JFT Monday
It’s a new week. Time to reset! I did better yesterday. Even though I was over my allowed calories for the day, I still logged everything which kept me from snacking extra.
1. Log all food
2. Drink 150oz water
3. Leave work early to pick up daughter
4. Don’t overeat at parents meeting tonight
5. Do an app workout after getting home since no gym time today1 -
JFT (Monday, 12/10/18)
1) Log all my food for the day
2) Drink 8 glasses of water before having a Diet Coke
3) Go to the gym
4) Stay "in the green" with my calorie intake
@Bex953172 Your progress is great!! I can definitely see a difference. Good for you!!
@Snowflake1968 I'm glad you had a good time and got to spend time with your daughter!1 -
@Bex953172 I think we tend to be our own worst critics because I look at your progress pics and see great changes! Very inspiring thank you for sharing!1

@Bex953172 's pics this reminded me of a really funny incident with my mother which I thought you'd all appreciate.
(@Bex - the pics are great - there has been such a big change! You should be really proud of yourself!)
I can see a big difference in my own body having lost quite a bit of weight now, and I was telling my mum about this. I was modelling an outfit for her in which it was obvious that I'd lost a lot of weight from my legs (my jeans were basically hanging off me) and I was saying to her "Look at my legs! Aren't they skinny!"
My mother's response: "Well, I wouldn't say they're skinny... I'd say they're 'average sized'"
Mothers... aren't they great for the self-esteem?!
Me and the boyfriend now regularly make jokes about my 'average sized legs'...
(And now average-sized arms, as they have shrunk too!)

1. Prep snack tray and dessert around 3
2. Make potatoes after dh puts the roast in
3. Be kind and patient
4. Move laundry
5. Empty/fill dishwasher
DH did it
6. Log all food
I'll go back and do it now
7. Drink a glass of water on the hour sooooo dehydrated today!!!
8. Only one slice of pie *
9. Bed by 10 *
*So our tenant got home last night around 9 called over said place smelled like gas and no heat. Ran over, emergency shut off, aired the place out. Thermocouple was acting up when we first started the system in October, so we cleaned it and all was well. So we repeated the cleaning of the thermocouple and fired it back up - seemed to be operating fine. But the gas valve should have shut when the pilot went out and obviously it did not with the smell of gas throughout the house. So we're going to have to get it looked at - we're DIY'ers enough to clean it but I think its time to call the professionals in
That was enough to get my adrenaline pumping so we came back to the house around 10 and I stress ate another piece of pie and didnt get to bed until 11ish - I'm the type of person who NEEDS 8 hours of sleep so I slept in til 7 and got to work later than I wanted to...c'est la vie. I'm so grateful everyone is okay and nothing blew up!!! Dinner with the parents was really great, will have to do that more often.

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 ~ I get there when I get there!

@mytime6630 YES! You did it!
Omg I scrolled so slowly hoping it had gone below 200!
Youve worked so hard!
Now keep it up!
Do you know what the best bit is.. You achieved it at the hardest time of the year! Seriously well done Joan, youve smashed it!3 -
OMG! I'm so far behind! I've gotten so bad at this! I need to figure out some sort way to go back on here daily and post goals and stuff! I'll try doing it before bed for a while and see if that works. I know that if I don't post and read posts every day I seriously slip... Like I did ALL weekend. I feel like I say this all the time but it's time to get serious. I think there is a correlation between crappy eating and not getting up with my first alarm in the mornings. I think I need to investigate this further. Lol. The last few weeks I've had a really hard time getting up when I originally want to and not going back to sleep even after I shower and make coffee. Lol.
This morning was pretty busy with processes and there was drama with the DH's family. Please pray that this works it's self out. Needless to say the morning was rough. Now it's almost 1pm and it has slowed down drastically so I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs. Lol. I ate my lunch after I realized I was starving. Now I'm pretty satiated and still have a few snacks left for later. I need to chug down some water today too. I've also been lacking in that the last few days as well.
Okay, so let's do some goals.
1. Log all food
2. Do not order out for dinner
3. Fold clothes!
4. Come back on here
5. Drink 2 bottles of water
6. Bed before 11!3 -

198 next week? 1 -
Hi folks,
I haven’t checked in since last Wednesday, and haven’t had a chance to read the past 113 posts but I’m here and know that you are here as well! Thursday I was away from the office taking care of our grand-baby who was sick with bronchitis. Friday I came back to the office but had a slew of e-mails to respond to and today it’s just been busy all over.
I weighed in on Saturday and lost 1lb. but it was a hard weekend for me b/c I ate more than usual but kinda, sorta within my goal calories. I also tried to gauge my hunger and to be honest, I could have eaten a lot more than what I ate so I do feel like I’m moving forward in this journey.
I fasted from breakfast this morning to compensate a bit and am proud of myself b/c it’s cold and I was craving something sweet so I reached for a 2.2 oz bag of cinnamon toast pop corn and ate only ¾ of it. It may not seem like a big deal but I would have eaten all of it in the past so that ¼ is a huge accomplishment. Also, last Friday I went to a retirement lunch for one of my co-workers and left things on my plate including a piece of lemon meringue pie that I found to be too sweet! I never, ever leave things on my plate. Growing up that was a no-no and it’s really hard for me to break that habit so Amen to those little things that help move us along .
All I can say is baby steps and one day at a time.
JFT:
Stay within my calories
5 Somethings w/bathroom breaks
Drink 90 oz of water
Hit 9000 steps
Hugs to all.

Hey everyone
Isn't it funny how the habits you think you've gotten rid of have a way of creeping back up on you!
The biscuit demon is upon me again.
So as of NOW biscuits are banned. For a minimum of 7 days.
I may have to write a note on the biscuit cupboard for this...
No new news over here really. Just doing what I do!
Marleys going to the docs tomorrow.
For the last two weeks she keeps vomiting, like bringing everything up. With no indication of her being unwell. No fever, no upset tummy, her bowels are fine. Even when she's been sick apart from being upset that she's covered in it she's absolutely fine?
I wouldn't mind if it had been a few days or even a week but I think 2 weeks and with no indication of it ending (well I can't tell either way) I just think it's worth the trip.
Although I will speak to the nursery when I drop Saskia off tomorrow, see if any of the other kids are the same and to let them know she won't be in tomorrow, they really love her lol!
Tbh, on top of it all I'm just sick of the washing and scrubbing and mopping.
She was sick on "daddy's chair" before. Lol they're not supposed to be sat on daddy's chair so I had to clean it quick time!
Anyway ill post goals in the morning. I'll forget them otherwise.
Oh I've also reduced my meds from 40mg to 20mg (prozac)
Even though I was still taking them I still felt a bit miserable, but when I forgot to take one I had a really good day and felt good so I'm trialling a reduced dose.
I've not told the GP but I've done it before with their recommendation so there's no point in me wasting an appointment for someone who really needs it.
Anyway I suppose I should go to bed.
Anyone got any tips for getting yourself to feel sleepy when in bed.
It's half past midnight and I feel so awake.
I would crochet but I've lost the hook for @PackerFanInGB 's gift (i think it's slipped under a floor board, I can get it but just need to move the whole bed) crappy carpet isn't sealed at the walls so yeah.. It's fell down the side of the bed under the floorboards2 -

Made it back to the Y today. WHEW. That was tough! I forgot that I have double classes. And then school tomorrow is cancelled so I'm going to try to make it to the OTHER one for a strength class, since I got lost last time.
