    @pridesabtch - I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time. It takes courage to reach out to others for support. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping things are alittle better in the days ahead.

    Hello all,

    This will be a quick one because it's pretty late. Going snowshoeing with the bestie tomorrow so I'm excited about that! Happy weekend all!

    @beachwalker99 That sounds JUST like me! Let me know if you'd be interested in holding each other accountable somehow. I could really use a push :) Also I loved Broadchurch. David Tennant is just genius!
    @PackerFanInGB Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I think your suggestion is just what I need to do. I'm proud of you for doing what you can with the work challenge. I repeatedly have that experience of being out of shape and I find the best thing to do is listen to your body and take it slow (not that I always listen to my own advice on this-ha!)
    @TerriRichardson112 will you add a shamrock for me for today (21st) Thanks!

    @TerriRichardson112 a ☘️ for the 21st, please!

    @Snowflake1968 - sorry you’re struggling right now. I wonder if there’s a solution with the cooking. Could you meal plan for the week and each of you take a couple days cooking for the other one and compromise on what you cook for each other. Maybe have a day or two where you fend for yourselves and have what you want.

    I’m in the opposite situation. I’ve been successful, but my husband keeps saying he needs to do it, but just can’t get started. Yesterday I had my diary planned out, but then he came home with steak and cheese subs (I skipped it and gave it to the girls for dinner). At the end of the night he was complaining about heart burn and said he can’t keep eating like that. I’ll support him when he does change, but right now I’m not pushing it. I’ve learned that we all need to find the motivation/discipline within ourselves.

    FRIDAY:
    - track every bite 🟢
    - Stay green🟢
    - Laundry🟢
    - My house is a disaster...need to get that in order🟢
    - Do something fun with the kids. Last day of school vacation🟢
    - Music rehearsal🟢



    JFT SATURDAY:
    - track every bite
    - Stay green
    - Laundry
    - Go for a walk
    - Music rehearsal

    My blood pressure is up, I have been dizzy all week and have a nagging headache. I checked my blood pressure last night and tonight and it is high. I need to get this eating under control and lose the weight again.

    This should be so much easier than it was before because Rodger is trying to eat healthier. The problem is he’s trying to do it with foods that I don’t like. I don’t even like the smells they make so it’s just turning me to junk and quick food. If I want to make a meal he wants elaborate things that take a lot of work and since I won’t eat them I have to make something else for me. This shouldn’t be this difficult.



    I am SO sorry you are having such a difficult time. I can understand so well... especially if Roger wants to eat foods that you do not like. I get that way when someone is also preaching to me about losing weight. When I was losing weight, we would go out to eat,and friends would watch what I ate. Telling me I should not have a piece of bread, even when I wanted one, and felt in control. Hubby used to do that .. telling me I should not eat a piece of pizza. But I was trying to learn portion control, and learn how to eat regular foods and still lose/maintain my weight. It is hard to do that, but I did not want to only eat fish and stuff I can't stand to lose weight. So I understand how you feel! WHen they would be that way ... I would go home alone when no one was watching, and want to eat, because I deprived myself of the stuff I wanted.

    I hope you can find a compromise. Have you tried watching the youtube videos on meal preps .. where you can prep meals for a week and put them in freezer bags? Most of these meals are things like chicken with roasted veggies, etc. That way, all you have to do it take it out of the freezer, and it would be ready for you? I also buy a lot of things at Trader Joes .. things like the cod or fried chicken tenderloin strips, or meatballs. Things you can just pop a few out and eat, but they are all pretty low in calories, and high in protein.

    I have also tried to keep a lot of things to snack on that are better for me .. like cut up veggies, lots of fruit, things that are lower in calories. Would that maybe help you?

    But do take good care of yourself. Your health has to be number one. Maybe Roger can cook some of his own foods, especially the foods that you don't like.

    But I am so proud of you for not giving up. You are under a lot of pressure... with your new job, etc. So be easy on yourself. <3
