Just for today, I will:
1) jog more than 1 mile
2) eat light to make up for yesterday's dinner...
3) Hold a 1 minute plank
#1 - check! Did 1.5 miles in intervals of walking/jogging
#2 - check! Now I feel a little less bad about Monday
#3 - check! Almost didn't do it, remember right before bed and did my plank in my PJs. My husband walked into our room and was like what the heck?! Better late than never though!
JFT 5/6:
1) Jog a mile nonstop (no walking)
2) Do 45 pushups
3) Stretch for at least 10 minutes at the end of the day0 -

1. I will utiluze my coping skills to eat healthy and work through my back pain without comfort food.
2. I will drink some calming tea to help keep me relaxed.
3. I will keep a positive attitude.
4. I am in control of my actions
5. I will eat healthy when company comes for dinner tonight (my food is ready to go).
I am feeling a bit weak minded today, the pain monster is Waring me down. I have much to do and little back power to accomplish it. So it's one task, one meal and one moment at a time.
I CAN DO THIS!
YOU CAN! Go you

Just for today!!
Almost done.
I went out to run though familiar issues didnt allow me to do in the morning as i like to do (empty streets, i feel tired in the evenings, come on, i have a BABY!). I completed the 7 km planned, but in a higher time than i was suposed. Anyway, proud that i just did it!
I ended my food diary 19 cal. over my daily limit, which is not that bad. And the best of all: Tomorrow i have another chance to improve myself!0 -

Wow that's fab! Well done you. Great feeling, isn't it?0 -
Well after such a stunning Monday I had a disastrous Tuesday. Driven by 1 simple stupid act.... feeling headache and a bit sorry for myself when I went out to the shop, I bought a jar of nutella (choc hazelnut spread). Big mistake. I then ate. The entire. Jar.
Technically this has blown my chance of hitting weekly calorie target. And if I choose to think that I would just keep eating.
So I've chosen to ignore it and keep right on with my daily plan. Today I've eaten well under calorie target and made some great choices.
I think I'm noticing a link between eating more protein (which I find challenging as a veggie wanting to control calories) and fewer cravings for sugar. This can only be a good thing if it's true so am going to keep putting the effort in to increase protein to around 60 grams a day.
So... Thursday's goals:
- hit calorie target and eat plenty of protein
- walk very briskly to polling station (general election here tomorrow) if weather allows
- keep focus on end result - it will SO be worth it!0 -

This is absolutely true for me.
I spent the first 17 months of my weight loss journey mastering my sugar cravings before I noticed this link. I lost 30 pounds during this time. Now I know that if I am careful to get in lots of protien I can stick to my calorie goal without feeling hungry or craving sugar. I have lost 43 pounds in the past 4 months.
I am losing weight much faster now because I am more in control of myself ( sugar makes me more hungry and makes me crave more sugar) and also because I have more energy with the protien and most days I can't wait to do my exercise ( sugar zaps my strength).
