    @OConnell5483 Thank you! I've been doing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy because I was previously getting very stressed at work. It's really helped me to find ways of coping better - the goals don't always work but often do. I like to put mental health goals here as well as it's important for me in general, but also my mental state of mind highly influences what I end up eating!!!! :-)

    I enjoy reading your posts too, I like that you put kindness in them - I don't think I always remember to be kind and it's important! I think you talk to yourself in a similar way too - I also use capitals when I'm trying to be strict with myself....

    Yesterday didn't go quite so well, had a piece of cake that I wasn't planning to eat (the result of a bit of a game between me and my colleague where we kept on putting the cake back on the other's desk to get them to eat it rather than us - I lost...) however I pulled it back by eating less in the evening so in the end only went slightly over. Need to get better at resisting cake though!

    Commitments were -

    - Log everything I eat :/
    - No unhealthy snacks (remember that even small bites DO count and I haven't room for them) :/
    - No alcohol (remember this at networking event!) :) Made easier by not bothering to go to event....
    - Monitor what I'm eating at networking event; have one or two small bites only in order to... :| Not applicable
    - Stay within calories :| A little over
    - Eat small snack before networking event to enable the above! :| Not applicable
    - 30 + minute lunch break :)
    - Don't procrastinate - get key priorities done :| Ish.. was hard due to over running meetings
    - Listen to music to boost mood :| Actually chose not to for focus

    Today's commitments -


    - Log everything I eat
    - No unhealthy snacks - just some ryvita before part work drinks to keep me going
    - Lunch not to exceed 450 calories
    - drink g&t only at post work drinks
    - one water for every alcoholic drink
    - do not exceed calories by more than 200, ideally less

    - Get big report done by EOD - don't be all perfectionist about it, just get it done!
    - re evaluate priority list and consider what can delegate
    - Listen to music to boost mood

    Today, I began back again where I had worked so hard a year ago to accomplish. I am back 25 pounds heavier, have not ran in six months and feel terrible about myself. But today, I stepped on the treadmill, ran a little, drank my water goal, kept below my calories for the day and took care of me...

    Hi everyone! I've been away because I've been sassy....and well, just plain old lazy. Four days off work and I feel like I went into a zombie-like state...or maybe a slug would be a better word for it. I'm so mad at myself. I have to weigh in today and it will not be pretty. So embarrassing.

    Soooooooo, just for today/Tuesday:
    1. Pack my breakfast and lunch for work and stick to what I packed
    2. JOURNAL EVERY BITE
    3. Hydrate. This does not mean coffee...this means WATER.
    4. Get out and take a walk today at lunch time. Get out of the basement I work in and see the sun. Get away from colleagues and just rejuvenate.
    5. I will not listen or partake in office gossip today. I will walk away. Everyone has their own story and I really don't like listening to people judge others. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
    6. Earbuds in to tune out negativity in office if it starts again today. Kills my joy.
    7. Weigh in and take the advice without feeling defensive. I blew it. That's it.
    8. Gym tonight after work for 30 minutes activity, tanning and massage chair. (This is a maybe if I don't work too late).
    9. Go to bed one hour early to get some quiet time and write in gratitude journal and read a few chapters out of novel.

    Have a great day everyone! Hope it's a good one!
