Take a moment to be thankful that when my husband looked at me this morning and I asked him what he was thinking he said how beautiful I am.
Take a moment to be thankful that my daughter worked out with me last night because she supports me unconditionally.
So sweet! What a wonderful family you have - much to be grateful for!

Take care of my back. I think I slept a long time on my back last night and n ow my lower back is killing me. Easy walking, some stretching, painkiller and a hot bath when I get home are in order. Right now I'm just trying to keep it warm and supported while still trying to move around some, so I don't have it lock up from lack of motion. I didn't realize it was this bad when I left forwork this morning so I don't have any pain killers with me.

Those of you with chronic back problems, my hat is off to you for actually getting stuff done especially exercising as I'm barely functioning from the pain.
As one who has had back problems, I feel for you. There is nothing worse. Please take good care of yourself. Back spasms are the worse.

Yesterday I did SO much better. I think of what all of you wrote, and how this is baby steps. Like @bri170lb said, we need to commit to becoming healthy. I can commit to doing this for 1 day at a time! Last nite I drank a lot of water, and did not snack. I think once I have even a bowl of popcorn, it gets the craving started, and then I blow the entire day.
SO hoping everyone has a great day today! We can all do this -- we are important!
Glad you had a better day yesterday!0 -

I'm not "dieting". I'm changing my lifestyle so I can feel better, and if I lose weight in the meantime, well that's just the gravy on top!0 -
I've really had to struggle the past few days to stay under my calorie limit. I wrote the word "courage" on my hand where I would see it often. It's silly, but it has really helped me get through a difficult day today.
Last night I REALLY wanted to snack beyond my limit. I drank water and finished watching a movie. I feel like I accomplished a lot, just by toughing it out.
If I could do it last night, I'm know I can do it tonight too.0 -
Went for checkup with my doctor today. Lost 19lbs since I was there last Sept. Slow but sure wins the race(hokey, but true). One day at a time!0

J4T Wed 13/01
I have a group therapy thing today, 2nd week and I am so nervous. I totally binged after it last week so need to try not to do that today.
1. Plan todays food and stick to my calorie allowance
2. Go for a walk after the group and see if I can walk off the anxiety rather than eating it.
3. Work tonight after my dinner so I can make up my hours for work (lucky to work from home when I need to)
4. Be nice to myself and try to enjoy the session and speak to other people that are there.
sorry bit deep but that's my day and I have stuck close to my calorie goals for the past two days by doing this. First time in months x 0 -

Debmcfly, good for you for taking action! I too have just started meeting with a group & I have to say the first day or two after I was somewhat emotional but I knew I needed to be there. After my mind had a chance to reflect I'm already looking forward to the next meeting. I've shared some of my challenges with the JFT group & received support. It's a great group! Best wishes on this journey:)0 -

Log my food - Eh mixed results, breakfast and lunch but not dinner. this is rather normal but it still helps limit the mindless munching.

JFT Wednesday - Continue to take care of my back. My back is still sore but is feeling a lot better from yesterday. Transitioning motions (sitting to standing, standing to walking) are still kind of painful, but not too bad once I'm there. I'll do so laps at lunch in the hangar and maybe walk on the dreadmill some when I get home tonight. I'll also stretch out again and maybe take a bath again. I'm not really a bath person, but they have their place.
One thing this "injury" (really who gets hurt while sleeping?) has made me appreciate is my flexibility. It's always been there so I really do take it for granted and don't get it when people say they can't touch their toes.0 -
Tues, 1/12
1. DO NOT WEIGH myself. Being successful is not about the numbers on the scale
2. No sugar, low carbs
3. Drink water
4. Write in gratitude journal
5. Sew up 4 more chemo hats tonite Actually got 6 more chemo hats sewn
6. clean house
7. put meat in crockpot
Helped to have dinner ready in the crockpot, and drinking the water. Did OK again, except did have popcorn in the evening. But I took a small bowl, and then just drank my water to keep me from eating more stuff.
Wed
1. Dinner with a friend tonite, so try and eat light during the day
2. drink water
3. focus on positives in my life. Had a huge argument with my daughter last nite, so still upset about that. But I have to remember than no one asks for mental illness, and she is doing the best that she can - even though somethings are so hard to understand.

Congrats to you for sticking with it, and not going over. You have accomplished so much - you are my inspiration. Like you said, if you can do it one nite, you can do it another nite.0
