Wed 1/10
1. log all food Even the pizza hut pizza
2. be mindful of what I eat. Ask myself.... are the calories worth it .... and think Even though I did eat more than I had intended to with the pizza, it could have been worse. I had a salad before eating because I was SO hungry after working outside most of the day (Yes .... it was like 50 degrees today!!!! .... tomorrow will be in the 20s!)
3. when craving something .... wait 10 minutes..... sort out sock drawer. If I still want it.... then have it While I didn't get the sock drawer cleaned, I drank 3 glasses of water, and went right to sewing. Gee .... 5 minutes later, I don't even remember that I was craving carbs tonite!
4. drink water Loving my new water bottle! I also bought one of those little "squirt" water flavors, and this is helping me also!
5. get back on here ... be accountable
JFT, Thurs 1/11
1. go to the gym
2. log ALL food

French onion soup recipe
50g butter
1 stick celery
1 carrot
6 large onions
1 red chilli pepper
Fry above until onions gorgeously brown/caramelised.
1 beef stock cube - make up 1-1.5 litre stock depending on strength/how much you want, and add to the fried vegetables. Cook for a few mins.
Makes at least 4 servings.
Not for you but others may want to cut a slice of bread into cubes, coat and fry in a tbsp of olive oil and then grate 25g of cheddar cheese on top of croutons.
Yum.
Less than 400 calories a serving (including the cheesy croutons!)
Looks really good - thank you for sharing!4 -
Weekly weigh-in
Starting weight Jan 3, 2018: 176.0
Aiming at 150ish
Progress so far:
Jan 10: 174.8
Jan 3: 176.0
January goals
Under 175. Less would be better but I'm aiming low as I have a couple of birthdays.
Finish Mark's quilt and mail off.
Medication on track. I tend to forget a dose when unscheduled things pop up and then don't feel well.
Continue, from before seasonal challenges, decluttering entry.

Bueller? Bueller? ;D
Do the minimum until you feel better. A walk in the fresh air or a 30 min meditation with breathing could help.
Love the Bueller reference4 -

This is a WIN in my book!5 -
Recap W 1/10
1) When alarm went off 5:30 a.m., hit snooze 2-3x & seriously considered skipping treadmill, but thought of #3 below and I got up! NSV right there. Walked 3 miles before work / 50:18
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 13,015 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom! 3 days in a row!) & 34 floors
3) More leftovers for lunch / happy hour with former colleagues after work...preview menu online for order, stick with selection. Better yet, skip eating at pub & eat when get home, but that may be hard to do if I'm hungry. Enjoy 1 adult beverage while catching up with friends. = Previewed pub menu and, surprise, surprise, choices that appealed were salads! Think I'm missing my fresh foods from farmers market. When I got to pub, and friends had perch plate with french fries (which I love), I didn't even change my mind & ordered yummy cranberry walnut salad on spinach and romaine. Think I'm tired of all the rich, high cal foods eaten since Christmas, and my body wants healthier foods. Also enjoyed 1 pint beer (lite). Not sure of accuracy of log / net calories red 22.
4) 1 thing on to-do list when get home = More surprised, checked a bunch of items off, even did some I forgot to list!
5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = 3x done!
JFT R 1/11 - Rest day. Was scheduled for workplace snowshoe hike at lunchtime, but overnight January thaw & temps in mid 40s, lots of snow melted & very sloppy out. Event changed to walk. If raining (likely), then walk canceled. Thaw will be brief, temps plunge to 30 by 5 p.m. then into deep freeze for coming week. Just in time for 5K event I'm walking in Fri 7 p.m. Oh, the joys of living in Wisconsin!
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
2) Net calories w/i 100 green & > 12c water
3) Evening: choir, start to pack up rest of Christmas decorations (lots of trips to basement), maybe get WiiFit out
4) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:157 -

@JezebelBoo Good luck with your test.
@chollawan48 Welcome. This is a great little community and grown so much since the new year. Thank-you @joan6630.
Anyone... almost all of us seem to have problems with work food. Then we go home and there's Christmas leftovers. Why not take those Christmas cookies to work and leave them for other people? At least they'll be out of your own house because freezing cookies just doesn't stop me.
@joan6630 That's another reason I love my studio/hobby. Escapism, distraction.
@penko47 Your steps are amazing!
@slittlemeister Mmmmmm cheese. You did great!
@specialoccasionsbysarah What do you do for your shop?
@OConnell5483 That snooze button is deadly, though when I'm super tired I've been known to not even hear the alarm. Thus the last item I put on my list almost every day.
Crossing off... I've noticed a couple people are starting to cross things off their list. How are you managing this? Also, can you go back to do it more than once or do you only do it when you edit your post or repost? I love crossing things off lists.6 -

Crossing off... I've noticed a couple people are starting to cross things off their list. How are you managing this? Also, can you go back to do it more than once or do you only do it when you edit your post or repost? I love crossing things off lists.
When you are editing in your post on the website (not on the android app) up by the B for bold and I for italic there is an S with a line through it for strike-thru. in the BBC code you use a s within the open and close brackets, where for bold there is a b and for italics there is an i.

Crazy day again. Up since 3:30am with sick child and then covering so many ill people at work! Late setting goals but will come back on here at bedtime to check I’ve hit them all!

At least 2 litres of water -
At least 15,000 steps -
Stay within calorie goal
Early night
Nearly the weekend! X5 -
Crossing off... I've noticed a couple people are starting to cross things off their list. How are you managing this? Also, can you go back to do it more than once or do you only do it when you edit your post or repost? I love crossing things off lists.
The way I would do this is quote your original post, take out the quote coding so the [ quote = *your username* and the [ / quote ] at the end, this will make it an original post but without having to retype all your goals
And [ s ] is what strikesthrough the wording. And [ / s ] is what ends the strikethrough.
So if you’ve completed them all you can do it from the start and end of your post.
Or if you’ve only completed a couple of goals you would but the [ s ] at the beginning of that goal and [ / s ] at the end of that single goal.
So you could technically edit through the day but would mean a lot of reposting or you could complete your day and cross off what you have or haven’t done at the end of that day
I hope that makes sense. And also take the spaces out the coding lol3
