    Okay. I'm back.

    I've been down with some kind of upper respiratory yuck, and taking care a of a kiddo suffering the same ailment. But we are both on the mend, and I am feeling almost 100%. So, I am going to set some goals today, and I am going to do my best to stick to them.

    Goals for 1/11/2017
    - Water: 100oz
    - Food: LOG IT ALL
    - Activity: 45 minutes
    - No snacking after baby bed time
    - Prepare overnight oats for a healthy breakfast

    Thanks for the kind welcomes! Yesterday was super busy so I didn't have time to do much on here besides log my meals, but I did get a walk in. Accomplished all my goals for yesterday and today, actually came in below calorie goal! Today was the first (likely only) really nice day in a long time, so I went on a nice long evening walk. To avoid boredom I tried a walking mindfulness meditation, and ended up in the pretty little park in my neighborhood at the perfect time to see a heron fishing and watch the sun set and the full moon rise. It was magical.

    Goals for tomorrow:
    do some stretches in the morning
    come in at or below recommended calories
    try to eat more protein
    at least 30 min of exercise
    work on commissioned painting

    Yesterday's commitments -

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - No unhealthy snacks - No chocolate!! :)
    - Lunch less than 400 calories :)
    - Choose healthy option at dinner - five bean chilli or skinny burger :| I did have a healthy option.... and then I added a dessert. Not in the plan!
    - g&t only, NO WINE! :/ I had wine and G&T so again not in the plan. Having said that, on previous occasions when I've set this goal I've ignored it completely and drunk only wine, so this is a step in the right direction....
    - exercise class after work :)
    -30 + minute lunch break :)
    - Meditate :)
    - catch up on neglected project - get on top of things! :)
    - listen to music and power through, no faffing :)

    Today's commitments -

    - Log everything I eat
    - No unhealthy snacks
    - Stay within calories
    - don't procrastinate even though working from home....
    - listen to music and power through

    Weighed myself this morning and seem to have pretty much lost my Christmas podge despite the odd slip up so pleased with myself!

    Just for today, Wednesday, 1/11
    Pretty much the same as yesterday!
    1. Stick to meal plan. Journal every bite, even cheats. :/ Got up at midnight and for some reason grabbed about 10 mini candybars! WTH? no clue what drove me to this.
    2. HYDRATE, WITH WATER!!! Coffee is not WATER! :/ Not enough. Fingers are swollen today which means i need more water
    3. Find floor exercises or weights (maybe yoga?) that you can do while I have to wear this stupid ortho boot. :( Worked until 8:30 last night again. Exhausted. I have my 40 hours in yesterday and it was only Wednesday!
    4. Unplug one hour before bedtime, read and journal. :/ Worked late. I did read and unplug, but it wasn't until late.
    5. Make significant progress on my project for Rusk and WWD at work. You probably won't finish it today but you can by Friday if you just concentrate and stop procrastinating! Stop letting all the little things distract you! :/ Yesterday was terrible. I worked at home and my husband and graddaughter who lives with us were fighting all day. Could hardly concentrate. Got a lot of work done, but not what I wanted to.
    6. At least one random act of kindness :)

    This week I will...
    1, Finish the 2017 budget
    2. Let someone know I'm thinking of them by sending them a handwritten letter
    3. Go to gym and have some "me" time
    4. Schedule a massage

    Just for today, Thursday, 1/12
    1. Try to add foods to my meal plan slowly on this new short term maintenance plan they put me on
    2. HYDRATE! My fingers are like little sausages!
    3. Bring hand weights upstairs to at least tone upper body until i get the boot off.
    4. Unplug one hour before bed and read, journal and unwind
    5. Get my handouts done today. Get halogen stuff done.
    6. At least one random act of kindness. A little something can change a person's whole day

    This week I will...
    1. finish the 2017 budget
    2. Let someone know I'm thinking of them by sending them a handwritten letter
    3. Schedule a massage

    X- Activity: 45 minutes
    - No snacking after baby bed time
    X- Prepare overnight oats for a healthy breakfast

    Well. Not all horrible yesterday. Because the only reason I'm not giving myself credit for "no snacking after baby bedtime" is I had a small cookie while I was preparing my oats. One cookie is so much better than sitting down with a bag of chips or otherwise large snack before bed. I consider that a huge win with TOM due any minute now (the bloat showed up with authority this morning!)

    Goals for 1/12/2017
    - Water: 100oz
    - Food: LOG IT ALL
    - Activity: 45 minutes

    - don't procrastinate even though working from home.... :) Definitely didn't procrastinate, was working in a panic all day....
    - listen to music and power through :/ Forgot to do this one and actually would have lifted my mood

    I'm starting over again also. Actually I'm still getting psyched up to really start. I've updated my weight and goals in MFP and I've started logging in again. So, Just For Today my baby steps are:
    -Log everything I consume
    -Check my blood sugar throughout the day (half done)

    I have to know where I'm at in order to see where I need to go.

    Yes, it's been really stressful! And I am a stress eater so it's a battle everyday. I see so many similarities in our posts that I really look forward to your posts, because I think you have some great ideas on how to deal with the work stress. :) I have tried some of your ideas and they helped! Thanks for that. I hope things get better for you real soon too!!!

    Reached all my goals for today. It has been a little hard to enjoy winter, however. Calling for freezing rain tomorrow. Will be hard to not overeat.
