So I just realized I never posted goals for this month! So here it goes! I'm going to try and make them as doable as possible.
March 1st- 154.8
(5'5" 29y Female)
March Goals
1. Log all food at least 5 days a week
2. Try Yoga Studio in town(if I like, go 1x a week)
3. Acupuncture weekly
4. Get back to the gym(go 3x a week)
5. Have an awesome first 3 weeks at new job!
6. Work on story 1x per week
7. Get out of 150's!!!!!!
I think these are all doable!4 -
I've had a very relaxing day so far! Got up with the DH at 7:30. Didn't go to church because I didn't want to be the only family member there(found out later that DOD went) because sometimes I feel weird about it. Church has always been a family thing for us. Listened to a message from one of my favorite pastors instead. Killed two birds with one stone by working on my story at my Parents house while I was washing clothes. Lol. Got some things transferred from paper to word doc and finished a scene that I was stuck on. Did a few things around the house. Ran some errands. It's 330 and the DH gets off at 4(hopefully! Lol) so then I think the rest of the night will be devoted to him. He hasn't been feeling all that well(at least emotionally) for the last few days. I think he needs some Hannah time. Lol.4

So inspired by Saragirl’s honesty - I’m so in that place too re trying in a dress that I now can’t zip up and yes it has the tags on too... but I dare not measure my waist - you are brave!! ....4

Had a good day today. Feeling fairly on top of things at the moment- much less stressed now the snow has cleared. I’m just craving some warmer weather and longer days. Getting up and working out in the dark through the winter has been a big commitment. I’m proud I’ve done it but it does get a bit depressing sometimes!
Anyway, 4/3:
JFT 4/3;
- early exercise ✅ not remotely early but after a few hours (!) of negotiating with myself I did it
- Stay within calorie goal ✅
- 2ltr+ water ✅
- Early (very early!) night ✅
Goals for 5/3:
- exercise before kids get up
- Stay within calorie goal
- Drink 2 ltr+ water
- Lock in catch up meeting with M
- Get approval for maths papers first thing
- Leave school on time to take daughter to specialist appointment
Have a great rest of your Sunday all x5 -
I didnt check in during the weekend but I was really good in terms of eating within my calories. As a result I didnt gain the usual post weekend bloat from all the eating out!
Just for today:
Lift
Apple Cider Vinegar
Take vitamin D
Drink 2 litres of water
C25K
10k steps
Eat within my macros/calories6 -
@biche896 That's awesome! I'm glad that you survived the weekend! I know that those can be tough!2
-
@Faebert I'm so happy the snow has melted there. I know that it wrecked a lot of havoc in your country. Lol. I hope your hip is feeling better.
@Saragirl2 Be proud that you took your measurements! I finally went to do it this morning and I found that my junk drawer has collapsed into the drawer underneath it. I just didn't have the energy to sort it all out. Lol. Maybe tomorrow. I want to know but I'm a little worried as well.
My DH had an SV today. Lol. He's down 14lbs in 6 weeks. It's mainly because we stopped eating out. I'm cooking every night and making his lunch for break time. He isn't eating a bag of puffcorn, a candy bar, and an energy drink/soda for break and take out for dinner. I also have him pretty much off the energy drinks. We've replaced it with caffeinated mint tea. Lol. He says that he is already starting to feel better. It's awesome to see!9 -
Love that your junk drawer collapsed! So real ...I have days like that too:) Keep smiling2

Hello everybody; I am Tom and I am a Compulsive Eater. My main goal for the first 6 months of this year is to completely remove candy type foods from my daily eats and to reduce foods that have sugar as a top 5 ingredient. The sugar gets me hooked to want more sweets and other foods for days afterwards. Even though I generally do not eat enriched white wheat flour, when it is combined with sugar as in cakes, muffins, etc, I find it almost irresistible. So my second goal is to try to completely remove those foods also. If I do that then it will be easier to get down to my desired weight.8

My Just For Today is
Exercise bike for 15 mins
Do 7 minute workout
Treat myself to a cleansing face mask
3 -
Is your group accepting new members4
-
1. Log all my food ✅
2. Prep veggies for lunches this week⚠️ only for tomorrow’s lunch
3. Go shopping for new shirts that aren’t black or navy. (I got into a bad rut) ✅ Kelly green, magenta and a teal shirt
4. Finish lesson plans for Bio class ✅
5. PT stretches.✅
All in all not a bad day. Hope you all had a good day!6 -

Tom, I also am an Compulsive Eater - and an emotional eater. It is so easy to get back into those old habits - even after I can do really well for a few months. You are very smart in removing the sugary foods. This is what gets me. I can do OK as long as I don't eat that crap, but all it takes is one piece of cake or candy (in my case, ice cream), and the entire week seems that way.
Welcome to the group, and I hope we see you post often. This thread does help to take things one day at a time, and keeps us going and not giving up.

1. Up at 77:30. Got up a few minutes before the DH
2. Morning Routine/YogaWas going to do my measurements(Finally!). Cant find my tape measure. I actually ended up doing two rounds of yoga. I felt the need to get some extra stretching in
3. DH up at 7:45/ DH LunchHe didn't actually go back to sleep after I got up at 730.
4. Graham Cook Teaching/Prep lunchesIt was a teaching I had heard before but I always get something different every time I hear it. I spent about 45 minutes prepping the DH's lunches and snacks for the week.
5. Spend time up at Parents house writingDid this while waiting for laundry. DOD was out of the house so I had the house(and the dog) to myself. It was nice and relaxing
6. LunchHad a tuna salad sandwich.
7. LibraryI only had to drop off two books but I still went anyway.
8. Read
Nope. I got my book and sat on the couch and everything. I dont even remember what I did...maybe some paperwork.
9. NapDid another yoga video.
10. Prep DinnerOnly had to heat up a few things since I used the C/P tonight
11. Dinner/DishesBourbon Chicken/Rice/Broccoli. I'm waiting for the hot water to come back before I do the dishes.
12. DH timeDoing this now. He's got an upset tummy at the moment. I ate everything he did and I'm fine. He's got a bad stomach though so who knows.
13. Bed by 11Likely. It's only 7:30 and I keep looking at the clock wondering if it is close to bed time! Lol
Had a quiet day. Got some things done. Ended up going to our pharmacy to see about refilling my DH's inhaler because I lost the package. They had to fax the Doc because there weren't any refills. Thank goodness I went a few days before it was empty. Lol. I have a habit of waiting until the last dose to put in a refill request. Lol.
I'm gonna try the yoga studio in town tomorrow. I've never done a yoga class with other people before. I've only ever done Yoga with Adriene videos on YouTube. I love her and will keep using her but I want to see what it is like to be in a community of yoginis. So we'll see. It's pretty reasonably priced and is right around the corner from my new job. I can walk to my gym, the yoga studio, the library and my church all from the bank. They are all in about a half a square mile. It's pretty awesome. Lol. If I like the studio I will probably use some of my second paycheck to buy a pass since it's cheaper.
I hope everyone is having a great night! Onto my list!!!
JFT, 3/5/18
1. Up by 9(probably earlier)
2. Morning routine
3. Breakfast
4. DH time/Read
5. Lunch
6. Clean Bedroom/Living room/Bathroom
7. Library
8. Yoga studio
9. Dinner/Dishes
10. Pens game
11. Night routine
12. Bed by 12
I'm hoping to hear from the bank tomorrow to see what day I am starting! I hope it's sometime this week!
Oh! I'm trying a new thing where when I'm done with my last bit of food around 7:30 I immediately brush my teeth. I think I've noticed a correlation between no nightly snacking and brushing my teeth. Plus it helps me to remember to do it before I go to bed.
Have a great night everyone!5 -

JFT, SUnday
1. get back to logging everything I eat
2. go to the gym with hubby. I am not looking forward to going in the afternoon, but he is always bugging me to go with him. I'm more a morning person, but I told him I would go with him tomorrow afternoon instead. As much as I didn't want to go since it interrupts my day --- I went, and was glad I did. Hubby stays for like 3 hours though, so we drove separately. I stayed 90 minutes ..... but then I still had time when I got home to work in the yard a little - collecting branches, sticks, and raking up more leaves! So many times when he goes to the gym - and its my "alone" time - I would snack on stuff I should not have. So going to try and do this with him on the weekends --- but still keep my morning routine during the week.
3. concentrate on water
Not as much as I should, but tonite, I'll try and sip and get more water in.
4. sew on king size quilt - I can only do this for about 2 hrs, since my arms hurt so much to do much more! Nope -- ran out of the thread I was using! Used up an entire roll!
5. work on chemo hats Can't work on the quilt, so working on the hats tonite instead
6. get back on here - be accountable
7. cut up the veggies so I have healthy snacks ready I had cauliflower and carrots in the refrig - so got them cleaned, cut up, and ready for my snacking if/when I need to. Also made some hard boiled eggs. Refrigerator is all cleaned, and healthy snacks ready for the week.
8. make hard boiled eggs and have them ready
9. GET OUT AND START READING AGAIN BECK DIET SOLUTION. Make new response cards. Reread the first chapter- and made new response cards.
10. be mindful of what I eat -- eat slowly, and actually enjoy my food.
11. Plan the dinners for the week. Makes this so much easier when things are planned - why do I keep forgetting this. Helped to clean the refrig and freezer compartment - so I know what I have, and could plan easier.
12. encourage others
13. get back on here - be accountable Today was the first good day for me in a long time. Getting on here really does help -- something I need to always remember, even on those bad days. And I realize how much I need (and miss) you guys if I don't post!
Did so much better today. I have my response cards ready to keep reading.
Now I have to get and stay on track, so hopefully I can get out of these darn 190s!
JFT, MONDAY
1. finish up disability paperwork for my daughter and drop it off. I will be glad when this is finished - emotionally it is so hard, and then I tend to want to snack on comfort foods.
2. concentrate on water
3. log all food
4. read response cards.
5. be mindful of what I eat, and eat slowly
6. go to the gym
7. encourage others
8. get back on here - be accountable

Pulled out 4 dresses last night. All sized 10-16. I wore the 10s in 2010! Tried on the 16 (can't zip it!) & it was a real eye opener as to how much work I need to do. I was avoiding the reality of my situation by wearing stretchy materials & layers. I remember vividly wearing each dress except the 16 b/c it still has tags. Last week I took out a tape measure to measure my waist and I know I've got to get the number down.
I know if I can make progress, I will feel better physically & emotionally.
Have a great week everyone!
I can SO relate! This was one of the reasons I wanted to lose weight - I have so many pretty dresses, and hubby always loves it when I wear dresses. Some, like yours, still have the tags on them. But all I wear, even when we go out, is jeans, and a baggy shirt or sweater.
So after reading your post - for the first time - I also took my measurements!
We are going to get there! Just keep thinking of all those beautiful dresses you want to wear!6 -

Recap Sunday 3/4
1) Bible class & church
2) Walk dog even though gloomy & wind chill in 20s = 3.26 miles 1:00 & picked up 17 aluminum cans and 2 plastic bottles along the way (I bring extra bags for this) & put in recyclables bin / disgusting what appears after snow melts. Anyway, happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 12,325 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 30 floors
3) ETA since I forgot on Sunday: Net calories green / >10c water = Net calories red 200, sodium really red, sugar / protein / fiber good & 12c water
4) At least 1 to-do = Happy me / got 3 to-do's done
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (car to service station M a.m. to repair oil leak) = In bed & asleep before 10:00 w/ TV on / woke up & turned TV off 10:30 & back to sleep
JFT M 3/5
1) Service station before work = Not oil leak at all, guys just didn't take care to clean up properly after oil change. Relief & annoyed. At least they apologized.
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) After work walk dog / put on reflective gear / winter storm on its way, expect 3 - 7" wet, heavy snow late tonight & into tomorrow so back to treadmill (sad me)...reminder that I live in WI
4) Leftovers for lunch / not sure about supper / net calories green / monitor usual
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (may shovel before work T a.m.)
Welcome to all the newbies to JFT! This group helped me start a long logging streak and has been instrumental in getting me to my goals. Have a great Monday, all!5
