    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.

    I hope it is a Marvelous Monday for each of you B)

    Did my plans ever change yesterday.
    We decided to visit our daughter and family so that we could tour their new home. It is going to be so great for all of them!!
    But, I did not meet my goals :o

    Sun 7/12/15
    :s 1. I will eat only my planned food - no late night snacking.
    <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.
    :'(
    I will be drinking lots of water.

    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!

    JFT - stay within 1,200 calories.

    Gained a couple from all the delicious food (ie cake) that everyone brought for dads funeral. Stress eating. :'(

    Vicky, I know I missed a lot of posts, but I am so very sorry to hear of your dads funeral. Hugs and prayers for you. Take good care of yourself also during this difficult time.

    Sunday:
    1. 12,000 steps :( 10,090
    2. pick fruit and lift heavy things :)
    3. under 100G carbs :(

    I kind of gorged myself on blueberries yesterday. Not sure why, but that is the only food that I tend to want to overeat like that. Hence the drastic carb failure.

    Monday:
    1. REST
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. under 100G carbs

    This sounds like fun! I'll give it a go.

    JFT 12.07.2015
    1. Stay under my calorie limit for the day (1500 + half exercise calories). :)
    2. Go for my run (Couch25k W2D2). :)
    3. Clean the kitchen. :| (My SO said he'd do it the following day and he did!)

    1. Stay under my calorie limit for the day (1500 + half exercise calories).

    JFT 14.07.2015 (I'll be gone for the day so I'll set my goals now)
    1. Enjoy the food offered without panicking about not being able to log accurately.
    2. That being said, don't use the day as an excuse to pig out on all the cakes/cookies likely to be offered.
    3. Go for my run (Couch25k W2D3) MAYBE. Either that, or the next day.

    JFT 14/07
    1. Pre-plan menus and follow plan
    2. Strength 50+, legs. I'm a glutton for punishment lol
    3. Flexibility 30+, yoga. :) I actually did 35 already.
    4. Cardio 30+

    I've not been this focused on exercise (apart from walking) for quite some time. Sometimes you need to challenge yourself to progress. I hit a plateau early in June and this challenge has got me moving again.

    I really like this thread. One day at a time is such simple but positive way to take on a big challenge like losing weight and staying healthy!

    Just for today I will:
    1. Log everything I eat
    2. Eat only when I am hungry, not because of my emotions
    3. Be kind to Myself
    4. Don't use all or nothing thinking

    That's it!

    Did meditate.
    Went way over calories.... been feeling grumpy and a bit headache all day. Chose to self medicate with chocolate and junk instead of anything useful (although am proud of choosing a healthy salad lunch before derailing completely later on).

    Am hoping u wake feeling better tomorrow. ...
