    Yesterday went great. I ended up getting a salad while we were out instead of something far worse. I also didnt sneak any food.

    My goal just for today
    -track as best as I can (going out of town for a family Easter party)
    -Chew food slowly in order to enjoy my bites more
    -Socialize with at least 2 people and do not isolate myself
    -Make healthy choices if possible

    I hope you all have a wonderful day! The birds are singing and the sun is half out today

    Good morning! Yesterday I went a little over but it was controlled, I decided it's ok to go over on the weekend as long as I stay under maintenance (with the exception of special occasions, then I hope to just be under maintenance for my weekly average). I did not wash the dogs.. Ugh, I really really need to, at least Kya. She's the easy one anyway so I should just get it over with.

    Positive thought: Even though I frequently haven't met all the goals I put on my list, I have consistently been working out 3x a week without skipping for over 8 weeks now!

    @bookmeister86 You are so right! I need to try that, determine which things I absolutely must do and which things I'd just like to get done at some point. Thank you!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday, and sending extra love and hugs to you today @maryrobinson40

    Yesterday 4/13:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal😑 stayed within maintenance
    3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps😁 got 8k
    4. Do workout😁
    5. Give Rukia her p.m. pill😞 I totally forgot!! Ugh!
    6. Brush Rukia (she's looking a bit raggedy lol)😞
    7. Bathe both dogs (Kya definitely rolled in something dead yesterday and stinks to all hell!)😞

    JFT 4/14:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal (100 over limit for today)
    3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps
    4. Give Rukia her p.m. pill
    5. Wash and put away two loads of laundry
    6. Bathe Kya the stinker

    Hi all, having a bit of a mixed weekend. Was all excited to see the bf and go out for dinner yesterday, but he was in a bad mood and we ended up having a bit of a silly row. This morning I went for a run to try and clear my head but came back to find him feeling ill and so running hunger plus boredom plus eating alone has meant I’ve grazed quite a lot with not many cals left for the rest of the day (nearly 4pm here). Oh well, I won’t worry about it if I’m over today, probably still under for the week so no big deal. Just a bit fed up really! Posting for accountability but, as you see, today’s list is v short. Going to go and walk now and try and earn a few more cals and a bit more peace of mind! X

    Saturday goals recap:
    - morning walk ✅
    - pay G for baby shower gift ✅
    - ice cake and write card ✅
    - laundry ✅
    - cleaning ✅
    - tan ✅ yes but a DIY job as ran out of time
    - groceries ✅
    - pack and head to bf ✅
    - dinner out (enjoy but be mindful) ✅ ate a very decent amount but had plenty of exercise cals and even with generous guesstimate was well under

    Sunday goals
    - morning run ✅ longest ever run, lovely sunshine!
    - sort things one way or another with bf
    - Walk, hydrate
    - rest

    @AgentAmandaB41419 Welcome to a great community. I am a newbie also. Staying in the Green is being under your expended calories for the day. Based on the profile you've set up in MFP (current weight, height, age, activity level) it will calculate how many calories you burn in a day, then you log all your food and at the end of the day the number of calories you used will be Green (for under) or Red (for over).

    Had a nice Saturday gardening (this year I have been effected by SAD so being in the sunshine is wonderful). Love the feeling of filling up those garden waste containers! The bad news was I had a second lunch with our daughter and her children at a great Mexican place (one shrimp taco and some beans) and then had a fun date night with my hubby and broke both my rule and new mantra - No wine or snacks after dinner. I was about 400 in the red yesterday. :s
    We consider gardening as cross training and my body sure feels it today.We'll get back out there today.

    JST 4/14/19
    Pre-track my day of eating
    Do some self hypnosis (seemed to help for 3 days)
    Read
    Garden and clean the outdoor furniture - almost finished with rain
    Be satisfied with 1600 calories
    No wine or snacks after dinner

    I had a great day yesterday. Spent the afternoon with my friend while the kids played at the park and we sat and watched them play for a while.

    Had a nice easy supper and then cleaned some more in the craft room after the Grands left.

    I avoided my constant snacking last night after Rodger went to bed, this is huge for me! I chewed gum and only had my 1 snack. When I felt like I was going to give in, I went to bed instead. I really need to do this every night.

    I received a text from a friend that told me about a job that I am going to send a resume for. I’ll do that today as well as finish the craft room and maybe start a couple of projects for myself.

    Aubyshortcake - I firmly believe in a relaxing day once a week. I grew up knowing that Sunday was for family and relaxing. My Dad worked every other day and most evenings too, but Sunday was for us. I tried to install that in my daughters as well. I think it’s necessary just to be able to handle the next week and is an important part of our mental health which is also part of adulting.

    Layfayetteanna- it sounds like your gym has lots to offer. That’s awesome! 400 in the red is at least still maintenance.

    Maryrobinson40- what a great looking family. You look so close. I hope your niece is found. Thinking of you today and tomorrow.

    Bex953172 - my eldest was talking the other day about her fear of round brushes still from one getting caught when she was young. Hope you got it out easily. Vet bills are one of the reasons I won’t have pets. My fear is I would get one, fall in love and then something happen that I couldn’t afford. Maybe you can get out for a walk by yourself for a bit.

    Zizzybumble - sounds like a perfect day.

    Hegoddard0928 - I love you you were able to get your new laptop. Good for you. In case I don’t check in later, good luck on your first day tomorrow.

    Littleblackskirt - woohoo for overweight and not obese! That is a big!

    Agentamandab41419 - welcome. I started participating in this group a year ago and truthfully think it has been instrumental in helping me lose 25lbs. I’ve struggled badly the last few months but still keep coming here. Stay in the green means to stay within your calorie goals for the day. When you log your meals and go over the number turns red. There is no caution yellow either. 😂

    Clicketykeys - maybe you need to figure out how to get yourself a rest day from everything. You have been going, going, going for so long that maybe your body and mind are saying stop I can’t take anymore.

    Faebert - I hope things settle with your bf. it seems you see each other so rarely and yet have a hard time not having little rows.

    Wow! I missed two days and I was more than 100 posts behind! Lol. Guess what I'm typing this post on?!

    That's right! My new laptop! Lol. I love this thing so much. I should have upgraded a long time ago. I've spent the last 2 days exploring it and adjusting settings and things. It's been so much fun!

    I also got my hair done today! I look NOTHING like I used to and I love that too! Lol. I have a huge break out on my face at the moment so I'll take a picture when I actually have makeup on. Lol. Woman problems!

    Matt is still not well. I called the doctor on Friday and asked what to do and he said to get Matt a probiotic, which I did but it doesn't seem to be working yet. Although he has only been taking it for 2 days. So we're still hoping it'll work. He called out from work yesterday and today and probably will tomorrow as well. It just sucks because I have no idea how to help him. Le sigh...

    Thursday and Friday were terrible days food wise. Although I did got for my 4-mile walk that I hadn't done all winter so that was nice. But today was a much better day food wise. I didn't do much movement but tomorrow I am bound and determined to go to the gym! I must!

    The group that I joined on Twitter has a couple of women who are also in the process of losing weight so we are all going to be each other accountable. We all started Instagrams to showcase our weight loss and things. So we're all really excited to start that.

    JFT, 4-14-19

    1. Log all food
    2. Go to the gym
    3. Take initial Instagram photo
    4. DISHES
    5. Do what I can for Matt
    6. Finish editing ARW
    7. Fold clothes

    Okay, I think I'll leave it at that for tomorrow.

    Whats actually wrong with Matt? Whats making him so poorly? X

    We don't know. That's part of the problem. He hasn't been able to keep any food in his body for more than half an hour for about 2 weeks now. The doctor put him on antibiotics for Diverticulitis but either they aren't working or they're making him nauseous as well. So the doctor said to take a probiotic which he is doing but that doesn't seem to be working either. He needs to get some tests done so tomorrow morning I have to go to the doctor's office to pick up the test prescriptions and get them done. He hasn't gone in to work all weekend so we are out of a lot of money right now. It's really pretty scary.

    Oh god that is qjite scary, the whole not knowing thing!
    I really hope they come back with some answers ASAP!

    isnt that costing you ALOT of money? Your healthcare works differently to ours!

    Happy Saturday!! This week was SO busy at work, I am beat. I hope to get some things done this weekend but I also feel like I really just need some chill time. Sometimes I feel like I go too easy on myself when I say that, and that I should just be like "suck it up, you have things to do, adulting isn't easy", but I don't want to burn myself out on life either, so I often feel conflicted.

    I can totally relate to this, it's how I feel pretty much every weekend!!!

    Lately I've been trying to strike a balance and get SOME things done, but also allow time for chilling and fun as well.

    I find that making a plan for the weekend on a Thursday / Friday night helps - I look at my list and decide which things I NEED to do, and which things I can put off to give me more time for myself.

    I think striking a balance is important. If we spend all our spare time 'doing' we end up exhausted. But also, if we spend all our time 'not doing' then the 'to do' pile keeps growing and that isn't good either! (Partly because of the stress that comes with a growing backlog!) So it's finding a balance between those two things.

    And also, what also helps is deciding which things just don't need doing at all because actually, they are not a priority. I have decided that vacuuming my flat basically falls into this category. I'll do it when we have guests, or if it gets REALLY disgusting.... But otherwise, I just don't care :smiley:

    You are so right about balance. I don't want to live in a home that is so spit spot that it's uncomfortable (lady used to baby sit me who was such a clean freak she wouldn't allow the top of wood furniture such as dressers, etc be touched). But nor do I want to be in/live in a home that is filthy or has piles of clutter.

    I think folks who work outside the home really have to work to strike that balance. I remember my mom would spend 20 minutes in the evening moving through the house, picking up cups, emptying her ashtray, and hanging up her clothes just before bedtime so that she only had to dust the house and clean the bathroom on the weekends. She kept her makeup in a drawer in the bathroom and just quickly wiped the counter and sink when she was finished. If needed, she would start laundry as soon as she got up in the morning, and would have it in the dryer that evening. But because she would spend a little time each day, it never got the yucky grime-y level of dirt that takes a lot of elbow grease a lot of time on the weekend. She had plans! She was an avid bridge player and she and my dad had frequent social gatherings.

    My dad shared in the chores. He vacuumed, grocery shopped each week, and helped clean the kitchen. He also kept his bathroom clean and they changed the sheets together. It was definitely a team effort. And again, just as you are doing, they figured out a balance that worked for them. Funny what one reminisces over, lol! Peace and joy

    The insurance is kinda helping but I know we'll get billed for the tests which will be expensive. It seems like he's able to keep food in him for longer now. So that's a good sign. He ate 3.5 hours ago. He's nauseous but he hasn't been sick yet. So keeping my fingers crossed that he might be getting better.

    Holy cow ... I miss one day, and I am behind reading by over 100 posts! Such an active group... but that means more support and encouragement!

    I did way too much eating all weekend ... just not really caring. Our daughter is refusing to stay with us, so we will probably just call the doctor, and let the doctor know the observations we are making. I am trying not to worry... and mainly... trying not to eat out of stress or emotional reasons. My weight was down -2.5 for fridays weigh in, so I am down almost 10.6 pounds since I started with WW, but if I am not careful, I will be back up. So the meetings really do help me ... at least to get back on track. I only have 6 weeks left of WW, and I refuse to keep paying, so I'll be back logging my food then on here, and incorporate the things I am learning.

    So I have to remember to drink water before I want to mindlessly grab something to eat!
    This week is our 42nd wedding anniversary, so hubby says we will just celebrate all week (the benefit of working out of our home... and business is slow right now!). We have to pay $3000 to have THREE trees cut in our yard, and one of those trees is a tree that shades our patio. We hate to see that tree taken down, but the tree guy told us is we don't, at some point it will split and break ... causing damage to other trees, our neighbors fence, etc. So, we have no choice. So hubby bought a umbrella, and today we went and got some chair cushions ... so our patio looks awesome!

    So my goals for tomorrow, again, will be simple
    1. log all my food
    2. LOOK up how many calories/points food is before I eat it. Have a plan
    3. concentrate on water .. january challenge = 8+ water
    4. feb challenge - only 1 nite time snack, and I will try and have it be a zero pt food
    5. march challenge - for for 15 minute walk after dinner
    6. april challenge - something positive

    SO my positive thought for the weekend is that our daughter, while she refuses to stay overnite, at least she came out. We are her safe place. .. her stability. For that, I am thankful for, that we can be there for her, in whatever way we can.

    Apr 1st: 162.75
    Apr 15th: 164.25

    Hmph, so am back where I started before the recent loss.

    I can't be surprised really. I ate large amounts the week before last when I had a bad week, and whilst I was better last week I let it slip on Saturday (yesterday was good).

    Oh well, moving on. This week I will make sure at the very least I maintain. It will be challenging this week as I'm going to France for Easter and this will involve lots of tasty food and wine. Need to make sure I:
    A) Stay in the green across Mon - Thu, ideally building up a deficit
    B) Treat myself across Fri - Sun but not too much. Stay within maintanance (will take my running kit to help with this)

    Have a good week all!

    Morning all. Am starting today feeling pretty good. Yesterday was a bit rubbish emotionally but I feel like I did my best to counteract that. I went for a long run, ate a huge meal, then did plenty of walking and avoided any late binging. I even ended up in the green for the day!

    Today my kids get back from their mini break with their dad and we will be straight into play dates and a sleepover here. Going to go to my Warrior class this morning and get some errands done before they get back. Need to focus on the positives; other than my relationship things are going fairly well at the moment. I mustn’t let it drag me down.

    Sunday goals recap:
    - morning run ✅ longest ever run, lovely sunshine!
    - sort things one way or another 😐 he was sick so I’m not sure we really did.
    - rest✅

    Monday goals:
    - Warrior class 9:30
    - Pick up groceries and pet food
    - Tan
    - Text P re getting together
    - Call conveyancer to make appt
    - Sort passport docs
    - Girls unpack - do laundry straight away
    - L play date at 3? Check arrangements
    - P play date and sleepover
    - Bed by 9:30

    Have a good Monday everyone x

    JFT 14th April

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green No. finished at about 1900, way over!!!
    Back stretches yes
    Do the dishes! Another one with a big pile, what happened to clearing up every night? yes
    Just enjoy Sunday with family, we may take dogs to a little bit of beach

    Had a nice afternoon with the family. We did go to the local beach for a walk, it was very windy and cold. I was pleased that I managed to walk with my back pain. Then I went home, having exercised and not eaten anything. Good "dieting" afternoon, yes?...
    My family live close. They invited themselves round for the evening and suggested getting in pizzas. So I had a lovely day, but the food was a disaster! I tried to be sensible, had a small 6 inch pizza, and only a few chips, but they brought chocolate cake :) So well into the red.

    Positive thought - I love having my family living close by, and having them all gathered together. I also like seeing my boys interacting as brothers now they are adults. I am so lucky.

    @maryrobinson40 , thinking of you today, sending you big hugs. Glad you have your family around you.

    @Faebert , sorry your weekend wasn't the best with the bf. It must be difficult when you can only meet up now and again.

    @HEGoddard0928 , I feel for you so much coping with Matt's illness. Being sick and feeling nauseous is just horrible, poor Matt. And so hard for you, trying to help him and having to live with it too. No-one here will mind if you want to rant about it. I so hope he improves soon.

    @Bex953172 , hope you have a better week this week :)

    I am not in a good headspace right now and I'm doing my best not to eat the whole house. I don't even know why I'm such a crap mood. I'm just depressed and lonely. I shouldn't be lonely. Matt is in the other room in a chat with some of our friends. I should put on a headset and join them but I have no motivation right now. I still have the dishes and folding clothes on my list for today but it's already almost 9 and all I want to do is curl up under a blanket and go to sleep. But if I do I'll be up at like 4. I don't want that. I don't know what's wrong with me right now.

    It sounds like youre emotionally burnt out! This is how i felt when my partner was sick for 2 days! Your whole routine with Matt is out the window, you cant do things together like you did before he was ill. And for you its been 2 weeks!
    You want to help him, but you cant. Makes you feel pretty useless right? But you are doing everything you can! Being there for him, helping with the appointments, reassuring him. You are there for him.
    Remember the 3 Cs!
    You didnt cause it
    You cant change it
    You cant cure it.

    I hope you get a good nights rest!
