    I had a small scoop of ice cream last night, and forgot to put the tub back in the freezer. That’s one thing that won’t be tempting me again. 🤪

    JFt, Sunday, July 8
    1. log all food :/
    2. concentrate on water - jan challenge :)
    3. mindful eating .... think before I eat. Write it down before I eat :/ As you can see ... a day where I did not log food, did not do so well today.
    4. go out for a walk :/
    5. get back into sewing. I have just not been in the mood to sew since March .... I need this distraction in my life! :) This was the only goal, well, maybe 3, that I met today. At least I dug out my sewing machine some tonite.
    6. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable :)
    7. do one thing for myself :) I downloaded a "coloring app" on my Ipad. Our daughter was out ... wants to call the police on a guy that she said "looked at her funny" 15 years ago! She thinks if she calls the police she can stop thinking about this. But this is what her schizo is like ... this guy has not been in her life in over 15 years, yet, she cannot let go of this moment. So ... I dug out my piad, and colored. Great distraction. Then I could go back to sewing.

    JFT, Monday
    1. get back to logging food, and keeping track of what I eat
    2. mindful eating
    3. concentrate on 8+ water
    4. go out for a walk ... this always helped me to clear my mind in the evenings. I called it my therapy time
    5. work on baby quilt for my niece
    6. july challenge .. do something just for me

    Lovely photos - such lovely dresses, both of them! I love the flowers also. And - I assume that's Rodger? Looks very dapper in his suit :smile: Hope you had an amazing day! Look forward to hearing more about it x

    Very happy with this week's weigh-in - managed to get rid of the last two weeks' weight gain (which presumably was partly water weight) and a tiny bit more. Yay! Happy to get down again, the number I was at was disturbingly high.

    This next week coming up should be reasonable in terms of weight-loss opportunities. I don't have any socialising planned in the week so that should allow for some good days. Next weekend we are thinking of going away somewhere which might be a bit more challenging but shouldn't be too bad as we're both trying to eat less and can choose where/ what to eat to suit that.

    Quite a good day yesterday, made reasonable choices despite going out for the day, although allowed myself to let go a little bit in the evening. I was really tired yesterday afternoon and evening - I didn't have a lot of rest last week what with various job applications and quite a bit of socialising, and then I exercised quite hard on Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun. So in the evening my body was complaining a lot! It's still a bit tired this morning but I'm going to make myself go to the gym anyway. I'm not actually injured, just tired, and I will be having a rest day tomorrow so I can push myself today! I've got a day off at home today so it's good to get out of the house - I get cabin fever otherwise.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat, as I go :/Didn't log the bread & cheese I ate after dinner, got lazy
    - Be in the green with a deficit :/ It would have been if not for the bread and cheese. Probably around 150 over I reckon, so not too bad in the context of the week as a whole
    - 4 bottles water :/Was actually trying to avoid drinking too much as we were out for the day and I always get worried about toilet access...
    - Go for run :smile:

    - No eating whilst standing :smile:
    - Savour every bite :smile:
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :/I didn't talk back to the thoughts about the bread & cheese. I told myself that I had been good all week so should relax a little bit. I'm in two minds about whether this was a good decision or not. On the one hand, I'm trying to train myself to make good individual choices and to not give into unplanned eating whims. On the other hand, due to what I've been listening to on Half Size Me, I am trying to deliberately indulge myself a little bit more when I feel I have some calories to spare to stop myself feeling restricted. On balance, in the light of the fact that I did lose weight this morning regardless, I think it was good I ate the cheese :smile:
    - Give myself credit! :neutral:
    - Stay positive :smile:

    - Read response cards x2 :/Completely forgot
    - Meditate :smile:
    - 2+ of French podcast, reading, Duolingo :neutral:Duolingo only
    - Talk to boyfriend in French :/Completely forgot
    - Gratitude journal :/Completely forgot
    - Lights off by 11 :/Decided to watch a third episode of Buffy...

    @mytime6630 @PackerFanInGB I'm sorry to hear you're both having a tough time still. It must be so difficult to see your family having problems and to feel that you can't really help them. I imagine though that you are probably helping them, much more than you know. Maybe not in terms of actually getting them to change behaviour. But I imagine your support, and the extent to which you care and are there for them, gives them a lot of comfort and reassurance, which goes a long way. In time hopefully things will get better.

    In the meantime, I think the suggestion for the month of July sounds good! I'm not actually sure I need it myself. I've made quite good progress on this in the last few years (my job forced me into taking care of myself...) to the point where actually I think I might need to pay a bit more attention to the needs of other people... :# But it feels to me like you, and others I can think of on here as well, will benefit from it! I think I might actually create my own which is "Do something nice for boyfriend" every day. This might be nothing more than sitting and listening to him talk about his day for a while rather than jumping up after dinner to do the next thing that 'needs doing'. I think it will be good for us for me to do this.

    Oh and @mytime6630 - your weigh-in suggests that even though you've done some emotional eating, this hasn't had a big impact! 2 lb is effectively nothing, I can weigh 2 lb more just from one big meal... I would not worry or feel bad about such a small change.

    @PackerFanInGB Thanks for asking about the applications. They are both external! I'm still looking into internal opportunities, but it's still really unclear what these are and quite frankly the atmosphere and way things are going on internally makes me just want to get out of there! I'm not going to write off the idea of an internal role because that could be a good stepping stone to a great external role, but if I can get a great external role without it then that would be my preference... As you say I have given a lot and I feel a fresh start would be the best for me right now!

    @Snowflake1968 , beautiful photos, thanks for sharing.

    I had a weekend of two halves. Saturday was fine, everything pre-logged on Friday night (first time I've ever done that!) Sunday started well but I ended up having pizza (6 inch) and piece of cake with my SIL. I didn't log and just wrote the day off.

    I'm another one who craves crisps/chips, but only one particular make/flavour. On Saturday night, after working all day and feeling tired and sick, I decided to go and buy some as a treat. The shop had sold out! I looked at all the other flavours, I looked at the rows of chocolate bars, but didn't feel like any of them, so bought nothing. I was saved from myself lol.

    So back to logging properly today. Unfortunately I need to diet for more than a week to be slim :)

    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
