Late getting on here again. This time of year, things are so busy. But ... after having a bad week with 2 nites of binging, I got back on track. So that, to me, it a success. We all have steps backwards, but a successful week is if we get right back on track.
I am down .6 lb. Not much, but since the first of the year, I am down almost 4 lbs. At at age 65, I'll take that. So one day at a time .....
Since it is late, for the remainder of today:
1. drink water
2. no snacks. I'm not hungry -- I am just thirsty
3. write out "to do" list for tomorrow so I can sleep better
4. get some sewing done
5. count my many blessings instead of my troubles2 -
Daily Habits Goal:
- 30 min workout in morning
- Write/Journal 30 min a day
- Meditate 20 min a day
- Yoga every day
- 7-8 hours sleep a night
Goals for this week:
- In bed by 9pm
- 30 min physical activity a day
- Reduce caffeine consumption and try out alternatives
-

I fell off for a few days so here's my catchup
1/20/17 - Friday
I was feeling really down the day before so I started writing and sketching and trying to find a way out. It was really nice outside so I took a walk that ended up into a run. Really turned things around that day. I ended up hanging out with a couple close friends and stayed up all night drawing on rocks and making jokes. It was just what I needed. So took some time off to have fun and shake off the stress.
1/21/17 - Saturday
Very tired out from the night before so I took this as a rest day. Mostly stayed in bed sleeping, watching movies and hanging out with my boyfriend.
1/22/17 - Sunday
Took this day off too. Still really sore from the week before with starting to workout again. So I took more time off to recover. I got some cleaning in and was a bit more active but still took it easy.
1/23/17 - Monday
Focusing on sleeping more and resting up for work. I took a LONG walk at lunch and talked to a close friend of mine that is going though some rough things in her life. It was nice to reconnect. Since I am so tired and worn out and on the path to being depressed again I figured it was a good idea to connect to friends and get a different perspective on it all. It is definitely helping!
1/24/17 - Tuesday Goals
- Get in bed by 9pm
- Take a long walk at lunch
- Focus on drinking enough water1 -
Gosh I miss you guys when I get too busy to post! Just wanted to say hi, and I will log on later to post my goals for tomorrow.
Have a great evening!1 -
Just for today: enjoy focusing on where I am on the long road rather than the destination.2
-
J4T - Wednesday
1. Stick to food plan and journal every bite
2. Hydrate with WATER
3. Make a task list and focus on checking off each task as I complete it at work. Don't stress, just focus and work smart
4. Take a walk or two outside to get a break from office. Deep breaths. Maybe even take a real lunch break?
5. Celebrate my 5 year cancer-free anniversary after my Oncology appointment! Perhaps ask my husband to take me out for dinner?
6. Add 100 steps to yesterday's Fit Bit steps, and 30 minutes of activity
7. Meditate 15 minutes
8. Bed an hour early and read
Have a GREAT day!1 -

Daily Habits Goal:
- 30 min workout in morning
- Write/Journal 30 min a day
- Meditate 20 min a day
- Yoga every day
- 7-8 hours sleep a night
Goals for this week:

1/25/17 - Wednesday Goals
- Drink at least one cup of tea after coffee
- Keep dinner simple and easy and healthy
- Practice meditation throughout the day
- Focus on yoga stretches
Yesterday was one of my really good days. I didn't get that much exercise in but ate a ton of delicious and protein filled food. I haven't been eating that much lately and was hungry all the time so I am in a state of rest and restoration. This is usually when I drop off so I am staying self aware of the need to rest but also that I tend to stay in this rest state and not want to exercise at all anymore! so I am going to move just a little. It might be a good time to start doing yoga again and make that part of my daily practice. That way I can restore and stretch until I am ready to move faster and get some cardio. Meditation is helping so much! I am going to keep that up with more sessions through the day. My anxiety has gone way down and I am sleeping so much better. I am able to focus and not let things get to me. I am also realizing that people ARE as annoying as I think they are I just can't let that get to me.

Sat. talked into attending hubby's family holiday party - at least I didn't feel like eating much with my cold.
Sun. slept until 11:30 a.m. which is REALLY late for me. Guess my body needed the rest. Took it easy the rest of the day, and had pizza for supper (too tired to cook).
Mon. & Tues. no daily goals - managed to get through work barely, especially Mon. Canceled dinner plans with friend (again). Skipped out on Tues. lunchtime hike (again).

Great to see you guys back! I think this is a busy time of year for everyone.
We are busy working on taxes, year end stuff, plus just business in general. January is always a hectic time.
But ... on the good side, I have been getting to the gym in the mornings. I am finding I love it, and it is a great way to start my day. Granted .... I work out of my home ... so I don't have to get up at 4am to do this like many of you do!
The past 2 days have been very stressful, not only with work, but with problems with our daughter, who has severe mental illness. When she does poorly, so do I. Now she is having health problems because of all the medications - both in vision, and general health.
So what do I do --- I eat for comfort. My husband and I were talking about this. He drinks too much wine when he is under stress --- I grab comfort, junk food. It is a cycle I HAVE to stop, yet the hardest for me to stop. And then, for 2 days afterwards, I feel awful. So why do I keep doing this!!!
so JFT,
Ways I will handle stress:
1. exercise. If I can't get outside, or to the gym, do small things here - even 5 minutes at a time
2. drink water
3. start to journal. Write down my feelings, instead of eating them.
4. stay busy. Even though I sew, I manage to eat while I sew. So do something more physical, like cleaning out the closet, scrubbing floors, anything to get past that moment when I want to grab food.
My goals for January was to be at 210 lbs. I am now at 213.6 lbs (started at 217). Not sure if I will make that goal, but I am sure going to try!!

Hope to feel better soon! Seems this sickness is hitting a lot of people. I had it right after new Years, and seemed it hung on for a week. Thats your body telling you to take it easy, and get better!2 -

We all have to remember that feeling when we have a really good day! Self awareness is such a important thing! Thank you for sharing! I am so happy you are doing better! Proud of you!
