Did good yesterday and met all my goals! I even resisted popcorn at the movies!
Little late, but my goals for today are:
Log everything into my fitness pal
Drink a bottle of water every hour after noon - I've only had one so far.
Do a load of laundry. Haven't checked my dryer...
Cook dinner before we go to the Y

I followed her years ago when we had littles. One piece of advice that stuck with me was to put your shoes on even if you are staying in the house. It makes you more productive. And it is true!

Jan 10. Day 3 for me. Had my version of Egg MC Muffin for brunch this morning. Kept me good until now so will need to eat soon. To be easy on myself, I will have what I had for Dinner yesterday as I still have some left. That will leave me with 400 cal for a late evening snack. Admitted to my husband that I am trying to lose weight by eating less. I don't have to cook for him as we have different schedules so I really appreciate that. The weekend will be a little tougher as we are going out of town tomorrow so restaurant food. Will need to look at the options.

Way to go! Its a big help if you can take a look at restaurant menus before you go. Forewarned is forearmed!1 -

Morning all. A good day yesterday. Had a few emotional triggers but I kept on plan so that feels like a big win. This morning I planned for a later sleep and then a run instead of my long morning workout but the cat woke me up early and it’s raining so I guess an indoor workout is the better option. I don’t mind running in the cold and dark, but add in rain and it is unpleasant and possibly a bit dangerous.
Goals for Thursday - recap
- morning workout ✅
- Finish planning ✅
- Check in with watch place and lawyer ✅
- Email L party invite ✅
- Reply to A party invite ✅
- Water! ✅
- Book yoga ✅
- Stay mindful - re-read 2019 goals ✅ ✅ giving myself a double tick as was v tempted last night but kept on plan!
- Early night ❎ on phone to bf
Goals for Friday

- Phone bank re mortgage
- Run home at lunchtime for car
- Hot yoga after work
- Kids pack for weekend at grandparents and wash hair

Happy birthday to Saskia @bex953172 and hugs to you @maryrobinson40 - rough days happen, especially when you’re tired and groggy. Move on with peace and joy. X
Have a happy Friday everyone x4 -
I kept busy all day and was able to avoid mindless snacking.
I made Kaitlyn and Brodey coffee mugs and a hoodie and card for Rodger, I’m not very happy with the card.

Yay I did it! @snowflake1968 love those mugs. I want one! You are really talented x0 -
Didn't manage to post yesterday - I worked from home which messes with my posting routine as normally I do it on the train. I planned to post when I woke up but then I went back to sleep... I should really figure out a better routine for when I WFH....
Anyway have had a rubbish couple of days diet wise. Wednesday my boyfriend was away, and when I got home I found that he had left a large amount of cheese in the fridge, having not yet put the cheese locker into action. I was in a rather naughty mood, kind of a 'yay I have the flat to myself for the first time in ages I'm going to do whatever I want' mood. I also had the naughty thought 'this is the last time I can gorge on cheese before he instigates the cheese locker'. You can imagine what happened...
Yesterday I was doing really well, I worked from home and had stopped myself from snacking multiple times. I had a plan for what I was going to eat and was sticking to it. Then boyfriend gets home and I open the freezer to find that we didn't actually have the thing that I was going to cook. Or other available food. With online delivery not due for an hour.
So, we cracked open the Turkish delight and baileys to relieve our hunger while we waited for the online delivery. I can't really defend this, we could have just had a piece of toast. It wasn't necessary. And also, now I think about it, we could have had pasta with tuna, as we had both of those. I think we were just in the mood to relax and have more celebratory food as he'd been away for four days.
The online delivery then arrived, but by this point we were several Bailey's down and having fun so decided it would be much better to go out and have a burger. <Face palm>
I'm chuckling as I write this as the entire sequence is rather funny, except that really it isn't funny because if I keep doing this (and this sort of thing happens more often than it should) I will not reach my goal weight and also I will not do my health any good in the long run. Burgers and Baileys are not good for me!
So, I'm not going to beat myself up about this - what's the point? But equally, I'm going to make a commitment to NOT GO OUT FOR BURGERS UNLESS WE HAVE PLANNED TO DO SO. I like burgers. I am always going to eat burgers, on occasion. But, in future I will PLAN to eat burgers, at a time when I know I can fit them into my calories.
Right. New day! Commitments are:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- 3+ bottles water
- Log sabotaging thoughts
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness after each meal
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
- Give myself credit!
- 30+ minute lunch break
- Meditate
- Read Beck Diet Solution
- Gratitude journal

All will be well, especially now the cheese is on lockdown 🤣

This thread is a great idea. I started my regime on Monday7th and it's going quite well so far. The general plan is to follow the Michael Mosely 5:2 where I eat 800 calories on 2 days a week, Mediterranean style on the other days. I'm also walking at least 10000 steps a day (working in the garden, mostly) and a couple of swims per week (2km yesterday evening). Also, no alcohol during the week. I really like the idea of putting up daily goals so here goes;
Today is a non fast day but I'm going to keep it low fat and below 2000 calories.
Meet step target on fitbit
Drink enough water (2 litres). I'm really bad at this in the winter but I'll make the effort.
We're going out for lunch. Make sensible choices.
According to my rules, I can drink alcohol today but no more than 2 small glasses of wine.

Really meant to keep up with this. I get frustrated when I can't log my food, etc. I have been having trouble with the website and can't seem to post things into my food diary.
I've not done well the last couple days. Good during the day but blowing it at dinner.
Will try harder to make wiser choices

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
Today: 191.8
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding.
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. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook and lessons.
4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) 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. Take recycling to center. Wash car.
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), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, Harvey Mansfield, or Robert Adams). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
I have to sell tickets for tonight's basketball game, so rather than driving 40 minutes home, 40 minutes back, and then 40 minutes home again, I'm just going to stay through. Which probably means going out for dinner. I need to remember how useless I feel this morning after I stayed home from the Y yesterday because I was tired. It's not like I got anything done for my master's class. Didn't get any laundry put away. Didn't do dishes or any prep for today's meals. Didn't get any papers graded or lessons written. I did get to bed a little early, but not much. Mostly I vegged out and watched re-runs.
While it's important not to be too hard on yourself, to be able to forgive yourself... it can be hard to find the balance between "forgiving yourself" and "accepting defeat."1 -
