Good morning! Work at home day, so I'm in a good mood. LOL!
This morning I have an appointment with an Integrative Medicine doctor at our clinic. She focuses on healing the body, mind and spirit as a whole and tries to use the most natural ways, mixed with medicine if needed, to help a person be the best they can be. I've worked with her, and she's just an awesome lady, so I'm excited.
@littleblackskirt WELCOME! I'm happy to see you! You were missed.

My goal are basically the same. I am going to do this until these become habits.. then I will change them. Trying to keep it simple
Goals for yesterday
1. mindful eating. Did really good until last nite .. when I gave in to eating 2 cookies! But, I was so proud that sunday I baked 3 batches of cookies, and 2 kinds of breads, and did not eat any of them. So I am OK with just eating 2 .. plus, I worked my butt outside all day, so I think I earned it!
2. drink 4 glasses of water before I drink a diet pepsi
3. 8+ water:( -- outside a lot, so forgot the water.
4. drink water in the evening ... no snacking, or just ONE planned snack:)

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 189.2
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for 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. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Schedule for July. ObG Oct 22 10:30. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: What's next?
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike night for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.
WFTY: Climbing. Weight is at a new low - not counting a few weeks ago when I went to the ER and couldn't keep any food down for two days. It's SO nice to see the scale starting to make consistent progress DOWNWARD. I got no parent calls or grading done yesterday, but today I only have to cover like 25 minutes of someone's class during my planning. (Bleh.)3 -

Your weight is dropping off! Well done!2 -
Eugh I feel so run down today.
I was feeling sick most the morning and so I took some Gaviscon. And it's stopped me feeling sick but my backside has not been well today (lol tmi sorry!)
But the cramps are horrible and so painful. I've not been able to eat all day and I just feel so dehydrated.
I had to push both girls in the pram to collect Saskia too from school.
I just want to sleep sleep sleep. But ash should be home soon.
So weigh in tomorrow should be interesting lol! (I won't add it into the challenge though lol)
Hope everyone else is well today.

Thanks bex. Remember how hard I just could not get out of the 190s! I am so glad to finally see the scale moving Now is the time of year that I always gain .. between halloween and xmas. So this challenge is great for that.
You are also doing great!!! Just seeing those 170s numbers.. proud of you!!2 -
Hi all, bit of a late check in from me! Yesterday was quite unusual. We got sent home from work in the morning and the school was closed as a burst water main nearby had left us with no water. Have to be honest and admit that instead of using the time off productively and healthily I took full advantage to chill out and snack all day at home - oops! I guess it is a once in a blue moon occurrence 😈
Anyway, back on track today. A fab long run this morning with minimal pain (hooray!) and a productive day at work. Think the rest yesterday really helped. Determined to get another good sleep tonight as I can see the difference it makes. Nearly done everything on my list today too 🙂

Hi everybody !
I’m Loris, I have been lurking on this forum for the last few days.
Taking it one day at a time is something that has always eluded me, but a goal (skill?) in itself that I really wish I could achieve.
So I am ready to start and here is my first entry:
(I’m in New Zealand, so the timezones will clash with US people :-))
JFT Thursday 10/10/19
Up cals from 1500 to 1600
Go for a short walk
Watch 10 videos on Software I want to get better at
Declutter the kitchen bench
Journal
Ahhhhh I’m excited! Thanks for having me and also thank you guys for inspiring me !5 -

Welcome Loris! Glad you posted!! I find it so much easier focusing on the day to day rather than long term goals. It's easy to say "I'm going to eat healthier" but after a few days you can trail off! But breaking it down daily helps you keep that focus!!
I live in the UK lol! So time zones are a bit crazy when people post!
Good luck with your goals!!
And even if you have a bad day, don't worry about it and come again the next day! You'll find no judgment here!5 -
@Bex953172 hello, thanks thanks thanks :-)
It is really nice to be able to unload, as it were, a to do list for others to see without feeling bad about not reaching it. Just practicing daily focus and what works for oneself.
I have never been social about my weight loss, and I think that's one of the reasons I am not as content as I can be.
And reading this thread in particular really made me open my eyes on what I wish I could do daily, without feeling like I am sharing too much or too little. Just right. In the flow. Well we will see how I go. Thanks for reminding me that if a bad day happens, it happens. No worries and no judgements.4 -

Haha I've been having bad days since the new year! Been awol for ages and generally struggling and just last week, boom I'm back lol!
I think the best thing about the thread is that we all end up being friends, which I think makes it all the more supportive!
How much are you aiming to lose? I've got to lose 45lbs!! Yikes lol2 -
Meh, can't complete my diary today because I've only had 500ish calories. In fact it will be less than that with the school run added! Least I'm in the green LOL! I hate being poorly. Ash got me a lucozade so feeling a bit more hydrated! Electrolytes!
Hopefully be back to normal tomorrow, poor dogs not been walked again!3 -

.
This is what it is all about ... doing this by changing one small habit at a time by setting a goal or goals, just one day at a time! The nice thing is that if we don't succeed ... the day starts over tomorrow, and we set more goals. You are doing great!6 -
Morning all. Had a super frustrating start to the day. Was supposed to go to Warrior gym class this am at 6:30am. Woke up at around 4am and (sorry TMI) it seems I’m having the worst period ever. Such heavy bleeding! Will spare you the details but there’s no way I can risk a gym class with heavy lifting and I’m actually now quite anxious about going into work! One of the downsides of teaching is you can’t go to the loo whenever you want/need! 😬😬😬
Oh, and my boiler isn’t working again and the house is freezing. Happy days! Wish me luck - could be a long day...

Thanks @TerriRichardson112.
@Bex953172 - My weight goals are to lose 6kg in total. From 69kg to 63kg.
I am in a good mindset and that’s always true when I start/restart something, but my problem usually start down the line, when things don’t go to plan or I have a setback and I lose track of the bigger picture. But this time it’s different.
I have compiled a list of patterns I now see in my previous attempts over the years and I am addressing most of them in a flexible and personal way.
Ah, and I am living in NZ but originally from Belgium :-)
Legend:
🧘🏼♀️ = mindful/relaxed
🏊🏻♀️ = hard/feeling like swimming against the current
🤼♀️ = struggling with people
🏄🏼♀️ = easy/enjoyable/riding the wave
🏋🏼♀️ = lots of effort involved (but rewarding)
JFT Thursday 10/10/19
Up cals from 1500 to 1600🧘🏼♀️
Go for a short walk🧘🏼♀️
Watch 10 videos on Software I want to get better at 🏊🏻♀️
Declutter the kitchen bench 🏄🏼♀️
Journal 🧘🏼♀️
Thoughts: my first day done ! I haven’t done the task that scares me the most... will make it less challenging for tomorrow. But I have done all of the rest, took notes (been mindful) and I did some extras that were not on the list.
I will make sure I try to do the ones on the list before extras, next time, but right now I'm pretty pleased.
And I decided to add emojis to represent my state of mind while doing the task.
JFT Friday 11/10/19

@Faebert good luck with the pain today. Take care, hope it goes away fast.4 -
Did pretty well yesterday. Had a rather frustrating day at work but despite this didn't deviate from my food plan (with exception of one chocolate) and didn't drink any alcohol either. Progress!
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Be in the green with a deficit
- 5+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- Run to work
- No eating whilst standingI was super hungry in the evening - was on a deficit - and ate a yoghurt while waiting for the kettle
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts Yes! I had some frustration at work and ended up eating a chocolate from the snack area. But then I stopped myself from eating more than one and got back on track straight away. That's a huge improvement from a couple of weeks ago where once I'd cracked I kept going.
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- 45+ minute lunch break
- Get flu jab
- Finish work by 6.30pm6.45
- Look at job emailsStarted but didn't finish

Welcome! Good to have you here!
What are you aiming to lose?
Any goals in mind for today? (Or tomorrow depending what time zone you're in lol) it's morning here in the UK!3 -
Goals for Thurs
- Be in the green
- Get min 4 waters in
- Walk the dog
- Take it easy, tummy still feels sensitive lol! Which also means no exercise today!
I wanted to ask you all a question, when you were at your heaviest did you get more problems with your digestion? I quite frequently have stomach problems, mostly trapped wind and bloating, heartburn and feeling nauseous leaving me feel very uncomfortable.
But I'm pretty sure it's not IBS or any medical condition, I'm pretty sure it's not an intolerance. I can't really seem to pin point it to anything other than maybe eating a few to many unhealthy snacks or eating late at night (even though they fit in my calories)
Will losing weight help this do you think?
I'm not really one for going to the Drs.2 -

This morning I have an appointment with an Integrative Medicine doctor at our clinic. She focuses on healing the body, mind and spirit as a whole and tries to use the most natural ways, mixed with medicine if needed, to help a person be the best they can be. I've worked with her, and she's just an awesome lady, so I'm excited.
@littleblackskirt WELCOME! I'm happy to see you! You were missed.
Thank you! I've missed reading what you are all up to too!
Integrative Medicine sounds really good, it makes sense doesn't it? I hope it is helpful for you.

So JFT Wednesday 9th October
Walk spent an hour walking round shopping centre, so not a proper walk but at least I was out
Do back exercises did full set in the morning , forgot in the evening
Practice gratitude yes, I'm grateful our postie was late! So I looked out the window for him and realised my feet were wet, my radiator was leaking. So pleased I discovered it, and that son will repair it for free
Lift the red bag as a reminder (it weighs 30lbs) yes, it's still heavy...
Finish sorting bedroom, clothes to charity shop no, had a visit from baby grandson instead, much more fun
Do not buy chocolate (I don't know how to write this without using a negative! The aim is not to bring chocolate into the house) success, I walked straight past 2 chocolate shops at the shopping centre
I have a new bad habit this summer. Every day when I return home from hospital visiting I have a big mug of tea and some chocolate in my favourite chair. It's a sort of comfort thing, relaxing alone for a short time. The tea is okay but the chocolate needs to stop, so I won't buy more, and will just have to get used to it!
JFT Thursday 10th October

I love dipping biscuits in my tea, could you swap the chocolate for a biscuit instead? As long as it's less calories? can't have a cup of tea with out biscuits lol!!
