I just realized about an hour ago that I didnt give myself any goals for today! It was a good day though! Went to my doctor appointment and all was good. Told him about my hard day on Monday and he didnt seem too worried since it was the only bad day I've had in at least a month and a half. The DH was with me and can tell my moods better than I can and even he said I was doing really well! I swear that man(the DH, not the doctor lol) is my rock!
And I weighed myself this afternoon, after the appointment, and...drumroll please!!!!! I'm down another 4 lbs!!!!! That's 9lbs in two weeks! And it's all because I stopped eating crap! I've done a few 4 miles walks and bike rides, but nothing too drastic. And most days I dont even hit my step goal, but I've been giving myself a healthy and consistent calorie deficit. And it's been pretty easy for me to follow, too. It's nice that I'm able to start to get a handle on my weight!
But Just For Tomorrow:
1. Stay in green/log all food
2. Spend more time standing than sitting at work
3. Make yummy and healthy dinner
4. Drink 64oz of water
5. Eat more veggies
I think that's good for tomorrow. I know I probably wont be able to get a walk in tomorrow, so I'm not even going to put it on my list. Lol5 -

We have been so busy with not only putting things back together after ripping out carpet, but now having the floor "reinstalled" in our patio room. So ... the house is a mess with furniture moved all over the place. Thankfully today they will finish up the patio room, and I can at least get that room back in order.
I've been busy sewing - I have 45 chemo hats ready to be picked up. But .... that means that I had not been logging my food intake, or paying attention to exercise like I should.
I've been reading the book "the Beck Diet Solution". It is about Cognitive Behavior Therapy, to think like a thin person. Everyday you get a assignment for 6 weeks. Today's assignment is to write all the reasons I want to lose weight. Write these on a index card, and 4x a day, go and read the list. It says to take this list with you in your purse, even post it on the refrig, etc. to remind myself daily why I want to lose weight.
I'll post each daily assignment on here - if anyone wants to join me. I am so frustrated with myself that I can't seem to get this in control, so hoping this method will help me.
SO JFT, Thursday
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water all day
3. write my Advantages Response Card. Read it 4x today
4. clean up patio room, and put furniture back
5. help hubby with "work".
6. work on business expenses and journal entries - I am SO far behind on this
7. finish up the 45 chemo hats to be picked up on monday for the cancer center
8. get back working on my quilt
9. Read my Advantages Response Card

Recap W 5/10
1) Log all food...after work, have happy hour with former colleagues, so stick with one adult beverage and if available, eat something that won't crush my calories for today. Look up menu online before I go. I looked up menu, selected baked haddock...ordered that with steamed veggies and found out one more side came with, so ordered French fries. Had that with 2 bottles of beer. Went home, and with all resistance gone, dived into the Easter candy. At least I didn't eat it all.
2) Evening, either walk dog or start strength workout - remember monthly goals! Raining = no dog walk, and No Ambition = no workout.
3) Floss = Day 4
4) Bedtime by 10:30 & TV off = 10:20
Struggling a bit this week, have been backsliding on food and exercise, mostly related to my schedule / work issues and weather not being too nice. I need to deal with it, especially stuff where I have absolutely no sway.
Just for R 5/11
1) Keep net calories in the green, or least w/i 100
2) Get some exercise: either walk dog or strength training
3) Do some laundry this evening
4) Floss
5) Bedtime by 10:30 & TV off0 -

Please do! I would love to do this with you. I'm really down and I have gotten to the point where I'm not only eating crap, I don't even care or log it. I am tired, stressed and depressed. And when I get like that, I just give up. I'll turn back around tomorrow, but for today....yeah, I've already had 2 1/2 donuts. So there's that...1 -

2. Try not to go home and drown my sorrows in ice cream
3. Try not to quit my job
4. Look into becoming a hobo and riding the rails for a while....2 -

Don't give up!! But ..... I know exactly how you feel. I drown myself in ice cream, candy, cookies, whatever. Life can be so stressful. I go to the store, and ending up throwing a box of cookies in the cart! Last nite, all I had to do was go to the drug store to get a card for my DIL, and I ended up throwing in a bag of candy. WHat in the world am I doing! So thats when I decided to really read the book I've had sitting on the shelf for 5 years, and follow what they say to do.
Today, so far, I am doing OK. I have been reading my "Advantages Response" card 3x already - I am suppose to read this 4x a day.
But I am desperate, and ready to try anything to get back on track and feeling better.
Hang in there. If you average out your entire week, those 2 donuts won't hurt you. Remember, its 3500 calories to make just 1 pound - and those donuts are not that much.
But yes, I will post the "task" each day, and would love to have you join me! We can do this ---- I keep trying to visualize what I can look like and feel like for Christmas1 -

Joan, I'd love to join you on writing my 4 reasons. I was listening that people who believe in their "why" will have better success than those who don't. It's my understanding that the more specific, the better. For example: instead of writing "I want to be healthy" you could write "I want more strength/energy to keep up with my kids" or "I want to fit comfortably in my favorite jeans", that kind of thinking.
Awesome to hear about the chemo hats, very kind. When the room is all done you're going to feel so good about finishing!
Find one thing to do when your struggling: i.e.: log only your breakfasts or log Mon-Fri. I always fail with an all or nothing approach. Build up up to your healthy habits. Once you master one, add the next. You'll get there and be proud that you've taken steps towards your reasons.

Happy Friday everyone!
Pretracked some food today.
About to walk dog with DH.
Going to listen to an inspiring podcast-Half Size Me
Weight lifting & elliptical.
Research some abdominal exercises I can do at home.
Aiming for 150g of protein. Going to do an experiment, try eating more protein before 3pm to stave off mindless grazing in evening.
Have a protein shake this afternoon if hungry.
20 min nap/meditative breathing.
Drink 8 cups of water.
Early to bed-9:30. Still struggling with this!
Finally I've worked my way back up to the weight settings that I was using in September. I lost so much strength over the fall/winter. I have to stick with this!
