the gym for a bit to kill some time while waiting on hubby. It was half way to jungle stage and wet and probably would have been easier if I had raised the mower deck one click.
3. knock items off to-do list before traveling 12 hours on Thursday to check out rental property.Not as much as would have been useful to prevent this evening from being busy.
JFT Wednesday
pack, clean, laundry after work0 -

I'm watching a documentary on Netflix called Fed Up & some individuals on the show have pointed out that the Daily Recommended Value for sugar is not posted on Nutrition facts on our food labels. This is scary-how much sugar (%) should we have in our diet?? Different countries have different %.
Hey, Sara, I've referenced Sarah Wilson's book, "I Quit Sugar", a few times in here...She has a very informative section on how much sugar is in the typical american's diet, what her personal goals are re: sugar, places where sugar is hiding in processed foods, etc. It could be a good place to start--I know that there must be tons online, too! Good luck!

Last week I had a planned, fairly minor surgery. My body did not like it, ended up very ill and in ER...my husband's care taking seems to involve lots of treats.....
Just for today (even though it is half over):
I will stay present, so my choices are conscious
I will prep some fruit for a treat this evening so I don't eat something I will regret
I will be kind to my recovering body and know that tomorrow will be easier
I will enjoy this last "sick" day off instead of stressing about the lost income.
I get a lot of strength from reading all of your posts. It really does help to know that we are all struggling with the same issues, that there is nothing "wrong" with me, that the weight will come off if I am honest and consistent.0 -
My daughter and grand-daughter arrive tomorrow for 10 days. This will be a good food period for me. My daughter eats a completely whole foods, plant-based diet, really nothing processed (except organic almond milk and sprouted whole grain bread). I will use it to get back on track!0

Just for today:
1. I'll eat under my allotted calories for the day
2. I'll go to the gym
3. I'll have 1 serving of ice cream for dessert0 -
@feistyjojo: Glad to hear your meeting/client situation went well!! If it is ok to ask, what business are you in? It sounds interesting with all the travel, etc.
I used to be fluent in French also and hoped to use it, but it's not very common up here in hickville/redneck land, lol!
@kwfitgal of course it's okay to ask!! I run my own business in team, management and leadership development. ... facilitation, Coaching, training. I also do freelance work for other organisations (hence the French stuff... They have lots of international clients). My mission is to Bring Humanity to Work (in all its senses). Love what I do. Even if it can get pretty crazy sometimes! :-)0 -

Failed on both of these.
didn't submit goals for today and have chosen to eat a load of biscuits which has taken me unnecessarily over calorie target.
Bit annoyed with myself.0 -

So sorry to hear about your surgery. Take extra care until you recover. It's good that your daughter's visit will help you get back on track. Have a good day.0 -

Don't waste precious time feeling guilty about yesterday's choices. You can make different choices today. Every day is a new start.0 -
