Yesterday:
Love this painting, it is beautiful. I think you should run an art therapy session on here. It will encourage people to do something different which will help to stop wanting to snack in between meals. How about starting a blog, I'm not sure how you do it or whether other people would be interested. Absolutely love your work.

There are so many rules, diet "aids", exercise fads, and theories that I have spent my entire adult life losing and regaining weight. Finally, at age 61, I have made a 'discovery' that suits me. Follow an eating plan that I like, don't go under or over my calories by too much each day. (I try to stick to 1200 per day). Do some strength training three times a week at least, do a moderate bash on my exercise bike for 45 minutes 4 times a week and remember, when I go off the rails, and I do now and then, that's life, I'm human, get back on the horse and never, ever be ashamed. So now I find I have lost 20kgs in 6 months (that's 44lbs) and I am actually not miserable. I do leave the fizzy drinks alone. I have also just finished watching a TVs program that ran an experiment on when to exercise - it seems that men should exercise before eating and women after eating - something to do with men having more muscle, women having more fat and each burning fat differently. Every little helps!0

And to make it worse cant exercise as suffering from minor slip disc.
But i have decided to restrict my calorie intake for which i need lot of support and motivation.
So just for today
Breakfast: egg white omlette and fruits
lunch: one bread, bowl of cooked veggies
snack: one orange
dinner: soup and veggies
But it certainly could be worse. If you were not here, making a really good effort, you would be even worse off a month from now!
AND Don't forget that weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exrecise. You can still put a good dent in that extra 4 pounds while you are healing!
Be sure to not eat too little. You don't want to set yourself up for a binge.
Keep going just one day at a time!

After a really awful few months of not being able to sleep, exercise go out - was diagnosed with Depression yesterday. However, going to be positive and use a good diet and exercise to help me out of this dark time.
Fresh air and exercise really do help with depression. While you are out take time to really enjoy the scenery, smile at the people you pass, and count your blessings. Try to think of your walks as a break from what ever pain you are dealing with.
I walked every day last year at this time, just starting with 15 minutes. After a couple of weeks, it became my own restful time and really helped pull me out of my black place.

Really good advice with regards to fresh air and walking to lift your mood. It is great exercise and you feel much better just looking at different scenery. I find if you pass someone and smile it usually ends up in delightful conversation.
I have started walking in the evening and want to continue to do this. I love the summertime, we are very fortunate to have lovely walks near the river which has spectacular scenery and wildlife.0 -

So, JFT
1. Eat a health breakfast of super grain porridge to get lots of B vits
2. Log all my food
3. Eat some fruit
4. Have a 30 min walk (huge target for me to get outside right now)
5. Forgive myself and think positively about future.
Amen to that!julie_zepeda wrote: »J4T Tuesday 1/5/15, first post.
1. stuck to my meal prep at work for break fast and lunch
2. logged all of my calories
3. ate healthy dinner; prelogged at work to manage intake
4. had healthy snacks when I felt hungry only after drinking water (just to be sure).
5. Came home from work and went straight to my workout (was going to head to the gym; but too many NYR people, so I opted for 21 day fix cardio DVD).
6. Thought positive about my plan, forgave myself for my mistakes in the past, taking it one day at a time.
See you tomorrow.
