We have had out of town guests the past 3 weekend in a row! Four high school friends are coming the weekend of Oct 23-25, and our DIL and grandsons are coming over halloween. SO I have falling SO off track. I know that when I lose my way, the weight can come back on so quickly, and then it is even harder to get it off. It is crazy that I am using weekends of guests to dictate how my entire week goes. Those are just 2 days - that is NO excuse for not watching carefully what I eat the rest of the week.
So, after another awful day today, but tomorrow is a new day!! You guys all inspire me everyday, and tomorrow I will start fresh (Again!).
I feel like such a failure at times, but you know, we only fail when we stop trying!
I feel the same at times. As much as I love having visitors, house guests can keep you very busy. As painful as they are, we learn from our failures.0 -
Have been off program for two days, didn't post here for two days-- think there's a connection! I got the message!
JFT
1. Do Pilates
2. Get my 4500 steps in
3. Drink two pink bottle waters
4. Make my veggie soup for dinner
5. Feel good I caught my wondering ways before falling off the cliff!0 -
JFT
I will make healthy choices. My kids have a half day at school & I refuse to stress eat.
We're going to the gym this afternoon.
Walk 45mins in am & take puppy for walk.
Get back on track with planning for Harvest Fair at church this am.
Preplan rest of week's dinners so I'm not making unhealthy choices.
Finish laundry.
Ate breakfast w/o any distractions.
Meditate or journal.
Go to bed by 9:30 (a must)!
I checked out my MFP Friends' list & was shocked to find that more than 1/2 my friends haven't been active on MFP for 3 weeks or more! I looked at all those names & wondered about them. It hit me that I've got to stick with this. I can't just let life run over me & that MFP is an important tool in my tool-belt.
Bri170lb - my prayers are with you & your friend David. I hope he regains his health soon.
RaniFlame - welcome! It's a great thread that keeps me accountable. I didn't check in much this summer but come fall, I'm back & appreciate the inspiring & supportive posts.

Stayed under my calorie goal for yesterday but didn't get my walk in. Woke up with a sore throat so didn't do much at all. Just took my vitamins and rested.
JFT, 10/05
1. Stay within calorie limit
2. Waffling around about my workout - my throat is still somewhat sore and my head is a bit stuffy so I'm thinking I'll see how I feel later. If I'm not feeling good I may decide to eat at maintenance this week and forgo the workouts until I get better. Disappointing because I'm supposed to start month 2 of Insanity Max 30 today. We'll see... I guess my commitment is to listen to my body today and take care of myself. This is long-term. A few days of not working out and eating at maintenance may be better than wearing myself out and making it worse.
So yesterday I ended up feeling better so got in my workout. Happy about that.
JFT, 10/06
1. Insanity Max 30 workout.
2. Stay within my calorie limit but eat back my exercise calories! I need energy to fight this bug that's trying to catch hold.
3. Plan for being away from home Thurs-Fri. Look up hotel and find out if they have a refrigerator.

This is SO TRUE! I know when I come on here, and post my food and exercise each day, it keeps me focused. It is so easy to just stop doing this, and that is when the weight comes back on.0 -
Just for today
1. No matter how busy I am today, I am important. It does not take any more time to eat healthy than to grab unhealthy foods. Choose healthy foods.
2. Walk or get on my ellipitical minimum of 30 minutes -- no matter how tired I may be.
3. carry my water with me all day to remind me to drink water.0 -

So much stress lately, and I'm a stress eater so although it's not an excuse, I know why I'm struggling.
J4T (Tuesday)
1. Log my food
2. Drink my 8 glasses of water
3. Enjoy my grandson's football game and my granddaughter's volleyball game tonight and try to let go of the stress for a while.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!0 -

I hope you are feeling better very soon! You have it exactly right...listen to your body and get the rest you need so you will be in top shape again quickly to hop back into exercising.0 -

I've eaten badly, exercised when I can and miraculously only put on a pound after a very busy / stressful couple of weeks at work....
I now have a couple of minor injuries which are stopping me exercising for a short while, so as I definitely want to get rid of more pounds I need to change my eating patterns to make the difference.
Key mindset change required: Stop thinking that eating junk is some kind of treat or reward. After only 2 days of eating better with loads more veggies, I already feel miles better. THIS is what my body needs, not junk.
Only 1 commitment for Tuesday: Consciously eat what my body needs (rather than what my emotions might want).
Your sins are forgiven. For pennence you should reward your self with healthy foods and do a happy dance cause tomorrow is a brand new day!
Thanks bri170lb0 -

Thanks for the welcome back messages, all!!
So how did I do?
:-) Had some great nutrition for the day.... good healthy veggie protein, definitely had my 5 a day too
:-) resisted the urge to eat junk at lunch and instead hose a tasty and healthy nutritious salad
Did have a little more wine with dinner than should have (friend came round). And also a few extra pistachios..... And other than wine it was all good food, in line with what my body needed.
Happy.0 -
Wednesday's goals:
