Yesterday W 3/29/17
1) Pre-log breakfast and lunch (done), and at soup supper before Lent service, do NOT take dessert. Wish I knew beforehand what the soup choices will be. Yes to no dessert, but added snacks before soup supper and went over daily calories by more than a few. Oh well, do over today!
2) Continue to update financials. Nope, not even sure why I thought I would have time for this. Unplanned, I stayed after church service to help with funeral luncheon set-up, home at nearly 9:00 and did a few small chores.
3) Floss - Yes Day 4
4) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off - Yes 10:22 but too wound up to fall asleep right away. Need to slow down sooner.
Just for today R 3/30/17
1) Food for today is pre-logged / stick with plan
2) Work on updates of financials at lunchtime
3) Walk 1.75 miles on treadmill after choir rehearsal (with rain/snow mix, skipping workplace spring hike at lunch)
4) Floss - keep it going!
5) Bedtime by 10:30 w/o TV3 -

I don't know why I bother planning anything for after work. I feel like a slug by the time I get home and never manage to do anything except get the coffeemaker ready for morning. *sigh*
Today is pretty much over so I won't post goals for today. What I did do today is drink water, not eat a lot of junk and got my haircut and colored. What I did not manage to do today is stay away from sugar. I ate two small chocolate bars.

JFThursday
- Stay within daily calorie goal - YES! That's three days in a row. Really good for me!
- No alcohol - Yes - but probably more because I didn't feel well than anything else.
- Bed at 9:30 - Yes, again, not hard. I didn't feel well.
- 30 min on elliptical OR 30 min yoga - No. I was feeling nauseated almost all day.
JFT - Friday
- Stay within daily calorie goal
- drink more water during the day (this week I've fallen off the water wagon)
- eat my veggies for lunch (stealing from others on this thread)
I'm ready for the weekend!3 -

I struggle with this too! I have found if I drink decaf teas, like a berry flavor, it goes down pretty good. I also use drops called Stur that come in different flavors. Just a little bit helps flavor the water a lot and there are no artificial ingredients. 100% vitamin C also. One of my favorite things though is to infuse my water with either lemon and cucumber slices, or strawberries, orange slices, etc. Just that little bit of flavor from the fruits or cucumber (sometimes mint leaves also) really help me get it down. I'm just not a water lover and I wish I were! Good luck!2 -
Hi all!!! Been really busy but mostly exhausted. The house that I have been living in for the past 15 years is on the market. My parents own it and I have have made the payments to them. There is another house in back that my sister lived in for the first 10 yrs. We have raised at least 4 families and countless beloved pets on this property. They need it to sell and it is a 1930 home that needs a ton of work. So here is to a new chapter for everyone.
Been doing good with my calories and water intake. Until yesterday that is.... Needing to de-stress and try to rest I guess.
Just for today: Friday
8 glasses of water
Keep it together!!!
Looking forward to a cup of coffee and catching up on the thread!! Have a great day and rock those goals!!!!!

I've done this! Omg lol
I had it when sober though!!
And then I thought oh it won't be THAT bad.
I ate my whole daily allowance in one McDonald's meal.
Gutted.
There's nothing wrong with having a treat one day, just make sure you absolutely beast it the next day and you'll feel good again3 -

As another person mentioned on this thread, drinking water that has been infused with lemons, oranges, or other combos enhance the flavor, and you want to drink more. I've made an infusion with oranges slices, a sprig of basil and a handful of halved grapes. It's really good; infusion with oranges in it last two days, sometimes three. There are all kinds of combinations to try. Good luck.

I third the suggestions of adding things to your water. My go-to is cucumber. I also use Kool-Aid Tropical Punch water flavor drops. They're expensive but oh. so. good!3 -
JFT - Friday
- Stay within daily calorie goal - As long as I stop eating and drinking right now! Kitchen is closed!
- drink more water during the day (this week I've fallen off the water wagon) - Ugh. Sadly, no. Didn't crack open my Swell until almost 2!
- eat my veggies for lunch (stealing from others on this thread) - Double ugh. They were brought home again...
Tomorrow's a new day!2 -
I'm going to plan my meals tomorrow. Get to the grocery store early so I don't lose the motivation. I'll find a new recipe to try.
The kids have been gone all week and I've missed them so I'm going to spend some time loving them(yes I know they will ruin it by getting in a fight) but I might get a min or two where everyone is happy3 -
