I check the calories on everything I eat. Tbh I never even realised that this was mindful eating! It's actually a habit I've formed it would seem!
So. I guess my problem is that sometimes even though I've checked the calories I eat it anyway LOL.
Eat a small portion, reasonable with your calories and see how you feel after before you scoff the lot LOL.
I thought of you tonite @Bex! I wanted a snack, and remembered I had some sugar-free Klondike bars in the freezer. But then my words to you came back to me ... I would enjoy this for only a few minutes, then still be hungry, and most likely eat another one (or 2!).
So you saved my day -- I had some cereal and milk, and now its water!!
That is so great that you check calories first ... something I am terrible at doing! Yes, I do call that mindful eating. You are just making the decision to go ahead and eat it ... but so proud of you for only eating 1/2 of the muffin! You got to have some to satisify the yummy taste buds, and then a beautiful salad!!
Your salad looks great -- what do you have in it? I can see the avacoto (I know thats spelled wrong though) ... but what else is in it? It sure does look good!!1 -

He is fond of saying that the only one I used that knowledge on was him. Unfortunately, he was right. I bottle everything up and then explode! I have done well since January this year and haven't had that happen once. He calls me out if he thinks I'm just saying something to avoid an argument or tough discussion. It seems to be working for the most part.
I have no one to vent to about my work issues though. I report directly to the VP so it would be very unprofessional for me to complain about him to anyone.
Snowflake it took me years and some pretty intensive therapy to get to a place where I (for the most part) feel confident and assertive with speaking my truth. It takes time and many many many uncomfortable growing moments. What finally clicked for me was a mentor that said "how sad for your friends that you don't believe they are strong enough to be there for you." Ugh. Never thought of it from that perspective. As long as you keep taking small steps, you'll get there. I totally understand the work situation, and it stinks. I found that having personal supports to vent to was enough until things changed.3 -

Well when I make salads what I do is I get a bowl and put it on the scale, I add item at a time and weigh each item putting in, and just tare it back to 0 after each ingredient
First I add mayo
Then salad leaves
Then chopped mushrooms,
Tomatoes
Spring onion
(normally I grate a carrot in too but not today)
I added a little salt and pepper
Then stirred so it's all mixed and got a coat of mayo and pop that onto a plate
Then I added sliced avocado and sprinkled a little cheese. And that was it!
But you can add anything to it as a protein topping, HB eggs, ham, chicken, fish, anything really.3 -
Yesterday was a success apart from water!
Didn't do an exercise but had took eldest to the park so I'd gotten out the house and burnt some calories that way!
Same goals I normally have today, although not exercise, I've had 4 hours sleep and would much prefer to rest than exercise!6 -
Yesterday was successful, in that I stayed mobile most of the day. That gave me such satisfaction, that I found myself having to remember to eat to get my calories in... I hope everyone here has super success in reaching their goals... I sincerely mean that.
I believe that the slightest accomplishments are grand victories👏5 -

This is what I love to hear! Losing weight is not just a number on the scale ... but a journey to overall health!I've had to seriously consider what needs my time and energy - because I'm prone to over extending myself and melting down. I'm learning to say NO. to things that do not serve me. NO. is a full sentence - I don't need to explain myself all the time. I am my number one priority right now - and it feels so good to be a little "selfish" after years and years of trying to pour for others out of my own empty cup.
And it is never selfish to put your own needs first. Remember the story about the oxygen in the airplane ... put your own oxygen mask on first, before you put it on others. It took me years to learn that, and I even struggle with it at times myself. But if we are not healthy ourselves, it is hard to be there for others! So proud of you!
Thank you!!! Going to remember the airplane anecdote anytime I forget!3 -

Yesterday I achieved my promise not to eat cheese or sugar, so success. Today, however, out for lunch where I ate half a small scoop of ice cream, but because I haven’t eaten anything sweet for 6 weeks it tasted so sweet I didn’t enjoy it, so that was a success too. I never ever thought I would not enjoy ice cream. Proof that our tastes can change, so no more ice cream for me. 😎6

Pick up car ✔
Clean my mom's car ✔
Put gas in mom's car ✔
Stay within 1409 calorie goal ✔
Survey storm damage to the roof: No, but it stormed again last night, so it may be good that I waited.
Goals for today:
Survey storm damage to the roof
Pack for Iceland
Stay within my 1409 calorie goal
Water plants
I'm keeping my goals simple today because I'm not sure what Iceland prep its going to look like. My goal is that by the end of today I'm pretty much ready to go on the trip because I work for the next four nights and then we leave!!3 -
1. Adhere to food plan and stay under goal.
2. Drink 8 glasses of water before having a diet soda.
3. Grocery shop and food prep (sweet corn season is finally here! Let there be rejoicing!)
None of this happened. I am so, so sick. I finally gave in and ordered my groceries online to pick up this morning and couldn't make myself get out of bed this morning to pick them up. Yesterday was my day off but I'm going in today at 3 if I can eat successfully.
Goals for today:
Drink enough water.
Find something to eat that I can keep down.
Make it through my shift at work.5 -
I didn't sleep at all last night. Don't know why, but I didn't try to force myself to sleep, didn't take anything to put me to sleep.
So I turned a negative into a positive... I worked out. I marched in place to music through two songs, did knee lifts, 3 sets of 5, which is a very big deal because I have arthritic knees. Did some windmills, and finished off with some reading. When I got back in bed it was after 6 this morning.
Nope, I'm not going to beat myself up over it,, instead, I'm going to love myself more by setting the atmosphere of my bedroom to RELAXATION mode.
My DO'S FOR TODAY:
1- GIVE SOMEONE A HUG
2- CLEAR SOME CLUTTER
3- EAT A SALAD
4. DANCE
5. MAKE A SCHEDULE THAT WILL MAKE THIS JOURNEY MORE SUCCESSFUL
Thank You Everyone For Posting Your Victories and Your Struggles.

Currently 90 cals over!
Easily rectifiable, especially with the amount I'm gonna have to tidy because of the girls.
Although I'll probably have a snack late on tonight around midnight (this is my one snack @mytime6630) I know I shouldn't have it past 9 but I've made the exception because we're gonna be painting again tonight late into the night so will need to have something. Although I will be burning calories too so probabky just even out!
Got my eye on the garlic bread
Also @mytime6630 where are youuu! Can't be your diet coach if you're not here!
Haha
Hope you got your water in and stayed in the green!2 -

Ha ... I'm here!! (Warning ... I'm in a bad mood today LOL)!!!! Been outside today cleaning out the garage ... and mad at hubby for making such a mess LOL!!!!!! And ... it is like 95 degrees out! But I just took another shower today, and drinking my water. Now I have to go and do some work that actually helps pay the bills!
But I usually post in the evenings ... my days are crazy busy sometimes! But I did great last nite ... and so far today all I've eaten is 2 eggs and sausage ... time for lunch I think!
What are you painting?? Now remember .... only one snack tonite!1 -
Checking in to post progress...
Cleared some clutter√
Danced√
Salad and schedule... WAH WAH WAH!...LMBO😁
Missed the mark on the last two. Had great nieces and nephews running around inside due to rain and untamed energy in them kept concentration level at a minimum...😨 that's how I was looking for about two hours... Lol…!
Anyway, "THE SUN'LL COME OUT TOMORROW"🎶 I'M ONLY A DAY A WAYYYYY.. (Did you see my tonsils when I was singing that note)

LOL I couldn't imagine you in a bad mood!
We're painting everywhere lol!
Every room has one feature wall and the rest is white. (not brilliant white but a more toned down but still white? Jeez aren't paint colours complicated to explain!!) anyway on the white walls we put loads of bright colourful pictures/canvases up and that brings the colour into the room.
We like to keep it all white because it's cheaper to just buy one colour and smaller tubs of feature wall paint.
So we're doing all that, my partner has done most it. I normally love painting but ive just really not been in the mood!
And then we have to gloss all the doors and frames and skirting boards etc
Then fill any unused holes from old pictures or whatver and sand down and paint them.
We've bought "endurance paint" this time.
Can wipe anything off it and is kinda waterproof.
Childproof more like LOL!

Made me giggle!
I love that you dance for activity! Do you just put on music and dance around the house or is it a workout video? Or do you do classes of a particular dance? I enjoy the Body Groove videos because it's easy on my joints and I can move however I want (I have absolutely no dancing skills whatsoever).1 -
Eugh forgot to say before...
I took "before" photos.
They are truly awful, if I'm honest, I thought I looked better than what the pictures show so it was a bit of an eye opener.
Really need to get this scale going down!0 -

PackerFaninGB... Lol…, yes I just put the music on and allow myself to dance without any structure... I think it's called flailing around... LMBO😂
After a day of those children, I had to release or emplode... I'm just kidding. I love children, I'm just not on the level I once was with the noise, high pitched shrieks, and all that great extra stuff no one tells you about when it comes to children...
I may have become a prime candidate for Xanax after babysitting today..lol….
Noooo, better idea💡 ..Dear Parents of these Darling children.. You owe me a paid weekend at the beach!!!
Yay!! Me!!!1 -

JFT, Friday, Aug 3 ( Day 3 of starting over for the umpteenth time!)
1. Log all food
2. concentrate on water - 8+ glasses
3. go out for a short walk Went out and got a bike for our daughter, and didn't get home until 9:30 pm.
4. mindful eating - I THOUGHT I did mindful eating ... eating a sugar free klondike bar. I need to be more like @Bex - and look up calories BEFORE I eat it. It was 190 calories -- for sugar free!!! So, I am over with what I wanted to eat .... since I had too much snack
5. plan saturdays meals Going out to eat tomorrow nite with friends ... so hoping to get to the gym, and eat lightly all day.
6. August challenge - close the kitchen at 9pm, and 1 snack only before that time. Our daughter found a used bike she wanted for only $50.00 ... so by the time we got that, it was 9:30 pm. I had already eaten a SF Klondike bar, which I thought was 100 calories. But when I was logging in my calories ... it was 190.
But this was after I ate a small amount of popcorn and a glass of wine ... at yes, 10:30!! So, bad today.
JFT, Sat
1. log all food
2. go to the gym
3. concentrate on water
4. plan food ... eat lightly since going out to eat in the evening
Starting weight Aug 1: 197.2.
Goal weight for Sept 1: 190 (I know this is agressive, but I gained 3 lbs the past 2 days, so I am really hoping those pounds will come off quickly, and the rest ... well... I'm going work my butt of to keep the challenges I set.
August Challenge: Plan just ONE evening snack, then close the kitchen
8/1: Evening snack was a hard boiled egg, kitchen closed at 9pm
8/2: Planned on a HB egg, but had 1/4c. raisin bran and some milk. It is now 9:15 pm - so a little later, but only because I wanted to color my hair first!
8/3: Was out late, and had a glass of wine at 10:00 -- hubby wanted popcorn, so I had a very small amount, but still ,that was at 10:30!!! But ....... I still did not eat too much, just that the klondike bar was way more calories than I thought. Lesson ... look up calories FIRST!1 -

Did the klondike bar not have the nutritional values on the wrapper?
Over here almost everything does! And then we introduced colour coded nutritional facts because people looking at it still didn't understand if it was good or bad, so we have red, Amber, green based on the average persons recommended daily allowance of nutrients.
Just because you went over does not mean you weren't being mindful! You had a small portion of popcorn, a small wine and a klondike bar that you thought was okay. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as you thought it was but thats not your fault really.
Sometimes the calories in things can be suprusing!
So I think you've done well Tbh!
And sometimes you have to make an exception on the time because life does happen at the same time! And if you need a snack at 10:30 because you've been out all evening then have one. If you weren't out I'm confident that kitchen would have been closed!0 -
