JFT 6/25
Had some problems last week with my gall bladder, but I'm feeling better now. I need to eat cleaner, but figure out a way to do that that won't aggravate my GB again. Oh, and I'm having terrible cravings for sweets... It's driving me nuts!
So, today...
1. Eat more fiber and drink water.
2. Stay away from sweet!!
3. Have fun sparring at Muay Thai
4. Get in your leg workout even if it means doing it later tonight...

- Make best possible choice at lunch out tomorrow
- max 1 glass of wine in eve (I have my aunt to stay for a few nights from tomorrow and this usually involves quite a bit of wine)
- light stir fry for evening meal to compensate for lunch calories
I am SO proud of myself today. Achieved all goals and despite lunch out came in on calorie target. Had pre-logged 90%of what I would eat for day and it really helped me.
I have a busy few social days with a meal out a day for next 5 days so will remind myself that I can still achieve my goals despite that!
Wow. **BIG smile!**0 -
Friday's goals
- bootcamp and push hard

JFT
1) pick myself back up and be thankful for all my MFP friends
2) go walking tonight with my dog - 30 minutes
Ruby-WTG
JFT
I will:
Walk 45 mins (just saw an ortho doc & waiting for MRI appt) walking is becoming a challenge b/c of bad knee.
Drink 9 cups of water
Start taking calcium
Check menu online at restaurant before going out tonight. pretrack choice.
Do not indulge in the bread basket at restaurant.
Search Allrecipes for some healthy slaw recipes.
Preplan our weekend-we may have family over for a BBQ
Read for 20 mins.
Have a great hump day MFPs!!
Had a hard time meeting my goals yesterday but thanks to MFP & JFT, I feel like I'm able to get back on track this time. Life can't be perfect or else I wouldn't learn any lessons!
I DID indulge in the breadbasket at last night's dinner out even though I had planned on not doing so. I did, however, try a new dish that I'm going to try to recreate as a healthier version.
JFT-
I will track.
Eat salad for lunch.
Try to fit in a 30 min walk tonight.
Tomorrow will be challenging for exercise & food as I'm volunteering at DD school. I plan on packing a salad w/tuna & fruit.
Small victory...Some of my shorts/pants are ever so slightly looser. I would love to be in the 170s by the 4th- If I can just keep going!!

Wow! great posts today everyone!
Losingrae- I am so glad you are feeling better. You inspire me many times by your posts. I can tell you are a very caring, kind person. I am glad we can help each other. We are better together than we are alone.
Kwfit- you are such a great writer and so encouraging. We have had a lot of rain too. We do get days of sunshine in between so that helps! You are doing great, I know you can drop those few pounds you gained during grad party. I am glad you enjoyed & lived in the moment. That is all part of the life balance. You cannot never get that day back; we have to cut loose sometimes:)
Sara- I hope your knee starts feeling better. I know how you feel about the wine, that is my drink of choice, a nice glass of Cabernet is my favorite
Azulviolet- great job on your positive energy and not letting your diseases stop you. I know that must be challenging, it is hard not having underlying health problems so I can only imagine. I am grateful to be on this journey with you !!!! 0 -

JFT 24/06
I had 10 fellow gardeners round for morning coffe today. Too much temptation!
1. Try to juggle my menus to counteract indulging this morning. I managed this quite well. I ate a very light dinner.
2. Chill out after my hectic weekend getting the house and garden ready.
Once my system digested all the sugary rich stuff, I just chilled!
Don't believe them when they tell you "You can't have too much of. A good thing!"
My body is telling me different this afternoon.
[/quote]
I was on the go from early yesterday, so missed posting. I had meetings all day and then dinner and theatre visit in Belfast City, then an early night. I know the restaurant menu so was able to choose wisely, steps were a little low as I was in meetings all day.
But all in all a
day.
My schedule will be much more relaxed for the next few weeks so:
JFT 26/06
1. 30 minute Aerobics session.
2. Walk for 60 minutes at least.
3. Redistribute all the things we 'tidied' into the hobbies room on Tuesday. I can bearly reach the computer desk.
4. De clutter as I do No 4.
5. Keep to steps/calorie goals.
6. Do it all mindfully.

Every journey starts with a single step.
LOVE THIS QUOTE - Thank you for sharing.
I did OK yesterday until evening again. A lot of stress going on with my daughter right now, who is suffering from mental illness. I have to work extra hard to keep myself from getting down with her.
so just for today
1. stay strong. Things could get worse, and just turn it over to God.
2. Log my food
3. exercise is the best medicine for stress - so if it is not raining, get out for a much needed walk. My thoughts are with you, Joan. Positive energy winging your way. 0 -
@ruby: So glad to hear you had an up day!!! That is certainly a motivator . I know there have been days when I couldn't even post here coz I was already failing, or I listed my goals and failed so miserably that I didn't want to comment! Then I wait until I am almost thru a "successful" day to post...and sometimes that is what it has taken: to be able to document a little success to keep me going . I don't know how it has been down by you, but it has been rainy and blah up here, which can really affect some folks' motivation! Keep going!!!
@vicki1947: Oh, that sounds difficult. Keep pressing forward...I hope you can spend some special moments with Dad if these are his last days, and that there would be a miraculous peace amidst your family. Remember, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted.
@Joan: Sounds like you are having a challenging time also. But you have the key right there in your hand: Very decidedly and in faith, turn it all over to the Lord because He is able, (and we are not)!
@losingrae: Good to see your returning posts! You are cared for here and are missed in your absences. So glad to see you taking steps back to taking care of yourself Maybe stick a "non-health" goal in for yourself, like to listen to your favorite CD, or rearrange a room--some life-thing that would give you a perk?!?? It might help the rest of life seem brighter. And I think you should focus more on the present/future--how good it will feel to get back in shape, or at least to look at the past positively: "I did lose all my weight 6 years ago, so that means I can do it again!!!" Keep on keeping on!
@Saragirl: You have such great goals, and you seem to be just consistently plugging away! Good for you!!!!! I hope there is nothing serious with your mention of MRI/needing to start taking calcium????
I did so-so on goals yesterday--got the fluids in!!! I am working on just losing the 5 pounds I gained back around the graduation party...3 to go, then I can work on the last bit.
JFT 25 June:
1. Stay w.i. fasting cal. goal today thru Saturday
2. Drink 3+ pints water/tea
3. Exercise 30 min.
4. Finish getting all ready for garage sale!!!
Such an inspiration to see all this positive encouragement. It is people like you that have helped me finally break over 40 years of yo yo dieting and return to a semblance of health and fitness.

Am actually pretty pleased. Achieved most goals. Ok I am around 200 calorie over net but I worked my backside off at bootcamp and have walked over 3 hours and over 7 miles today with my aunt so at least feel like I earned it.
proud of myself cos I didn't have a dessert at the restaurant. .. cos I realised I really wasn't hungry. This is progress for me.
To everyone on here... I love reading your posts and although I don't always comment, I am inspired by your success, feel for you in your troubles and always but always wish you peace and joy.
Keep doing what you can.. it's Just For Today.0 -

Ok
hit first goal.
then enjoyed ice cream and a scone with my aunt during our walk in the afternoon, then pigged out on crisps and dips in addition to the healthy dinner, not to the mention the wine.
Worst day vs target this week.
