2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?
I do all sorts of crafts, paint watercolours, write poetry. I am an ex-teacher, so I run 4 groups for a local charity and belong to another 10 or so, but will have to put them on hold until I recover from my hip op. I have a new patchwork project, my first full quilt, which I hope will keep me busy.
JFT
1. Listen to the Doctor/physio and follow there instructions

Headed home after 7 days on the road.
I will stay under my calorie goal. I mean it.
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I will work out for 40 minutes and do my exercise routine mindfully
I am expressing gratitude for my parents. Today, focusing on the fact that they're active, mobile and sharp in their mid 80's.
Could have done much better on the road last week.
For yesterday, I was over my calories by 12%. Missed logging a snack...
Didn't reinforce my wellness mantra and didn't work out.
For today:
I will stay under my new calorie goal.
I will reinforce my wellness mantra.
I will work out for 80 minutes.
I am expressing gratitude for my parents. Spent time with them over the weekend which reinforced the loving, supportive environment they created for me. To this day, I feel cherished walking in their door.

Just for today, September 14th, I will:

- Do 10 squats every time I go to pee unless someone's in the bathroom because awkward.
- See sugar for the poison it is and avoid it altogether.
- Encourage myself like I would a good friend.
- Remember that my health is invaluable and this life is the only one I get.

Try to care about my health for more than the first 2 hours of my day
Drink the water
Really really try to log- I've been so horrible
Really really really try to avoid the extra sugar- as previous post says- it really is poison, but for me it's heroin

JFT
1. Leave the ice cream alone that I so stupidly bought yesterday. Even though it is "skinny cow" ice cream, I still can't just eat one.
2. Take a long walk today.
3. Get back on the plan. I was doing so well, but had 2 days with too much sugar, which is bad for me.
4. Work on cleaning the house today. A uncluttered, clean house makes a person feel so much better. I have been doing so much sewing (17 charity lap quilts done so far. But as a result, house work has suffered!
I just discovered a website called James Clear. I am going to start reading his free books - about changing your habits.
Oh my gosh! LOVE Skinny Cow ice cream, and I agree....one is NEVER enough! LOL!0 -
JFT, Monday, sept 14
1. CHANGE MY MINDSET. This is not a "all" or "nothing" diet. I started with just 1 buster bar, which led me to buy "skinny cow" icecream, and this weekend was awful. I believe I ate 4 skinny cows just yesterday. I know sugar is my downfall, but I have to change my mindset, or I will forever be going up and down with my weight, and not reach my goals.
2. This is a lifestyle change - not a diet!
3. drink water
4. Be thankful for my health, and take care of myself.0 -
J4T Monday
1. Walk 3 miles
2. Stick to calorie goal
