There was disappointingly little mountain biking though, and I ended up with every afternoon free and basically sat around eating. And then I tried all the sweet pastries available in Portugal...
First day back yesterday was then also utterly disastrous, so I am hoping you guys can help me get back on track. At least just for today. I need some encouragement - please help!
JFT 20.9.16
- only 1 bread roll and piece of fruit for breakfast
- no snacking between breakfast & lunch
- take a sensible lunch packet
- no snack except fruit and/or yogurt in the afternoon

You can do this! Just think about putting happy emoji faces at the end of today. Just for today....2 -

Ugh, today was a mix: did several jobs I'd been nervous of, which went well, but in the evening I had to travel and stay over away from home which really preyed on my mind all day: cue nervous eating. So.
Just for Wednesday
It's a stressful upsetting day (ordering a tombstone) so, give myself a break
Bank breakfast calories for a sociable lunch
When I finally get back home, do a little stationary bike
Just one dessert in a dayful of restaurant stops
Get through it

- Choose a healthy option for dinner - ideally in advance Had an extra starter which I shared with my friend, but it was a light one (I think!)

- take a 30+ min lunch break, ideally outside Only managed 20 mins, inside - but away from desk at least

@joan6630 You can do it! It is fine to keep starting over - I think the key thing is to keep trying hard, and after a while you'll slip less often and to a lesser extent when you do! I'm already finding that making healthy choices is getting more automatic - though I have a long way to go...
You have a great motivation in your 40th anniversary - how is your husband in all this? Are there things you could ask him to do that could support you? This could be getting him to agree not to have certain foods in the house, doing different types of activities together.... all sorts! My boyfriend is very good in many ways, but I'm having to really train him to think about portion sizes and weighing things when he's cooking - I think he's getting there though!1 -

1. It is OK to keep starting over! Success comes in small baby steps. Sometimes we go backwards, but the main thing is to keep trying.
2. Look at the goals I HAVE accomplished, not the ones I have not.
3. drink water. I think water makes such a big difference, not only in how we feel, but in helping loss weight. So 8 glasses of water today
4. exercise. Going to power wash the siding, but this does not count. Get to the gym, or a long walk tonite - no matter how tired I feel! Did not feel good in the evening, and missed the morning workout.
5. NEVER GIVE UP!

J4T Thursday
1. Exercise after work
2. Stay under 1400 calories2 -
I went on a very stressful road trip and ate way too much of all the wrong things, so today I am back, again.
I did really good today and stayed under my calorie goal. The best part about meeting my goals each day is NOT HAVING TO FEEL GUILTY about letting myself down.
Also, tonight will be the first,time in more than a week that I will not feel sick when I go to bed. I am feeling satisfied,, but not stuffed and I really prefer to feel this way. I need to remember this feeling!
So, here's to 1 guilt free day! Planning a 2 day streak!

Called, although she did not answer.

Well, didn't do so well yesterday on the food front, but did pretty good on the emotional front, so that's a win of a different kind I guess!
J4T, Thursday
1. Log everything I eat
2. Increase Water intake
3. Stay positive at work
4. Prep and plan tonight for tomorrow - food, work clothes, projects to work on, etc. Get organized!
4. One random act of kindness0 -
weds, 9/21

2. drink water
3. drink water
Trying again today. Why is it so hard for me to remember to drink water.
But - one thing I am reminding myself everyday now, and it is helping. My hubby and I had our physicals last week. I got the Summary Report from my doctor. He wrote in there that I was "overweight, borderline OBESE". That did it. Now everytime I want to eat, I think of that word "obese"!.
So JFT, Thrusday, 9/22
1. Get out of the Obese weight.
2. drink water
3. stay focused. I did not gain this weight overnite, and it will take time. Just concentrate on eating healthy, and exercising.
4. stressful day today with out mentally ill daughter. More reports to fill out for disability, which causes emotional pain and stress. Try not to grab food to make myself feel better - because food will not make this go away. Think positive, as things could always be worse.
5. DRINK WATER0 -

So sorry for what you are going through with your mother. But happy you were able to focus on the positives in your life! I call that a successful day.
