    jft sunday, stop giving in to the impulsive side of my brain that becomes really loud when I decide to make a push in weight loss and listen to the now quieter logical/practical side.

    Friday:
    1. 15,000 steps :smiley: 17,557
    2. get gardening tasks done :)
    3. lift weights :)

    Yesterday I ate less than 1000 calories, did all of the above (several hours of heavy gardening; full weight workout, plus walking) and still GAINED 3 pounds. I am really at a point of complete frustration with my body. Seriously.

    Saturday:
    1. 12,000 steps
    2. swim a mile
    3. under 100G carbs



    I can relate-it seems that even with less cals & more exercise my body can still show a gain. Just keep going & be patient. That's what all the people in maintenance keep telling us!

    Try to stay out of the kitchen except for meal prep. Too much grazing!
    Track everything (especially afternoon & evening foods)
    Start paint projects.
    Stay positive.
    Drink water throughout the day.
    Take daughter to library & possibly for a swim.
    Find inspiration.

    But, I did not meet my goals :o

    Sun 7/12/15

    <3 2. Walk out side if my leg can handle it.
    :s 3. Grocery shopping
    :s 4. Do 15 minutes / room to declutter


    Mon 7/13/15
    1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    <3 2. Walk out side if my leg can handle it. I have walked already, but certainly not as far as I hoped. :s
    3. Grocery shopping
    4. Dr. to check leg

    The next couple days are to be very hot. Heat index is suppose to reach 105 TO 107.

    Hmmmm... haven't posted in a few days.... making a list of goals isn't working for me. I end up beating myself up for not completing the list! Might try again in a few days. :'(

    Just for today...

    1. Come back! Post everyday my goals, and no matter what, keep trying.
    2. Log my food - including the snickers ice cream bar I just age :/

    I am in such a bad slump. I think it is part depression over my daughters illness, part disappointment in myself that I can't seem to get the emotional eating in control. And the emotional eating just leads to weight gain, which adds to depression.

    But I know I have to keep trying. I am up about 15 lbs from last year at this time, so time to get in gear. But that means I do not have to be perfect everyday. And accept that not everyday I will eat what I am suppose to eat. But I have to keep coming back, keep trying, and if I can have 3 good days out of the week even, that is OK.

    You guys are all doing so great. I don't have time right now to read all the posts, but plan to do this tonite instead of grabbing food for comfort!
