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.
4. Get to bed earlier and try to get quality sleep0 -

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.
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 -
Just for Saturday:
1. 10,000 steps

I met my calorie goal and avoided soda but the rest didn't really happen.
So today my goals are basically the same. Only if I have trouble sleeping I want to try to remain calm about it and not let anxiety make it worse.0 -
