    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:

    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.
