    @Bex953172 Thank you so much! Fortunately my 'today' is 188.2 - don't know if I'm going to get down past my end-of-October weight but I'm hoping I can get close!

    Challenging day yesterday which triggered some unnecessary food consumption.

    Tracked in Happy Scale.
    Pretrack most meals/snacks.
    Walk dog 39 mins.
    Going out for dinner w/my mom's of special needs kids support group. Love these ladies! I will check out restaurants menu online first.
    Vinyasa yoga.
    Meditate.
    Sit for all meals/snacks.
    Need to review all my commitments for the next 3 weeks and see where I can still fit in activity & precook some healthy meals before things get out of control.

    Now...more coffee!
    Have a great day!

    RECAP 11/27/18
    JFT 11/27/18:
    Hit 10,000 steps :) I had over 11,000 so this allowed me to eat a nice big sandwich for dinner; something I rarely do b/c my main meal is lunch.
    5 somethings every bathroom break :) I remembered most of the time.
    Sit down for every bite :) It’s starting to get easier to curb the urge to taste things as I prepare them

    JFT 11/28/18
    Day 5 Beck Book: Eat slowly and mindfully. I’m putting a glass of water in front of me so that it will remind me to be more mindful when eating. Lunch and dinner will be easier b/c I have more time. Breakfast is a challenge b/c I’m trying to get out of the house in time. I’ve been getting late to work :( and want to change this for arriving early so that I can start my day right B) .

    Hit 8,000 steps
    5 somethings every bathroom break
    Sit down for every bite
    Give myself credit

    Y’all have a happy hump day! <3

    Trying this again - first post disappeared :(

    JFT Tuesday
    1. Prelog what you can :)
    2. Cook dinner at home - figure out what? Oh shoot this might be hard we are staying at work late to paint the wood stove and I have nothing prepped to make a late dinner easier...hmmmm. I'm going to check back in later with a plan to keep me accountable or I'm pretty sure I'll eat KFC (I've been craving it for months now and making excuses trying to get there because theres one near our house now :s ) you already know this one! >:) but I did enjoy it and dont feel bad at all!
    3. Three waters before noon - another three after - two at home, one before dinner and one with >:) and feeling headachey and dehydrated this morning
    4. 10 Wall push ups/bathroom trip :) / >:) 50/50 on this yesterday
    5. ONE LOAD OF LAUNDRY - JUST ONE, YOU CAN DO IT! lol >:) Set myself up on that one there was no way I had time to get it done before going to bed and I cant have the dryer running while I try to fall asleep so just poor planning!
    6. Empty/fill dishwasher :) Really didnt want to do this either but knew I didnt want to see a bunch of devil horns this morning!

    So as energized as I was last week is as sluggish as I am this week. A good lesson in how good food fuels me and indulgences are a nice treat but they really bog me down. A day of rest turned into a day of indelgences turned into a day of F&@^ it turned into a week of unpreparedness. But such is life - ebbs and flows and learning how to paddle with the current. Yearly physical next Monday and Endocrinologist follow up on Thursday - I'm excited to see my progress "officially" on paper and see how my numbers have (hopefully!) improved - especially my triglycerides as at my last 6 month test (right when I started losing weight) they were SKY high and I was terrified - hopefully the fish oil has been working. I thought today was Tuesday this morning to atleast its Wednesday! Happy Humpday everybody!

    JFT Wednesday
    1. Prelog what you can
    2. WATER WATER WATER!!!
    3. Cook dinner at home - Pork, mashed potatoes, green beans
    4. Empty/fill dishwasher
    5. 10 Lunges/bathroom trip - these are SO hard for me right now! But I remember when squats were so hard too and now they are easy so I'm excited to make progress!
    6. One load of laundry - socks!
    7. Hang clean laundry
    8. Bed by 9:30
    9. Take fish oil after dinner - I've thought about it a few times in the evening and just not done it although I should be - my morning habit is solid again, time to work on evening dose!

    JFT Thurs AM
    1. Fish oil
    2. Smoothie
    3. Elderberry
    4. Glass of water

    Weekly Weigh In - Averaged over 7 days

    The scale this morning said 176.6, I didn't believe it really and tried again, same thing.... Maybe I found the sweet spot on the floor.

    Hi Sisters!!! Hope everyone survived today's events.
    Update on me... Went to the clinic today.... They did a Pap
    Smear and a biopsy on me. Ouchie!!! Hope I don't gross everyone out
    with what I'm about to share...
    I haven't had intercourse in over 8 years. So it was like being a virgin
    all over again. The doc is positioned ready for me and just when she tells me
    to scoot down farther on the table... CRAMP!!! POW! In my thigh.😂
    Could barely spread my legs... I said DOC, I'VE BEEN MIA FOR YEARS,
    YOU'RE IN UNCHARTERED TERRITORY. My body doesn't recognize this position.
    LMBO!!! And she began her probe with a small speculum. And she's talking to the help
    nurse about my V.... This one's to small, I cranked it as far as it would go. I can't see
    in her, Find me the bigger one, The large, yes the large. She apologized and inserted
    the large. I'm cranking this one too. I said doc, is everything looking alright down
    there? Yes, she says... Well doc I wanna know if there are any abnormalities?
    None that I can see, everything looks ok.
    I will get the results later and they're talking scheduling an ultrasound next time I'm in.
    I tell my daughter about my concerns and she says... What Mom, you wanted to
    know if you had a pretty *kitten*... I said, yeah I haven't seen it, and I was wondering if it
    would still turn a man on? She burst into laughter... Mommy! I just can't with you.😂😂😂
    I said, that was way too much action for an inactive V.

    Hi all. Had a very unbalanced day. Woke up late, scarfed half a breakfast and went to lunch late. Ended up leaving work late, but sticking to working out. That left most of my calories for dinner, and by that point I was soooo hungry. Need to work on a better balance for food throughout the day. Also not being late all the time to work, so hard for me. @sophia_alegria11 let me know if you have any tips!

    @cschmitz110515 Look at all those smileys! Nice work not eating the samples!
    @snowflake1968 I hear you with the depression, it's awful. Be sure to be kind to yourself and stick to your routines as much as possible. This too shall pass. You are stronger than the depression, my friend!
    @maryrobinson40 Those appointments are the WORST. Because of my body the examination is usually quite painful as well, and I find I feel very vulnerable and exposed (literally and emotionally!). Take care of yourself today, and remember you are perfect just as you are.

    For Today:
    Up with alarm-utter fail! Slept past it and had a half hour to get ready :(
    Drink 80 oz. of water ✅
    Work out 30 minutes ✅
    Do a load of laundry ✅ ✅
    Follow the Mayo Clinic Diet 2-week plan (DAY 3!) ✅
    Track and post here ✅

    For tomorrow:
    Up with alarm
    Drink 80 oz. of water
    Work out 30 minutes
    Have fun on my date :)
    Follow the Mayo Clinic Diet 2-week plan (DAY 4, 10 to go!)
