    - Make the right choice.

    Haha love how I give a whole motivational speech about choices and ^^^THAT^^^ was all it amounted to 😂😂

    So where I went wrong was I didn't log dinner. I should have, but I didn't, I made that choice to "log it later" knowing full well I'd forget. And then from that it got worse because I then didn't log some of the snacks and at the point who knows what I was snacking on last night.
    And I went wrong on the water because I didn't get enough in before bedtime
    I need to do 6 before bedtime to hit my goal.

    But I'm sticking with it, sticking with the choices. Might make that word of the year rather than a goal.

    JFT Tues 14th Feb 💕❤️😍😘

    (Happy Valentines everyone!)
    - Log all food
    - 8 waters
    - Take Meds


    Can't promise to log all the food because it's gonna be an indulgent day today. But I'll try


    I saw this yesterday and today it’s hitting me especially because I’ve had exactly the same thing happen on so many occasions. Start out with good intentions. Always so motivated in the morning…then mid day small decisions accumulate and next thing I know I’m off the rails. Gonna try to step back.. one easy thing is for me to not look at what the lounge at work has for food. I always bring my lunch but usually they have a pretty decent soup or sometimes a certain chicken I might like…the problem is it’s never healthy, full of empty calories and I eat it WITH my lunch instead of at least swapping.

    Today I’m just gonna eat what I bring

    Sierra starts her new therapy regimen today. I hope it goes well and they can get her stable in a short amount of time. She came home for a day last weekend. It was good to see her, but very hard to watch her leave. This weekend is siblings weekend at RMU. She invited Vanessa to come stay with her, and V said yes. This is a huge thing as she and Vanessa have not had the greatest relationship over the past few years.

    This week is a stressful one at work with higher ups visiting the plant. Did the obligatory dinner last night and meetings today and tomorrow. Nothing major, but a few things I need to follow up on. There is an outside chance I will be traveling to Macon, GA for work next week. Not sure yet. Might actually be nice to get out of town for a few days.

    I guess it's Valentine's Day. It kind of snuck up on me. I didn't really get anything for hubby. Maybe I can go get a card after work. IDK.

    Ate really poorly yesterday. Haven't worked out in over a week. Have a really hard time caring these days.

    Chin up buttercup. Time to make some goals

    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - No chocolate candies
    - Eat what I brought to eat
    - Log food
    - Home by 5:00
    - Make dinner for hubby, or have hubby make dinner for me, or maybe cook together
    - Be present at home
    - Go to bed early
    - Get up and go to the gym before work tomorrow!

    Hi everyone..it’s been almost three years since I’ve been active in the group. The year I did was really the most fit I’ve ever been. The year that followed I fell off the group…let things go. Still was active but not good about diet. Last year I did intermittent fasting and lost over 20 lbs in like just short of 3 months but also lost a lot of strength. This year I’ll turn 49 in August and I want to be Fit Pete… I race mountain bikes. My buddies joke about “skinny Pete” during race season… I’d say currently I’m “plus sized pete” and my spirit animal is my 18 lb orange tabby. I’d like to become “fit Pete”.I actually posted yesterday but realized I started a new discussion by mistake. You guys were reason for success last time so would be silly to fix what’s not broken.

    Goals for today
    Stay under calorie goal
    Log all food
    No beer
    Hang with family after work
    No trainer today (forced rest)

    Welcome back!

    Im not sure if i will be hitting my diet goal this week.
    Its a long story but i think i have become b12 deficient thru diet (ran some rough numbers and i appear to have only been getting 25, maybe 33% of the RDA).
    I bought some fortified milk. I also discovered that the cheerios in the house have been fortified. Is this why so often my binges are cereal? Why i get milk cravings? My animal product cravings have increased lately as well.
    These arent really questions for you, but my doctor, who i have been putting off seeing.
    I knew b12 would possibly become an issue since i dont like animal products much and have been eating less and less lately, but i figured it would be nothing to worry about. That only trace amounts are needed, then possibly eating under the RDA would be fine. That logic isnt solid. I guess i gotta always be pushing boundaries and experimenting. 😂

    I will be making myself drinking two cups of fortified soymilk a day until i feel better or my doc tells me to stop. I blew through all my daily and weekly points yesterday but i dont regret (except maybe the curry lol). Ill have to catch up on the thread later; i have so much to do but have been so tired.

    Goal for the week 2 13 thru 2 27
    NO SNACKS except a protein shake
    2/13 Monday :) Well .. I kinda did snack at 4 in the afternoon. We were out running errands .. it was a beautiful day, close to 60 degrees. Got home, and hubby says how about a margarita, and some chips and dip leftover from sunday.So .. we sat in our patio room, had a margarita, and some chips and dip. But... I had the spinach dip (only 80 calories for 2 TBSP, and some low-fat triscuit crackers. But what I did do was eat very lite for dinner .. just a big salad with chicken on it. Our daughter came out in the evening... got out the tortilla chips, and took a huge bowl. You have no idea how often I walked past that bag of chips and almost grabbed a few .. which is what I normally do. But I stopped... made the choice to not have any, filled my water glass again. So, day 1, I think I did ok!

    Welcome back!! I know for me, if I stop coming, I gain even more, or just give up. This thread, while I still need to lose weight, at least keeps me from just throwing in the towel completely. We are happy to see you back... and missed you! Success feeds success!

    Today marks six weeks into Weight Watchers. Thats hafway thru my three month commit. Im so happy i signed up. Im finally on autopilot with dieting and weightloss. Its been such a success for me, im sure i will continue after the three months are over. Im still losing roughly 5# a week. At this rate ill hit my goal in around six months. Im feeling better, exaclt how i felt when i was lower weight before, but at a higher weight, prolly cause im doing this slow and sustainably.

    Wow -- 5# a week! You are doing great .. so much better than I am. I am lucky to lose .5 pounds a week.. very frustrating.

    Oh whoops! I meant to type *point* 5 pounds a week! Oh god, im only 130#, five pounds a week would be terrible! xD A quarter to half a pound a week was what i was hoping to ride at, so yeah, im doing pretty good, but not for the reasons you think. xD

    Trying NOT to stress eat today. First, yesterday with the shootings at Michigan State .. my granddaughter goes to school there. She is ok thankfully.. she was off campus working. But wow... what is this world coming to.
    then found out I screwed up our taxes for our accountant. Took me all morning to figure out what I did .. but so stressful! I was so worried I would have to redo our W2s, but out accountant had a easy fix. So now I can breathe ... and going to do some sewing. And.. I managed to eat a sensible lunch, will make manicotti for dinner tonite.. and my goal again.. no snacking

    Today was rough. Still stressed at worked and falling behind, still have a huge pile of dirty dishes and dirty laundry. Didn’t make healthy food choices either. I had to pretty much force myself to eat anything because my appetite was just nonexistent.

    Hope everyone else’s day went better than mine did.

    Yesterday was a bust. Sara made apple crisp and man i was off to the races from the minute I picked up the spatula. I simply have no ability to regulate once I let the Genie out of the bottle. Starts with heaping helping of Sara’s crisp, then why not hot chocolate? Well the hot chocolate is brewing and I don’t want to eat all the crisp before the hot chocolate so the Aldi’s triple dessert bar or three would be nice… WTH ??!!! 🤣 then after that of course comes the immediate guilt. There is this show on Netflix called bigmouth. Cartoon, widely inappropriate about teens. Anyway there is a character called the guilt monster. That guys is real for sure!
    Well today is a new day

    - Get up and go to the gym before work tomorrow! :(

    Valentine's Day was a bust. I didn't eat lunch, so I binged when I got home. Then we went out to dinner. I ordered a low calorie meal, but ate like 3 rolls. Oh well, today is a new day. Of course I already didn't go to the gym and I've had 3 pieces of chocolate candy. Definitely not off to a good start.

    Last day of the big wigs being on site, so meetings/presentations in the AM, then different meetings in the afternoon. Fun day.

    Trivia night tonight, but not sure I really want to go. I feel bad if I don't since it's a team thing, but then again it is just trivia. Maybe if I leave work a little early and can squeeze in a shower, I'll feel better. Basically, I'm usually too tired after the bar to bother with the shower, so getting it in before might help.

    JFT Wednesday
    - Up by 4:30 :(
    - Gym :(
    - Shower :(
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings
