I feel like this group is my main coach, but I think I also need an individual who knows me and can help me in person also. So, I'm thinking of talking to my husband about it. He is my biggest supporter and cheerleader, and nobody wants me to be healthy more than he does. The problem I see with it is, i'm so comfortable with him that if he scolds me, I have no problem snapping back. Could turn into hurt feelings really easy if I let it. He has told me many times he will do whatever I need to help me eat healthier. So, I know he is willing, but I worry about the arguing. On the plus side, he certainly would know if I was eating badly, since he does the grocery shopping! LOL
My second thought is asking my daughter to do it. She actually managed a couple of Weight Loss clinics for years and was a Wellness Coach, and she is very knowledgeable about diet, exercise, etc. I know she'd be good at it, but due to family drama, our relationship is a bit strained right now. So, maybe if I ask her to do it, and if we just met once a week for coffee to sit down and look at my food and exercise journal for her to give me tips to improve, it would be neutral ground and keep us in contact?
Am I putting too much thought into this? I really probably only need this group, but I really want to give it my all and make it work this time...so I've been really putting a lot of thought into it.
I am having a rather waste of a day today. I'm still not feeling well and my hip and back are really acting up, so I've been down again today. I think I overdid it Wednesday and Thursday on my feet without proper support, and now I'm paying for it. It feels like it did before hip surgery and that's not a good thing! After I get done here, I plan to do some stretching and exercises and hopefully that will help those muscles. Then I hope to go downstairs and sew this afternoon. Working on some hotpads and towels for the adult kids for Christmas. I'm still waiting for my friend to finish Bex's quilt so I can sew the binding on! Her son got sick so she hasn't had a chance to work on it since I was there.
Have a great Saturday everyone! I'll hop on later to see how everyone's doing!
I am using all of you as my diet coach, but my hubby questions my decisions sometimes. I personally would go with my daughter in your situation. Hubby might be too close.3 -

It's only 4:30 but it feels so much later! It might have to do with the fact that the sky gets so dark now. I'm attempting to focus on water today but I'm having a hard time. I dont know why but I haven't even finished my first 32oz. I'm usually up to 64oz by now. I told myself that I have to at least finish my first water before I can drink anything else. At least I managed to remember to food in the crockpot for dinner. There will be a lot of leftovers too because I added a whole extra large chicken breast to the recipe. I'm going to start bringing salads with leftover meat and juices to work for lunch again. I enjoyed those and it's super easy to prep.
It's really quiet here today! I hope everyone is okay!
@Snowflake1968 I hope your show went/is going well!
@Bex953172 I hope you kicked it today! And dont feel bad about 9:30! I didnt move until 12!
@PackerFanInGB I should probably have a diet coach too but no one close to me is all that healthy either. I need to make eating right a priority. I need to stock up on healthy treats when I get paid next. But I can't use my lack of a variety of snacks as an excuse to keep eating junk for the next few days! I have to be held accountable and actually do what I know is right and healthy!
Okay enough for now! Have a wonderful evening everyone!
Thanks! I’m a little disappointed with the shows this weekend. I think if we do this again next year I will. It do it Black Friday weekend, I seem to recall last years being a bad weekend too2 -

Morning all, hope Thanksgiving was good.
Had such a long day yesterday. The appointment was good, all the staff were lovely and made things very clear. I am confirmed as high risk for breast cancer. They are doing - and will do - more tests to give me an even closer risk factor but I have set in motion the process for surgery. Scary but feels like the right thing to do. Tired this morning from yesterday so taking a rest day but I have training this morning at a school on the other side of the city and plan to walk half of the journey as an active recovery day. And walking from work to hot yoga tonight.

A productive day for me yesterday. Did a huge clearout downstairs and loads of exercise on top so feeling tired but contented this morning. Heading to boyfriend’s place shortly and will walk the five miles to the overground station rather than taking the tube so I can get some activity in today without overdoing it. Then plan to eat a nice big brunch with him - he’s been working hard again and needs a bit of looking after!

Good morning everyone! It sure is a quiet weekend. I hope all are doing well. I just got back from church. It was a good service. Now I'm going to relax for half an hour and then get started doing stuff around the house. We've had this frame of a shed hanging out outside for like a month now so we are going to put the walls and floor up today. Then I might take a short walk. It's beautiful out today and I want to enjoy the sunshine. I just have to wait for my phone to charge first. Lol. I need to get the laundry started too. It shouldn't be more than one or two loads so that's nice and easy. Plus the walk up to the house and back will help me get some steps in as well.
I hope everyone is having a great morning/afternoon! I'll pop back on later to check in.3 -

Well I had a heck of a workout this afternoon! There has been a metal frame for a tarp shed just sitting in my side yard for about a month now. The DH and I finally succeed in wrestling the rest of it together. I then spent another hour filling it with stuff from my bedroom that I needed to get out. Now I have plenty of room to do some at home workouts and they dont have to be insanely early in the morning so I dont disturb the DH. I am very happy but very very tired. Lol. Tonight is definitely going to be an early night if I dont fall asleep on the couch. Lol. I have a few chicken breast cooking in the crock pot that I am going to keep in the fridge for some easy weeknight dinners. I'm also going to use some of it to make my super easy honey sesame chicken for dinner tonight. Using precooked chicken cuts the cooking time in half. And since the chicken is already shredded it looks like a lot more food on the plate as opposed to just cut up chunks of chicken. Lol
Still kind of quiet! I hope it gets busy here again during the week. I miss everyone!4 -

1. Take temp upon waking
The cat was a jerk and woke me up a bunch of times so I wasn't able to.
2. Weigh inWill post when I am done with this
3. Up at 7
8am. See #1
4. ChurchHad a really good time. The DH didnt go but sometimes I like going alone and just spending time with my parents.
5. Batch cook chickenI even cleaned it up too! Lol
6. Do laundry!My Dad did most of it! It was very sweet of him.
7. Fold damn clothes!!!!!FINALLY DONE!!!
8. Cook dinnerDidnt add enough honey to the recipe...
9. Be present with the DHWe spent most of the evening "chatting" with a friend while they played video games but we did watch a bit of hockey
10. Bed by 10!!!I actually did this! After fighting with the shed and then moving all the boxes out of the house into it I was utterly exhausted. It probably would have been earlier if the DH didnt "demand" we get ice cream. Lol
So it's 5:40. I woke up 10 minutes ago. I couldn't sleep! How annoying. The DH came to bed around 2:30 and after that, I tossing and turning and waking up every hour. I figured what the heck I'll get up now and go to the gym. So I guess that is what I am going to do when I am done with this.
I mentioned wanting ice cream yesterday afternoon so the DH demanded that we go get some last night. It was around 9pm so we ended up just going to our local convenience store to get it. I picked up a pint of light ice cream so I could eat the whole thing and not feel guilty about it. Seeing as how I worked my tail off yesterday afternoon I had way more than enough room calorically for it.
It's Monday and I dont want to go to work. Although I dont know many people that really ever want to go to work on a Monday. Lol. It should be fine though. It will probably be slow. Monday's usually aren't too exciting. At least I hope it won't be.
Okay, enough chatter. If I want to go to the gym I had better go now before I talk myself out of it.

Just got to try again tomorrow and forget today, one day at a time
@Bex953172:
Yep, one day at a time!
Quoting Art of living "Sudarshan Kriya and accompanying breathing practices, referred to collectively as SKY and taught through the Art of Living Foundation worldwide, have been found to enhance brain, hormone, immune and cardiovascular system function."
For me.. I suffer from depression & doing this makes me feel better. There are people who criticize it. Since, it hasn't done me any harm & I feel better, I try to practice it.3 -
I just saw this morning that I've been on MFP for a year now. I'm not exactly where I wanted to be a year later, BUT I've made progress and I know that's the important thing. I've slacked some lately with my eating, but I've still been good about getting to the gym, so I haven't lost the progress I made previously. In a year I'm down about 40 lbs and go to the gym regularly (something I NEVER thought I'd say...haha). I have a good way to go, but I'll keep chugging along...slow and steady wins the race, right??

I'm back. Last night I read 87 JFT posts to catch up, and this morning there were 9 new posts. So happy JFT is active and so supportive!
@Faebert So sorry to hear your news, but I think you are doing the right thing. As someone already mentioned, since you are so fit and active, your recovery should be so much quicker and better. Sending you hugs!!!
@mytime6630 Sending hugs to you, my friend! Wishing there was something magical and miraculous I could say or do for you. You are such a good mom.
My Thanksgiving break from logging went fine. It was the next three days at home with hubby, unstructured days with no set meal plans or even times, since we took advantage of time off work and slept in. I did log food, but def not pretty ~ net calories red, red, red ~ ACK!!!
I walked dog 3 miles on Thanksgiving morning but then the rest of day was very inactive ~ Fitbit had only 4 of 14 hours with 250+ steps ~ yikes! But I did take long walks with dog Friday - Sunday... we walked a total of 13 miles those days. And back to JFT today.

I’m swamped with e-mails so don’t have much time but wanted to check in briefly with you.
I had a really wonderful Thanksgiving! Didn’t overeat and stayed on track with my exercising. I managed to lose .4 lbs. so I’m really pleased
I’ve started reading the Beck Book and have found it very helpful. I’ve made my Advantage List. Decided on my diet; a simple nutritional one with more fruits/veggies and less sugars/carbs. For the back up (I doubt I’ll use it but the book says to choose one so I’m heeding the advice) I chose the South Beach b/c I did it way back when and got good results from it. I’m on Day 3 today and am committing to sitting down for every bite. My downfall is when I taste things as I cook but I’m really going to put my best foot forward and stay on plan. The book makes a lot of sense and it’s a novel approach to weight loss/maintenance so I’m totally on board. Thank you so much for your input on this. It motivated me to get it and follow it.
JFT:
Hit 8000 steps
5 somethings every bathroom break
Sit down for every bite
Y’all have a great Monday and I hope to have a little bit more time tomorrow.

Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I no longer weigh myself daily but I peek occasionally. Saturday a.m. weigh-in is my MFP logging day. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ as long as my trend is downward, I get there when I get there!

Just for today, I intend to do the following:
1. Do 2 min plank, side & front
2. Walk for 3 Km
3. Do sudharshana kriya
Couldn’t do any of the above today! ☹️
Dont worry about it!
I've not done mine all weekend haha
It's not about being perfect, but making progress!
Can I ask what sudharshana kriya is?
Just got to try again tomorrow and forget today, one day at a time
@Bex953172:
Yep, one day at a time!
Quoting Art of living "Sudarshan Kriya and accompanying breathing practices, referred to collectively as SKY and taught through the Art of Living Foundation worldwide, have been found to enhance brain, hormone, immune and cardiovascular system function."
For me.. I suffer from depression & doing this makes me feel better. There are people who criticize it. Since, it hasn't done me any harm & I feel better, I try to practice it.
Ahh no way. I've never heard of it but I'm going to look it up!
I suffer from depression too.1
