I know how you feel, by the end of the day it can be hard to have the energy to workout. Great job for starting over, one day at a time. I believe in you and I know you can do this. Start with baby steps and before you know it you will be running. I love to have a glass of wine at night too

Feeling pretty blah about weight/food, etc. I have been yoyo-ing in this last "10 lb-to-go" area...down to 113, up to 117, down to 111, up to 115 (I am short and small-boned)...Any infraction on my eating discipline shows up way faster than during the time of my losing the first 35 lb--i.e., I never gained back weight while losing the first 35 lb!! Morning of graduation party, I only had 6 lb to reach goal. Now I am back up to 10
. Post-party blues (and leftover food), I guess, too...So, I need to get remotivated.
JFT 18 June:
1. Stay w/i fasting calorie goal.
2. Drink 4 pints water (starting now!)
3. Go on 30 min arm exercise walk0 -

Be ok with feeling hungry. It's just one feeling that doesn't define my day.
Salad before meals
Don't replace my exercise calories.
I have learned that feeling a little hungry will not kill me. It is a better feeling than that sick over-stuffed feeling any day.
Sometimes what I feel is thirst and I have a glass of water and just wait until meal time. If I can't wait, I have a few unsalted nuts or 1 T of peanut butter.
Can't believe these hanits have just become second nature. Am not going back to my old ways.0 -
Just for Today,
I will mindfully experience the physical effects of last night's doritos binge and ask myself why i'd ever truly want to eat another one in this lifetime.
I will log every single bite today. binge or no binge.
just for today, i hate food. i love food, and i hate food. i also know it's just a feeling, i'm allowed to have it, and it will pass.
here's to a healthier Thursday to everyone, including myself.
Amen to that!0 -

I've been MIA these past few weeks. Traveling, yard work, etc. just super busy.
But I am enjoying reading so much all the new posts, and new people that have joined us!! So a big welcome!!
My weight also has been going up and down - so it is time for me to also get refocused. Eating icecream in the evenings is starting to become a habit - something I do not want to happen! Its funny how 1 nite of Dairy Queen buster bars can lead to another nite, etc. Then I try and buy low-fat ice cream, and that becomes a bad habit.
So just for today
1. Healthy eating. Only lean meat, veggies, and fruits
2. drink water. This has always been a struggle for me, but I know how important it is.
3. If it EVER STOPS RAINING - get out for a walk! We have had tons of rain (I live near st louis), and 2-5 more inches predicted for tomorrow! SO I miss my walking and biking!
Hope you all have a great day. I'm hoping tonite to be able to read all the posts - I am like 38 posts behind!!!

I can SO relate to this - last October, I was 10 lbs from my goal weight. I think as we get closer to our goal, it is harder to lose and to keep it off. But we have to remember this is a lifestyle change. I imagine for thin people, their weight goes up and down also. It never ends once we reach our goal weight. So this is how I am trying to get my thinking. Pretend I am at my goal weight, and continue to eat healthy. You are doing so great!!

- hit calorie goal on a rest day.
When I achieve this, it will be the first time in a long time I've done it and by managing food intake alone. My body needs some rest after double bootcamp today!
Achieving it will show me I'm serious about hitting my August goal. .. and also this week's goal.
I can do this!
YES!!!!! Achieved! So proud of myself. Amazing what can happen when you make a decision and FULLY commit to it!!

Yesterday was a great day home with my baby girl. Met my calorie goals, but was tempted by the wonderful chicken Alfredo tortellini that my husband had for dinner. Had a few bites... Omg. Soooo good. But I need to keep that in check. That's a slippery slope for me (geez... I sound like an addict... Ugh....).
Today, had class number 3 of Muay Thai. It felt like trying to drink from a firehose, but it was a lot of fun. 6 rounds or so of shadowboxing followed by fun plank drills. The guys don't cut me any slack and they're very supportive. I'm glad I decided to take that class. Did my lower body circuit an hour after class. Felt strong!
Tomorrow's goals:
1. Upper body day followed by cardio - make it count
2. Limit artificial sweeteners....
3. No extra "bites"
4. Stay the course. You can. You will. You must.
6. Get my instrument repair stuff done (work stuff)
7. Enjoy time with my husband on his day off work
Happy Friday, everyone

JFT 19/06
Hectic schedule so no time to post I visited an elderly Aunt midday, then went on a Mystery Steam and Jazz trip with the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland in the evening, which was a blast. I packed healthy food and stayed well away from the dining car. I danced when we stopped on the platforms. The Jazz band played for 40 mins each at 3 restored Victorian stations, Lisburn, Whitehead and Carrickfergus.
