JFT 6/19/15
Was sick all day due to nausea and stomach cramps. I'm pretty sure there's something in my diet I need to change. I've had gall bladder issues in the past, especially when I have a very clean diet with lots of fiber. Didn't exercise, but I met my calorie goal and rested.
JFT 6/20/15
- Meet calorie goal
- Get school instruments needing repair labeled and ready to go for Monday
- Hit the gym after my daughter goes to bed - need to make up the upper body workout I missed yesterday.
- STRETCH! I'm very sore from shadowboxing for 6-7 rounds on Thursday.
- Practice guitar for 15 minutes... Teaching a guitar class next fall, gotta brush up!
- Get stuff all finished for father's day!
Have a great father's day, guys!!!0 -

Put me in the sick with a cold boat too. Hope everyone feels better fast!
I got my run in yesterday, so I will lay low today and be careful to eat mindfully.
OH, I almost forgot..... During my run (the only time I can think clearly) it occurred to me that I really need to post using the positive on this thread. Duh. So, please bonk me over the head if you catch me saying what I "won't" do on any given day!!!0 -

JFT Monday I really need to work on setting weekend goals
1. cook chicken for salads (yes it is in the fridge this time)
2. extra fluids to help prevent random allergic reaction on face
3. on that note, keep hands off face.
4. mow or exercise. This will largely be dependent on when I get home0 -
I guess today will be my rest day since my Fitbit battery is not charged. I will walk as much as possible but won't have a record.
Try to not give in to munchies here at the hospital with my dad. If here at lunch eat a salad.0 -
My weekend was bad! Too many family get-togethers, and though I did much of the cooking I was not careful with my portions and I did not entirely avoid the foods I planned to avoid. In general I am feeling that my cravings are hormonal (peri-menopause) and I am having much more trouble than ever before staying on track!! My new plan is to figure out my meals in advance and to pre-track them. Wishing myself luck!0

I am wishing you luck too. It can be very difficult when trying to avoid all those good food items at family gatherings.
But that is over and done with. Today is a new day and start. It took a while for the cravings to stop. I just had to realize that it is ok to feel hungry and crave things. I just had to bite the bullet and not give in to the cravings. Because I knew how much I wanted to be healthier and look better.
Every once in a while those cravings rear their ugly head but they are fewer and farther between. I just exercise for the calories I want when I have a treat.
Good luck. We are all cheering for you.0
