Hopping on to keep myself accountable. I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had a great day.
We had 22 people here, and it was really a lot of fun! I got to see 3 of my great grandsons and had so much fun with them! K is 5, and the twins are going to be 2 in February. I felt so much love in this house yesterday that my heart truly did overflow.
AND I didn't overeat at all. I was mindful and without even thinking about it, I kept my portions small. Then about midnight I woke up with a stomach bug and was up sick until 4 a.m., had to call into work and have been down all day. So, for the first time ever, I actually LOST a pound on Thanksgiving rather than gain! How's THAT for a positive spin?
@Faebert I'm sorry to hear about the news and your planned surgery. It's a lot to take in, and I'm sending you hugs and prayers.

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.
This had to be a very difficult decision for you... but you will be in my prayers. I know I am also at a risk factor ... I just don't know how much. I am so proud of you though for taking the steps needed to do all you can to prevent it.3 -

I'm here! I'm alive! I don't know why I keep doing this! I think it has to do with not waking up in the morning with enough time to log on. I try hard not to spend much time on my phone while at work. So when I'm at work I can't really check in or anything. I need to figure out a better system to keep myself accountable on here.
Okay! My holiday was good. I don't think I really overate. I had small portions of many things but they were all pretty delicious. I don't think I got uncomfortably full until I tried to eat that second piece of pie 😅 Tonight however was a totally different story! I really need to get back to cooking meals. It's not like I don't have the food or anything in the house! I just haven't felt like it. I think we actually ordered in all week. I think the last time I cooked was Sunday night. How terrible is that. I'm pretty certain I'm going to be up when I step on the scale on Sunday. Tomorrow is going to be a water day. Lol.
It's currently 12:40am and the only reason I'm still awake is because I'm waiting for my head phones to charge so that I can block out my husband talking to his friend while they play video games.
I hope everyone had a great holiday. Thank God it's the weekend!
I'm going to post my goals and go to bed!

This is the same problem I am having! I don't give myself enough time in the morning to sit down at my computer and hop on. Then at work, I don't want to jump on because I'm working... At the end of the day, sometimes I just don't want to look at a computer after being on one at work all day or else I do hop on to read everyone's comments but then I'm tired and think to myself "I'll hop on tomorrow to post my goals", which doesn't happen! LOL! I need to actually schedule time into my day to do this and make it a priority because you guys truly do keep me accountable and it's important I log on each and every day.NSV: I hit 20k on my Fitbit yesterday!!

This reminds me of an app I had on my phone that would remind me to take a 5 minute break and move after every 30 minutes of work. I deleted it and cannot for the life of me remember the name to get it back!
CONGRATS FOR THE 20k! That's awesome! I rarely even hit 10k, so I cannot even imagine! You go, girl!

In the Beck's Diet Solution, there is an assignment to find a diet coach to help hold you accountable and to also help support you when you stumble. 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!4 -
So today has been kind of a bust goal-wise. I didnt get out of bed until noon. Lol. Should not have done that but the bed was warm and comfy and the DH was cuddly. Lol. 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!3 -

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 -

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 -
