I'm having problems with my log in now. And I did what was suggested and nothing works. I just skipped the log in with Facebook part and tapped community and it placed me here, but can't log my food/exercise.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Forgive my lack of manners this morning.
😍 GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
Hugs and love to all of you. I'm emotionally almost tapped out.
Too drained to exercise this morning. May try to get it in later.
And I apologize, but I haven't read any of your JFT posts to even remotely know what's going on...please don't charge it to my heart.
I've come to love and care about all of you in this Sisterhood of SUCCESS and genuinely hope that each day we wake, is better than our yesterdays.2 -
If you feel yourself burning out, do something about it before it overwhelms you. I know about being a perfectionist, and it will stress you beyond belief. Try to be happy with the 95% solution This is your life, and you are supposed to enjoy it! Can you hire someone to help with the household chores? We all need down time - a bit of time to reflect and savor our accomplishments. I truly believe that stress will cause you health issues down the road. It did me.Does anyone ever simultaneously feel they should be doing more, but also less? I am quite behind at work and with house chores, but feel I have no time! I told a colleague how much I had on my schedule at work and she agreed I really need to cut back. I'm a perfectionist and it's hard to look at cutting back as anything other than a failure. However, I'm burning out where I am at, and cutting back will help me be more effective in the long run, rather than doing everything with half ability. Anywho, thanks for *listening* as always.
Coworker had fresh sweet corn today for grabs (4 mins in the micro and DONE) so I made an Indian tomato soup and a tilapia dish I love along with it. Pretty good spread!

Good evening... I'm not sure what's going on with my body... I may be undernourished... Now that may sound crazy, but listen. I have to eat what I can get. Many times there are no veggies, or fruit. I have been faithful to this program since I started it.
I've been hitting the exercises pretty hard for me. We're talking as far as real exercise goes.. I wasn't doing any. Only walking. Since I have been on here. I exercise until I sweat. I have actually become addicted to it I think.
But like I said haven't been eating right, nor have I had an appetite.
I feel good when I'm exercising... I'm satisfied and therefore, bye bye hunger.
I completed 3,860 steps tonight and as soon as I began moving, that sick feeling I had began to go away.
Mary, you are doing fantastic!!1 -
Just for today - I will not stress about going over 1200 calories last evening. Today I will eat at home and make the healthy choices I usually do. And I will get 30 minutes at least on the treadmill, even though my back still feels wonky.5

JFT - Friday August 17
2L of Water -
Calories in Green by 150 -
over by 800+
Outside 15 Minutes - I'm keeping this here, because if the smoke clears I'm doing it. I miss it! -
Only 1 Evening Snack - after my meals I shouldn’t have had any though!
Walk - Leslie Sansone - again too smoky to walk, tried to do a video but we live in a mobile home without AC and can’t open windows because of smoke. It was just too hot. Tried to go swimming but had trouble doing even one lap without a child or a toy floating into me. I guess all the parents took the kids swimming to avoid the smoke too. I don’t blame them.

Yesterday was an insane day food wise, it’s over and I’m forgiving myself and moving on. I have lots planned today that should help me balance out the week.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Thank you for caring.
Oh Mary ... I am so so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Having lost 3 brothers and a sister, I know the pain in losing a loved one. Take good care of you. Hugs

I had a very similar day .... too much stress .... way too tired .... and used food as comfort. But you are so right .... today is a new day. One day is not going to hurt you when you balance out your entire week. I hope you have a great day today.2 -
After a day of mindless eating yesterday ... from being over tired ... not enough sleep ... worrying about things I cannot even control, tomorrow is over. I am off to a good start today with going to the gym, and plan to just keep busy.
My goals for today are:
1. work in the yard. This is the best stress reliever, and instead of extra calories in my body .... my yard will look great.
2. go to the gym .... already done to start the day on the right foot!
3. go to the grocery store and stock up on alternative snacks ... not ice cream that is loaded in calories.
4. concentrate on drinking water
5. in the evening ... sew on the new quilt I am starting, and have my water glass with me

So I did ok for most of yesterday but got a bit snacky in the evening again. I really need to work on the August challenge for the remainder of the month. I’m not spacing out meals properly and head into the evenings too hungry to make sensible decisions. So my priority until the return to work is to try and balance my days even if I don’t have a solid routine.
I think this is also part of my problem. I don't eat much at all during the day, but usually have a bigger dinner. But its after dinner in the evenings that I am just always so hungry. I do know that it is probably thirst, not hunger, so I am going to concentrate on that also.
But good for you for recognizing what might be the problem, and trying to balance out your day!3 -

I forgot today that today is Take-away day. We don't actually get a meal from a takeaway, we go to the supermarket and buy premium brands of food and make our own takeaway, so today it was curry, so we bought organic corn-fed chicken, an expensive sauce, poppadoms and naan and made our own "take out". My partner made it though, and he threw in a spoon of a chilli sauce we got and it made it SO hot. I just checked the bottle and its a mixture of habenero and scotch bonnet chillis 🤪
So I definitely got my water in haha! Although I'm pretty sure that just spread the heat round my mouth LOL.
Ive not logged any of my food since breakfast so no idea if I'm in the red or green.
Ive been kind of not with it today. I accidentally took the wrong tablet this morning, instead of a standard paracetamol I took one which was mixed with codeine LOL so I was drowsy most of the morning!
I'm just gonna leave the rest of today now.
Try do better tomorrow. I need to write my goals in my notebook so I don't forget what they are in the day!2 -
I was wondering if any of you would mind signing a petition for me?
Next Tuesday (21st August) should be my little boy Samsons 3rd birthday, but some of you already know that i had to terminate him as ge hadca less than 5% survival with his condition.
As he was born at 23+5 weeks in the UK any time before 24 weeks means he is not classed as a still born but a miscarriage, meaning I am not allowed a birth certificate, this is a petition to try change this

Ohhhhh my god. My nice relaxed evening has turned to fixing teddy and dinosaur!

Gonna have 2 unhappy girls in the morning!5 -
@Bex953172 happy to sign the petition - pls post a link. And good luck with the toy rescue!
Had a good day today. Was challenging at times - I find weekends where it’s just me and the kids lovely but sometimes a bit lonely without other adult interaction. Anyway, got loads prepped for the lunch at my place tomorrow. Big supermarket shop and made the lasagne ready to go in the oven tomorrow and have veggie sides prepped. Also doing roast chicken with all the trimmings and some salads. Plus garlic prawns to start and roasted peaches with amaretti biscuit crumble for dessert. And have an extra person coming so 10 of us altogether! Been so long since I entertained - not had this many since before my ex left!!

The doctors took him off the ventilation last night, he's holding his own..he sat up to eat some soup this morning. It's a wait and see time for us.
You and all the ladies on here are terrific. Words can't express my appreciation and gratitude for all your support... Thank you.😅🌹5 -
Oh I’m so sorry @maryrobinson40 - hugs to you.
@Bex953172 - hope you get some answers from the doctor. From reading posts you’ve been so exhausted with the kids waking you etc. Could be just extreme tiredness making you nauseous? Try and look after yourself. X
@snowflake1968 - thanks for the sympathy on the uniform. It was a killer - the blazer alone that was £70 when my older daughter got it two years ago is now £90. Painful...

My sister, whom I live with, is on her way to see him. I'll keep you and everyone updated. Thank you for the support🌹💕💕3 -
I am just sitting down for the first time except for about 5 minutes since 930 this morning. It’s now 530 here, not sure if I’m going to get laundry done tonight yet or not. Hoping too so I have tomorrow a bit free.3

@Bex953172 I signed your petition. Good luck. I truly hope it passes.
@maryrobinson40 Praying for your brother and your family.
@Faebert Hope your lunch went goes well! Sounds delicious and fun! 2 -
Not posting goals today. We received news this morning that my husband's younger brother passed away in a motorcycle accident last night. It's been a very quiet, solemn and heartbreaking day. I'll try to hop on tomorrow and get with the program again. Tonight is just for consoling my honey.
@Bex953172 I'm doing good on your quilt! I forgot to answer you a few days ago. it's coming right along. It is going to be the size of a twin size bed though...sure isn't a tiny baby quilt!

Oh Tracy, my heart just sank when I read this. I am so so sorry! Words cannot even begin to express how very sad I am. It is so hard to lose a sibling, no matter how, but unexpectedly like this is heartbreaking. Glad you are there for your hubby, and I'm sure he will be there for you as well. Hugs and thoughts and prayers to you. 3 -

My heart goes out to @PackerFanInGB on her loss, and to @maryrobinson40 for the strength you will need.
and @Bex953172 ... definitely I will sign your petition. I cannot believe at 23 weeks they consider this a miscarriage and not a birth. You definitely should be having a birth certificate. I lost mine at just 12 weeks, and I still remember that day. Its a day forever in your heart. Hugs to you
We all worry about what numbers are on the scale. Days like this put all that into perspective .... enjoying each and every day is what truly matters. I feel like we are all family here ... we all know each other so well. So when one of us hurts, we all hurt. Just know I am thinking of you all. 4 -

@PackerFanInGB .… My heart is with you and your hubby.. I haven't logged anything either because the site is not functioning properly. I can't log in with my Facebook account. I followed the suggested steps from the troubleshooter, nothing works. I click on community and message you all.
Anyway, with all that's going on in both our lives..we can take a guilt free breather, and be there for our loved ones. Hang in there. We're here for you too.🌹🙏 love you.
