Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
I had a couple of extra G&TS (bad day). However I resisted extra food even though I was very, very tempted!
- 30 minute lunch break (plan what to do with it)
Previous meeting overran so didn't have time
- Leave work by 5.30 5.40 - again, I turned my laptop off at 5.30, just faffed around for ten mins. I need to take this into account when planning when to leave!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- No alcohol
- 1 hour lunch break
- Plan to-do actions for today/ weekend/ next week
- Stop work at 5.304 -
@Snowflake1968 I work in the research team for a public sector organisation. I have been effectively doing two jobs for two years because they won't hire enough people. I now have a direct report, but only because there are even more projects than there have been. And my stakeholders are ridiculously disorganised so every project is commissioned at the last minute and therefore is always a mad panic with ridiculous deadlines. I will probably leave this year 3

It sounds like an interesting position. I 100% feel your pain about being understaffed and doing two jobs. I was doing that for my previous company up until August last year when I was let go, one reason being I couldn't keep up. Go figure. I hope when you find your next job you find a company that respects your time and understands that people have lives outside of work. Hopefully you get paid for the extra hours you always seem to be putting in.2 -
Welcome @Mamiof4Ruratz. I started this group myself very recently, it is amazing!1

JFT - Wednesday April 4
2L of Water - I seem to have a pretty good routine during the week with my water. It's the weekend I struggle with.
Stay in Green - Yes!!! 3 days in a row
Write in Journal - No, I wanted to eat, not because I was hungry but because I really wanted more of my cheese and crackers so I went to bed instead. So missing my journal writing may have been a win anyway.
Do 10 Something's every hour - Yes, this is getting to be a nice routine at work. If I get busier, I may have to start setting an alarm to remember to do it though
Write an introduction, welcoming page for a new training manual - I have been trying to get this worded correctly for 2 days now. - Yes and corporate loved it!!!!!
Continue 10 Something's at home - No. We downsized last year and I have a hard time wiggling and dancing in front of my husband's tv shows and there is no room in other rooms in the house. Have to figure this out.
Figure out a healthy supper for Grandchild Wednesday - Made pita pizzas, with raspberries for dessert. Everyone else had ice cream bars, my granddaughter shared hers with me so I have two bites. I counted it as an 1/8 of a bar and logged it.
JFT - Thursday April 5
2L of Water
Stay in Green
Write in Journal
Do 10 Something's every hour
Start new training manual, get some questions answered
Figure out a healthy supper, going to be a late night tonight getting home
I weighed myself this morning, I was down 1.4 pounds since Sunday. I'm not adding it on here yet though, I'll wait until Sunday. I was just being anxiously curious. Tonight I am going with my youngest to see a videographer for her wedding, so it will be late when I get home. I have to stay away from the drive-thru's.5 -
Thursday goals
Sleep enough to work again tonight.
Stick to meals and snacks that I have packed with me
Did well last night and only ate what I brought. Avoided the ice cream and toppings that everyone else was eating.
Getting closer to being in the green. Not quite there but still managed to lose 5 pounds

Past couple of days I've been doing well on kj count
I'm still not feeling up to exercising yet but gradually able to do just a bit more of everything each day, so I tell myself that soon enough I'll be at it again.
Day 60 something, (I'd have to check... the records are down the other end of the house... OH YOU SO LAZY)
avoid gluten and dairy
limit kj - stay green
limit sugar
Eat what I want - don't substitute (except for mayonnaise, always less mayonnaise
)
repeat after me: Don't look for society to give you permission to be yourself.- Steve Maraboli3 -
Holy Crow! There was over 50 posts after I posted my goals the night before last!! No wonder we are past 150 pages already! I wish I could reply to everyone but I'm logged on with my phone and it's a lot harder to type them here then on my laptop. Lol.
@Bex953172 Casey is one heck of a beautiful baby!
@cschmitz110515 You got the storm we're going to get tonight/tomorrow. I'm not excited for it! It's spring for gosh sakes! Lol.
@Snowflake1968 I'm going to steal your idea of 10 somethings every hour! I already do 20 calf raises/toe raises when I brush my teeth. Lol
@joan6630 I have a 24oz blender bottle that I use as a water bottle. I love it. I drink between 4-6 a day. Lol. I'm lucky because my office has 3 ice cube trays that I keep filled so I have plenty of ice to go with my water. Lol.
I still have about 15 minutes left on my break. Lol. I guess I'll look the guesstimate the salad I had for lunch. Lol.3 -

Steal away! I normally, dance, do Zumba type moves, lunges, pacing, wall push ups and squats for 10 minutes at a time and count it as 10 minutes of slow walking. It's working according to the scale anyway LOL1 -
JFT, Wed
1. concentrate on water. My weight is WAY up --- so discouraging (yes, seeing that 2 before my weight YIKES). I know part of this is because of all the ham (and candy too), that I've been eating, but have to get that number on the scale down! So disgusted with myself. 7 glasses down!
2. log all food I was doing so good until my daughter came out. then ... just that quick... I scarf down 6 graham crackers. So today I am going to make a list of what to do when I get stressed.
3. 5 servings fruits and v eggies
4. sip water tonite - no snacking on anything
5. finish up quilt
6. finish up chemo hats so they can be picked up

1.4 pounds is great!!!2 -
karenleona wrote: »Tuesday recap
Was well within calories till I got home and found pizza on the counter. Drat. Two pieces inhaled as I was super tired and stressed. Stopped there tho. Could usually eat 4 pieces.
Pizza is one of my weaknesses too! I always pat myself on the back when I stop at 2 pieces, because I normally would also eat 4!! Good job!2 -

I love your 10 something's idea! I might have to steal that one from you!
What kind of training manual are you writing? I was a trainer for 24 years in IT before taking this new job about 4 months ago. 2 -

I weigh more right now than I ever have...except when pregnant with twins. I'm also feeling very disgusted with myself, so I know that feeling. But we are still here every day and that is a big step in the right direction. We truly CAN do this!!!3 -

Welcome!!! We are happy your stumbled onto this group to! 1 -
Still chugging along here and having some success but I feel like I’m having to be hyper vigilant because I’m less active while off work for the school holidays. And that is a bit draining and perhaps not altogether healthy emotionally. I don’t know - still feel like I’m striving for balance and not quite attaining it.
Oh well. Recap:
Goals for Thursday-
- early exercise ✅
- Water! Bit too much Diet Pepsi and coffee still. But making efforts with decaf and still v hydrated so not beating myself up about this one!
- Stay in calorie goal ✅
- Do 6-8 more reports ✅ did them all - yippee!
- Maybe lunchtime hot yoga no, but I instead got all those report sections done and am now slightly ahead of the game work-wise. Feel so good to have got that done! Plus apparently the heating system isn’t working properly at the yoga studio which slightly defeats the purpose of hot yoga!
- Early night! ✅
Tomorrow’s goals:
- exercise early (try and compete it all before kids up)
- Stay within calorie goal
- Aim for 10k steps
- Take L to pottery cafe
- Spend some time out in the sunshine
- Laundry
- Buy flowers as thank you for V
- Early night
Wishing you all a peaceful and successful end to the week x4 -

Go right ahead and steal away! It's been pretty easy to accomplish for me, but I'm very lucky and have a private office.
I started with a new company 2 months ago and I am working with our Corporate Risk Manager updating policies, procedures, forms. I am rewriting the Dispatcher's Training Manual. The Introduction is done now and he loved it. Now for the rest of the manual! LOL3 -
