Work was busy yesterday. During the audit I needed to go out into the plant which means I had to wear a Nomex jump suit and hard hat. Definitely not my best look. Actually, the Nomex barely fit. I need to fix this, now! I think I may cut alcohol completely. My eating isn't awful, but there are too many wasted calories from beer.
Decided to stay home last night instead of going out with friends. Spin class had low attendance, but those of us there enjoyed the Irish theme and the workout. Had left over wings for dinner. Didn't log, but it was the only meal I ate yesterday, so I know I was green. Tim did the taxes last night while I played with the dogs. Ok only the young one plays, but the older dog comes over for loving. It was a good night, but I stayed up a little later than I like.
Today is a light day. After work, I'll go see mom. Then home. Not sure if we'll stay in or go out. I vote for staying in. I'm just tired. I go to neurology on Thursday to set up my sleep study. Hopefully that will give some answers. Hopefully, the answer isn't sleep apnea. If it is that is another reason to lose weight.

Right now I'm so frustrated with various tech issues. Not the reason I didn't post yesterday, it's just today's issue. Argh!
JFT 3/18 T ~ Another windy day. Just not wanting to go for long walk with dog. Hubby took her around the neighborhood instead. Good for hubby & dog.

Didn't do much after work yesterday. Decided not to go to mom's. I will go today. Instead I played with the puppy. I swear we played fetch for 2 hours. He is a happy dog. Though I did catch him counter surfing one time, he listened well and got down. Tim went for a run, then ran some errands. He didn't get home until almost 9:00pm. I was pretty much done for the day by then, but I hung out for a little bit before going to bed.
Slow day at work today, though it started very early with a Teams message at 6:45am. Some people in my position come in very early. I'm not one of them, but I will take calls and messages from home in the early hours.
Post-work, I will go to mom's. She needs cigarettes and gets very cranky if I forget. After 50 years, I've finally stopped trying to get her to quit. Hopefully it will be a quick visit. Then home and maybe to trivia. It depends on how the doggo is doing. I hate having him in the kennel all day and then putting him back in after only a couple of hours. We used to take him to doggy daycare on Mon & Wed, but his trainers said we need to not do that for a few weeks so he gets used to the rules.

Lost track of the days, its been busy. I am ready for my upcoming time off and trip to some sunny weather.
Yesterday was a weird day , Ate lunch (which was plenty of protein )and then hit a wall energy wise. Finished out my day at work about 4:30 pm and then took one of the dogs for a walk thinking it would make me feel better to get some fresh air. I did ok but then ended up having what felt like a hypoglycemic attack half way through. Got really shaky, sweaty, light headed and weak on my way home. Thankfully I was nearly home by the time it got really bad. I managed to get inside, ate some food (even though I really didn't feel hungry) electrolytes and started to feel better but still had no energy. I have no idea why this happened, I ate breakfast, lunch and got enough water . Feeling better this morning.
JFT

A question for anyone who wants to reply: Are you getting lots of "friend" requests on MFP from strange men? Not sure why, but I seem to be getting them frequently. I just decline but what a pain.

Pissed me off… again / rehearse music / read / digital declutter / get Fitbit working & syncing correctly ~ had to research, forgot this Fitbit has restart in Settings on Fitbit itself… that finally resolved issue but I lost steps per hour, oh well / other? wished MD happy bday, scheduled lunch w/ friend & former co-worker who's retiring end of this month, topped up heated birdbath 😀 ta-da!

Going to have the mexicain cookies my friend level. Wasn't planning it, but it's ok. Dessert at lunch ok. Went over my lunch calories.

Well my sweet tooth really kicked in today and I think I have to honestly call it a binge. Been a long time since I did that, but it's still part of me evidently. I think in reaction to some stress we've been having with the neighbor. Oh well! My husband says it can be triggered when my weight goes to its lowest too. (Go figure..)
Hour commitment - Now I won't eat again until after 5 pm. I won't throw-up. No more desserts today. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Concentrate on vegetables/fruits for dinner. Can still have my dose of metamusal.
I feel like crap!😫
Embarassing!

You should be SO proud of yourself… you have not had a binge in a long time. For me… its a constant struggle yet. I haven't managed to control it.. but you have. Be proud of yourself.. its one day.. and I know you… your right back on track already!!

I woke up again today… reminding myself of what I did to lose the weight before. I KNOW what to do.. why is it so hard then!
I think part of my reason is now I have so much to lose.. close to 40 pounds. And I tell myself bad negative things.. like you'll never lose this weight at age 74… your tyroid will keep me from losing weight (which is an issue, but the doctor so far refuses to put me on meds for that).. that I'm OK being the way I am. All things that are not helping me at all.
THe past 3 weeks I 've been sick with an awful cold. So has hubby. And what were we doing… not only laying around all day and not exercising.. but eating ice cream because it felt good when you have a sore throat.
Today I feel better.. so I went to the gym. Had an OK workout. I worked in the yard. I went on another walk .. another 3 miles. I did great all day!
Then.. tonite I'm baking oatmeal cookies, and I think I have eaten 4 so far. And these are not little cookies either.
So once again tomorrow.. I'll start over for the upteenth time. never give up
JFT, 3/20
- log all food.. no matter what

Well, I woke up and my computer is dead as a door nail (is that the expression)! Using my husband's computer. Plus I'm leaving Friday morning for a weekend away at Sequoia for our anniversary. So I won't do JFT again until next week, but will do hour commitments if needed (and if I have connection). Thank you all for being here.
Today, no desserts! And I can eat lunch early due to my lunch meeting.

My eating was off yesterday, but I met my alcohol goal of 3 beers. It's easy on trivia nights to go over. I've also started limiting my days out. Hubby and I had gotten into the habit of eating out 5 days a week and eating leftovers the other 2 days. We still aren't perfect, but we are cutting back.
I have a neurology appointment today to discuss my exhaustion and likely set up a sleep study. Hopefully, I get some answers other than, "You seem fine. Your thyroid is almost in range, your blood sugar is good, not insulin resistant…". In the last 10 years I've gained 90 pounds, with 50 being in the last 2 years. That is crazy to me. I've never been great at eating, but I was ALWAYS active. Now I am just plain exhausted all of the time. I still teach spin classes a couple of days a week, but not like I used to. Hell, who wants to see a fat-*kitten* instructor when they are trying to get in shape. Enough self loathing, time to move forward.
Coming back to work after the doc appointment, then likely home to nap. I sleep about 2 hours every evening before bed and still go to bed around 10:00pm. My watch says it isn't "restful" sleep. Mostly "light" sleep which is not regenerative. Sigh. I just want to ride my bike again. Great now I'm crying at work.
No plans this evening other than playing with the pups.
