    @clicketykeys great job not backing down! Glad everything is ok.

    @Snowflake1968 you definitely did the right thing! Those boys are lucky you happened to be there! A few years ago we had a 2 year old girl standing outside our fence, butt naked, looking at our dogs. Luckily we found out she came from the house across the street, but still.... This toddler was crossing the street and her mother didn't even know she was missing!

    @HEGoddard0928 I'm sorry you're struggling, big hugs. I hope things will get easier for you soon.

    Good morning all! Back to work today, I'm dreading the catching up I'll have to do.. Oh well.

    Yesterday was long, it took us forever to find a shop to ultimately have my car towed to. Apparently my husband and I didn't know enough about cars that when we put the wheel adapters on we tightened them way too much, which caused too much stress on my lugs on the wheel hub and one by one they were snapping off, so my whole wheel was just wobbling! We finally found a place that can do it toward the end of the day, so hopefully today we can pick it up. I guess I will have to push my workout until tomorrow because I probably won't have time tonight.

    I was doing well with my calories then last night turned into a free for all. Idk if it was the stress or what but I totally lost control and had about 3,300 calories.. The day after I tried so hard and succeeded to be good 😭. Oh well.. Today is a new day..

    I hope everyone has a great day!

    Yesterday 5/20:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal😞😞
    3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps😞
    4. Give Rukia her p.m. pills😞I completely forgot.. Ugh
    5. Cook dinner😁

    JFT 5/21:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal
    3. Go for a walk at lunch
    4. Give Rukia her p.m. pills
    5. Tidy up living room

    Have a blessed day!!

    I tracked over 3000 steps on my fitbit, took a shower washed my hair and took a little walk at our recreation area.
    Almost getting back to a "normal" day. It wore me out in a good way and took a 2 hour nap. Today will be a similar day. I have good energy in the AM so I'll do some chores before PT then rest in the PM.

    JFT 5/21/19
    Pre-track to 1500 calories
    Prepare dinner this morning
    PT at 10:00 AM
    Board meeting 12-1:30 via conference call
    Exercises 2-3X

    To the newbies who have mentioned snacking after dinner, that is my downfall too. I am working hard to create a new habit of no snacking or wine after dinner. When I look at my weight gain after retirement it was due to treating everyday like a weekend night and treating myself to an after dinner glass of wine which leads me to a lot of snacking. Take care everyone.

    Well last night sucked. I just spiralled down into a depression. Even cuddling with Matt in the couch didn't make me feel better. Plus I slept like crap last night. Our money issues will be figured out by Friday. We just have to make it until then. I'm back to school today after taking yesterday off. And as much as I love my job I would love to just spend today asleep. But that's the depression talking. I know that everyone says it's not surprising that I'm depressed because of how bad the last 9 months have been for us but I really really hate feeling like this. I spent my teenage years feeling this way. I never wanted to go back to that again. And yet, here I am. Oh well I guess.

    As you once told me, I’m here if you need to talk. I know I can’t fix anything, but sometimes talking about things will reveal a new path you can take. Hugs to you. Message me if you’d like.

    I drink Yogi Bedtime Tea after dinner to curb my desire for anything else. It satisfies me and makes me sleepy so I'll actually go to bed. IDK if this would work for any of you struggling with after dinner snacks and wine but I thought I'd share with you anyways. 😊

    I didn’t do a lot yesterday after helping the little wanderers. Rodg and I went to buy some fertilizer for the lawn and I bought some stain for the bathroom door. If it ever gets nice, I’ll get that door stained so it will be ready to hang.

    Today I need to do some more crafting for the bachelorette and I need to design some tags for the wedding.

    @HEGoddard0928 - I hope the next tests show something that will get Matt some quick help. It must be a terrible feeling for him. I have dealt with depression seriously 3 times that I remember. One was postpartum, it lasted for a couple or three years before I knew what it was. The second time lasted close to a year before I recognized it, the 3rd time I recognized in 3 months or so, I think that one was the easiest to handle because I recognized it earlier and was able to take some steps to help get me to a better place. I hope that you recognizing it will be helpful in climbing out of it. Hugs to you.

    @aubyshortcake - You were very lucky that you didn't have a tire fly off on the highway. Hopefully all is well now.

    @nlmackey98 - I'm so sorry for your loss. I so agree with you on the forgive and move on. So many people let their anger swallow them whole.

    @AJB1014 - It's all coming together. When is the wedding?

    I know there was a lot more I wanted to comment on, but I read through without making notes and I don't want to go through again to refresh my memory. I slept in this morning and feel like I've wasted the day already.

    I just did not feel like doing what I needed to today. Went out for the day, missed lunch and had a calorific late afternoon snack instead, did not want dinner so had cheese and biscuits with port. Felt sleepy late afternoon and chose to snooze rather than going for a walk. I should be getting up early tomorrow for a swim and expect that I will struggle. Off to drink some water before bed.

    @bookmeister86 - Bien fait avec Duo! Pourquoi etudiez la français? Pour travailler? Les vacances?

    Mon copain est français ! D'abord, c'était seulement pour apprendre la langue et pour parler avec sa famille, notamment sa mère qui me fait peur :smile: Mais maintenant je réalise que je voudrais habiter en France pour quelque temps. J'aime beaucoup le pays (en particulier le vin, le fromage et le temps qui est beaucoup meilleur qu'en Angleterre !) et ce serait un aventure !
    Et c'est possible que ce sera nécessaire assez bientôt, à cause du Brexit....! (Mon copain travaille pour une entreprise européenne et c'est possible que son travail pourrait se déplacer en France). Donc, je me prépare....

    JFT:
    Yoga 30 minutes :/
    30 minutes of whatever cardio I'm feeling :)
    Stay within calories :'(
    5 minute meditation before yoga :/
    drink water-fill bottle twice :|

    Not a great day goal wise but tomorrow is another day. Did manage a 45 minute walk, but ate too much and had a few drinks. Bad idea on a Tuesday. No reason except it was nice out and I had no where to be for once. My mantra-it is what it is and I am not going to let it derail me. Tomorrow is another chance to make good decisions.

    Log Accurately- B)
    60 minutes walking B) 68 minutes (intentional, 14,000 steps)
    Weights and stretches B) after work
    Pay bills B)
    Desk at work—clear some stacks-Good start but not done

    Felt good about today. The more days I meet basic weight goals, the more natural it becomes. Also have more energy for doing things around the house (like actually clean the stainless steel appliances instead of looking at them and thinking about it).

    Log Accurately
    60 minutes walking
    Trash to the curb
    Continue Desk work/file clean out at office
    Buy salad stuff for church dinner and prep

    Best to all. For those struggling, just keep trying.

    A pretty good day yesterday, I went to the pub with my friend for dinner/drinks but I managed to stick to my plan and stay in control, so only ended up 200 over - which I can make back with my run this morning.

    I'm on my train in to run to work. I've lost quite a bit of fitness/muscle strength due to going on holiday and not exercising, and my legs already hurt from the exercise DVD I did two days ago ... I will push through though! I've run with aching legs before and from memory the aches settle down as I get warmed up.

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smiley:
    - Stick to food plan :smile:
    - 3+ bottles water :neutral:Finishing my third now. ..
    - Max 3 G&T at pub, no wine I allowed myself to swap one for a wine, because I ordered a lighter dinner than I had planned. This isn't that great as I had planned to avoid wine not just because of the calories but because it has more of an effect on my willpower and self control and I knew I would need both to make me go home on time, pack bag in the morning, and get up on time for run! However, I managed to stick to just one (before switching to G&T) and then I did all the things anyway so that's a win!)

    - No eating whilst standing :smile:
    - Savour every bite :smile:
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :smiley:
    - Give myself credit! :smile:
    - Stay positive :smile:

    - 45+ minute lunch break :smile:
    - French vocab (new + practise) :smile:
    - French verbs (practise) :/Not enough time for this one. I'm challenging myself with all this French at the moment!
    - French podcast :smile:
    - Duolingo :smile:
    - Leave work by 6.30pm :
    - Train home by 22.15 latest :smile:
    - Pack back for running :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :/forgot about this one


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - Be in the green with a 250+ deficit
    - 4 bottles water
    - No alcohol
    - Run to work

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
    - Give myself credit!
    - Stay positive

    - 45+ minute lunch break
    - French vocab (new + practise)
    - French podcast
    - Talk to boyfriend in French
    - Duolingo
    - Finish work at 5pm
    - Practice presentation before class
    - Pack suitcase for long weekend
    - Gratitude journal

    Weekly calorie balance: 200 in red

    Today's positive thought: Nearly the long weekend where I get to go home and see my mum :smile:

    Words for 2019: Mindful Moderation

    How I will exercise mindful moderation today: By sticking to my food plan.


    I'm super busy at the moment - my scary French is in 2.5 weeks and I'm really stepping up work for it (as per the long list above....) I'm quite nervous about it but hopefully I'll be ok. I'm not too worried about the writing/reading/listening parts - we've done mock exams and I've always done reasonably, so I should pass and maybe even do well in the reading/writing (listening is always hard for me). But I'm quite nervous about the speaking as I struggle with confidence at actually SPEAKING French and we also have only just been taught about the type of exercise that we have to do, which I find hard as essentially it involves making up opinions on stuff I have no opinions on, which I struggle to do in English! So, much practice is needed.

    This is keeping me pretty busy so I don't really have time to reply to posts, even though there are ones I want to reply to. So I just wanted to say that I am reading the posts (I need to know how you all are!) And sending love, best wishes and hugs to you all (particularly @HEGoddard0928 ) xx

    JFT 5/22

    30 minutes yoga
    30 minutes running
    log all food & stay in green
    Drink more water -Fill bottle at least twice
    Choose healthy at lunch out
    Meditation x 3 (one minute breathing exercises)

    Did not make great choices yesterday and I'm working on just letting it go while at the same time remembering how those choices make me feel after the fact. I didn't spiral into the bad choices which is a huge improvement. I am so much better at moving forward after a poor decision than I used to be. Mantra-I will make bad choices but they are not an excuse to make even more bad choices. Also-today is a new day and I can just move forward with new knowledge.
