Hey all
First time poster and over feeling a bit fat!
I’m great at motivating myself until the evening, when I’m alone, kids in bed! It’s Netflix, wine and snacks!!!!!
Today I’m not going to do that! I’m going to plan my day food wisely and wake up proud. I didn’t give in to my nightly habit!!!!
I’m actually going to buy some Delights salt n vinegar and weigh them out and that will be my snack to look forward to.
Wish me luck and see you tomorrow 😊7 -
Hi all! I'm way late to the party today. It's almost TOM and my appetite has been crazy yet again. I've been doing some thinking about my mental state which can be a bit depressed or off at times, but I just have to get it off my chest. Sorry in advance for incoming word vomit..
I did not finish logging yesterday, and I did not fully log today, and I'm just going to say it's ok. I also haven't done my workout in a week either. Maybe I needed the mental break. Maybe I even, dare I say, DESERVE a break..a break from being constantly so critical of myself. A break from thinking my worth would increase if I looked like a fitness model, and that somehow in my current state (which is a normal BMI already) that I'm not good enough. A break from thinking I should feel embarrassed in a tank top if my arms aren't perfectly toned. WTF is my deal?? I would not treat somebody I care about this way. There's definitely some mental stuff I've been battling that I haven't talked about much. I can see how silly it is when others are so self critical, why can't I apply the same logic to myself?
Sometimes when I look in the mirror I don't know what's real. I can think I look fat and flabby or skinny and muscular at different times in the SAME DAY, and in the SAME MIRROR.... While wearing the SAME CLOTHES. I don't know why, but I don't like it.
Anyways, enough about that, thanks for reading if you did and I don't blame you if you didn't 😂😂.

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: 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. 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, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. 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. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: 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. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday.

@aubyshortcake.. Sister/Friend/Motivator you're one of a kind and nothing or no one compares
to you. And nobody paid me to say these things to you... (Just to make you smile)
Talk, Rant, Scream, whatever you need to do to not hold things in we are here and we listen.
We listen openly, unjudgementally, and arms wide open with love. What you feel are your feelings
and it's ok to express them to understanding people who have been in your shoes so to speak.
You're valuable, important, and so worth us loving you and you loving yourself. A lot of us,
including myself here recently have had to take a break. Sometimes with the stress of so
many people and things pulling at us, we're so used to giving out to other, people and things,
we tend to not have anything left for us to give ourselves. I had to start self healing by
spending quality time in the mirror being my own cheerleader for a change. I talk to Mary first thing
in the morning. I hug myself and say,"Mary I love you for the wonderful woman you've
grown and growing to be. Mary you're you because you have purposes, worth, and love to
share and there's only one perfectly unique you.
Each of us are here for the other. B-12 shots so to speak. We add to each other daily and
sister you're included in this "mix". You're priceless and I am so proud of you! Proud of you
for showing up in spite of your emotions. Proud of you for being brave enough to share you
with us, even though it's painful, but trusting us with your truth. Proud of you for still having the
want to, to keep trying. 👏 Bravo! Because whether you know it or not, you just gave negativity
a swift kick in the teeth and said get out of here.
You ARE LOVED!!! AS YOU! YOU'RE MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH!
BTW... I wear tanks and I have flappers that make that clapping sound and I say they're
cheering me on to my victory. So I embrace my body now, and it's not to catch up to queen
skinny, but it's to love me for me and be just as free as the skinny.
No offense to the thin bodies. You are totally loved by me, just as much as I am loving my bumps,
and lumps, flaps and claps. I am well on my way to healthy.
Hugs aubyshortcake🌹🙏💕💕💕

@aubyshortcake - I totally understand all of what you wrote and can relate. I have those days and I’m trying to just make peace with them and then get back on it when I’m ready. Hugs to you.
On that note, took a day off logging and exercising yesterday and feeling better this morning. I didn’t run as planned first thing as the bf surprised me with a visit last night and thought a bit of quality time with him this morning was more important. Two rest days in a row is almost unheard of for me unless I’m injured. But balance was my word for the year, and I think this is the balanced decision! I will, however, log and track today and stay within calorie goal.
Sunday goals:
- Pick up P from sleepover ✅
- Head to parents place for lunch and pick up L
- Laundry and finish cleaning
- June challenge
- lay out running gear
- Bed by 9:30
A simple list. Hope I can stay on it. Will be mindful of hydrating today too. Forecast is warm and I often think I’m hungry when I’m thirsty.
Have a lovely Sunday all x1 -

I am struggling to keep up with the proper calorie count, mostly because I’m going for quick and easy instead of healthy. This week I should be getting my miles in walking most days since I’ll be working.
I have almost all of the shower stuff completed now. I need to do 2 more things and then I think it’s good for crafting big amounts of stuff at least.
I do need to get a wedding gift finished and a shower gift. I think I’ll buy something small for Kaitlyn alone on her wedding day. I just haven’t figured out what that will be yet.

@aubyshortcake - I read it all. I’m the same at that time, want to eat everything! My doctor told me it’s normal and almost impossible to battle so I don’t try much anymore. As for what you look like in the mirror, I think most of us do that too. I don’t like what I see a lot, but it’s what I have and I’m slowly learning to embrace it while working towards what I want it to be.
@ZizzyBumble - that’s a letdown on the train. Hopefully you get to take it soon. I’ve been slacking on water too and it’s showing everywhere. In my skin and in my belly.
@maryrobinson40 - I love your words to Aubyshortcake. I missed you.
@clicketykeys - yay for getting the essay submitted!!! You must feel accomplished.
@Faebert - it’s nice that you are practicing balance. I think it’s good you are enjoying some rest this weekend.

I think that may be my only plan...
Well
-Stay in the green (eat back no more than half the exercise calories.👍
- No alcohol👍
- Work on Bible reading👍

JFT Sunday
- up early so I can have breakfast before church 👎
- Sunday School & Church👍
- Quick night to eat <300 cal 👎 under 400, but skipped breakfast.
- Catch a matinee at the local playhouse, then go out to a new restaurant.
- No Alcohol
- Cals within maintenance ~1650.
- Bible study, I’m in Job so it’s a struggle
Positive thought: Just because I can’t do something like I used to, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t do it.
Got my ride in yesterday 33 miles in 2:10. The first 29 miles were good, but I totally bonked making the last 4 miles awful. I didn’t quit which made me proud. The fact that I didn’t pack any fuels made me feel stupid. Needless to say I felt pretty out of it last night, even though I ate and drank. Another rookie move that I made was not having my saddle pack, meaning I had no tubes, tools or air... Luckily I made it back alive and in one piece. I’m certainly not where I used to be, but I still enjoyed the ride.
I guess it took a little more out of me than I thought as I felt hungover this morning and I haven’t drank for days.3 -
Day 2
24/6
No snacking at night other than organised snack.
Drink more water
Walk 3km with either podcast or iPad on treadmill - there’s no excuses - I have the time today!
Do some reports - cycle 4
Eat prepped food.
I’m on a 7 day kickstart - small goals are more realistic for me!

JFT 6/22 and 6/23 Recap
Drink lots of water!
Exercise 30 minutes at least per day
Eat mindfully
Drink in moderation
Have fun!
Had such a great weekend! I ate more than I probably should have but could have been a lot worse. Got in a couple of nice long walks and one run so happy with that. Got my period on Friday and it's been so painful this time so that has been hard causing me to lose sleep and retain water and feel kind of run down. Hoping that it passes by tomorrow so I can get back to feeling good.
My goal for the rest of the day is try to make some healthy choices for dinner, no alcohol, and lots of water. I definitely need to rest and recoup.

Man ive been busy this weekend, i caught myself thinking before "oh god ive ate terribly all weekend" but then i reminded myself of what ive actually done!
Saturday, we went to the city to just look around the shops, so lots of walking! With Casey on me too! Shes getting heavy now tbh, i walk so slow! And since the girls were so good we decided to go for a pub lunch/dinner (it was like 3pm) and take them into the play center!
Today we got up and went for a walk round a lake, again with Casey on me, and we had a little picnic then some icecream!
The walk wasnt long, maybe 25 mins.
And that was it, i was officially pooped!
But then when we got back we decided the garden was way out of hand! We dont own a lawn mower yet so we borrow my dads, we used it 3 weeks ago, he went on holiday for 2 weeks of that so no way to get it, and they couldnt have the girls this weekend so it has to be next weekend now. But the grass was about 2 foot high! Could barely see the dog when he was having a poop LOL
So we used the only thing we got, the strimmer for the edges.
Man it was hard work! Then we had to rake all the chopped grass out, then strim it again because as we strimmed it made the grass lie flat so we had to rake it upwards to strim it again! Then pick up long lost poos!
Ash tended to the flowers and veg patch, whilsg i finished off the strimming (hd started whilst i was seeing the neighbours puppies, so cute!)
So now we have very choppy looking grass but atleast the height is gone!
And now, NOW im officially depleted of all energy.
Im in bed now just surfing lol, too tired to even talk to Ash!5 -
Yay 7/53 done. Weekend managed will weight in next weekend and hopefully back where I was before binge week.
Day 8/53
-Exercise 30 minutes
-1600 calories
-prep for work day
Well do e everyone, can't quite keep up with everyone s goals but the day by day accountancy is helping me2 -
Hey everyone, I haven't been on for a while again. Work is getting really busy as I take on the new responsibilities and I haven't been at my desk or near a computer much. I'm really liking getting out and about, rounding at the clinics helping nursing and providers optimize their computer software.
I'm listening to a lesson on Half Size Me right now. It's a challenge to do meal planning for the next 6 weeks. It's pretty interesting how she teaches doing realistic menu planning.
We've been busy this weekend helping our granddaughter move out to her very first apartment. She's so excited but a bit overwhelmed I think. I'm very excited for her, but at the same time, after her living with us for nearly 5 years now, I'm having a bit of empty nest syndrome. Hormonal as heck! One minute I'm crying because I will miss her terribly, and the next minute I'm so happy to have our house just to me and my husband. I'm not sure what I'll do with the open room...probably make it into a proper guest room.
Anyway, I don't have time right now to catch up but I need to be accountable! So, I'm going to set goals for tomorrow, tonight.
Just for Monday:
1. Get up with alarm. No Snooze button
2. Eat breakfast.
3. Prelog meals, journal anything that differs from plan
4. Drink half my weight in oz of water
5. 30 minutes of intentional activity
6. 15 minutes outside getting fresh air
7. Work on meal plan for Week 1 of HSM challenge
8. 15 minutes decluttering
9. Read one chapter of diet/nutrition/health/lifestyle book (I have a bunch of them but have not finished any of them. My bad!)
10. Unplug one hour prior to bed, gratitude journal 5 things today, read Joyce or Dodie & Simple Abundance, Calm app, read until lights out at 10:30.
Love you all! :flowerforyou:
WOY: Tenacity / Tenacious

@maryrobinson40 Thank you.. Thank you SO much. You are so positive and uplifting. You inspire me..I hope to one day be even half the ray of sunshine that you are. I took a screenshot of what you wrote, for safe keeping to read on days I'm feeling extra low. No matter what you keep on shining and that is so admirable. Big big hugs to you, thank you for everything 💖💖
@Snowflake1968 @Faebert thank you for the support, it's nice to know I am not alone in these feelings!
Soooo.. No goals set today and no calories logged. Just lots of food eaten, and I did MOST of that driving course. Tomorrow I would like to go back to my deficit and logging, and on Tuesday I want to start the workouts back up.
I hope you all have a great night, I'll be back in the morning ready to take on a new week!!!!2 -

Weight back up again, sigh. Not really surprising after my emotional binge on Friday. Plus, whilst I 'moderated' whilst out for the day with my friend on Saturday, I still ate a fair bit. I guess it shows how much I used to eat/ would still eat if I didn't control myself!
Back on it this week. I have a few social occasions this week which will make things challenging but I'll take it one day at a time and will keep pushing at this mindful moderation!4 -

Argh...I wrote responses to many of you, then accidentally closed the tab.
Now I don't have the time to rewrite it, so I'll just send you all a big hug. I hope you're all doing good, taking care of yourself, loving yourself and making the best of the day.
Last week I was eating low-calorie for most of the week (because of the light sickness), but on the weekend there were some family celebrations, so indulging in food was inevitable. I feel huge today, but I know it's just a feeling, not reality (after only two days of eating over my calories). Today I am getting back to my habits, which means:
- drinking a lot of water and only water (besides tea and coffee)
- avoiding junk snacks for the rest of the day
- eating light dinner
I want to eat less because I'd like to lose weight, but not only because of it...I want to eat less because I feel much better when I do. It's actually much more enjoyable mode of being when you feel light and when you move easier.5 -
So sorry I’ve not checked in for a while. Also no time to read back.
Update:
Just wanted to give y’all an update. I hope and I can start back soon. I moved my parents from Tennessee to Texas. Lots of worriesAnd issues. My mother and father are both worse ever been. I have managed to maintain dieting pretty well so, I have dropped a few more pounds. Also, didn’t realize until I just looked down at my Fitbit that I guess I’ve been doing lots walking.over 12,000 steps yesterday. Hope to be back soon. I hope y’all have all been doing well.

I am hoping to have a good week food wise, I thought I would at least be getting my walks in because of work, but the weather is not cooperating. It might be a good thing today as I woke up with a charlie horse this morning. I think that is due to not enough water over the last few days. I'm working on that today.
I'll check in later if I have a minute. I'm training so no time to be on social media at work.
