    Morning all

    Little tired here after a very late night at a party last night. It was about an hour’s drive away and by the time I’d dropped some friends home it was around 2am when I got to bed. But I’m really proud of myself for staying on track. I had a good time although felt very very sober once the dancing started (I was designated driver by choice but it’s tough when everyone else is super drunk!).

    This morning I’m going to work out then have a quiet coffee by myself before I head to pick up the girls. May treat myself to a nap later but def a gentle day!

    Good Morning JFT friends.

    Haven't lifted much over the summer but lifted weights yesterday. Even with less weight on the barbells, I'm really feeling it. I have to stop overthinking and just take action. So glad I got back to the gym.

    Post my results from health challenge.
    Post weight on Happy Scale.
    Pretrack meals with a goal of 1600 calories.
    Get back up to 150g of protein (made good progress yesterday).
    Track water-feeling dehydrated (almost at my goal yesterday).
    All meals & snacks will be eaten sitting at a table (a few more days of this effort and I think the habit will return).
    Walk dog in neighborhood.
    Church at 10am. Be patient with my daughter who is joining me today.
    No bingeing after church.
    Try a yoga class online.
    Meditate 25 mins.
    Evening walk.
    Plan menu for week.
    Lights out at 10:00pm.

    Remind myself that healthy habits can be easily revived. I have to ignore the desire for a quick fix...

    If I had the choice would I:
    A. Lose weight quickly and reach goal with a great chance of regaining weight?
    B. Lose weight slowly with healthy habits so that I will most likely maintain the weightloss?

    Have a great week!

    Had a great day crafting yesterday with my eldest daughter and her best friend. They “ran away from home” to get a break from children. I truly believe every mom with young ones need that and they try to do it once every 3 months or so.

    We all worked on our own projects and we all Kush about finished.

    I am off in about an hour to go spend the night with my cousin 2 hours away. Her hubby left got s course today so we’ll probably stay up way too late and eat too much junk. I’m going to try to stay within calories but truthfully I’ll enjoy myself too.

    I'm keeping things simple. Overall, my eating habits are BY FAR my biggest weakness and the biggest thing I want to change, so I'm sticking with that.

    I'll eat 3 times today - no snacking.

    No eating anywhere but at the kitchen table. The worst is after dinner, lots of wasted calories.

    @PackerFanInGB ThredUp is an online consignment shop...kind of. Pretty much it's a website where people send in their lightly used clothing for store credits to buy other people's lightly used clothing but you can also just spend your own money. I love it soo much. If you buy things that aren't final sale you can send the pieces back no questions back for store credit to buy other things. They have every size imaginable and clothes from Walmart and Kohls to designer clothes right off the runway. It's pretty crazy. Go check it out. Last week I got 16 items for $54 including shipping.

    WOW! I was 150 posts back! It's been almost a week since I have posted. I dont know why. It's not like I haven't had the time. I just haven't had the motivation. The weather has been so bad here this week. It's been SUPER humid. After smoking for 10 years, doing anything in high humidity makes it really hard to breathe. I describe it as breathing through a wet wash cloth. It has rained this whole weekend as well. And it has cooled down significantly. It's not supposed to get above 70 today when it was in the 90's the past week. Definitely a drastic change. I dont mind too terribly though. I like cool weather so much better than hot and sticky.

    The DH has decided that we need to have a barbeque for my birthday in a few weeks. I wasn't sure if we were going to do anything. I didnt want to bring it up but I'm glad that he is going to put something together. I'm not sure that he has told my parents yet though! Lol. I share a birthday with my BIL's daughter so over the last few years my birthday has revolved around her and TBO, I've been kind of jealous...is that wrong? But the DH wants to celebrate me this year :smiley:

    So I had lunch from a deli today but I am going to record it all. It's going to depress me but I really need to stay accountable. We have been getting a lot of takeout the last two weeks and really need to get back on track to eating healthy again.

    So onward and upward!

    1. Log food!
    2. Do laundry
    3. Put food in the crockpot
    4. Eat some of the fruit I cut up yesterday
    5. Pay bills!
    6. Dinner/Dishes
    7. Spend some time with the DH
    8. Tech off by 10:15
    9. Light off by 11.

    Aaaaaaand I've gone and ruined the day again!
    Just putting marley in bed, I was holding her pretty awkwardly and shes hit her mouth on the edge of the crib and her teeth have punctured her bottom lip.
    She wasn't not happy at all. Lots and lots of blood. Her lip is purple and fat as anything.
    Fortunately it stopped bleeding after 5 mins with pressure and she's being her normal self. So I think I will pass on the A&E trip.

    Just typical. And shes starting nursery tomorrow. Not a good look is it. *sigh* give me strength.

    Oh Bex!!! I'm so sorry!! Hopefully the swelling goes down over night! I think the nursery aids will know that she is a 2yo and accidents happen. Don't think it makes you look bad! At least she is being hey normal self again.

    Today was a milestone for me. I finally hit 175 pounds! This is meaningful because 1) it is the halfway point to my weight goal since I started in January-hooray! and 2) this is the weight I can never get to, and then become disheartened and pack the pounds back on. To me this marks the point of no return. From here, I feel, I have shifted from the pattern of ups and downs and half commitments toward a life of healthy eating, and a default of healthy habits. Proud of myself on this one!

    For today:
    30 minutes exercise ✅
    Track food and exercise ✅
    5 good groups ✅
    Water challenge-80 oz. :(
    Gratitude: today I am thankful for meeting weight loss goals! This is not my sole focus in getting healthy, but it is great to see some results from all the hard work!
    Post here for accountability ✅

    For tomorrow:
    30 minutes exercise
    Track food and exercise
    5 good groups
    Water challenge-80 oz.
    Daily gratitude
    Post here for accountability

    I was expecting chaos. I was pleasantly surprised to see Casey and Marley sleeping and Saskia had tidied up. Without being asked. She even swept!
    I was instantly cheered up, not because she tidied (well yeah that) but that she actually saw I was stressed and thought of my feelings enough to help me.

    She didn't even ask for any sort of reward.

    Abd then she goes "right let me help in here! And gets the pot towel and starts drying the pots!
    Someone's cloned her surely lol!

    This is the sweetest story --- what a precious little girl to see you were stressed, and do all these things for you! Great job, mommy! You have taught her well! And nowadays, that is a great trait for her to do all these things, without asking for a reward! You should be so very proud!!

    Sleepless in London here! I have got to sort myself out it is just not sustainable to only have 3-4 hours sleep every night. It’s like I fall asleep no problem but once I’m awake that’s it. And it’s always too early. Tried to nap yesterday but it didn’t work. I think I need to make early nights a non-negotiable September priority because I just can’t stay asleep.

    Anyway, yesterday I did ok for most of the day but the evening was a bit of a wreck food-wise. Always do better in the work week though so going to put it behind me and move on!

    Sunday goals recap
    - morning workout ✅
    - Put away laundry ✅
    - Tidy room ✅
    - Walk and coffee ❎ went for walk and dinner out with the girls instead
    - Pick up girls ✅
    - Rest ❎

    Monday goals
    - morning workout
    - Trim worksheets before start of class
    - Set up Good as Gold list
    - Stay within calorie goal
    - April to sep challenges
    - Fill in absence request form for day of sister’s op
    - Book appointment
    - Finalise Thursday plans for P
    - Call alarm company
    - Early night - keep cat downstairs??

    1. Log food! :)I really didnt want to because I was over calories by more than 500 but I did it! I kept myself accountable and did it!
    2. Do laundry :)And I folded it! I'm actually really proud of myself for that. Usually, it just stays in the bag and then ends up all over the floor
    3. Put food in the crockpot >:)Ended up making a skillet dinner. Orange Chicken with rice and a green salad
    4. Eat some of the fruit I cut up yesterday :D...I ate an entire cantaloupe...I definitely hit the September challenge yesterday!
    5. Pay bills! :)Just a few more left.
    6. Dinner/Dishes :)The orange chicken was surprisingly spicey. I think I need to add fewer pepper flakes. But did the dishes right after so the only thing in the sink atm is my spoon from stirring my coffee. Lol
    7. Spend some time with the DH :)We found a way that I can be a part of his video game chat without actually playing so I spent the evening "hanging out" with him and some of his friends while he played. It was actually pretty fun. Lol
    8. Tech off by 10:15 :)We were actually in bed before 10. The DH had to get up around 6 because he had to be in early.
    9. Light off by 11 :)See #8

    Wow...I didnt realize that I hit all of my goals yesterday! That's really exciting! Hopefully, it'll start today off on the right foot! I'm going in to work late today so I got to sleep in for a bit. The DH left at 630 so I had the bed to myself for an hour! Now it's really quiet in the house though. It's pouring outside too. They're calling for thunderstorms today with a high of 77F. I guess summer really is over. That transition was very quick. It was 90F last week and it didnt get above 65F yesterday.

    Yesterday turned out really well though. I got a surprising amount of things done. We also went to Walmart to pick up a prescription and a few other things. However, some time between going to bed on Saturday night and waking up on Sunday morning the DH sprained his ankle. It's the strangest thing! Thank God a friend of mine gave me an ankle brace a few weeks ago. But the DH is spending his last week at the store doing a product move. So he has to do a lot of lifting and bending and carrying heavy things. It cant be good for the healing process.

    Okay, enough chatter!

    Onto my goals for the day!

    1. Log all food!
    2. Bring lunch to work
    3. Clean a bit before work
    4. Work 915-515
    5. Call ND and OFP on my break!
    6. Refill DH's meds
    7. Decide on dinner and actually make it!
    8. Dishes right after dinner!
    9. DH time
    10. Tech off by 10:15
    11. Bed by 11

    I hope everyone has a great day!

    Simple goals again today
    1. log all food :)
    2. sept challenge - 5 veggies :/
    3. drink water!!! :/

    Today I did it ... I threw out a "almost" entire container of Blue Bunny Ice cream,and a full bag of candy corn!! This time of year last time I got derailed .... and it started with those stupid candy corns (you know, the ones where you can buy an entire bag for just $1.00!!). But after eating a bowl of ice cream .... and opening up the bag, realizing that I'd probably eat the whole bag... I threw it in the trash. And actually walked it out and put it in our trash bin so I can't get it back. I do so great for about 4 days .... then .... I slip. And it takes me about 3 days to get back with it. This has been going on since last October!
    I guess I have to want it bad enough. But .... I keep at it.
    So, for tomorrow, simple goals again

    JFt, MOnday,
    1. log all food ... eat mindfully, eat like a normal person, and stop when I am full
    2. concentrate on water -- 8+ glasses
    3. sept challenge -- 5 servs veggies

    Way to set an example! It's so hard to switch a habit mid-step, I'm proud of you for setting your mind to it and following through. I am also struggling with the pattern of having a few diligent days, then I slip. I do find that I slip less now, which is worth giving credit to. One step at a time, right? :)
