    JFT - stay within 1,200 calories.

    Gained a couple from all the delicious food (ie cake) that everyone brought for dads funeral. Stress eating. :'(

    Vicky, I know I missed a lot of posts, but I am so very sorry to hear of your dads funeral. Hugs and prayers for you. Take good care of yourself also during this difficult time.

    Friday:
    1. 15,000 steps :smiley: 17,557
    2. get gardening tasks done :)
    3. lift weights :)

    Yesterday I ate less than 1000 calories, did all of the above (several hours of heavy gardening; full weight workout, plus walking) and still GAINED 3 pounds. I am really at a point of complete frustration with my body. Seriously.

    Saturday:
    1. 12,000 steps
    2. swim a mile
    3. under 100G carbs




    I admire you so much -- you alway keep going! So proud of you!

    Sunday:
    1. 12,000 steps :( 10,090
    2. pick fruit and lift heavy things :)
    3. under 100G carbs :(

    I kind of gorged myself on blueberries yesterday. Not sure why, but that is the only food that I tend to want to overeat like that. Hence the drastic carb failure.

    Monday:
    1. REST
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. under 100G carbs

    This sounds like fun! I'll give it a go.

    JFT 12.07.2015
    1. Stay under my calorie limit for the day (1500 + half exercise calories). :)
    2. Go for my run (Couch25k W2D2). :)
    3. Clean the kitchen. :| (My SO said he'd do it the following day and he did!)

    JFT 13.07.2015
    1. Stay under my calorie limit for the day (1500 + half exercise calories).

    JFT 14.07.2015 (I'll be gone for the day so I'll set my goals now)
    1. Enjoy the food offered without panicking about not being able to log accurately.
    2. That being said, don't use the day as an excuse to pig out on all the cakes/cookies likely to be offered.
    3. Go for my run (Couch25k W2D3) MAYBE. Either that, or the next day.

    JFT 14/07
    1. Pre-plan menus and follow plan
    2. Strength 50+, legs. I'm a glutton for punishment lol
    3. Flexibility 30+, yoga. :) I actually did 35 already.
    4. Cardio 30+

    I've not been this focused on exercise (apart from walking) for quite some time. Sometimes you need to challenge yourself to progress. I hit a plateau early in June and this challenge has got me moving again.

    I really like this thread. One day at a time is such simple but positive way to take on a big challenge like losing weight and staying healthy!

    Just for today I will:
    1. Log everything I eat
    2. Eat only when I am hungry, not because of my emotions
    3. Be kind to Myself
    4. Don't use all or nothing thinking

    Tomorrow I will make myself move for thirty minutes non stop. Cleaning, organizing, whatever it takes. Set a timer and don't stop.

    Did meditate.
    Went way over calories.... been feeling grumpy and a bit headache all day. Chose to self medicate with chocolate and junk instead of anything useful (although am proud of choosing a healthy salad lunch before derailing completely later on).

    Am hoping u wake feeling better tomorrow. ...
