    Get in 12,000 steps.✔️
    Vacuum ~~~
    Clean out fridge✔️
    Prepare for cauliflower pizza, will make Monday✔️
    Get out in that snow, be it high wet and drizzly.✔️

    JFT Monday
    - Get me steps in, in this terrible weather 12,000+
    - Eat 1,200 calories. No more than that
    - Get SO valentines gift together
    - Buy a co worker coffee

    Made cauliflower pizza tonight and I thought it was great and pretty easy to do.

    This is going to be a tough week for me, healthy eating wise, my SO comes home from working 35 days away. I miss him dearly but I still have to work while he's home so he does the cooking and he's amazing but the calories are amazing too.... here's to compromising! Hope it works out.

    Keep the effort up people and enjoy your day!!

    New week, new start! Had put on a tiny bit of weight this morning, but that isn't a surprise given I went way over my calories on three days last week. However, this week has fewer opportunities for over eating (I think) and I can feel my willpower returning so hopefully I can lose that (and more) this week.

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks other than Ryvita - in the afternoon OR in the evening
    - No alcohol
    - Exercise class after work
    - Stay within calories with mini deficit

    - 30+ minute lunch break
    - Meditate
    - Take some time to think about relationship issues
    - No faffing, procrastination or perfectionism - power through to-do list and get stuff done!

    Great job!!!! I struggle with getting the scale to move at all! I am just aiming for 5 lbs a month if I am lucky! Keep up the good work! And , have fun with those little grandkids! Ours live 500 miles away, so enjoy every minute!

    Thank you! I am just trying to stay diligent and aware and making small changes. For the first time I am sticking with it and it's working! I feel very fortunate my grand babies are here. I would miss the pitter-patter. Just sometimes struggle to find balance. Quiet and me time mostly lol

    I have a 17, almost 18 year old, granddaughter living with us. Teenage years are so hard, and it is difficult. She also lived with us when she was a baby, along with her mom (my daughter), and although it is hectic, I cried and was horribly heartbroken when they got their own place. It's a thin line, and I understand how hard, yet wonderful, this time for you is... Deep breaths, grandma! :wink:

    Thanks! Yep, exactly how I feel. I am indeed blessed. However a clean dish, towel, and to not break my leg on something would be great too lol :p Less than 1000 sq ft, 7 people and two dogs. Think we all just have cabin fever. 3 1/2, 23 mo and 22 mo. They all just follow me around room to room, dogs included, like a train! I hope you have a safe and stress free trip!

    Excited about this thread! My goal is to lose fat but gain muscle and become more toned, so not much weight lost but more of a body recomp.

    After my birthday and Super Bowl this weekend, I'm feeling a little puffy.

    Goals for just today:
    Accurately log EVERYTHING.
    Get to step goal before dinner
    Perform one random act of kindness
    Think of 3 things I'm grateful for whenever I start to feel down

    Log :)
    Focus :/ Not so much. Left just before lunch to take one of my teens to the doctor. several hours later we were done. I guess I focused for the few hours I was there...
    Enjoy time out with friends this evening (but order what I've "scheduled") I might get dessert... I'll probably "earn" more calories before then. :) Did enjoy, had dessert at home. (and changed from the smaller sirloin to the more delicious ribeye, because of the doc visits, I never had a chance to eat some of the food I had for work. Totally not complaining)
    Enjoy my weekend. Don't worry about logging, just focus on self (and taxes and maybe even some house cleaning) - Did not work on taxes, but did sweep some

    Today,

    I'll log, during the day is easy, it's at home I struggle.
    I will again consider going to the gym. The biggest problem, is my personal best time to go, is the middle of the day. Too early and I spend the day sluggish and exhausted. Too late can sometimes affect my sleep. Can't really take two hour lunches, which leads after work, peak time, when a 45 minute workout takes an hour and a half because of waiting for equipment. :/ unless I wait longer. If I do that, then I'm often perked up and have to chill for an hour or so before I can sleep. That's ok for a few days, but if I do it continuously, I end up tired, and then don't go at all to recover. grrrr... I wish work had put in a small gym like they said they would a couple years ago. I would have used that.
    Well, that turned into a rant. Summary for when I quote tomorrow.

    Log
    Consider working out

    Two things is enough for a Monday.

    Not online much this weekend, so updates as follows:

    F 2/3/17:
    1) Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water - YES 10 including a bottle of water at bball games :smile:
    2) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - have to do this at work, since evening I will be driving 1 1/4 hour to watch nieces play their basketball games - No a little short with 23 :neutral:
    3) Meditate in afternoon - I noticed in choir last night my breath control is getting better, I want to improve this! - No due to F afternoon office chitchat which I enjoyed :neutral:
    4) Floss before bed, even though I will get home late in evening - No - Ack! :neutral:

    Over weekend, decided on simple daily goals of at least 8 glasses of water and 1.5 miles on treadmill. Yes to both on Saturday :smile: but no to both on Sunday :neutral: Guess I just wanted a lazy day after so busy the past few days.

    Just for today M 2/6/17:
    1) Drink 8 -10 glasses of water
    2) Meditate in afternoon - remember, it's good to calm my mind and improve breath control
    3) Walk on treadmill at least 1.5 miles this evening
    4) Floss !!!
    5) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off - have several early morning events this week, don't want a sleep-deficit

    Sunday
    1. log all food :/
    2. drink water :/
    3. have only 1 bowl of chili for dinner :)
    4. drink water :/

    Total fail this weekend. It all started on saturday. I let myself get too hungry, went to the store, and bought Skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. Ended up eating 2 on saturday, and the other 3 on sunday. ALong with junk food while watching the superbowl. But .... its a new day today, and that is life. I know I will not be perfect everyday. If I can do OK 5 days out of the week, and try not to do too much damage over the weekend, that is living...


    so JFT, Monday 2/6
    1. drink water. 2 glasses with each meal
    2. log ALL food
    3. get to the gym tonite, or out for a walk. Do something
    4. drink water instead of snacking tonite
    5. be mindful of what I am eating. When I overeat, especially junk food, I feel absolutely awful. Its just not worth it. Remember that!

    hope you all have a fantastic day!

    Monday:
    1. Plan and track exercise for the week
    2. Track all food for the day
    3. Under 75G carbs
    4. Weight + Zumba workout
    5. 60 situps
    6. 10 pushups

    Consider working out

    Two things is enough for a Monday.

    I did both, although I logged horrible things, and opted not to go. (My left ovary hates me I think.)

    JFT
    Don't change things up. If it's pre-recorded, eat it.
    Try to get within of 100 calories of the goal.
    Go to bed by 10pm.
