    JFT - enjoy grandsons bd party with small piece of cake to fit within my calorie goal.

    It is stressful here. Son's wife left him for another man and their baby was only 1 at the time. (What was she thinking????).

    Anyway 4 year old and now 2 year old are having a hard time adjusting to all the shuffling back and forth. She said "they will be fine". Aargh!! Maybe for her but my son has no family here to help out. We are trying to come up (9 hr drive) as often as we can to give him some help when he has them.

    Sad situation!!

    I had an off day yesterday. it is what is it, and it's in the past.
    JUST FOR TODAY, I will enjoy time with a friend, eat sensibly, and see a movie without eating popcorn.

    Ha ha! I've stopped buying popcorn at the movies most of the time, but sometimes I just get the small one and eat half (It helps if you're a klutz and drop it when you sit down).

    LOL to dropping the popcorn bag!!!! great tactic! :)

    Yesterday, again....
    1. log all my food :/
    2. remember to concentrate on water :/
    3. watch sugar grams - went WAY over yesterday, so today I know I will be craving things. :/
    4. exercise :/

    Got tons of work done, but not so good on the eating/logging, etc.
    but, a new day today.

    Just for today, sunday
    1. log all food -- this includes the 2 ice cream bars I just ate :/
    2. Turn the day around. Off to a bad start with ice cream for breakfast - so don't turn this into an entire bad day.
    3. exercise

    It has been a crazy busy weekend, which is good, because even though my eating tipped over a bit, I have been doing hours of things like scrubbing the siding on our house and hoeing/gardening/planting...So, I ought to see a pound off soon :-). The last two days have gone perfect on cals...until some after dinner emotional eating on both nites :/ --BLAH.

    JFT 7 June:
    1. Stay in cal. limit
    2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
    3. Some sort of exercise--30 min.
    4. Try not to miss my 3 teens too much as they just left for a week's camp one hour ago (translated: Don't emotionally eat & Don't cry all day! It is also two of their bday's--today and Wed--and we'll not be able to celebrate until they get back!) It will be a different household dynamic all together, with my 5 youngers!!
    5. In order to do #4 well, spend some time in God's word & prayer, reflecting on His goodness in all He provides!! :):)

    Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday!

    Joan, Congratulations on getting a bunch of work done--doesn't that feel awesome???!!! God's grace to you today in turning the day around. That is a great goal and attitude for the rest of the day :) . And, who knows, maybe your body is craving fat--so make a point to enjoy some nuts or other healthy fats and it will probably cut your sugar craving way down!!! I'll look forward to hearing good news tomorrow! :)

    Oh, Vicky, that just about rips my heart out!!! Will be praying for you, that you may minister grace and soothing into the lives of your grandchildren as you visit...God has placed you in their lives as a stable point--they will remember that in the midst of tumult! And just think of what you could do also even when you are away, to encourage them in letters which your son could read to them. They would have those words in their hearts to carry them through the years. Enjoy your time with your precious ones!

    Great success on daily goals everyone.

    JFT - I will try to not overeat at the amusement park with my grandsons. Need to drink more water.

    I did well. Just a bite of funnel cake and cotton candy. Had a chicken philly sandwich but did not eat al of the bread. Lots of steps. Over 10,000. Stayed within my calories. Success.

    P.S., as pertains to MFP here, congrats on maintaining discipline in the midst of heartache!!! Go easy on yourself. :)

    happy Sunday all.
    Just For Tonight,
    I will brush my teeth right after dinner, and chew mint gum if that's what it takes to not continue eating!

    Hi. I'm back after a nuts week and some totally out of control eating.
    And it stops here and I'm looking forward to getting back on track and attacking the remaining 14 lbs (or may be slightly more after last week - will see tomorrow).
    I want to hit my target by 6th August and this will take full commitment.

    Good news is I have a few weeks of low stress with plenty of spare time so can fit in loads of exercise and that tends to make me want to make good food choices.

    So I CAN do this!

    So Monday's goals:
    - Hit calorie target. Pure and simple.

    Wishing you all joy on at least some small way.
    Smiles.

    I love this idea! I hope you don't mind if I join in. :)

    Yesterday: I drank enough water, but was under 900 calories as I have been the past six days. I don't know how to stop obsessing about food. I have always either obsessed about eating whatever I want or eating as little as possible.

    Today I will drink enough water, log all my calories in, and instead of obsessing about an extreme, I will make my goal to hit the 1200 calorie goal and view it as an accomplishment rather than something to feel guilty about.

    I read through all the posts for the past two days & I wish I could take time to comment on many of them. My heart goes out to all who are struggling (eating, exercise & emotional) and I hope today will be so much better. There are some days that we just have to push through while other days we seem to sail through with the wind at our backs. Hope we're all sailing today!
    JFT
    Plan the days ahead.
    "Am I in control of my day OR does my day control me?" (An old mantra that I need to dust off)
    Make healthy wholefood choices & log it!
    Fit in Pilates
    Take two truckloads of heavy yard waste to DPW (weight lifting).
    Garden
    Do not eat for emotional reasons
    Early to bed 9-9:30

    Good morning, it has been a long, long, loooong while since I have checked in with this group. It has also been a long time since I have logged or paid any attention to my diet. I think I am ready to get back on track. I use the term "think" because I do not have the conviction that I have had in the past. Not really sure where my head is at on that level. Anyway, it's always good to start with baby steps:

    Just for Today June 8th:
    1. drink 8 glasses of water
    2. log all of my food
