    I've been exhausted and kind of running myself into the ground....so today, I'm keeping it very simple. We have a dinner to go to right after I get off work and I have a million things to do on my lunch break. Today's mfp goal - keep it under 1300 cal. I'm going to skip lunch and concentrate on water intake. I should still be able to get in 3000-4000 steps and do my push ups/plank this evening.

    That's it for today................ (now tomorrow, that's another story! :smiley: )

    You ladies are so inspiring!! I wish I could make myself more consistent but right now I'm just trying to "keep my head above water." I am making some changes; I found a "home" church to attend weekly. I will not let my husband keep us from going. This week my husband is on a week long motorcycle trip. (Must be nice to get away and get some breathing room.) So I'm using this time to try and strengthen myself emotionally. Things got REAL bad emotionally last Friday so I went to my doctor's office. She gave me some anxiety meds to help me through all this. It has helped me sleep at night (being able sleep is wonderful) and it cuts the anxiety attacks out in the evening. I know this is a temporary fix but I'm working on a long term plan this week. I have some new organic anxiety teas, I'm going to try and exercise again, and I WILL attend church EVERY Sunday!!! When my husband gets back from his trip, he said he'll discuss what he wants in our relationship. So I'm turning all this over to God and I'm going to work on building myself back up. I used to be soooo confident and cheerful. I still have that in me, I just need to unburie it.

    Tuesday JFT:

    ▪Exercise (x1 DVD)
    ▪Log food accurately

    I'm not going to obligate more than those two items plus my regular day of taking care of 4 kids for today. I am going to teach myself how to control my anxiety instead of the other way round.

    Be blessed. 😊

    I'd give you a big hug if I could - I went to church alone for several years. I hope you found one that's a great fit for you. My old church in Texas had incredible women's programs/studies/support system. There was a lady on staff that was the women's pastor and always had an open door for anyone that needed counseling. She helped me tremendously when my world was falling apart & I was battling anxiety.

    Good Afternoon Everyone!
    WARNING: THIS POST MAY BE LONG AND UNINTERESTING 😀
    My "NO"
    I feel I need to explain my reason behind my saying no and what it means to me.
    This thread and this journey are very important to me. Some of the first ladies to embrace
    me for me: mytime, PackerFanInGB, Faebert, Bex, cschmitz, bacTrai, ABJ1014ABJ1014.
    And a few others that immediately welcomed me when I began last year. They came during
    a much needed embrace. Something had to be done. My first step was saying no to not doing
    anything to get Mary back on track to Live again. I mean really doing it. I had made some lame
    attempts before.(To be continued) battery almost empty

    Yes, indeed, changing your word is very powerful! That means you are thinking about it, planning, on the move. This is all good. I will tell you what has helped me. And of course it all depends on the season of your life. I know what my ultimate goal is and that has not changed. But sometimes we have to change how we are getting there or when, etc. Because of LIFE.

    Write down all that you were doing that led to weight loss. Next, put a check on anything that you are still doing consistently, meaning 5 out of 7 days at least. You want to keep doing those!

    Now. Choose one, and only one item that didn't get a check mark. Begin doing this particular action for one week, or until you make it 6 out of the 7 days. So for me, I chose water. I had gotten out of the habit. So I got out my magic cup (this time it is a wine goblet that measures one cup!) and I began chugging that water again!

    I have pretty much gotten back on the water wagon within a week. So then I chose the next un-checked item that was on my list, which, for me, was exercising 30 minutes a day. And of course I am continuing with the water and the other items I was already doing, such as not eating before 10am.

    This is my third week and I am finally back to logging all my food. Next week I hope to fine tune it and pre-log as it really makes a huge help in not going over the calories, etc.

    Okay, I hope this helps. As I said, it all depends on the person and the season he/she is in. I know you can attain your goal because you are one stubborn woman!!!

    Keep us updated on how you are using your new word!

    Peace and joy!

    And errrrr... what if there are no ticks? :innocent::flushed::lol:

    Bex you could look at it another way. You know so much about weight loss and give great advice and support on here. So try to trouble-shoot yourself. What are the things that are holding you back? Which of those can you change? Some of them are unavoidable (stress from the kids? Is for me at any rate!) but maybe some of them you can tackle, like prepping and logging in advance, for example, so when Ash gets something off plan or suggests treats you can say no easier because your stuff is already prepped? Or maybe it is getting half an hour a day to yourself to exercise, because I get the sense from your posts that when you’ve been active you’re more motivated with diet?

    Just a few ideas and I may be completely wrong. But you might find it helpful to run through some of the mental and practical barriers one by one and see what you can adjust. X

    LOL omg thats so true! I didnt even realise!

    The only time i can exercise really is after dinner when thr girls are in bed, but im either too full or too tired. Nearly always too tired. Dont know if thats thyroid related but as soon as dinner has been ate then im done. Thats why i rarely get the kitchen clean after dinner.
    Its when my procrastination is almost unbeatable. Mehh

    Back for my update. Had a good day. I’ve been working on getting down off a plateau. I’m so close to my goal (7lbs) but seem to be hitting a glass floor. Although, if truth be told, I probably need to be more focused on firming muscle than losing weight at the moment. I’ve had a couple of injuries, and recovery is much slower than I would like.

    JFT ~|~ 2019

    FOOD:
    • Prelog food, balance macros/micros ✅
    • follow through ✅ under goal, and lots of spare exercise calories
    • Hydration ✅

    EXERCISE:
    • 6000+ steps ✅ 6800+
    • 15+ mins strength ✅ 17 mins lower body
    • 15+ mins flexibility ✅ 25 mins yoga

    OTHER:
    • Attend Craft Group am ✅
    • Spend time with DH ✅ We worked on clearing out our wee boat. It’s getting a new engine next week.
    • Meditation ✅ moving meditation 4 salute to the sun.
    • Do accounts 🤓 Started. Will finish tomorrow.

    What are your net calories. Im sure i read somewhere that increasing your food intake (but still under maintainence) can kickstart a plateau.. dont quote me on it though lol!

    Also, what do you do in your craft group? :)

    Net calories are 1450, but I usually eat about 100 above that if I have earned extra calories. I do eat up to my max including exercise calories from time to time. If I set calories to MFP maintenance, I usually gain weight, so I tend to keep them set using TDEE calculation to lose 1 lb a week.

    I've hit regular plateau, but I always manage to move again eventually. I was just venting a little in my post. Lol! I've been down at my goal several times, but got a bit lax last year. It so difficult to shift those final few lbs and keep them off.

    It's a fortnightly Craft Group. I'm working on a cross-stitch picture of a mother giraffe and two baby giraffes at the moment, but I do have quite a number of different Craft projects on the go. Today was our final Craft meeting until September.

    It’s 6pm and I’m just getting a chance to update and post goals. I am exhausted!!!! My brain is filled with all of the new things I’m learning and it’s draining me.

    I don’t have to do anything tonight except rest and maybe try to get to bed early.

    I am pretty sure I’m going to absolutely love my job, the people are wonderful and I’ve found out that there are wonderful benefits, a RRSP and 3 weeks holidays beginning April 1st. Today is the first day I’ve been able to walk though because of the weather.

    I’m hoping to take a bit of time tonight to read and catch up!

    @Bex953172 Yes! I think "change" is a good word for you! Keep moving forward. What one change are you making today???

    Peace and joy!

    Pfft i dont know LOL
    I think maybe changing my word counts? Haha.
    And also having a written plan on what i want to achieve but more importantly, HOW im going to achieve that!

    If anyone has any tips on what aspects i should look at then feel free to shout out! Im running pretty low on ideas on where to start haha!

    Yes, indeed, changing your word is very powerful! That means you are thinking about it, planning, on the move. This is all good. I will tell you what has helped me. And of course it all depends on the season of your life. I know what my ultimate goal is and that has not changed. But sometimes we have to change how we are getting there or when, etc. Because of LIFE.

    Write down all that you were doing that led to weight loss. Next, put a check on anything that you are still doing consistently, meaning 5 out of 7 days at least. You want to keep doing those!

    Now. Choose one, and only one item that didn't get a check mark. Begin doing this particular action for one week, or until you make it 6 out of the 7 days. So for me, I chose water. I had gotten out of the habit. So I got out my magic cup (this time it is a wine goblet that measures one cup!) and I began chugging that water again!

    I have pretty much gotten back on the water wagon within a week. So then I chose the next un-checked item that was on my list, which, for me, was exercising 30 minutes a day. And of course I am continuing with the water and the other items I was already doing, such as not eating before 10am.

    This is my third week and I am finally back to logging all my food. Next week I hope to fine tune it and pre-log as it really makes a huge help in not going over the calories, etc.

    Okay, I hope this helps. As I said, it all depends on the person and the season he/she is in. I know you can attain your goal because you are one stubborn woman!!!

    Keep us updated on how you are using your new word!

    Peace and joy!

    And errrrr... what if there are no ticks? :innocent::flushed::lol:

    well, then you can only go up up up, lolol!!! And remember what you said...you aren't going to change if you don't start to change. So get going! And remember we aren't looking for perfection...just progress!

    @nlmackey98 - I hope you can repair your friendship with your friend. I wanted to give you a little something to think about though and I hope that it helps you see your friends side a bit.

    I have a friend that is bipolar, she was only diagnosed in 2016 right after her 50th birthday. I have known her for since she was 14. There have been several “manic” episodes throughout those years that I have stuck by, forgiven for the awful things she has said and made excuses for her with other friends and family. I have always stood by her and rode the waves as best I could. There have been twice that I couldn’t do it though. Once she was calling me telling me how she was having sex with strange men, doing drugs, laughed when she told me my Goddaughter (her daughter) who was about 8 at the time was scared in a Park because some of her (my friends) make friends were saying raunchy things to her. My eldest Goddaughter moved out and I tried calling their Dad to rescue the youngest one. I still stuck by her and would take every call. (We lived miles apart) until the day we had a house fire and we’re basically homeless. She got mad at me for telling her I couldn’t talk to her right then. She called me nasty names and told me o was selfish. When we got things settled and were able to move home again I didn’t give her our new phone number or tell her anything. I actually didn’t talk to her for 3 years. I started to after the kids had grown up and contacted me on Facebook. We built a tenuous friendship again and I supported her all over again. I’m 2016 I had seen she was struggling for about 5 months before I finally called the police on her and had her admitted. This is when she was finally diagnosed and has been getting treatment ever since. I call and check up on her regularly and she is coming to my daughter’s wedding. Those first few months though when she was first diagnosed, I again had to take a break from her. I love her to death but I was so worried for her on top of being so angry with her I couldn’t cope.

    I hope that you and your friend works it out, maybe because she sees you getting better she felt free to tell you what she felt and how you treated her when you were struggling. It will be a hard road but maybe she just needs some time to regroup too.

    I think it says a lot that you are willing to make amends and apologize for what you said when it wasn’t you talking but the disease. My friend has never apologized for anything she has ever said to me and sometimes we dance around the issues on tiptoes.

    I really wish we lived closer, I would love to hang out with you.

    So many to respond to and I have no brain power left so I’ll only comment on a couple.

    @maryrobinson40 - I just love you and your honesty. I am so proud of you. Thank you for sharing.

    @MLHC1 - I have no words for you. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart hurts for what you must be feeling.

    @Bex953172 Yes! I think "change" is a good word for you! Keep moving forward. What one change are you making today???

    Peace and joy!

    But sometimes we have to change how we are getting there or when, etc. Because of LIFE.

    That last sentence that I wrote earlier is where you are! LIFE is causing you to make changes and adjustments in order to reach your goal of weight loss and health gain! Good that Faebert asked you what has changed in your LIFE from when you were losing weight. Knowledge is very empowering!
