Okay so yesterday I think I started logging but at some point in the day I thought F*** it.
Bad idea lmao. I deffo over ate it was a very carb filled day and then at bedtime me and ash had skittles, giant wotsits and peanut m&ms and I devoured them aswell. Well half of each share bag but still. Just too much.
Why we brought up all 3 snacks rather than splitting it over 3 days I don't know.
But my stomach is not happy today.
So I'm going to have a strong conscious day of not F-ing up my diet today 😂😂 gonna keep my calories as low as possible to try rectify yesterday.
Damage limitation lol!3 -
@200Karen I like the idea of "kitchen closed", I might steal that one
@Bex953172 I did exactly the same yesterday. Just stopped logging, because I'd put some little buns in the oven whilst doing tea. Meals were ok, but the buns weren't!littleblackskirt wrote: »

Yesterday was a mixed bag. I was dragging all day, but I did get a few things done, including finally stopping at the post office on the way to the park. So I got my walk in before going for ice cream. My daughter was going out, so she suggested ordering Chinese, but after the ice cream, none of us was really hungry. So, with the April challenge in mind - @mytime6630 Thank you, Joan! - I resisted getting takeout. As it turned out, I didn't have to cook for anyone. My son-in-law picked up the kids, and my husband worked late and grabbed something before heading home. I wound up logging my ice cream as dinner, had a small snack later in the evening, and stayed under my calorie goal.
Today will be another busy day. In addition to the Easter festivities, we'll be celebrating my oldest grandson's birthday this weekend. I promised to make him chicken enchiladas and a special cake, so I'm off to the grocery store for supplies.
Have a great start to your weekend everyone!

Recap R 4/14 ~ PTO day for me. Happy it's sunny, but cool temp & very windy.
1) PT exercises
2) Move hourly 8K 35 floors 13/14 / maybe walk dog wind gusts to 40mph, saw a few snow flakes, wind chill in 20s = nope to dog walk
3) Net calories zero / NO snacking if bored
evening after church snacks but daily w-i ok / 96 oz. water = net cals & sodium red but not horrible, fiber & protein excellent, calcium not bad, 80 oz. water
4) Last grocery shop for holiday meal / more Easter dinner prep (extra coffee maker, place settings, baskets, etc.) / digital declutter / newspapers / wash dishes other stuff / another ta-da? TA-DA! = 4/6
5) 7:00 Maundy Thursday church service
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm PTO Fri.
really, again? 2/6
JFT Good Friday 4/15 ~ more PTO/holiday time, rest day from PT exercises after six straight
1) Move hourly (repeat weather from yesterday means dog walk unlikely)
2) Figure out supper / net calories zero / no snacking / 96 oz. water
3) Bake cake for trifle / make molded salad / wash dishes / newspapers / set dining room table / get more serving pieces out / misc kitchen chores / another ta-da?
4) 7:00 Tenebrae service
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat.
Active days at home getting things ready for Easter dinner with 13 guests, first in three years. I'm so thankful hubby is home full time now, and he's doing nearly all of the spring cleaning = YAY. Means I can focus on other things, and will not be completely worn out & frazzled by time my family arrives to visit on Sunday.

Yesterday I was SO busy. THey predicted rain for today, so I had my compost delivered yesterday. I worked from noon until 4:30 --- hauling 5 cubic yards of compost to my flower beds. I finished most yesterday (finished the rest this morning before the rain!).
So while I am counting yesterday as successfully meal planning .. I didn't really follow my plan because I was outside all day. Then took daughter to court. . it all worked out .. they dismissed her case (driving without her license or insurance.. which she forgot to have in her car). I felt so bad for her though .. she cried after we left.
So we went to panera bread .. but since I ate a protein bar I just got a soda. But we each had smoothies on the way home. But ran some errands.
This morning I finished the compost .. hubby and I went to a new restaurant we had not been to. I had 2 chicken tacos .. only ate one. Tonite we are going to our favorite fish fry.
Tomorrow is our 45 wedding anniv .. so we are celebrating all weekend! And .. I don't have to do the compost cause its done!

I commit to keeping my CI fat%age within 2% of my daily goal 90% of the days. (Allows 3 pass days for celebrations 🤦♀️)
April Challenge:
CI Fat %age < 27%

Pass days:
Tues 12: lunch outing with daughters. Hard to log accurately so taking it as a pass day.
Fri 15: family picnic lunch, and dinner. As above.
Special holidays present so much darned temptation.

Eugh I didn't log yesterday. And now I can't remember what I had. I might have a good try at guessing but I don't know whether to just leave it and concentrate on today
Got a busy day today. I've already blitzed my lounge.
I have potential visitors today and I need to get my pots done. There's not one in the cupboard. It's disgusting.
Naturally the pressure of someone maybe coming is getting me.off my butt today and actually doing the cleaning.
Why I can't just do it on a normal day I don't know!2 -

I just took a pass day yesterday when we were out with the family. Too hard to accurately track picnic food etc. It’ll even itself out over the week.
They came back to ours for dinner, and we ordered in pizza. I gave it a miss, but still had some of the other goodies on offer.

Hi! I need desperately to get back on track, and act like I'm serious about losing, and not just on the easy days. So here goes.
JFT I am done eating for today. Way over calories. I simply don't want or need anything else and I especially need to break the nighttime cookie habit. So that's it, I'm done.3 -

9. Bedtime: Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: crunches, push-ups, squats, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth.
10. Upcoming: Check therapy notes. Did we pay state taxes?
Scale goals

End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
End of 2021: 194.4
Today: 204.8
Ongoing plans/ideas
1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Mar 8 7P.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
WFTY: Focus. Overall it's been a good week. I just like food so much... *sigh*2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.2 -
Staying out of the cookies and candy is going well so far. No post breakfast treat, and I got the roast into the oven without snacking. Yay!
On the other hand the pair of pants that used to hang on me are now fitting snug. Boo! All the more reason to eat well today.3 -
Chilly today, but yesterday the weather was just perfect for eating outdoors. I fixed an impromptu BBQ lunch - just burgers, hot dogs, and corn - before the kids' egg hunt. Then we dyed the real eggs, My daughter tipped the entire cup of yellow dye into her lap, so she had a quick shower and I set her clothes to soak. By the time we wrapped up, I needed a nap!
Up early today to finish the food prep I didn't get done yesterday. We're off to my mom's later this afternoon for another food-filled family gathering. No meal plan today. I logged my breakfast - force of habit - but I'm planning to take the rest of the day off.
Wishing you all a wonderful day!

So I was able to skip the ice cream, have plenty of lamb, and still have 120 calories left for tonight. Yay! Hmm. That would be a Greek yogurt, but my store didn't have my lactose free kind for this week. As long as it's not cookies and candy! If I was really good I would eat some broccoli or an apple. I do have some goat cheese that is tasty, but calorific. Hmm. Maybe I can stop thinking about food for a few hours!1

Ive found that when you feel a craving for food, have a cup of water. If you still have the craving, have another cup of water.
And then if you're still craving then get yourself a snack (because you are actually hungry) whether that be the apple, chopped up carrot, a boiled egg (I look up 100 calorie snacks on Google lol)
Firstly having the water stops the craving and if it goes then you were just thirsty. And if it's still there and you get a snack because you've filled your tummy with water you end up having smaller snack
And youre getting your waters in for the day.
It's a win-win-win situation lol!
Hope that helps!
I should probably start doing this again myself lol!2 -
I've been invited to a wedding in October!
It's Ash's cousin. I think Ash is being a groomsman
It's the first wedding I'll have ever have gone to..I know I went to one as a kid but as a kid you don't really appreciate the occasion etc. And it wasn't family it was one of my dad's work friends.
Love an excuse to buy a new dress! But also want to be slimmer before I go so I look nice.. So I have something to aim for now! I know it's not my day or anything but I despise having photographs took of me (unless I'm taking it like a selfie) so in my mind I feel like if I look better in real life I'll look better in any photos.
I wish I could just love myself as I am but I don't, that's my own insecurity but atleast I can do something about it and try and sculpt a body I do like!4 -

Ongoing plans/ideas
1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Mar 8 7P.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?
WFTY: Focus. I just need to figure out what I'm going to focus ON.2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.1 -

APRIL CHALLENGE
I already pre-plan meals for the day. However, my daily CI fat %age had drifted up quite a bit, so:
I commit to keeping my CI fat%age within 2% of my daily goal 90% of the days. (Allows 3 pass days for celebrations 🤦♀️)
April Challenge:
CI Fat %age < 27%
🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🤦♀️🐣
🤦♀️🐣🐣
Pass days:Tues 12: lunch outing with daughters. Hard to log accurately so taking it as a pass day.Food choices over the holiday weren’t brilliant, (too much chocolate 🤦♀️) but still under maintenance overall. Looking forward to an outing my daughters are planning on Wednesday for my birthday. I will be sensible(ish) until then 😝
Fri 15: family picnic lunch, and dinner. As above.
