Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
Nearly, I had a small hot chocolate and yoghurt extra but that was not much (c. 100 kcals)
- Do not eat ANY pizza! Well there was no pizza at the workshop but there were free chips, sandwiches and biscuits and I did not have ANY! Am very proud of myself
- Read response cards twice, including 'emergencies' cards once Did it once, but I did include the emergencies ones and they were really helpful - probably part of why I didn't eat chips!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Do walk or exercise DVD today
- 30 min Lunch break
- Leave work by 6.45 latest

Well this morning was interesting. For some reason the alarm(that was properly set) didnt go off. Thank goodness I woke up when I did. The DH got showered, dressed, and out of the house in 15 minutes. He should make it to work on time. He had to take my car though because his was covered in ice and he didnt have the time scrap it all off. For some reason mine was clear. Probably because my car has more sun exposure. Anyway! Lol.
About to get ready to head out to get needled(my way of saying an acupuncture treatment) and have some coffee with M&M. It's been a few days since I've seen them so I'm excited. I miss them a lot. Lol. They are like second parents to me. I always have a blast when I am with them. Lol.
I hope everyone is having a great morning!
@junodog1 I hope you are well!5 -

Scale goals
November: 183.6
December: 176.6
January: 174.6
February: 173.6
March 1: 172.4.
March 31 goal: 170.4
Today: 178.6 - I just have to keep an eye on the fluctuations and make sure that the upward ones don't become trends. My rate of loss is so slow right now that it's easy to lose track. I guess that's what maintenance is like. I wish it was as easy as it was when I started, but I have to remind myself that I /don't/ wish I weighed as much as when I started!
@OConnell5483 - I'm definitely a get-things-done kind of person! As a result, though, if I don't keep a list of what I'm working on, I forget about a lot of it. So I have a big list, but it's kind of ongoing. I do try to be gentle with myself about not getting everything on the list done every day. Or... any day, really XD5 -

Do you go to yoga at the gym or at home?

Also.. I want to see this corgi!!3 -
Pulled out 4 dresses last night. All sized 10-16. I wore the 10s in 2010! Tried on the 16 (can't zip it!) & it was a real eye opener as to how much work I need to do. I was avoiding the reality of my situation by wearing stretchy materials & layers. I remember vividly wearing each dress except the 16 b/c it still has tags. Last week I took out a tape measure to measure my waist and I know I've got to get the number down.
I know if I can make progress, I will feel better physically & emotionally.
Have a great week everyone!
I can SO relate! This was one of the reasons I wanted to lose weight - I have so many pretty dresses, and hubby always loves it when I wear dresses. Some, like yours, still have the tags on them. But all I wear, even when we go out, is jeans, and a baggy shirt or sweater.
So after reading your post - for the first time - I also took my measurements!
We are going to get there! Just keep thinking of all those beautiful dresses you want to wear!
Yes! We will get there. Can't wait to fit them all!4 -

Recap W 3/7
1) Treadmill before work / 3 mi 49:19 / stretched
Even washed hubby's work clothes while walking (he keeps "forgetting") 
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 13,150 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 31 floors. Pretty good considering haircut after work & evening Lenten service.
3) Leftovers for lunch / choose wisely at soup supper (limit breads & desserts) / net calories w/i 100 green = At supper had 1/2 slice bread and 1 oatmeal raisin cookie + 2 soups / best-guess logged & net calories -229, sodium & sugar red, fiber & protein good, 12c water
4) Evening: haircut / soup supper / Lenten service / 1 to-do = put away laundry
5) Unplug 9:00 9:30 / floss tired & just didn't do it / retainers / bed & TV 10:15 (treadmill Th a.m.)
JFT R 3/8 - Too many snooze alarms / listened to my body & taking a rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
2) Leftovers for lunch / not sure of supper (trying to locate recipe) / net calories w/i 100 green / monitor usual
3) Evening: choir / wash dishes / at least 1 to-do
4) Unplug 9:00 (seriously!) / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (treadmill F a.m.)
@OConnell5483 My "floors" are recorded on my Fitbit Charge HR. It only records going up, not down, and is based on changes in elevation, not number of steps...if I remember correctly from my reading when I first got it. That's why I get "floors" counted when I walk dog. Hubby gifted Fitbit to me for Christmas 2015. I don't wear it to bed, but put it on first thing in the morning, usually.
@Bex953172 Loved your comments about our snowblowers, and driving. I guess I'm just used to it where we live. Glad you got Casey home safe and sound!
@joan6630 and @toaljasa You and your daughters are in my prayers. (((hugs)))
I'm behind reading posts since some time yesterday, will catch up with everyone later. Have a blessed day!4 -
Hi! I'm new here and I've been struggling with my weight my whole life. I have a 3 year old and a 7 month old and I'm really trying to commit to a healthier lifestyle for myself and for them.
JFT I commit to:
- Drinking at least 100 oz water
- Being conscious of what I'm eating (I don't have a meal plan per se)
- Continuing to workout during the workday (I usually do a few sit ups or arm exercises with my resistance bands throughout the day)
- Doing some sort of cardio/ab workout at home tonight
- Cooking salmon/broccoli/cauliflower for family for dinner
Thanks for the thread and the JFT idea - hopefully it takes some of the edge off of this process!! 5 -

Good luck on the callback!2 -
JFT, Wed
1. log all food
2. go to the gym - even though we got snow tonite. I scrapped off the car, so hopefully I won't have to scrap the windows in the morning. Had 3 glasses of wine before bed tues nite
3. concentrate on water - remember what that red cup is for
4. post positive things. No one want to read about all my problems. Concentrate on the positives --- and like @toaljasa said --- let go of the things I cannot control. In spite of daughters car problems yesterday --- sewed instead.
5. read beck diet solution -- concentrate on mindful, slow eating Back to reading these again - and it is helping. Thanks @slittlemeister for reminding me!
6. get back on here -- be accountable.
Busy day yesterday and today, and a stressful day. But .... I can't control some things ... so I just sewed and took my mine off of them. Thankfully daughters car can be fixed for $600 - but at least it is fixable.
JFT, Thurs
1. go to the gym. Already done!
2. concentrate on water
3. try another new recipe tonite (maybe chix lasagna). I've been flagging new recipes, and trying them. Makes dinner more fun!
4. work on business stuff
5. sew another row on my quilt - I have just 24" left, and the quilting will be done
6. work on chemo hats -- 25 more cut out to sew
7. get back on here- be accountable
8. read beck diet solution --- read response cards --- eat slowly - be mindful of what I eat
9. remind myself of how I CAN look this summer if I stay on course. Remember those pretty dresses I want to wear5
