@Bex953172 Congrats!
Recap 6/28 M
1) Walked dog 3.43 miles before work
2) Keep net calories in the green = Yes, and I didn't eat back all my activity calories either!
3) Work on to-do list in evening but stop at 9 p.m. to unwind = Done, although dryer with towels was still going at 9 so I finished folding before 9:30. I'm finding that having an "unwind" time at least 45 minutes before my target bedtime is really helping me.
4) Bedtime by 10:30 & TV off = 10:15
JFT 6/29 T - Going to be a challenging day: farewell "food" day in office, so far I've seen a cake, mini-cupcakes, turnovers and donuts in the conference room. Ack! Someone is bringing bread & egg salad, I don't know what else is coming. I brought bananas. Also, I have two back-to-back webinars from noon to 2:30, so brought my lunch (and snacks as usual) today.
1) Have a tiny piece of cake, if any (it's store-bought) and look for any healthy options; I'm not obligated to eat everything or even anything during the farewell.
2) During webinars, close door and pace in office
3) I already have two loads of laundry on line before work and I didn't fit in dog walk, so walk dog after work
4) Stop to-do list at 9 p.m.
5) Bedtime by 10:15 & TV off, have 8 a.m. online class on W1 -
@Bex953172 Bexie, Bex, Bex, Bex!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! This certainly would explain a lot! I ate everything in sight when I was pregnant! 1

Just for Monday:
1. Pre-log meals & snacks and stick to plan
Didn't prelog, but stayed green
2. Hydrate 64+ oz
3. Therapy exercises for knee x2
Therapy appointment kicked my *kitten* today. Was in pain all afternoon afterward.
4. Write out index cards of why I want to lose weight and review them often Will do today
5. Remind myself that sugar is bad for my health
6. Go to postop follow-up appointment
7. Body, Mind and Spirit Self-Care:
a. Read or listen to something regarding nutrition
b. Read Simple Abundance book
c. 15-minute meditation
8. Unplug one hour before bed and get to sleep by 10:30 pm I really suck at this one. I need to get this one under control. It would help so much if I could fall asleep earlier.
Well, I'm off one more week. I go back on July 5th. They put me on some anti-inflammatories to help take care of the swelling and warm areas I still have. when I asked if I could take anti-inflammatories, the nurse at the hospital told me no, because I was taking an aspirin a day for blood thinner. Turns out that was not correct and I should've been on them for two weeks now. UGH. Hopeful this turns the corner for me.
Just for Tuesday:
1. Stay in the green
2. Hydrate 64+ oz
3. Therapy exercises x 2
4. Write index cards for Beck's diet solution chapter 1
5. Take 2-hour online class for creating Captivate assessments
6. Do one self-care item for each: Mind, Body, Spirit...
7. Unplug and go to bed one hour early. Sleeping by 10!!!!
Have a great day everyone!2 -
Hello everyone!
You'll probs all laugh at this!
So you know last week I went on that binge? I've gotten better since but stilln struggling a bit. Just mindless eating and struggling to stop once I get started!
Anyway, I've been wondering what could of caused it, depression, lack of motivation? Turns out there's a perfectly good reason for it all!
OMG ---- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you!! When I was pregnant - I ate everything that was is site, so this explains all!! But still keep logging, and keeping us posted!!!2 -

@joan6630 Oh yeah don't worry I'm not going anywhere!
Do need to speak to the midwife though about my calorie intake, see where I stand with that!
I have no idea when I'm due though.
I'm 8 weeks late for a period but a pregnancy test was negative 2 weeks ago?
Confused much!
But maybe late Jan early Feb!
I'll have to wait for the first scan!

Probably way earlier! It's only 9:18 now and I'm already contemplating going and laying down!
Good evening all!
Was a very good day today! And I have another day off tomorrow! It was a gorgeous day today and got out for a little while, but I didnt get my walk in. Did all sorts of cleaning and errands. The time I did spend outside, I spent with the DH, walking up to the end of the driveway(1/4 mile) to the Pokestop and back. We did that twice. Lol. I love that I was able to spend the day with DH. We are best friends, so spending days off together(when we get them) is like spending the day with a really close friend. Lol. I tried to do most of the cleaning of the house today so that I dont have to do much tomorrow. I have a few chores to do, but nothing too strenuous.
So onto tomorrow's goals!

I just love how much you enjoy being with your DH! It is so refreshing to hear you call him your best friend. I feel same way about mine! It's wonderful, isn't it?3 -
@Bex953172 Congratulations!! That's super exciting. Crossing my fingers for a boy, though I'm sure you'll be thrilled either way 1

Back on the boards... was away at a music festival for 6 days, and couldn't use my phone much as needed to conserve battery!
Eating was TERRIBLE at the festival - there are so many unhealthy options, everywhere you look! Doesn't seem to have had too much effect on my weight though - although I'd gone up yesterday, it's fallen off today.
So I'm going to do my weigh-in today But from now on I'll do weigh-in every Tuesday.
Today's weight: 12 stone 0.25lb (168.25 lb)
Target weight for next week - 11 stone 12 (166 lb)
I'm going to try to lose quite a bit this next week because I'm having an operation next Friday (7th) and after that I'll be stuck at home recuperating for 4 weeks, banned from moderate exercising for 6 weeks, banned from strenuous exercise for 3 months. So I need to make the most of these last few days!
So... Today's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- Choose healthy lunch (450 cals max, ideally less)
- NO SNACKS except ryvita if HUNGRY
- Be in the green
- No alcohol
- Meditate
- Leave work at 5.30pm to break the pattern of early evening snacking. Finish work at home if needed
- Be productive - no procrastinating or perfectionism!
- Stay calm - remember it's just a job!
- Listen to music to boost mood
