    JFT - Thursday June 21
    2L of Water
    Stay in Green
    Outside 15 Minutes
    Walk or swim tonight
    Write in Journal
    Drop off 10 Business Cards and Brochures today

    I wasn't sure if I would make my walk last night, it is so hot here. I had to also drive the kids home which meant I was away already for almost an hour, but I came home watched the rest of Wahlburgers with hubby. I love their Mom, can't wait for her book to be published. Hubby was going to bed at 9 and I went and changed and went for a walk.

    I have tried to avoid talking on my phone on my walks because it slows my pace but last night even at 9 was still 28 degrees so I wasn't pushing it anyway so I called a friend that is struggling very hard. I was going to only do 2kms since it was so late, but I was enjoying the talk and knew she needed it that I ended up walking 4.8 kms.
    When I got back to the house I was going to sit outside to cool off and finish the conversation but the mosquitoes drove me in. I watched a few minutes of tv, wrote in my journal then felt genuinely hungry. I waited a few minutes and when I still felt that way I had 5 crackers, 1 laughing cow wedge and a handful of grapes with another bottle of water. Ended up having a late night but I felt like it was a successful day.

    I am going to get off here now and go try to get rid of some business cards and brochures. I want to be successful in this and to do that I need to get out of my comfort zone.

    I'll check in later today or see you all in the morning again! Love you all, what a group of cheerleaders!

    @Snowflake1968 I'm supposed to sell for my job but I hate selling. I'm always afraid that I'm going to get asked questions that I don't know the answers to and embarrass myself. It gives me total anxiety.

    My DH closes his store tomorrow night and I don't know what's time D is coming home so I think I might go for a walk depending on the weather. It's supposed to be nice, you never know. Lol. I haven't gone for a walk in a really long time. I think I need to get back into the swing of it.

    So I've done one transaction in 3.5 hours! What the H3ll! I'm actually looking for jobs for D's girlfriend who is moving to the area in a week and a half. Lol. I've already done the filing and explored 3 work websites/programs.

    I'M SO BORED!

    I think I may have to do something about the cookies... No one has touched them. They're just sitting there taunting me! Lol. I feel like I need to have tunnel vision every time I walk into the back.

    I understand that, I know the product I'm selling, it's people. My issue is that I don't know how to convince them that one company is better than another. I have worked in this industry for 20 years here in Edmonton and I don't feel confident in this one. Maybe that's the crux of it right there. I need to sell myself as a manager instead of trying to sell the guards. Well look how that turned out while I was typing. Thanks!

    Avoid those cookies! You can do it!

    JFT Thurs recap
    - Be in the green :)
    - 8 glasses of water :)
    - Walk to nursery x2 :/ just once, forgot about her and was too late to walk lol!
    - Distract distract distract from binging and post on here! :) Yes so far so good!

    The real test is tonight.

    What I did differently today though, was I had lower calories meals for breakfast and lunchX and then with the walk giving me extra calories and the 1.5hrs of cleaning it meant I could squeeze in another meal before my proper dinner. I just had egg and beans, high in protein and fibre. It didn’t fill me up much, but now I’ve had my tea on top of it i now feel FULL.

    So now water through the night. It’s only 7.30 though.
    I can feel myself already thinking of late night snacks but we’ve not even got any food in!

    Sooooo AVOID BREAD.

    You can do it @Bex953172 ! What can you do to distract yourself tonight? Some kind of pampering or craft or something using your hands? I’m just going to go to bed super early I think as, like you, I’ve had a good day and want to avoid temptation! Nearly all ticks below. Happy with that.

    - morning workout ✅
    - April challenge ✅
    - May challenge ✅

    - Stay late and start assessment data inputs ✅
    - Early night ✅ for sure!!

    Friday goals
    - morning workout
    - April challenge

    Carbs can be my downfall late at night. It's about the only time I ever want toast.
    You've got this! Maybe your OH can find something to keep you occupied ;)

    You've GOT this. Way to set yourself up for success!

    i'm too excited to not share my news with all you lovely ladies. My physical therapist was really pleased with how strong and flexible my ankle was today. I'm hoping to avoid surgery on it, so things are looking up!

    Just for Wednesday report:

    1. Adhere to my food plan (having a light breakfast and lunch so I can feast on Ethiopian food at dinner.) :neutral:
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water :neutral:
    3. Physical therapy morning and evening :smile:
    4. 15 minute yoga routine :neutral:
    5. Computer off, kitchen closed, and brush teeth by 10:30 pm...snack attack got me last night :smile:

    Yesterday was...not so successful. I deviated from my food plan, didn't drink enough water, and skipped the exercise, which I am now feeling this morning. Le sigh. Why do I do that when I know the consequences? You'd think after 43 years I would be less of a puzzle to myself!

    Now the good: I still stayed under my calories even though I deviated, and the scale this morning rewarded me with a lovely number... 2 lbs lower than yesterday. It's not an "official" weigh in and I know it's within the range of fluctuations, but it was a nice number to see!

    Just For Thursday:

    1. Log all food and stay under calories.
    2. Physical therapy morning and evening
    3. Yoga! Doing this right after physical therapy this a.m. No procrastinating!
    4. Kitchen closed and brush teeth by 10:30 pm
    5. Drink 8 glasses of water: 2 down and counting!

    Two is such a lovely number, isn't it! Way to go! Now, dig in and stay the course for today. You are already off to a good start on your water. Stay focused and intentional today. Way to go!!
    6wxbpb2cilms.png

    Thank you! :blush: Confession: I did not finish my yoga this morning. I was distracted by my cat. Now that I see this, I have to finish! I want to have a focused and intentional day with 5 smiles!

    Weigh in Wednesday...a day late, and a pound down!

    I started my health journey Jan 1 at 177, am at 154 today. And that one pound was hard work :smiley:

    That's pretty much 1 pound every single week if I count correctly. Very nice work!

    @Bex953172 and @Faebert don’t know if you have them there but Snickers is a chocolate bar here.

    We certainly do have Snickers over here - used to be called Marathon when I was a kid but it was changed I think to be in line with the US.

    They don’t have Snickers bars in them but the two giant (30 in each) bags of mini chocolates that my aunt and uncle bought for the kids this week are certainly snickering away at me! My older daughter is going to take one bag in to school today to share with her friends to say thank you for all their help with her broken arm. They have been so sweet - writing cards and carrying her school bag for her. Might have to send the other bag with them to their dad this weekend (especially as he told me he’s trying to lose a couple of pounds >:) )

    @nickssweetheart and @jeschepp - look at all those smilies and ticks!! Way to go!

    Happy Friday all. Finishing a coffee and will workout soon. I’ll see you all back on here later - hopefully with a bunch of ticks of my own. X

    Let's be wise this weekend! Here are some tips that help me when I am going out. Feel free to add to them!

    Log everything you are planning on eating BEFORE eating it! Even if you have to guess it's still better than nothing.
    Get some kind of exercise in, at least one day.
    Eat a portion (1/4-1/2) of your food when eating out. Eat the rest the next day.
    Eat light, telling yourself you can always have more if you are hungry.
    If you want dessert, log it and consider having salad for your entree.
    Google some lighter alcoholic drinks and decide how many you are going to have beforehand.
    Place chips and bread away from you
    Tell your friend/partner what your plan of action is before you go out to eat.
    Choose dessert or alcohol but not both.

    Avoid eating out of anger or boredom!


    Keep being focused and intentional. It's the only way to see progress!!!

    Peace and joy people!!!

    Agree weekends can be a real struggle - some great tips for eating out there @toaljasa

    Only thing i would add is to make sure you drink plenty of water during the day before going out for a meal, especially if you’ve eaten a bit lighter than normal to prepare for it.

    And not to sweat the water weight gain after it! X

    Major victory - not overweight anymore! :):):):):)

    So chuffed with this. I've been very successful this week (had a few calories left over the week overall) and as a result a few pounds just dropped off.

    Just 4.5 pounds to go until my goal weight! When I get there, I might decide to lose more, but we'll see. I'll evaluate how my body looks at that point. The main thing is I want to get rid of tummy flab as much as I can. Because of last year's operations, I have a big scar just under my tummy which means that any flab I have kind of hangs over it in a really unattractive way. I'd like to have no/less flab to hang over it! But, I also like eating so I might have to put up with that, as my goal weight might be the lowest I can go without having to eat less than I feel comfortable with.
    ...

    What a success! B)B)B)

    Let's be wise this weekend! Here are some tips that help me when I am going out. Feel free to add to them!

    Log everything you are planning on eating BEFORE eating it! Even if you have to guess it's still better than nothing.
    Get some kind of exercise in, at least one day.
    Eat a portion (1/4-1/2) of your food when eating out. Eat the rest the next day.
    Eat light, telling yourself you can always have more if you are hungry.
    If you want dessert, log it and consider having salad for your entree.
    Google some lighter alcoholic drinks and decide how many you are going to have beforehand.
    Place chips and bread away from you
    Tell your friend/partner what your plan of action is before you go out to eat.
    Choose dessert or alcohol but not both.

    Avoid eating out of anger or boredom!


    Keep being focused and intentional. It's the only way to see progress!!!

    Peace and joy people!!!

    And now for a bit of humor that might hit a little too close to home for some of us, lol

    Agree weekends can be a real struggle - some great tips for eating out there @toaljasa

    Only thing i would add is to make sure you drink plenty of water during the day before going out for a meal, especially if you’ve eaten a bit lighter than normal to prepare for it.

    And not to sweat the water weight gain after it! X

    Yes, water helps tremendously in getting that full feeling. The other night when we went out I bypassed the alcohol and just had water. I didn't feel deprived and easily ended up with half my meal in a take away box. Thanks for the reminder.

    Just for Wednesday report:

    1. Adhere to my food plan (having a light breakfast and lunch so I can feast on Ethiopian food at dinner.) :neutral:
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water :neutral:
    3. Physical therapy morning and evening :smile:
    4. 15 minute yoga routine :neutral:
    5. Computer off, kitchen closed, and brush teeth by 10:30 pm...snack attack got me last night :smile:

    Yesterday was...not so successful. I deviated from my food plan, didn't drink enough water, and skipped the exercise, which I am now feeling this morning. Le sigh. Why do I do that when I know the consequences? You'd think after 43 years I would be less of a puzzle to myself!

    Now the good: I still stayed under my calories even though I deviated, and the scale this morning rewarded me with a lovely number... 2 lbs lower than yesterday. It's not an "official" weigh in and I know it's within the range of fluctuations, but it was a nice number to see!

    Just For Thursday:

    1. Log all food and stay under calories.
    2. Physical therapy morning and evening
    3. Yoga! Doing this right after physical therapy this a.m. No procrastinating!
    4. Kitchen closed and brush teeth by 10:30 pm
    5. Drink 8 glasses of water: 2 down and counting!

    Two is such a lovely number, isn't it! Way to go! Now, dig in and stay the course for today. You are already off to a good start on your water. Stay focused and intentional today. Way to go!!

    Thank you! :blush: Confession: I did not finish my yoga this morning. I was distracted by my cat. Now that I see this, I have to finish! I want to have a focused and intentional day with 5 smiles!

    Good for you! You'll be down another pound in no time---you are working hard at it.

    On a scale of 1 to a billion how many calories do you think I burnt!

    P.s. it was mostly heavy stuff like milk, vimto (3L!), tins (“cans” for the USers :lol: ) potatoes then everything else!
