Thank you so much for welcoming me into the group!
Had a terrible first day as I look at my check in but my day changed drastically with a friend being diagnosed with an agressive cancer and I took his daughter to her gymnastics class after work. Things like this does put everything in perspective so not beating myself up too much and will always be there for anyone in need. It also makes you appreciate the health you do have and motivates you not to abuse it,
It would be very easy to not make myself accountable for today but that would start bad habits so hear we go!
Tuesday check in
1. Stay under my calorie goal
So sorry to hear about your friend.4 -

9. DH time
We watched a good hearted movie that had a surprisingly dark/sad ending and I bawled like a baby. I am one of the sappiest people in the world. I cry over songs that are particularly poignant and those sappy holiday commericals and things. It's pretty terrible.
I cry at songs, movies, commercials too, I think it just means we're empathetic. What movie did you watch?1 -
@sarah74_vt - what do you do in your shop?0

JFT - Tuesday April 24
2L of Water - Made it to 3 Litres
Stay in Green -
Write in Journal - Realized that I haven't written for 10 days, maybe that has been partly why my mood was down
Work on Manual -
No, but ended up getting lots of other things accomplished
Do 10 Something's -
Call for Dr's appointment -
My foot stopped hurting so I decided it wasn't necessary
Go for Walk tonight - Walked 4.25 kms, my furthest yet. My pace was slower, but I was talking to a friend for the whole walk.
Figure out design for birthday card for Mom and Mother's Day cards - No, but I need to do this, the card is already going to be late for her birthday on the 1st.
JFT - Wednesday April 25
2L of Water
Stay in Green
Write in Journal
Work on Manual
Do 10 Something's every hour
Decide whether to walk or scrap tonight after the kids leave
Set up some interviews for new employees
I had a better day yesterday, writing in my journal reminds me what I have to be grateful for instead of focusing on the negatives in life. I must keep this up! I have been trying to find a route that will get me 5 kms for a walk, I didn't realize how far that was! Last night I walked to a location that I wouldn't have dreamed of walking to two weeks ago. I thought, this is it, by the time I'm back home I'll have made the 5 kms for sure. I even went a longer way back to be sure. Imagine my disappointment when I got home and saw that it was only 4.25 kms! I'll try again, if not tonight tomorrow night for sure! I really think I should make cards tonight for my Mom.6 -
Help! Having a terrible day. Felt tired and sore on my hip again so couldn’t work out this morning. Absolutely exhausted still - I’m sure it’s partly emotional. Cancelled hot yoga to come home early and actually fell asleep on the sofa, which I never do! And now trying to get my kids to bed and they are arguing with each other and being really silly with the poor kitten.
Haven’t had dinner yet but feel weirdly bloated and hungry at the same time. Obviously for junk food rather that what I’ve pre-logged...
Ok rant over. Feel better for writing it down. New JFT which is more like a JFThe next few hours:
- stay calm and get kids’ hair washed and dry and put them to bed happy
- Eat my pre-planned nutritious dinner
- Drink a lot of water
- Maybe have an epsom salt bath
- Get to bed early
Wish me luck and much patience!6 -

Sounds like you really need that bath. I hope your girls settle and you feel better soon. For fear of sounding like an "old mother" try to get a good nights sleep it cures everything. Although it didn't cure my daughter's appendicitis when I sent her back to bed 3 times before taking her to the hospital....5 -

JFT: Do the online study!! (done, yea!)
exercise
drink 8 cups of water: am up to 4.5cups

Thanks @snowflake1968! I am already in bed and am much calmer. Trying to take this moment to be proud and grateful that I didn’t give up and stuck with my plan. I need to remember that this is just as much of an achievement (if not more so) as getting in the exercise or hitting a good scale weight.

Had a really good day today, but very active. Went to the gym, mowed our entire lawn (which takes me almost 2 hrs!), and went for a short 1 mile walk. I'm not sure if its the vitamin that I now take, or the increase in water, but the past 2 days I have really felt good (Maybe its the warm weather and sunshine finally!!).

Been thinking of you today .... and hope you had a good day! Sometimes rest is the best thing we can do for ourselves.4 -
My son called !!! He was in London last week -- so thats why he didn't call me back. I know how busy he is ... he travels on the weeks he does not have his kids.
But why as a mom do we worry so much when we can't reach them. Anyhow, he sounded very happy.... which made this mom very happy 7 -
Hey everyone! I am new to the group and this is my first post! Hoping to make some new friends along the way and get back on track with my diet and fitness goals. I figured posting on here would help keep me motivated because I have been struggling with staying on track for the past couple months.
GFT: go to the gym after my 12 hour night shift and start tracking my food (good or bad, just get in the habit of tracking and worry about eating clean tomorrow).
Yesterday: NA, just joined the group 8 -
