Fell off the wagon somewhat, hence not being on here for a few days.... didn't want to admit to my bad behaviour!
Not sure why it happened except that my morale is quite low at the moment for various reasons and I think that lowered my willpower.
Picking myself up and starting again - just for today! (It probably is JFT as well as I'm going to France for a long weekend and I refuse to miss the opportunity to eat delicious French food. But I'll be back next week - i can't do much damage in 3 days right?!)

- Log everything I eat
- No snacks outside meals except Ryvita
- G&T only at pub
- Alternate alcoholic drinks and soft drinks
- Get out for walk at lunch

Happy Friday everyone!3 -

So I've logged in every day but not logged all my food or posted goals!
Having a pretty €rappy time tbh!
OH didn't get paid properly so we were left skint! No money for food!
We had some food in but would not last between 4 of us for another whole week!
So I was skipping breakfast and skipping lunch, surviving on tea and ryvitas and a bit of Easter chocolate.
I've lost 4lb, which I'm happy about but not happy about how it was achieved.
But I was gonna make sure my kids and OH ate before me!
Fortunately the money came in last night so I went out and got pizza and dough balls for me and OH! Yum!
Wow! That really stinks! Glad the money finally came through. I agree that it is really hard to lose the weight that way! Hope your spirits are also improved!2 -

You are very brave to chaperone the 8th grade band! Good luck with that one!3 -

Did tons of food prep yesterday, so I should be set for a while! I was able to fix my broken julienne slicer, which makes me extraordinarily happy. Matchstick veggies for all!
I am working on starting a new hobby (doing DJing for Latin dance) and it is sucking up WAY to much of my time and focus. It is also pretty sedentary. It has kind of been throwing me off track, but I think that I have it under control at this point.
Friday:
1. Track all food
2. under 75G carbs
3. 8+ freggies
4. work on garden planning
5. swim a mile

Recap R 4/20
1) Log everything, including 3 a.m. eating...need to focus on CICO and meal-planning again = yes, and I was especially conscious of everything I ate b/c of the candy. Have to say, I ate healthier all day, and total calories were about same as prior two days! But sugar was 2X what it should be.
2) Pack up all Easter candy and mixed nuts...if it's out of sight, I do so much better = yes
3) Floss = yes Day 3
4) I'm sure my long weekend off / late nights has something to do with my sleep being off now that I'm back to work, so bedtime by 10:15 no TV = 10:14 feel so much better the next morning!
JFT F 4/21
1) Be in the green (within 100 anyway) for calories and limit sugar
2) Participate in lunchtime plant identification hike at work
3) Walk dog after work
4) Floss
Hang in there, everyone, it's Friday!

JFT Sunday, exercise
Drink more water and do something productive
I have been in a 2lb gain and loose cycle for about 3 weeks. I need to get my mojo mindset back. Hopefully the good weather coming will motivate me. Swim suits are around the corner!5 -
Well, the not logging and being accountable is not going well. So here I am. I haven't completely lost my mind Exhausted and overwhelmed. House barely looks like I've made a dent. People just coming and going whether there is someone here or not. Feel so invaded. This too shall pass, and I know I will feel and be better for it. Somebody give me a match Dryer is out. Holy smokes the laundry!!! Gonna keep it simple.
Just for today: Sunday
Log
Can I do six glasses of water?
COUNT MY NUMEROUS BLESSINGS!!
Hope you all have been happy and healthy4 -

4. Do at least one thing that I enjoy today

6. Go to Stein's and get some flowers bulbs and plant a new patch of Daffodils and Hyacinths in the front yard (this actually could fall under #4. Two birds with one stone?)

I survived the eighth grade band trip! It was actually a great group of kids. About 80 kids total in this public school band. They got second place for performance in their division but they also won the award for best sportsmanship and best behavior. Each band gets judged by all the staff and judges of the competition from the moment they get off the bus at the competition to the moment they get back on the bus for how they act, treat others, respect they show to authority etc. Only one band gets this honored award out of all the schools at the competition. So proud of my daughter's band.
Ok bragging time is over.
How'd I do this weekend:
Friday : Over ate and hardly got any steps. I was on a bus or at the competition for most of the day.
Saturday: Had over 18,000 steps. Spent the day chaperoning the kids at a 6 flags theme park.
Sunday: Back home. Took a long nap. But I also got a 2 mile walk in. Beautiful weather, I had to take the dog for a walk.

20 minute exercise
Water 24 ounces

I'll admit that I'm off the wagon. I moved a lot this weekend. We built our garden at our new home, so lots of carrying, walking, raking, and digging. But, I also ate my way through the weekend and didn't log. This week I leave for a work trip tomorrow morning and won't get home until Saturday, where my MIL will be visiting until Monday. I'll try to keep posting, though!
JFT - Monday
- get house ready for MIL visit
- do something nice for DH for bday that I'll miss while gone this week
- cook dinner
- bedtime at 9:00
I realize there's nothing food-related here, but this all seems overwhelming enough!4 -
