I bet you guys can’t guess what delicious little peanut and chocolate w/ a hard covered candy shell hand made by the devil himself got me once again.

I'm sure I know the ones you mean, but I've never tasted one. Judging by the comments on here, it would be a very bad idea to try them! Here in the UK there is one particular chocolate bar which I'm sure has something addictive in it lol, I now have to avoid it completely.

Back exercises Yes
Drink enough Yes
Walk Yes, at last! Went after lunch though, which meant that I was in pain for the rest of the day. evenings would be better
Tidy the house Didn't happen
Garden if weather improves A little bit
Cut lawn Tried, mower wouldn't work. After some toing and froing to the fuse box (up a ladder- extra exercise lol) discovered the cable was faulty. Took a while to fix, so only mowed about a quarter

Hi all, longtime lurker, first time poster. I've been having trouble staying on track since our state went into shelter-in-place, and I would prefer not to have to buy a new bigger wardrobe before I go back to work. I hope by making one small pledge I can follow through, so for today, I would like to track everything I eat in my journal.

Hello, a Hit & Run kind of day. Basically same goals & tasks as Saturday. Today, I have to leave really early to help set up for a community "rally for racial justice" this afternoon followed by a Vigil for Justice. Both have speakers, tables for water, tables with brochures for different local groups trying to effect change, etc.

Have great day all!

Yesterday was a great day, but I gotta get back on track today. Kayaking was fun, the girls never quite figured it out, but they were old nough to let them wander the lake without us so Tim and I went exploring. We paddled around for about and hour and half then went and found the girls and ended up chilling for about fifteen minutes in the sunshine. It was great and the girls, though really bad at kayaking, had a really fun time.

My new profile pic is from date night, we went out for dinner and drinks then went bowling for like two hours. With only the two of us, I actually worked up a sweat. So even though I ate and drank more than normal, it was a very active day and it balance out pretty well, I was less than 200 cal over in the end. I'll certainly take that as before my free days would be much, much worse. No candy or dessert was the big difference for me. I'm finding I just need to pass on it or I crave it all day. You know I don't really miss it that much, but the apple pie was calling my name yesterday...

They called me in to work yesterday, but I told them I was out of town which is technically true at the time, so I need to go in this morning. I may be a tad hung over, but nothing an afternoon nap won't cure. Well a nap and a lot of water...

JFT Sunday
- Water plants. My daughter isn't here and she made me promise.
- Look presentable and go to work for a bit
- NAP
- Maybe go for a ride or a walk
- Separate laundry and do at least 2 loads
- Pick up youngest from her friend's house
- Log everything
- Stay green
- No candy/cookies
- No alcohol

Have a great day y'all. You deserve it!

JFT, 6/6/20

- Weigh-in I wanted to cry...I actually gained a pound since the last time I checked. It's probably just water weight from the pizza and garlic bread. But it's still upsetting. But also a motivator.
- Dishwasher
- Break down the pile of cardboard
- Sweep and mop bathroom/kitchen
- Fold 1 load of laundry
- Chicken and veggies for dinner
- 64 ounces of water It ended up being almost twice that amount
- Pick up coffee pods

Yesterday was a good day goal wise. I got everything done but the clothes. I HATE folding clothes so they end up in a pile on top of a blanket on the bedroom floor. I really need to get a handle on that. I hate folding it at the laundromat because it's always super sticky in there and I don't want to stay there any longer than I have. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and actually fold them there from now on. *sighs*

Matt asked me to call a pulmonologist for him and set up an appointment. He has early onset COPD and his breathing has gotten really bad the last few days. I have to wait until tomorrow to do it though since it's Sunday and everything is closed. We went to the store yesterday to pick up coffee and he was only in there for like 5 minutes with a mask on before he had to leave and go sit in the car. I feel really bad for him. I'm hoping the office I call can see him quickly.

I don't know what I am going to do today. It's already 1:30 in the afternoon. I think I might go for a short walk just to get me up and moving. I hope everyone has a great day!

JFT, 6/7/20

- 64 oz of water
- Walk up to the council
- FOLD THE LAUNDRY
- Journal

Just for Today/Saturday:

• Preplan food / prelog food / stay in green / close diary I will after this.
• H20 - 75 oz 62 oz, so not bad!!
• Activity: 30 minutes cardio / research strength training / lymphedema massage/stretches
• Chair Yoga / Research help with balance and ankle strengthening videos
• Podcasts (JM, PnP, HSM)
• Spend time sewing / read mystery / Calm app / food prep / declutter [PICK SOMETHING from this list!]
• Spend time thinking about morning routine and jot down ideas in bullet journal
• Spend time thinking about evening routine and jot down ideas in bullet journal.
• Gratitude Journal / Readings from SA, DO, Bible
• Spend time chatting with God.

I don't understand why I am feeling so much anxiety and depression lately. I am furloughed from work and we are meeting our bills, so I should be enjoying this time off! I mean, when have I, or will I, ever have weeks/months off work again? Never, unless I retire! It's been nice outside, so why am I not out there enjoying it? I feel tired and fatigued and want to eat everything in sight! It's ridiculous. So....today, I am making it a priority to get outside and spend some time just being in the present moment. And if that is the only goal I meet and everything listed below is a fail, I will be okay with that. Have to get my emotions under control before I'll be able to get EATING my emotions under control.

Have a great Sunday everyone! Peace and blessings to you all... :flowerforyou:

@pridesabtch - sounds like a lovely day yesterday.

@HEGoddard0928 - poor Matt can’t catch a break health wise. I hope he gets some answers from the pulmonologist.

@PackerFanInGB - I think the world is in such turmoil, not being able to see family and live our lives as we are used to is causing a lot of depression and anxiety in a lot of people. I think you’re handling it well, not watching news and media is a great start. My husband accuses me of trying to live under a rock but I need to to stay sane.

Yesterday was the laziest day I have had in a few weeks. I need to go get some groceries and do some laundry today. Then I think I’ll just relax again. It is a rainy miserable day again.

Hi @merope2, I'm just starting out too, trying to get into the logging habit - I'm managed Day Four now! I can so relate to others talking about eating their feelings. I've had a real problem with this, and could feel myself today getting ready to eat something because I was frustrated, not hungry. But I didn't! I was super lazy though, nothing much achieved this weekend. So sorry to hear about others struggling at the moment. I get a bit panicky when I think too far ahead, so trying to take a day at a time is about the only way I'm getting through this. Hope everyone has a good start to the new week.

Make some financial decisions

I have a feeling it might not be a good day, have already eaten 4 squares of chocolate! I have several financial problems niggling at my mind all the time, which is unsettling. I need to decide whether to keep trying to do something more about them (so stress continues), or accept that the government will not be providing any help for my closed business and give up and accept I will have no earnings. really I just want it all to go away, and my table top to be clear again! But it won't go away until I do something about it, so must get on with that.

Have a great week everyone
