    So, I went for one week on holiday and put back on all the weight I had lost in the preceding month or so. This despite it being a "mountain biking and yoga retreat". 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... :s:'(

    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
    - sensible, healthy dinner, no dessert
    - track all food here

    Sorry your holiday went wrong, but I'm sure you can get back on track. I see you listed your proposed meals, but what about some more biking, even if it isn't mountain biking. The calories out, matter just as much as the calories in.

    Ok. So I feel like a complete idiot for not exercising today. I only had 2 goals!

    So. I just cleaned the ironing board and laundry off my treadmill and I am going to walk at least 15 minutes.

    Yesterday's commitments -

    - no unhealthy snacks :/ Caved and had a donut. I don't even know why, other than boredom?! One of the downsides of suddenly having less to do at work after months of stress... boredom eating! Have to watch out for that...

    - stay within calories, with c. 400 deficit (i.e. do not eat back run calories) :/ Only -200, due to aforementioned donut.....

    - no alcohol :)

    - run to work :)

    - take a 30+ min lunch break, ideally outside :)

    - watch out for signs of getting angry or stressed and stop myself from reacting (time out/ relax / challenge thoughts) :/ Wasn't too bad on this, but was slightly snappy at my manager at one point - need to be better at this one. Seem to have got into a habit of snapping too quickly.

    Today's commitments -

    - no unhealthy snacks
    - go to gym after work
    - stay within calories, with c. 500 deficit (i.e. do not eat back gym calories)
    - no alcohol
    - take a 30+ min lunch break OR do yoga at lunch
    - watch out for signs of getting angry or stressed and stop myself from reacting (time out/ relax / challenge thoughts)

    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 WATER :):):)

    So late in the day today, so my goals will be short
    1. drink water tonite!!! Drink WATER! This helps with not eating and mindlessly grazing
    2. go out for a walk. Yes, it is 6:30 pm, but I can still get my walk in, and feel better doing it.
    3. stay focused
    4. get busy logging my days food!

    I work with someone I need to talk only business with and plan to do just that even though it is difficult. Aggravation makes me one to eat, especially argueing.

    Not too good a day yesterday! Went to a friend's birthday party which started with a cocktail making class where we were plied with lots of free drink - intentions kind of went out of the window!

    - Log everything I eat :/

    - Have a light lunch to save calories for later :/

    - If decide to get cake in the afternoon, share with boyfriend :)

    - Choose a healthy option at dinner :|

    - Drink water for every alcoholic drink :/

    - If find self thinking about work, distract self by thinking about something else (plans/ politics/ books etc.) :)

    I'm not feeling too bad about it though - I'd been reasonably good the rest of the week and it's ok to let go sometimes! Just have to try to be reasonable today, despite my hangover making me crave food.....

    Today's commitments -

    - No more snacks outside meals
    - drink lots of WATER to reduce hangover
    - go to gym
    - stay within calories
    - plan when to go on holiday

    JFT 9/25:

    -stick to my calorie goals. I'm exhausted from working a swing shift, being on-call starting when I got off work, and then having to turnaround and be at work this morning. However, I need to make sure I don't use this as an excuse to blow my calories or eat things I know I don't need.
    -Go for my run tonight. I tried to do this on Friday but it was too hot out, so I only managed a 10 minute run. I know I can do better than that.
    -Cook dinner at home. Don't have the money to waste on eating out again.
