    Yesterday was quite good, getting stuff done wise, but terrible diet wise. Had a bit of a snack fest and ended up going over by 1600 calories...

    Not going to dwell on it now, just move on - it's a new day! Even with that setback, I should still be able to lose half a pound this week if I stay on track for the rest of the week. And I might be able to lose a little more if I exercise and don't eat back the calories. So all is not lost.

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :neutral: Did it this morning
    - No snacks :s
    - Take sensible portions at dinner :neutral: I didn't get a lot of choice, was just handed a portion and it wasn't very large!
    - Eat slowly and mindfully :neutral:
    - 3 bottles water :smile:
    - Equal volume soft drink to wine :smile:
    - Exercise DVD :smile:
    - Meditate :/
    - French homework :smile:
    - Something on career stuff :/ I think my list was too ambitious... I have Monday off though so I really will do stuff then!
    - Washing and washing up :smile:
    - Pack for weekend away :smile:
    - Pick up train tickets :smile:
    - Don't forget to go to dentist :smile:
    - Self care: pluck my eyebrows!!! (They are such a mess) :smile:
    - Self care: spend some time reading/ watching rubbish :smile:


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Eat slowly and mindfully
    - Be in the green
    - 3+ bottles water

    - 30+ minute lunch break
    - Meditate
    - French podcast and French article
    - Use train to catch up on French homework

    Current calorie balance: 1560 in the red, gah!

    JFT - Thursday November 1
    2L of Water - :/ 1.75
    Calories in Green by 150 - :/ I think just a little in the red. I forgot to log 3 little chocolate treats. So probably close to 150 over.
    5 Fruits and Veggies- 3/5
    Only 1 Evening Snack - >:)>:)>:) Oh my! The snacking bug hit me big time last night! I should have exercised instead of ate
    Walk 1 Mile - >:)
    5 Littles at Bathroom Break :) I did this twice
    Write in Journal - :/
    Stay FOCUSED - DO IT - QUIT BEING DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF - :/ I could have done better, but I've certainly had worse days. So I'll forget it and move on.

    JFT - Friday November 2
    2L of Water
    Calories in Green by 150
    5 Fruits and Veggies

    Write in Journal
    Stay FOCUSED - DO IT - QUIT BEING DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF

    I have to give notice to two staff members today. I was supposed to go to Calgary to get my own formal notice letter and take a car down, but it was calling for snow so it's postponed until Monday. I am so thankful it was cancelled it was a 90 Minute drive to work rather than 35 due to the road conditions.

    I am taking the Grands away to my cousin's tomorrow night for the night, I am quite looking forward to it.
    We are taking her granddaughter and my two to a craft fair and then just hanging out at her house so the two girls can play together. Her Granddaughter is 3 months younger than Michaela. I then really need to buckle down and get to crafting hard.

    @AJB1014 - I have looked into Etsy, but there is a monthly fee for it. We don't really have things to sell year round yet so I haven't wanted to have the cost. We are thinking about things we can do for the summer and year round though.

    I have to run out and meet someone and am really not wanting to drive to do it.

    JFT, Thurs, Nov 1
    1. log all food
    2. Eat less than 1700 calories
    3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
    4. Walk for 90 minutes
    5. At least 30 minutes of lifting weights.
    Results – I hit all of the goals except for my calories goal. I’m still struggling with eating too many snacks. Not sure where my willpower has gone! Hopefully the exercise cancels out some of my eating struggles.

    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!

    Age 61, 5'4.5"
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 140 - 145 [Need to be realistic! Will revisit UG & may revise to maintain 145 - 150]

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    07/08 = 177.5 oops
    07/15 = 176.5
    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
    09/16 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!
    09/23 = 168.5 have lots challenges in upcoming week
    09/30 = 167.0 met Sept goal to stay under 170
    10/07 = 166.0
    10/14 = 166.5 dined out 2 days with adult beverages plus wine & cheesecake at spa
    10/21/17 = 166.5 dined out 2 days plus food day in office / no gain is good [joined Just Give Me 10 Days challenge (daily w/i)]
    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
