Getting really sick of this just deleting what I've written. There was more under both quote posts above.... can't be bothered to write for a 3rd time....
Essentially am back on track after having a poor week last week and putting on a lb.
Tuesday's goal:
Stay under net calories
That's it.0 -
I love seeing these goals! I love the emotional ones, like staying positive, being happy. Important things to think about beyond just the scale and diet...
Today was to not eat sweets or snack after dinner- achieved!
Tomorrow:
- Avoid sweets
- get outside for a walk
I think what helped me achieve the goal was working out first thing in the morning and having food generally prepped and ready. Also, having a game plan- i actually ate some food in the car because of one kids baseball practice right during dinner time. I felt a little embarrassed eating in the car, but I know myself, and if I go past a certain point of hunger, I just let myself go and succumb to sweets and other poor choices. This way, I could come home from the 1.5 hour practice with energy to get the kids fed, bathed, read stories etc, instead of stuffing my face.0 -

You know what I realized? I haven't felt GUILTY about my eating in a couple of months! Not that I haven't screwed up and eaten the wrong things, but focusing on positive goals and moving on each day has taken away a sense of guilt that I have been carrying for a really long time. I wonder how much 40 years of guilt weighs? I definitely feel lighter with it gone!
That's awesome! Good job!0 -
Didn't post my goals yesterday and did ok with food but then had 3 alcoholic drinks b/c my cramps were so bad (sorry, tmi) and that put me over my calories and up on the scale. No beating myself up, I'm just back to drinking my water today!
Today:
log everything!
eat with intention, no mindless eating!
enjoy the day, live in the moment!(this has a profound effect on how my eating goes for the day as well as my heart & soul)
no eating after dinner

That is sooooooooooooooo exciting!!! Congratulations to you--what an incredible accomplishment!!!! Go, go, go!! Hopefully you have something quite fun (non-food) set up as a reward for that one.
And I think I'm going to lose what I've typed here if I go to a previous page to find my last post, so I'll do my JFT's on the next one.

Just for today:
1. Stay within calorie goal & arrange cals during day so I can have treats tonite
2. Re: the treats tonite: I want to stay in the place of "having some food", not "the food having me"!
2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
3. 30+ min exercise
4. Peacefully finish getting ready for my company tonite!
Yesterday was "bummer scale" morning, but today was what I expected. I have officially arrived at my next "decade" and have lost 30 pounds. I have a super reward I am really excited about.
Just for Today:
1. Celebrate a little by allowing myself 200 extra cals today--that will be eating like a "normal thin person" as I have been eating at a very low cal level for weeks.
2. Drink my 3+ pints water/tea
3. Exercise 25 min.
4. Spend some nice time with my children to make up for the past busy week!
Have a super day everyone!
