    Yesterday wasn't great food wise, although it could have been worse. I don't know about anyone else but I feel like every day is a battle not to give into the urge not to just relax into Christmas mode and eat continually. I think this is what happens when you have three Christmas parties when you still have a week to go!

    I guess this is where the JFT mentality can really come in handy. Don't think about all the temptations of the next two weeks...just think about TODAY, and what you're going to do within it.

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :/
    - Stick to food plan :/
    - Be in the green :/
    - 3+ bottles water :/
    - No alcohol :smile:

    - No eating whilst standing :smile:
    - Savour every bite :/
    - Monitor fullness after each meal :/
    - Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving :/
    - Give myself credit! :/

    - Finish work at 6pm latest :smile:
    - Read Beck Diet Solution :smile:
    - Prep for second interview :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :/ Forgot again
    - Lights out by 11 :smile:

    Today will be challenging - at the end of the day I have my team 'wine and cheese' mini party. I'm not sure if I have mentioned before, but cheese is a MASSIVE weakness for me - more than chocolate. The event is going to replace dinner, but there is still a danger that I will consume massive amounts of calories. I will need a strategy to avoid that!


    Today's commitments:

    - No snacks outside meals
    - Take sensible portions of cheese
    - Eat slowly
    - Savour every bite
    - Monitor fullness throughout
    - Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
    - Leave event by 7, absolute latest (6.30 if started earlier)

    - 4 bottles water
    - One glass of wine only
    - Give myself credit!

    - Run to work
    - 1 hour lunch break
    - Interview prep
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights out by 11

    Recap M 12/17 ~ Since roads are (mostly) ice-free, I can walk dog before work/sunrise again... although a little out of the habit of 5:30 alarm, to allow time to don all the layers & gear. :D Surprising how quickly that habit fails me ~ maybe b/c I'm really not a morning person?

    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / no snack after supper / net calories green / 14c water = Ack! Ack! Ack! Soup & salad supper were not enough so I ate some dried apple slices. Then I made popcorn. THEN I ate peanut M&Ms. >:) Net calories -638 :s , sodium -909 (yikes), sugar -68 >:) , fiber & protein excellent, 14c water
    4) Evening: put away Schwan's delivery :smiley: / write cards :smiley: finally finished 8:45 / wash dishes :/ / maybe decorate (nearly done) :/
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 :smiley: (walk dog T before work)

    JFT Monday recap
    1. Three waters before lunch, another three after :)
    2. Do 30 minute workout at lunchtime (cut it back to 20 minutes if time restraints)* do it at home if all else fails >:)
    3. Log all food >:)
    4. Eat packed lunch >:)
    5. Cook dinner at home :)
    6. Kind self talk :)
    7. Empty/fill dishwasher :)
    8. Load of laundry >:)
    9. Car dealership @ 3 :)

    Mom was in the neighborhood of work so we went out to lunch - no workout, no eating packed lunch, I ate shrimp tacos and skipped the fries but still...not my best day and I didnt log anything at all yesterday. Usually I'd go back and do it, but logging restaurant food is such a crap shoot anyway. I could have worked out at home but I decided to call my dad and catch up in my free moments instead. The car dealership visit was frustrating to say the least. I'm buying out my lease because I'm way over on miles and I like the car - buying it keeps my payments close to what they are now. They did the whole "let me check with my manager" gig for an hour and a half only to fear monger me into thinking that my math was wrong and my payments will be way more than I was planning for so "why dont I just get a new lease anyway!" I finally had enough and left, checked my math and checked with my credit union - nope, my math wasnt wrong and my payments will be the same as I'm paying now...I was annoyed when I was in there but figuring that out after had me livid. TOM still due to arrive and I think its stress that has me late but I'm gonna pick up some dollar store tests just in case! I'm a ravenous beast either way so trying to keep things reasonable today.

    JFT Tuesday
    1. WATERS
    2. Eat packed lunch
    3. Cook dinner at home - steak burrito bowls (make extra rice for lunch)
    4. Log all food
    5. Empty/Fill dishwasher
    6. Load of laundry
    7. Kind self talk
    8. Pick up HCG tests at dollar store

    Hi to All.

    I’ve had a miserable day. Apparently, my gums had a severe allergic reaction to the materials used in the impression mold for the crown that I’m getting done. That’s what’s caused all my being “under the weather” feeling that I’ve been dealing with the past couple of days. I went to the dentist today at noon and he cleaned it (fortunately it didn’t hurt) and I have to use a special rinse until things clear up.

    I decided not to work out this morning so that my body could focus on healing. I can only eat lukewarm or cold foods b/c the heat aggravates it. I had a huge portion of frozen yogurt after lunch and it helped but my poor mouth is hurting. I’ve logged my food journal but honestly, I just wish this to go away so that my life can go back to normal. My poor mouth is so sore!

    I’ll try to leave a couple of minutes early from work and get to bed also early so that I can rest up and hopefully tomorrow will be a new day.

    Hugs to all. I’ll read posts tomorrow if my mouth lets me.

    You know what, I think something like that can really put you on a downer! I'd rather break my arm I think! Atleast id be able to eat and stuff.
    I think when something can affect our necessities like eating or drinking or even using the toilet it can be awful.

    I hope you feel better soon x

    Morning all. Up early and sitting in the peaceful dark thinking of all the things I have to do! I know it will all come together in the end but sometimes I wonder if Christmas is really worth all the running around that precedes it! I must take some time this year to be present in the moment - watch the joy of my kids and remember what it’s all about!

    Yesterday was a bit of a food disaster but I know why - just too tired and busy to take proper care of myself. Today will also be hectic but I’m going to try and make time for proper meals for a change.

    Last night I built the desk my daughter wanted for Christmas all by myself and have it hidden away (going to wrap the box for her to open on the morning). Very proud of myself but unfortunately I dropped the pieces on my foot and my ankle is sore this morning. Hoping I can still work out as usual but we shall see...

    Tuesday goals recap
    - morning workout ✅
    - Parking vouchers on car ✅
    - Call A re jewellery ✅
    - Go to leather repair shop after work ✅
    - Put away laundry ❎ it did make it upstairs though!
    - Wrap gifts ❎ build daughter’s desk✅
    - Early night✅

    Wednesday goals
    - morning workout if ankle ok
    - parking vouchers on car

    Total Total failure today ... or I guess I should rephrase that. I choose to eat a bunch of cookies, I choose to eat some candy to relieve my stress ... it was all my choice. Doesn't help that I just baked oatmeal, chocolate chip, and decorated sugar cookies... all within hands reach!

    So for tomorrow, I will choose to face the problems facing us, and not give into that junk food.

    Our daughter thought her computer had a virus... she gave out her bank number to someone ... who has been taking over $50.00 every month out. We are trying to figure out where the money is going .. finally today she tells us this. Its like she is a child, trying to live as an adult. So stressful evening... as I am trying to talk to her, and she will not listen. The 40 yr old adult voice tonite ... then the crying ... then the child again, letting us know what has been going on. She said 2 withdrawals were made last week... but she doesn't know what they are for. OMG!! Now she does not want to go with us to see our son ... she is choosing instead to just sit in her apartment alone. Again ... saying that serenity prayer ... but boy, I sure wish I had the answer as to what to do!


    So my goals tomorrow are simple.
    concentrate on drinking water
    healthy foods
    mindful eating ... food is not the answer.

    I don't really know why I bothered making goals yesterday, I pretty much just totally ignored them!!!

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - No snacks outside meals :/
    - Take sensible portions of cheese :/
    - Eat slowly :/
    - Savour every bite :/
    - Monitor fullness throughout :/
    - Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving :/
    - Leave event by 7, absolute latest (6.30 if started earlier) :smile:

    - 4 bottles water :smile:
    - One glass of wine only :/
    - Give myself credit! :/

    - Run to work :smile:
    - 1 hour lunch break :smile:
    - Interview prep :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :/
    - Lights out by 11 :smile:

    Today I WILL be better - fewer temptations to deal with. I am having dinner with my friends tonight but it's in a pub and let's face it, I go to pubs all the time so there is no need to overdo it. I will make a strategy for not going overboard and stick to it!

    Today is also my second interview. I'm feeling a little nervous but I'm also feeling a bit like, as someone said (I think possibly @Sofia_Alegria), if it's right for me then I will get it!

    Unfortunately I also seem to be coming down with a cold. I'm going to dose myself up with drugs (paracetamol/ vitamin C) and hopefully it will go away!


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Make and stick to food plan
    - 3+ bottles water
    - One large water for every alcoholic drink

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
    - Monitor fullness after each meal
    - Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
    - Give myself credit!

    - Train home by 22.45 latest, ideally 22.15 or even earlier


    Big hugs to everyone who needs them at the moment, including @mytime6630 @PackerfaninGB @Sofia_Alegria @Faebert as well as everyone else who needs them who I haven't mentioned. I've been a bit rubbish at replying to others' posts lately - things have been a bit overwhelming with interviews and work restructure - but I think of you all a lot and am rooting for you even when I'm not posting much. <3

    2. Do not eat sweets in the breakroom. Seriously people, stop bringing in delicious cookies!
    3. Go to the gym this morning
    4. Drink 150oz water
    5. Do not cancel doctors appointment tomorrow. I have an appointment with my weight management doctor and even though she says I should still come in if I’m not doing well, it still feels like a huge disappointment when I go and that number hasn’t budged or has gone up. I’m trying not to have many expectations since it’s around the holidays.

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" at thrift stores.
    2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
    3. Find out if a second masters pays the same as an EdS (email HH). Revise Machiavelli Prince Analysis - Part 1 paraphrased explanation, Part 2 quote & leader choice & explanation, part 3 reflection. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook.
    4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
    5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener
    6. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
    7. Gifts for dad and DH - look for licorice puffs (Dollar Tree), cookbook. Fix laptop bag.
    8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
    9. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.

    Well, I graded until 10 PM and I didn't get to the final exams. That's gonna HAVE to be today, along with the late work. Gonna try to get some laundry put away before heading to the Y.

    You know what, I think something like that can really put you on a downer! I'd rather break my arm I think! Atleast id be able to eat and stuff.
    I think when something can affect our necessities like eating or drinking or even using the toilet it can be awful.

    I hope you feel better soon x

    Thanks Bex! It looks like the gums are starting to clear up but my body just feels awful. A coworker brought me a Gatorade b/c she said the yuckyness is probably in part from being dehydrated. I'll see if that helps; if not, then I'll have to go home early and get in bed. Pretty much the only thing that I feel like doing.

    @slittlemeister thinking about you and your second interview.

    JFT 12/19/18
    HYDRATE to see if this helps and I can get back to my workouts and normal routine

    Hugs to all! <3
