@mytime6630 I have the same issue! I get motivated and lose it, except I'm motivated every morning and most of the day which I then lose around 7 pm every night. Why can I not go to bed without grazing first?!
Looks like I didn't list goals since Tuesday. I'm going to list right not for tomorrow so I don't forget.
Just for Friday:
1. No hitting Snooze button
2. Journal every bite
3. Hydrate, 64 oz water
4. Low carb choices
5. Reach my step goal
6. Evening wind down routine
Keeping it small. I need to get these to become habit. Then I'll add more.
@Bex953172 That's awesome about Casey's smile, and sleeping through the night too. So happy for you, mama!

I was struggling with the same thing, I found that if I keep to the snack I enjoy the most in the evenings it tends to satisfy me 95% of the time. I leave enough calories each day to fit in an evening snack because I know I'll want it. It's a battle some days though.4 -

Work on Manual
Try to leave work early after long day yesterday
I didn't do as bad as I could have yesterday, I was taken out for lunch which was a surprise I hadn't counted on and was hungry around suppertime. The highway only had gas store/convenience stores and a Burger King. I avoided all of the chips I truly wanted and had a burger and mozza sticks, still not the healthiest but I knew they would fill me and I wouldn't want to eat when I got home too. So I'm calling it an achievement.
I'm being pressured by my VP and owner to sell business. I had told them in every meeting I had before accepting the position that I am not a salesperson and not comfortable in this role, they told me they would get the business and I would manage it. That was my agreement, now they are changing the rules. I'm not sure I like that.
This is going to be a busy weekend but I'm looking forward to it. Tonight after work I am delivering the envelopes and getting my nails done. Tomorrow is my first swimming lesson! I am praying that I can overcome my fear and really embrace this. I want to be able to trust myself to take my grandchildren swimming someday. Right after swimming I am going to an Antique Show with my youngest and some of her bridesmaids. That will be 4 hours of walking. Tomorrow night I may try to convince hubby we should go out for supper. Sunday I have to clean, do laundry and I am babysitting the grands for the first of many Sunday's to come. They always visit me on Sunday the only difference will be their Mama isn't there to visit with me and change the dirty diapers LOL
Have a great day everyone!2 -
April goals
Under 163
Medication on track. I tend to forget a dose when unscheduled things pop up and then don't feel well. X2
Studio twice+ /week
Work on pink/blue quilt to be completed and on my bed! So close!
A couple other small projects.
Declutter entry further. It’s not actually an entry, per se. It’s a multipurpose room that we enter the house through. Laundry, storage, recycling, coats and shoes, etc. I want it less junky and I want less stuff in my space at any rate so I need to put more effort into this. 7 boxes so far

@Snowflake1968 "Tomorrow is my first swimming lesson! I am praying that I can overcome my fear and really embrace this. I want to be able to trust myself to take my grandchildren swimming someday"
Good for you! I had a near drowning incident when I was 13 and then at 18 two of my uncles died in the same accident from drowning. Ever since water makes me nervous but when I had little ones I decided I couldn't insist on lessons for them if I didn't know how to swim so I signed myself up. Just take it slow and let the instructor know why you're nervous so they can help. The first couple of dips may be difficult. I found it much easier if I faced the edge of the pool rather than the middle and didn't look out at the large expanse of water.4 -
@snowflake1968 good luck with your swimming lesson tomorrow!
What exactly about the water do you fear? Definitely tell your instructor and they will help you ease into it!2 -

Thanks, I was held under when I was 7-8 by a couple of boys that thought it was funny. It was in the deep end. Ever since then, if I can't stand up and get air I won't go in. I can make it back and forth across the shallow end, but if I start to panic I stand up. I am hoping that I can be confident enough to go in a deep end at the end of all this. I want to go to the waterpark in the Mall here with the grandkids and feel safe going on a slide and take them swimming without panicking if they get too far from me.4 -

Thanks for your encouraging words. My girls and husband are all fish, both of my girls were in Sea Cadets one is a sailor, level 1 instructor. I am so thankful they learned and didn't let me stop them. Sorry to hear about your Uncles.
