11000 steps done, got my yoga in, logging was somewhat difficult as MFP had a bit of a fit last night and decided it didn't want to log in on the app or web version, got there in the end though.
Today's Goals (Tues 17th Sept)

> Accurate logging
> Take it easy on alcohol (have a free pint from last week and may win more this evening at Music Bingo)
Did ok on steps but didn't make 10000 as I got a lift home from work, so was closer to 8000. I logged everything as best I could as ate dinner out, but presume I well overestimated. Had only my free pint and then went onto water.

Today’s Goals - Love myself, by always being patient, kind and understanding with myself, my thoughts, my feelings, my actions, and my results. Commit to my plan for the day. Modify my plan for tomorrow. Practice listening to my bodies hunger and fullness signals. Spend 5 minutes in a Grateful Meditation. Spend 5 minutes visualizing/imagining myself having achieved my weight loss goal. Spend 5 minutes writing down the actions I took to achieve my goal. Tell my wife and kids individually that I love them, and that they are perfect in each and every way, here, now, and always.
Yesterday Assessment - Ate -2 to 2 Breakfast, -2 to 3 for Lunch & -1 to 4 for Dinner. Only got 72 ounces of water. I am looking to create an action plan for the period from 4 to 6pm. At times I get hungry in this period, and if I don’t eat until dinner, I get overly hungry, so basically I eat snacks, then I’m not as hungry at dinner and sometimes overeat at dinner because I do to not adjust my portion size accordingly. Commitment is the willingness to be uncomfortable and overcome all obstacles or options that stand between you and your goals! Failure is ok, as long as I fail forward!3 -

@Satisfiedwithbetter Interesting, never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.0

Differentiating why you are eating or why you want to eat is a big part. Sometimes it’s out of boredom, sometimes it’s to temporarily buffer feelings, sometimes it’s out of habit. Sometimes it’s from dehydration or a lack of certain nutrients. If it’s physical hunger your body typically tells you, if your listening. The harder part for me is determining when Im satisfied. This is an awareness process that I am practicing every time I eat in an effort to become more connected to my bodies needs, and portion sizes because my portions have been so far out of whack for so much time.1
-
My goals today are to clean the house ( done! ).....be more patient with others, eat healthy and enjoy my meals,take some time to reflect on the progress I have made and think about how I can continue this journey successfully....write down a few things I have done differently this time to keep motivated....focus on today and not get carried away thinking too far ahead....one day at a time slow and steady!2

@amkita I'm so jealous of your ability to commute via bike. Back when I lost weight the first time in 2009-2010, I was about 9 miles from my work and that made for a perfect bike commute -- especially since my work had a shower.
Since then, we've moved and my work has moved. My commute via car is about 40 minutes, which isn't doable by bike in any reasonable amount of time.
My goals for today:- Couch to 5k Week 5 Day 3 (done!)
- 10,000+ steps
- Keep it under 2,000 calories.

We had a bereavement in the family yesterday so my goal today is to get through it without getting too emotional and to enjoy the beer festival I'm going to this evening in moderation.2
-
Huge day today! I need to show up for myself. I am perfect and at the top of my game! I am now creating the life of my dreams in an easy and relaxed manner and in a healthy and positive way!2

Satisfiedwith I love your positive motivation!0

Thanks guys, the shock has worn off a bit now and the weekend was a write off.
Back to logging properly today and a nice walk into work.
Definitely time to reflect and refocus on my ultimate goal!4 -
My goal today is to go to the pool again!...was really nice to burn those extra calories yesterday!...think about how far I have come and not dwell on how far I still need to go!1

Yesterday Assessment - Very challenging day. Never really got lower than a -1, and kept myself at a 3 or 4 (conscious emotional eating) most of the day. We held my Dad’s Tribute on Saturday, and I didn’t really didn’t eat or hydrate myself properly. I spent Sunday recovering. Only got 68 ounces of water. .

Very nice! Keep working your plan!1 -
My appetite goes the other way when I go through something like that. I just did in March and I was eating so little that I started "supplementing" pizza I had frozen to keep my calories high enough. I think in the short term I would rather eat too much than too little.1

It doesn’t matter if I am sad or happy...my solution was always to eat!0

Learn and practicing the process of just being with my emotions and not eating for them is still very challenging for me. I do have stretches where it feels manageable, but at times, I really struggle to just BE with them and not buffer them with food!conniewilkins56 wrote: »It doesn’t matter if I am sad or happy...my solution was always to eat!

I wish I understood emotional eating better. I have someone very close to me going through a rough time and she wants to lose weight but she keeps running into her very understandable emotions. You can help people with the mechanics of weight loss but you cannot always help with what happens between the ears.2

@NovusDies ..emotional eating sucks! I've been battling it for years! You think you got it kicked and it rears its ugly head once again. It makes a person feel incredibly weak! I'm doing the CBT therapy in Hope's that I can get my thoughts and diet under control.🤞2

I considered suggesting that when she gets a little closer to daylight on the quite terrible thing that has happened to her.
I have faith that you will get a lot of good tools from the CBT.1 -
@NovusDies I know Therapists recommend CBT Therapy for all kinds of things. If she is starting out might be a good thing work with a Therapist to get into the swing of things. I took CBT Therapy about 10 years ago with a Therapist in regards to my depression and suicidal thoughts and it did wonders for my mindset there. Highly recommend it. I'm doing it alone for Weight Management because I understand what it all entails from doing CBT prior. I hope your friend finds some help/relief. It's a tough road to travel when it comes to feeling your mental state is compromised.1
