A very good day yesterday! probably not that surprising given it was day 1 of getting back on track and motivation was high - but it was a good start!
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks (at all)
- No alcohol
- Be in the green
- Go for a walk at lunch
- Take Beck diet actions for the day
Today will be harder as I'm going to the pub for drinks with friends after work. I've decided to eat a ready meal at work before I go, rather than eat pub food. This will help keep down the calories! It will be pretty hard to watch everyone else eating pub food but I will motivate myself (with my Response Cards!)
Today's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- Buy and eat ready meal before pub
- Buy healthy snack to eat after pub
- No other snacks
- Stick to planned alcohol consumption (2 G&T + 1 wine)
- Drink one water for every wine
- Stay within 250 kcals of target5 -
today:
think before speaking. take the time to think about what I say and what effect I want my words to have.6 -
Todays Commitment:
Get up again at 5am for another exercise session. = Done
Attend my fitness assessment - Done
Drink more water -
I think I drank about 1400ml I think I can do better
Make my job less of a priority. The past six months it has been a lot higher on the priority list. Family and health are now going to come first. I will leave the office on time and I will leave my computer at work rather than bring it home and work until late at night. Left on time and left the laptop in the office.
Tomorrows Commitment:
Get up again at 5am on go for a 5km walk
Go for to the gym and meet with the trainer to get the low down on the program they have come up with for me.
Drink more water, at least 2 liters
Come home from work on time and leave my laptop again at the office.5 -

I can't meet my goals if I don't post any so.....
Just For Today Stay in the green 10K+ steps Tender my resignation (sounds so much easier than it will be) so all work items thrown out of whack by someone else's fire. I am going to catch the boss as she walks in the door, before she goes off to meeting land Review leave accrual documentation Review GTL documentation Vacuum downstairs - got the whole house done and baths cleaned
Just For Today - Wednesday- Stay in green
- 10K steps ..... weather permitting
- Tender my resignation for real
- Look/review for carpet spot cleaners - anyone have recommendations? My cat with cancer is starting to upchuck with some frequency (not unusual with his illness)

So it’s 3pm here.
I’m in a bad temper today. Everything is getting on my nerves. Everyone’s being noisy and I can’t even think straight.
But despite that my eldest is back in nursery next week and getting up at 9am every day is not going to do me or the kids any good! So time to get back into a routine.
So my goals for Wednesday are:
- Get to bed any time before 12
- Get up at 7.30 (Thursday AM)
- Complete some more of my Bullet Journal book
- TAKE THE RECYCLING BIN OUT!5 -

- Drink three large bottles of water
- Run errands
- Work on my puzzle Finished
- Shovel the deck This may have been a lofty goal as it's -5 degrees out and there's at least a foot of snow
JFT January 3rd- Log all food and stay within calorie goal!
- Send out mail
- Put away laundry
- Drink four bottles of water
- Do some stretching and body weight exercises as I'm pretty sore today

Stay positive!! This has been a struggle lately bc society puts so much pressure on being the "perfect" pregnant woman,
I always gain weight everywhere!! (Not just my belly!) Yesterday my kiddos and I ate out while running errands and a waitress criticized me for eating a burger! I am willing to sacrifice my body for the health of my baby and he is above average for his gestational age!! Meaning he is a healthy little guy!! Luckily my hubby is there for me After I told him what happened, he said don't listen to selfish people, your pretty and he said he is very attracted to me!! That helps but society makes it hard to get out and run errands without stress over this. (I only eat burgers on rare occasions when I want to eat red meat. Usually I eat, turkey, chicken, salads, fruits, etc.)
Sorry for the rant!! I'm just going out shopping today and people just are not very nice sometimes. It brings me down a bit and it effects my ability to finish the day strong!! I need to be productive today and I really need people to leave me alone regarding my pregnancy. My doctors are happy, my hubby is happy and my baby is healthy

Wow. Way I’m feeling today I would of rammed my burger up her ar$e and then ordered another one!!
I must admit, you’ve dealt with your pregnancy with much more consideration than I have! And I admire you for it!
I mean my baby is healthy too but I know myself I could of done a lot better. I’ve not done one bit of exercise and ate anything and everything. All I’ve ate today is biscuits. That’s it.
Half a pack of Oreos and more biscuits when I got home and a packet of crisps.
I’m making a lamb stew for tea but maybe I should start using the salad I buy (and then later bin because it’s gone off) every week rather than pigging out.
I’m still in Christmas mode lol

I am completely on board with what @Bex953172 said. I am a very open person, I have a thick thick skin. But my lord, the way people feel that they can tell an absolute stranger what to do - especially when she will want a tip.
You got to wonder about people! You rant on!4 -
Recap T 1/2 - At work today, actually relieved food celebrations are over. Lower back still bothering me, so turned off 5:30 a.m. alarm and reset for 6:30, at least I got an extra hour of sleep. Not good for my intention to walk on treadmill starting New Year's Day.
1) Move hourly / stairs break at work = Since my phone is (apparently) still in the kitchen at home & I'm at work, reporting last Fitbit sync at 7:14 p.m. 6,936 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 27 floors.
2) Net calories green or w/i 100 = Net calories red 18, sodium & sugar both green, 14c water.
3) Make meatloaf and squash for supper = Done & yum!
4) Find my "reasons why" list from last year and update = "Finding" took a lot longer than I thought, started to think of updates / move to Wed.
5) List 5 accomplishments from 2017 = Like #4, started scratching out ideas / move to Wed.
6) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = Done / done / early & before 10
JFT W 1/3 - Lower back feeling better, easing myself back on treadmill. Hit snooze alarm at 5:30 a.m. at least 3 times, but up by 6 a.m. I am NOT a morning person.
1) Walked 2 miles on treadmill before work / 37:42 / back not great but ok
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) Today is leftovers for lunch and supper / net calories green
4) Update my reasons why & post
5) Complete "2017 5 accomplishments" list & post
6) Evening: make cranberry banana bread (food day in office tomorrow for co-worker with Christmas birthday), wash dishes, go thru pile of mail
7) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:152 -

I can relate! I live in Green Bay, WI, and last night's low temp was above zero, the first time in 10 days, according to the weatherman. 3 -

I have low thyroid too! It can be a right pain at times lol3 -
I must share that yesterday I had to think to myself only think about today over and over, as I was waking up at 4:45 to workout. I exercised for 30 minutes, and packed my meal prepped items: oat fridge, date and oat snack balls, and boiled eggs. I didn't get a chance to make my lunch meals, so I opted for a salad from our local deli. Today, I again woke up early and exercised, thinking to myself, I hate it as I'm doing it, but feel proud after I accomplish it and only think about today.
