    Argh i didn’t manage to check in last night and it’s so busy on here again!!

    Yay to @cschmitz110515 and @snowflake1968 on the losses! Cheering for you! And a big high five to @maryrobinson40 for the extra activity and steps. You sound so energetic and positive about the health changes you are making! @slittlemeister and @HEGoddard0928 glad you’re feeling better.

    Shout to @Bex953172 for just being stellar support to everyone on here. You always have some words of support and advice. I hope the kidney infection is all cleared up and you are feeling good.

    @PackerFanInGB you look great and it is very inspiring to hear how you are straight back into it all after the surgery.

    @mytime6630 glad your reunion was good and lovely to have you back.

    Sorry if I’ve missed anyone...

    Loving all the laundry banter - mine has now been folded and made its way from the dining table upstairs. But couldn’t put it all away as the kids were asleep. Actually - confession - I could have put my stuff away but I was too lazy.

    Fell off the wagon a bit yesterday. I had some reasonably good news and decided that I was going to ignore my food plan and no weekday alcohol policy in order to celebrate it.

    I need to not do this again! I will never reach my goal weight if I do.

    Things to do to celebrate other than eat/drink:
    - Put on a celebratory song and dance around
    - Take some pictures to mark the event (even if it's not a big event)
    - Buy a Big Issue to spread the good fortune
    - Call someone to tell them about it
    - Write what I'm happy about in gratitude journal
    - Paint my nails bright/sparkly colours
    - Blow up balloons....?

    I'm going to take a screenshot of this list and save it to refer to in future!

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Stick to food plan :/
    - Eat slowly and mindfully :/
    - 3 bottles water :/
    - No alcohol :/
    - 5+ fruit/veg :smile:

    - 30+ minute lunch break :smile:
    - Meditate :smiley:
    - Duolingo & French book :smile:
    - Leave work at 6.30pm :smile:
    - Watch Bake Off! :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :smile:
    - Lights out by 11 :smile:

    Today will not be a celebratory day. It's the 5-year anniversary of my dad's death today. Feeling ok so far but it's only 8am :smile: I'm at training today which hopefully will keep me occupied. This evening me and the boyfriend will be treating ourselves to fish & chips to mark the occasion. My dad liked those a lot and it's become a bit of a ritual. I will try not to eat too much outside that treat though.

    Today's commitments:

    - Stick to food plan (which includes SMALL fish & chips!)
    - Eat slowly and mindfully
    - 3 bottles water
    - No alcohol - I need to deal with emotions today, not drown them

    - Use breaks to do direct report's review
    - Duolingo & French book
    - Check out whether evening church is possible
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights out by 11

    Those anniversaries never seem to get easier do they? I like the way you are remembering your Dad by having his favourite meal.

    So I looked at a TDEE calculator today and put in my stats. I marked myself as sedentary as I sit most of the day at work. I try to get some exercise each day, but don't always succeed. According to that I need 1219 calories a day. I am trying to get away with 1050 Net each day. Maybe I need to try upping mine for a little bit. Although today I had a loss. My BMI finally shows only overweight instead of obese! This is such a game of numbers I'm never sure what to do.

    I have read that under 1200 and your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto weight. I forgot to factor in exercise calories and first and realized I was often closer to 1000 daily calories, which left me feeling weak and hungry all the time. I actually had better weight loss when I kept it to 1200.
    Congrats on the BMI win!!

    I have also read that too few calories will sabotage weight loss. Personally, I would be starving & very cranky with too few calories. :p I aim for net calories zero, after I log my exercise or activity (my Fitbit and MapMyWalk are not linked up to MFP, just the way I do it.) Found a great thread on too-few-calories topic:
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10569458/why-eating-too-little-calories-is-a-bad-idea

    ETA: Go to Page 1 of the thread link! There's a fantastic write-up that explains, in part, about how MFP sets up your the calorie allowance, and logging inaccuracies. Apparently, MFP intends for you to eat back calories burned.

    P.S. Don't know why my ETA didn't show in my feed at first. Sorry for the double-post!

    Thanks for the feedback, I think I will try to eat at 0 for a bit and see what happens. I find this a very slow process this time compared to other times I have lost weight and it's a bit frustrating. Hopefully it means that it will be more successful over the long haul this way.

    "Starvation mode" as generally described isn't possible. If you expend 1000 calories of energy in activity, that energy has to come from somewhere. A lot of that "activity" is stuff like breathing, maintaining your body temperature, organ functions, heart beating, stuff like that. That's your "NEAT" - Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (energy use). For most of us, that's the bulk of our calorie expenditure. On top of that, you have calories burned through exercise and deliberate activity.

    The thing is, neither NEAT nor exercise is always 100% accurate. If you exercise a LOT, you may feel more tired and end up walking around less at work, which means you might be burning fewer calories than you thought. If you undereat, you may have similar issues with calories in; you're hungry all the time and you end up underestimating how much you're actually eating.

    1. Log all food! Be accountable!😀 Even though I didn't want to!
    2. Call OFP and set up appt😁 It's a wait and see thing. If that doesn't work, next step is orthopedist
    3. Food shopping!😀 Had a good sugar crash as I was leaving and almost passed out but it's done... For moment. Still need the BBQ stuff
    4. BBQ prep discussion😆 Just had it about 5 minutes ago. Lol
    5. Take out trash!😀 Had to take it all the way up to the front of the property because I forgot it was garbage day. Lol. But it's done at least
    6. Wash sheets😀
    7. Take out pork chops to defrost for dinner😀 Were really really yummy. DH was pleased
    8. Dinner/Dishes😆 Forgot I left the frying pan soaking in the sink last night
    9. DH time(Be present. Put down the computer) 😆 Thunderstorm passed through last night so I had to dog sit for my parents since she's TERRIFIED of storms. She tried to climb into my lap... She is NOT a lap dog
    10. Bed whenever(I love vacation!) 😀 After 1. Lol.

    Hello, my dear friends! How are we this fine afternoon? I almost said morning because it feels like a morning to me! I only got out of bed about an hour ago. Well, that's not entirely true. I got up at 10:40 because of the cat and stayed up for about an hour, then laid back down because of a headache that came on quick. But now it's 1:11 and I have a bunch of computer work to do this afternoon. I also have to run to my doctor's office about 20 minutes away because I have to drop off some paperwork for him to sign. It turns out that Matt qualifies for Family Medical Leave and they are required to keep his job for 12 weeks and we can keep the health insurance as long as we pay the $96 premium every month. He also may qualify for Short Term Disability, so that will help a lot as well. So I get to work on all of that. There are a few other things I have to work on today. The doctor's office closes at 5 pm. Hopefully, I can get everything over there by that time.

    I have been faithful in logging my food the last week but not in being in the green. Now it is starting to become a habit and I'm feeling less and less shameful for my calorie intake. I think that next week I am going to start working out again. I need to start building better habits. I gained about 15lbs since I started working in March. This is totally unacceptable. My clothes are getting really tight again. I am not happy about it. I want to be 155 again by the end of the year. I have about 7 pounds to go to get there. So today I am going to start over.

    Okay! Onto goals!

    JFT, 9-26-18

    1. Log all food. Be accountable
    2. Watch portion size
    3. Get rsvp's from BBQ invitees
    4. Fill out paperwork
    5. Drop off paperwork
    6. Dinner in crock pot
    7. Look into Express Scripts
    8. Do some sort of activity (Gym? Yoga? Something!)
    9. Bed a bit earlier than last night

    Recap T 9/25 ~
    Got some very good news yesterday: Thanks to more inaccurate (should I say, misleading) employer communication (this time by HR dept.), both my manager and I had misunderstanding about eligibility rules for wage increase. Once HR explained to boss lady, which she then explained to me, in the end, I will get the wage increase. We were both relieved! Yay! :D

    J

    That is FANTABULOUS news! And relief for you as well. Communication: It's a wonderful thing!!!

    Good for you!!! I had a misunderstanding like that once due to HR comparing my job with a totally different position and saying everyone in our dept was getting a 7% raise that year except for me and my partner. I threw a fit! I was so upset when I went to my manager. She spoke with HR and found out that they had not been doing our market study increases correctly for many years and my partner and I ended up with an 18% raise that year! Sometimes it pays to question things like that!

    So happy for you! Congrats!

    @slittlemeister I am sending you big hugs from over here in the US. I hope you can feel them. I think going out for fish & chips is a lovely way to celebrate your father's life and memory. :heart:

    Hi Everyone🙋
    JFT
    UP AND AT IT!
    DETERMINED TO GET MY WORKOUT...SO FAR I'VE MANAGED 2 THIRTY MINUTE INTERVALS OF EXERCISE...🙌😀

    Yay ME!!!🙌 IM EASILY CLEARING 5,000 steps now...
    NEW OBJECTIVE FOR THE NEXT 2 weeks.. TRY TO EASILY CLEAR 7,000 steps.
    Cut out sodas completely... Drink Green Tea (hot)
    No eating after 7:30p.m.
    Kick efforts up a notch on exercises...
    No Breads, No Fries...Do Cauli/Broccoli instead
    Reminder⭐ FRUIT IS MY NEW DESSERT, ⭐CELERY, CARROTS, CUCUMBERS will be my NEW CRUNCH N MUNCH (No more chips)
    Bed By 9:30

    THESE CHANGES SHOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!

    Zoodles instead of pasta!
    Could you do vegetable fries? (argh we call them chips over here LOL) Like parsnips or carrots? Over here we can buy frozen "rainbow chips" and it's basically just parsnip carrot and beetroot cut into chip shapes lol!

    Any potato based things for dinner I switch for salad, pasta I do Zoodles, or I just give myself extra veg and boil an egg for on the side!
    I don't have a rice substitute yet, so I just have smaller portions because I don't really like Cauliflower

    Youve smashed it today well done!
    Yayyyy... @Bex953172 ... Great tips! I haven't seen the beetroot or parsnips here, however, I probably will find them in our Whole Foods store or EARTH FARE store... Hadn't heard of Zoodles before either.. Needless to say, I'm greatly appreciative of the advice and am always open for suggestions or any help I can get that's healthy for me.
    Shucks, it wasn't until a few years ago that I trained myself to drink hot tea. Lol….
    We so called Southern Ladies love our Sweet Iced Tea and Lemonade.. Why, for some of us, drinking sweet iced tea is a time honored tradition. Preferring it over sodas, and water even. And a lot of places put emphasis on the "Sweet" until the tea almost tastes syrupy... Awful health wise though.
    AnyWhoo... I definitely am making positive changes.
    Thanks again💖

    Years ago when I tried iced tea, I didn't like it. Thought: I'll add sugar. To sweet tea. Hated it more. Finally discovered there is such a thing as UNSWEET tea. I LOVE unsweet tea. When I was in China, I was also the only American in our group that ordered /drank tea. In China. All the others ordered coffee. I got terrific table service. :wink:

    Love how you're changing things, a little at a time. Those are the kinds of changes that can stick. Go Mary!!! <3

    @cschmitz110515 and @clicketykeys Thanks for the information and considerations! Great feedback!
    @HEGoddard0928 I am so sorry for your family's loss. I will keep you both in my thoughts. I can't imagine dealing with such loss.
    @mgrThiagoSilva Welcome! Sounds like you've got a great start!

    Today was a turnaround. Work is still stressful, but I emailed a strong yet professional email to the director regarding my PTO (eek!). It was very scary but I feel I deserve those hours! So stress will continue for a bit, but I feel I've been better able to manage it today. Balanced my food better today so I wasn't starving at the end. Made a fantastic new recipe tonight-suuuuper tasty. I think sheet pan recipes are my thing now! I'll put the link below. I used broccoli instead of asparagus and added cherry tomatoes. Seriously yummy.

    Wow! going down a level in BMI is great progress. I try not to eat less than 1200 calories a day.

    @jeschepp I like your recipe and your For Today list with the check offs. I used to do run walk intervals and loved it. My doctor said no more running.
