Just a few words about the coconut water:
Many people dislike it by itself bc the taste is acquired. My husband dislikes it more than anyone I know, yet he will drink it when I blend frozen berries with it. It makes kinda a fruity frozen slush and it's very refreshing on hot days.
Also, not all coconut water is created equal. Many brands add extra sugar to try and help the flavor so be careful when choosing. I personally drink the Zico Coconut Water brand bc it has less sugar and it's ingredients IS coconut water. We buy it at Costco but I've seen it at our local grocer and at Walmart (in the water aisle).
Yes, little baby Noah is training me to accommodate his every need! It should benefit me this fall when school starts.......it'll train me for no sleep longterm!! LOL!
@mytime6630 I will post a picture in my "status feed." I'll leave it up all day but then I'll delete it. I personally don't like posting pics of my family online but I know you all want updates on this little guy who dictates my JFT 1 -

Just for today, I will give my body the rest it needs instead of the activity it wants. (Translation: I rested yesterday and my leg hurts *more*, if possible.) I'm going up a belt in karate tomorrow and I need that leg functional, dammit.5

Today is the 9th anniversary of my first smoke free day! My granddaughter is having a minor surgery this morning, so I am picking up my Grandson after school to take him home with me for the night.
Going to be a crappy day at work, we've had a complaint from a client and with me being the Manager I have to answer for an employee's error. This is one part of the job I truly dislike, but I'll put on my big girl panties and deal with it.

Not an official update but I’m so far in the green, I had ham salad for lunch and I’ve had garlic chicken on salad for tea!
Fortunately the two walks to nursery and back has made it so I’m not over!
I only have 125 cals left and I’m just thinking what I can do to survive the night! As it’s only 7.30pm
If I burn an extra 75 cals then I can have a protein shake (I have a meal replacement protein shake)
But even if I’m not hungry I just like munching!
The actual act of munching on something haha
Has anyone got any tips at all to stop doing that, other than attaching a ball and chain to my ankle to stop me getting to the kitchen!1 -

I am right there with you! What helps me is to drink about two cups of water...then I get that bloated, ugh, I don't want another thing, feeling; move: get out the mop, broom, duster, chat on the phone, play a game with the girls, chase your husband (!), anything that serves as a distraction. Give in: have bags of raw veggies and eat those. Plan and prepare: plan your calories out each day knowing you are going to have the munchies. This really helps me. I know I am going to want a piece or two of chocolate. So I plan for it. Remember: Remember why you are resisting, why you are sacrificing...ultimately for your health, but as a mini-goal, don't you have a party to go to? Put the invitation or a reminder on the kitchen pantry and fridge!
Anyway, some days one thing works while the other doesn't.
Ball and chain...bwhahaha...that is such a true picture
What I try to keep in my head:

What I try to keep in my head:
Me too! I just love munching in the evenings. I have a planned snack every evening, I have been very good about keeping my calories in check so I can do this. If I don't I make myself do something to earn it. Dance during commercials, go for a little walk, clean. Something that will help me. I craft too, so that keeps my hands busy and I'm not so apt to eat.1 -
@bex953172 I’m going to distract myself tonight with a bath, shave legs, paint toenails. All stuff that keeps me busy but not too taxing movement-wise because I’m all exercised out! Maybe a bit of pampering could see you through to bedtime? Then maybe have a half serving of the shake instead before you go to sleep? X1
-
I thought this might help us since we all seem to struggle a bit on the weekend. Happy Friday everyone!4 -
Nothing like losing something important that you need to hunt for to keep the munchies away lol!3

Wow I’m feeling so good after finally managing an after work yoga class. I’ve only managed to do the odd few weekend ones when my ex has the kids and I realise I’ve missed it a lot. Going to try and commit to making at least a Friday night one every week.
Otherwise a pretty good day. V pleased it’s the weekend!
Friday goals
- morning workout (only if I wake naturally early enough and I feel up to it) ✅ felt good and strong and worked hard
- 15 mins outside exercise ✅
- 3ltr water
only if you include the water in Pepsi max and coffee!
- 12k steps ✅
- Type up stories (must do!!) did as much as I could during school hours and have brought the rest home. Let’s hope I can decipher 6 year old handwriting/spelling/crazy thought processes without having them here to ask!
- Yoga after work ✅
- Early night - 10:20 not so bad. It’s the weekend after all!
Sat goals
- morning workout
- Stay in calorie goal
- 10k steps
- Get kids new school shoes and trainers
- Pet shop? (Maybe save for half term in two weeks)
- kids homework
Night all and happy weekend x4 -

Just a piece of jewellery lol, bit of tat really but sentimental. Had it a looooong time. But I think I accidentally picked it up with rubbish and binned it
Now as a house with 3 kids and a dog, rooting through yesterday’s bin bag was not pleasant. Nappy’s, dog food, dust from the hoover and remnants of food, worst of all baked beans the thought makes me shudder now lol!!!
Didn’t find it though. So got to check a different one tomorrow. Yay for me. A good 2.5hrs of searching lol
Also.. now it’s 00.15, *technically* it’s tomorrow so I can eat this bag of crisps right? RIGHT?!1 -
