Well, didn't do so well yesterday on the food front, but did pretty good on the emotional front, so that's a win of a different kind I guess!

weds, 9/21
1.drink water
2. drink water
3. drink water
Trying again today. Why is it so hard for me to remember to drink water.
But - one thing I am reminding myself everyday now, and it is helping. My hubby and I had our physicals last week. I got the Summary Report from my doctor. He wrote in there that I was "overweight, borderline OBESE". That did it. Now everytime I want to eat, I think of that word "obese"!.
So JFT, Thrusday, 9/22
1. Get out of the Obese weight.
2. drink water
3. stay focused. I did not gain this weight overnite, and it will take time. Just concentrate on eating healthy, and exercising.
4. stressful day today with out mentally ill daughter. More reports to fill out for disability, which causes emotional pain and stress. Try not to grab food to make myself feel better - because food will not make this go away. Think positive, as things could always be worse.
5. DRINK WATER0 -

So sorry for what you are going through with your mother. But happy you were able to focus on the positives in your life! I call that a successful day.

There was disappointingly little mountain biking though, and I ended up with every afternoon free and basically sat around eating. And then I tried all the sweet pastries available in Portugal...
First day back yesterday was then also utterly disastrous, so I am hoping you guys can help me get back on track. At least just for today. I need some encouragement - please help!
JFT 20.9.16
- only 1 bread roll and piece of fruit for breakfast
- no snacking between breakfast & lunch
- take a sensible lunch packet
- no snack except fruit and/or yogurt in the afternoon
- sensible, healthy dinner, no dessert
- track all food here
Sorry your holiday went wrong, but I'm sure you can get back on track. I see you listed your proposed meals, but what about some more biking, even if it isn't mountain biking. The calories out, matter just as much as the calories in.1 -
Ok. So I feel like a complete idiot for not exercising today. I only had 2 goals!
So. I just cleaned the ironing board and laundry off my treadmill and I am going to walk at least 15 minutes.1 -

Yesterday's commitments -
- no unhealthy snacks Caved and had a donut. I don't even know why, other than boredom?! One of the downsides of suddenly having less to do at work after months of stress... boredom eating! Have to watch out for that...
- stay within calories, with c. 400 deficit (i.e. do not eat back run calories) Only -200, due to aforementioned donut.....
- no alcohol
- run to work
- take a 30+ min lunch break, ideally outside
- watch out for signs of getting angry or stressed and stop myself from reacting (time out/ relax / challenge thoughts) Wasn't too bad on this, but was slightly snappy at my manager at one point - need to be better at this one. Seem to have got into a habit of snapping too quickly.
Today's commitments -
- no unhealthy snacks
- go to gym after work
- stay within calories, with c. 500 deficit (i.e. do not eat back gym calories)
- no alcohol
- take a 30+ min lunch break OR do yoga at lunch
- watch out for signs of getting angry or stressed and stop myself from reacting (time out/ relax / challenge thoughts)1 -
Drink 3 bottles of water by supper time
Second walk in evening to park
Stay on course for busy day & weekend.
No eating on account of stress
Keep fruit with me in car today.
Preplan workouts next week.
