Wed 1/10
1. log all food
Even the pizza hut pizza
2. be mindful of what I eat. Ask myself.... are the calories worth it .... and think Even though I did eat more than I had intended to with the pizza, it could have been worse. I had a salad before eating because I was SO hungry after working outside most of the day (Yes .... it was like 50 degrees today!!!! .... tomorrow will be in the 20s!)
3. when craving something .... wait 10 minutes..... sort out sock drawer. If I still want it.... then have it While I didn't get the sock drawer cleaned, I drank 3 glasses of water, and went right to sewing. Gee .... 5 minutes later, I don't even remember that I was craving carbs tonite!
4. drink water Loving my new water bottle! I also bought one of those little "squirt" water flavors, and this is helping me also!
5. get back on here ... be accountable
JFT, Thurs 1/11
1. go to the gym
2. log ALL food

French onion soup recipe
50g butter
1 stick celery
1 carrot
6 large onions
1 red chilli pepper
Fry above until onions gorgeously brown/caramelised.
1 beef stock cube - make up 1-1.5 litre stock depending on strength/how much you want, and add to the fried vegetables. Cook for a few mins.
Makes at least 4 servings.
Not for you but others may want to cut a slice of bread into cubes, coat and fry in a tbsp of olive oil and then grate 25g of cheddar cheese on top of croutons.
Yum.
Less than 400 calories a serving (including the cheesy croutons!)
Looks really good - thank you for sharing!4 -
Weekly weigh-in
Starting weight Jan 3, 2018: 176.0
Aiming at 150ish
Progress so far:
Jan 10: 174.8
Jan 3: 176.0
January goals
Under 175. Less would be better but I'm aiming low as I have a couple of birthdays.
Finish Mark's quilt and mail off.
Medication on track. I tend to forget a dose when unscheduled things pop up and then don't feel well.
Continue, from before seasonal challenges, decluttering entry.

Bueller? Bueller? ;D
Do the minimum until you feel better. A walk in the fresh air or a 30 min meditation with breathing could help.
Love the Bueller reference
