    Had a pants day. Some very frustrating stuff that called to my inner rebellious child and I’ve just said sod it! for today. The only healthy thing I’ve done all day is eat some fruit and do a quick run at lunchtime. Even more stupid as I am out with work colleagues for dinner tomorrow and wanted some calories banked but such is life.

    - Leave cash for piano teacher and for daughter to buy book✅
    - Send reminder re birthday meal✅
    - Take watch to work?❎
    - Empty car ❎
    - Confirm restaurant for tomorrow✅
    - Stocking filler research!!❎

    Hey everyone, so I've not posted any goals for quite a while. But today when I was on the school run I was stuck in some traffic and the last three letters of the licence plate in front were JFT lol!
    So I took that as a sign and here I am.

    So getting right back into it
    - 8 glasses of water ❎
    - Be in the green❎
    - Exercise❎
    - Tidy the house✔️
    - Rearrange the Christmas tree decorations❎

    Ha okay so not the best start.
    I had 4 waters, was in the green until my partner brought home icecream (although possibly still okay, I'll log it tomorrow to check but I expect it to be over)

    I didn't exercise because I've done so much today, decluttered everything. Literally everything. 3 bin bags full just came from the kitchen alone! And then we emptied, scrubbed and rearrange every cupboard and drawer, Wiped down all the appliances, moved the lounge around again to fit the tree in better so everythings still easy to get to.

    Didn't get round to sorting the Christmas tree.
    The tinsel is hanging off in places and the baubles are all grouped together.
    So basically 5 days is how long it lasted with the kids lol!
    Is it mean that I told Saskia that the foil ones don't have chocolate in just paper?
    LOL

    *kitten* just hit the fan at work - very complicated but directly affects DH's role and I'm scared shitless. Need to not emotionally eat, and need to not emotionally react at work so I should probably leave because I'm near tears. Just needed a vent.

    It's hard. I like knowing what to expect. Worst case scenario (work-wise), even if we both lost our jobs and had no income for an extended period of time, we have family that can help us out until we're able to get something. But even so, just knowing that I'm due for my annual evaluation gets me stressed. Unexpected complications? UGH. Lots of hugs and hopeful thoughts!

    A lovely reminder that we are also lucky in the family department. Thank you!!!

    Recap 12/4 T ~ TV off later than planned last night & slept crappy, so kept hitting snooze button for early alarm this morning. Listened to my body and reset alarm ~ rest day. :D That's ok, after four straight days of workouts, including walking both in the 5K event and w/ dog on Sat.
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 9,038 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 35 floors ~ more sitting in evening than planned (see #3 shopping) :neutral:
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged / stick w/ plan & no evening snack after supper / net calories w/i 100 green / 14c water = Not quite but close... net calories -146 :/ , sodium -555, sugar -32 (mostly fruits/veggies), fiber excellent, protein low-ish, 15c water (yay)
    3) Evening: buy/write sympathy card for tomorrow :smile: / put up creches (must dust first) :/ but at least I brought boxes up from basement & organized stuff / online shopping for hubby gifts :smiley: done but nearly 2 hours! / LOG measurements from 12/1 :smile:
    4) Unplug 10:00 (if shopping otherwise 9:00) :smiley: 9pm! / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / set/verify alarm, bed & tv OFF 10:15 :neutral: 10:30? (treadmill before work W)

    JFT 12/5 W ~ Today will be an up and down day... this morning I will attend the funeral of a retired former colleague of nearly 20 years. We kept in touch occasionally, I know his wife and all 3 of his kids, now adults of course. It will be sad & hard, but I'm hoping to see other former colleagues there. That will most likely be followed by a luncheon put on by the church ladies, so no idea what I'll be eating. This evening is the usual gathering of another group of former colleagues, with adult beverages & food at a pub I've never been too. I previewed the menu online & it looks amazing, more choices than normal pub food. Looking forward to this, but again, no idea how I'll log food. I will not fret over net calories today & try to drink plenty of water.
    1) Treadmill before work / 3 miles 50:54 = happy me :smiley: & sad dog
    2) Move hourly when possible ~ this will be a sedentary day unfortunately / 5 somethings
    3) Breakfast & snacks prelogged / log all food after the fact as best I can / 12c water
    4) Evening: try to get some to-do's done
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 (treadmill before work Th)

    I'm ever inspired and motivated by your balance between goals and living life without regrets! Thank you for helping me shape my own healthy balance!!! <3

    Thank you, Ali! That makes my day. <3 To be honest, I spent many work/life years UNbalanced, and can unequivocally say, it was not worth it. But it's how I got to be the person I am today. I learned a lot by trial and ERROR. Even now, every day is a challenge, and every day is a new start.

    :naughty:

    Soooo... maybe in the long run, it WAS worth it? ;)

    Never thought of it that way before... you are so right! And not everything was bad the whole time, either. :wink: Thanks for that insight!

    BTW, I had to look up the poem "Never" and I see what you mean.

    Love ALL of this!

    Short day at work today, went well. Went to Target after and managed to make a nice dent in my Christmas shopping, so that is fantastic. Downside is now I have about 10 bags of yummy chocolates sitting in the other room. I'll just think "there's nothing there!" First day with some strong junky food cravings. I think it's because my meal plan for today was a little wonky. BUT I have four days to go and I CAN DO THIS! Muscles are sore from yesterday's workout (those sumo squat things did me in!) so just did walking for today, and I am OK with that. Happy Hump Day all!

    Check in (Wednesday):
    Up with the alarm ✅ HUZZAH!
    To work on time :( booo
    Drink 80 oz. of water ✅
    Work out 30 minutes ✅
    Follow the Mayo Clinic Diet 2-week plan (DAY 10, 4 to go!) ✅
    Track and post here ✅

    For Tomorrow (Tuesday):

    RECAP Monday 12/3/18
    Hit 10,100 steps. Actually hit 11,796 B) . I’m going to up my step goal to 11,000 when I do cardio in the mornings.
    Give myself credit: :/ I’m trying but it's really hard to remember.

    JFT: Tuesday 12/4/18
    Hit 9,000 steps. Today's workout had very little steps so I'm challenging myself to make more than the 8,000 that I typically make on these type of days. Not sure how it will turn out but I'll try.
    Give myself credit.

    We have our staff holiday party today and I'm soooo looking forward to the Kentucky Derby pie! It's my favorite pie in the whole wide world!. I'm not going to restrain myself but I do want to listen to my body and see if it may tell me one piece is enough. It'll be interesting. :D

    Y'all have a great Tuesday!


    😁🙌👏👏👏👏👏💪 CONGRATULATIONS! I'M PROUD OF YOU!! YAYYYY

    @toaljasa I was wondering where you were! I missed ya!
    It's lovely to hear about the wedding but I'm sorry for your sons miscarriage.
    I can only imagine what they're going through, I know I've lost a baby too but to have it happen more than once I just can't even bear the thought.
    I hope you and your family are okay xx

    Thanks, Bex. Life doesn't always go as we hope. But we keep moving forward, don't we? We will see them Christmas---hard to be so far away at these times.

    It sounds like you are in full mom mode. Good for you to do a purge for your house. I always feel such freedom! Now if only I could keep it uncluttered instead of adding filling up the spaces again :)

    @toaljasa So happy to see you back. Congrats on your dress and your son's wedding, and condolences on your family's loss. Thank you for sharing that video. I realized that's how I've been trying to be, so it really spoke to me.

    Thanks! The video voiced many of my thoughts as well. I've watched it several times...just such a solid reminder I'm on an ongoing journey, which is very freeing as I don't put myself in a box that has time limits and such.

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smile:
    - Stick to food plan :/ Ate a few things I didn't intend to - Wednesday is difficult as I have French from 6-8 and don't get home till 9.30, so eating patterns get a bit messed up. Need to figure out a good routine
    - Be in the green :/ Went a little over due to the unplanned items
    - 3+ bottles water :smile:
    - No alcohol :smile:

    - Savour every bite :neutral: Sometimes
    - No eating whilst standing :neutral: I ate a bag of crisps on the way to French, which was while walking - this was in the plan though
    - Give myself credit! :/ It's very hard to remember to do this!
    - Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving :smile: When I finished eating (at 9.45) I really felt like eating more. But then I caught myself and thought about what I was feeling and realised I just felt like eating, possibly due to slight stress, rather than actually being hungry. So I didn't have anything else! Quite proud of this

    - 45 minute lunch break :smile:
    - Meditate :/ Ended up spending lunch helping a colleague with her appraisal - our line manager has given her negative comments which she felt were unfair so was helping her with how to respond (was slightly awkward when he came over to use the printer next to us and was like 'what are you plotting'.... Hmm...)
    - 2+ of French podcast, article, book :/ No time as above
    - Finish work at 5pm :neutral: 5.15
    - Read Beck Diet Solution :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :/ forgot!
    - Lights out by 11 :/ felt like reading more and ignored this one....

    JFT Weds
    1. Water - 3 before lunch, another 3 after :/ close but no - also I think my magnesium supplement is dehydrating me - need to find a new one.
    2. Log all food :)
    3. Be kind >:) Was good until it was not with work issues.
    4. 10 squats/bathroom trip :)
    5. Bring dog for nail trim at lunch :)
    6. Eat packed lunch BEFORE going out to fast food mecca where dog store is haha :)
    7. Cook eggroll in a bowl at home for dinner :)
    8. Bed by 9:30 :)

    JFT Thurs AM
    1. Wake up 6:15 OR first waking :)
    2. Smoothie :)
    4. Fish Oil :)
    5. Elderberry :)
    6. Pack lunches :)

    So - yesterday was a mess. I basically forced myself to eat dinner as I had not much of an appetite. DH is ready to move on, there is no plan B for him here despite the promises of such. All I can really do is support his decisions and work like mad to make up the difference in the meantime - but working is the best way I'm able to compartmentalize things and get by when I'm ready to fall into emotional despair. We will be okay - nothing like some bumps in the road to make you reevaluate everything - and I've been trying to remain in a growth mindset, that "failures" are only opportunities to learn but dang its hard! Going to disappear into some projects...

    JFT
    1. Dont cry at work - remain professional
    2. Log all food
    3. Drink lots of water
    4. Take 10am break OUT of the building - same with lunch
    5. Leave by 3:15 for endo appointment
    6. Be kind
    7. Eat packed lunch
    8. Cook dinner at home

    JFT Friday
    1. Wake up 6:15 or first waking
    2. Smoothie
    3. Fish oil
    4. Water
    5. Elderberry

    12/5 W ~ Today will be an up and down day... this morning I will attend the funeral of a retired former colleague of nearly 20 years. We kept in touch occasionally, I know his wife and all 3 of his kids, now adults of course. It will be sad & hard, but I'm hoping to see other former colleagues there. That will most likely be followed by a luncheon put on by the church ladies, so no idea what I'll be eating. This evening is the usual gathering of another group of former colleagues, with adult beverages & food at a pub I've never been to too (sorry English teachers!). I previewed the menu online & it looks amazing, more choices than normal pub food. Looking forward to this, but again, no idea how I'll log food. I will not fret over net calories today & try to drink plenty of water.

    Recap: Very emotional day at the funeral. :'( Was able to meet with the wife, kids, spouses & grandchildren, and that was wonderful. <3 Saw 5 former colleagues from when I started at that job in 1980, plus several spouses, which was great b/c we were small staff then and like family, also one other former colleague I was very happy to see. <3 Luncheon was not as expected... everyone was invited to nearby restaurant & there were so many people, seating had to be in shifts. I had to be back to the office, so could not stay. Decided to grab quick lunch on my way. Panera's parking lot was packed and drive-thru was backed up, so I went to nearby Red Robin. Hubby doesn't like b/c of the noise volume, so I took advantage of opportunity. Looked at salads on menu but ordered an old favorite, 'shroom burger & steak fries. At least I didn't have any of the free fries refills. Logged everything. At happy hour, drank one beer and ate what I pre-planned: roasted beet salad with arugula ~ yum! Logged as best I could.
    1) Treadmill before work / 3 miles 50:54 = happy me :smiley: & sad dog
    2) Move hourly when possible ~ this will be a sedentary day unfortunately / 5 somethings = Fitbit 13,440 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 (surprised) & 50 floors :smiley:
    3) Breakfast & snacks prelogged / log all food after the fact as best I can / 12c water = Meals not entirely out of line, but in evening, I was over-tired & still emotional, craving sweets, so ate 1 fun size candy (still have Halloween leftovers) then ate last of the dark chocolate chip gelato... at least that's out of the house. I'm sure net calories were very red, but I'm not stressing. :| 12c water :)
    4) Evening: try to get some to-do's done = Shopped on way home & bought SIL's gifts (we drew her name)... items unexpectedly on sale + took advantage of 15% senior discount day ~ score! :D No energy/ambition for anything else :neutral:
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / floss :s / retainers :s / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 :smiley: (treadmill before work Th)

    JFT 12/6 Th ~ Still dragging, so reset alarm and no workout before work. :/
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings

    I'm glad you came back!
    Thats ALL you have to do to succeed. The first main thing is to be accountable and keep trying every day.

    My motto was Strive for progress, not perfection.

    So yesterday I only had 4 out of 8 waters. Today if I get atleast 5 in, it means I did better than the day before.
    Even having 50 calories extra thab the day before.

    It helps me see the little things that are putting me in the right direction rather than the whole picture

    JFT - Wednesday December 5
    2L of water - :/ 1.5 - I forgot to drink at work yesterday while I was working on my ornaments. I find it so hard to get it all in in the evening.
    Calories in Green >:) Over by 248
    Only 1 Evening Snack - >:) 2, but I thought about it before having the second and genuinely felt hungry
    5 something at bathroom break - >:) I don't know why I'm even putting this on here
    5 fruit/veggie - 2/5
    Walk 1 mile - >:) The grands stayed later last night than usual as Lauryn was working on printing out iron on transfers for their family pj's. Last year she made new pj's for all 4 of them. Hers and Michael's matched and Ryan's and Jonah's matched. She is making some this year as well, this years are Mickey and Minnie themed tops. After they left I did some painting because Rodger is way ahead of me on burning ornaments!
    Write in Journal - :)
    Be Conscious of my choices! Do not disappoint myself! - :) I think I'm doing the best that I can do right now. I have no extra minutes in the day for exercising unless I stay up late and I'm tired so.... Next week I should be able to squeeze in 45 minutes a day for exercise no problem!

    I am SO far behind all the posts again ... and again ... starting over. Its been an extremely emotional week, but thankfully I am swamped with not only work, but sewing projects that I need to finish up for Christmas.

    SO my goals again are simple .... back to the basics!
    1. concentrate on water water water!! Remember how good I feel when I drink water.
    2. remember food is not the answer. rest. call a friend. sew. listen to a calm app. Do anything besides eating
    3. work on tote bags -- 3 more to go
    4. help hubby. Work has been crazy busy. Be kind. He is also stressed out.
    5. plan meals ... makes it easier when the meals are known ahead of time. Time to find those crock pot meals
    6. read beck diet solution
    7. listen to podcast

    So glad you came back and posted. I find when I have bad days, those are the most important days to post. It is easy to post, and have all the smiley faces, and feel great because I've know I had a good day. But this is a lifelong lifestyle change, and the habits that got us in trouble are the habits the hardest to break. It is hard to get on here and admit that the day did not go as planned. But thats the thing about this site... when you have a bad day... people on here are so quick and encouraging to remind us that it is just ONE day. That tomorrow we can do better. And the most important thing is to never give up. So please keep coming back .. no matter what. We are like family here .... and the most amazing "friends" on here. It is truly one day at a time!

    12/5 W ~ Today will be an up and down day... this morning I will attend the funeral of a retired former colleague of nearly 20 years. We kept in touch occasionally, I know his wife and all 3 of his kids, now adults of course. It will be sad & hard, but I'm hoping to see other former colleagues there. That will most likely be followed by a luncheon put on by the church ladies, so no idea what I'll be eating. This evening is the usual gathering of another group of former colleagues, with adult beverages & food at a pub I've never been to too (sorry English teachers!). I previewed the menu online & it looks amazing, more choices than normal pub food. Looking forward to this, but again, no idea how I'll log food. I will not fret over net calories today & try to drink plenty of water.

    )

    So very sorry for your loss. Losing a lifelong colleague is very hard. But what a nice time to reflect and celebrate the life that was lost. You are always so food at prelogging and reviewing ahead.
