So my goals for Wednesday are:

- Get to bed any time before 12 12.30
- Get up at 7.30 (Thursday AM) *sigh* see below
- Complete some more of my Bullet Journal book not today, cba
- TAKE THE RECYCLING BIN OUT! yes! Finally all that Christmas rubbish will be gone!!

So 7.30 was my goal to get up, I actually set my alarm for 8am.
But no worries there, my baby decided a heartburn strike at 5am was a good idea so here I am. Awake. Burning. With a pint of milk! Yay..
And I can’t get back to sleep because I’m “nesting” so I’m up anxiously thinking about everything I need to buy for baby.. which is everything. I’ve not got anything yet and I’m due in 8 weeks!

Might as well post some goals!

Thursday Goals
- Get up at 7.30-8am

already done.. at 5am
- No biscuits or crisps or anything snacky, need to get out of Christmas mode and eat 3 proper meals.
- Shopping day! See if I can sneak some baby stuff into the shopping

- Ask my partner AGAIN to go in the attic to see what baby stuff we have already
- Fill in some bullet Journal.

I’m sure there’s other stuff I need to do but can’t remember!

Have a good day everyone!

No worries @Bex953172 . You know those television shows where women didn't know they were pregnant until they were in labour? Well, my 30ish year old had absolutely zero pregnancy signs until she was 4 1/2 months into her first pregnancy. She still managed to get everything done before the baby arrived, including redoing the now nursery. You can do this too, one thing at a time. You know... JFT

Yesterday was a good day - managed nearly everything despite being in a potential overeating situation! (Pub drinks)

- 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

I forgot and only had one. Have to do better at this. It's so hard to start a habit!
- Stay within 250 kcals of target

Today's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks except Ryvita if hungry
- Be in the green (without eating back exercise kcals)
- Leave work by 5.30
- Do exercise DVD

Bex953172 · January 2018

It’s now 7.30 am. The time I originally wanted to get up and I’m finally tired enough to sleep! But my kids have just woken up, I can hear my eldest chatting to her sister.

Yay to motherhood!

Good luck everyone!!

Recap 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 = Fitbit 12,659 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) hours & 35 floors

3) Today is leftovers for lunch and supper / net calories green = Net calories, sodium & sugar all red, but not horrible

14c water (maybe I can flush calories away)

4) Update my reasons why & post = Done

5) Complete "2017 5 accomplishments" list & post = Done

6) Evening: make cranberry banana bread (food day in office R), wash dishes, go thru pile of mail = 3x done

7) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = 2x done

& big nope, more like 11:00

JFT T 1/4 - Back stiffened up on me after treadmill yesterday, so decided to rest it a little longer, because it is improving. At least the alarm got set for 6:30 a.m. instead of 5:30. Due to wind chills below zero (again

), workplace snowshoe hike at lunchtime has been canceled. Bummed. But that's probably a good thing for my back.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work (I have a desk job)
2) Almost forgot, it's food day in office for co-worker with Christmas birthday / be picky, eat small portions, do not eat everything and log best I can
3) Leftovers (healthy) for lunch and supper / net calories w/i 100 green
4) Evening; choir canceled due to water main break / use time to declutter or catch up something 30 min.
5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15

Sounds like a hot bath with salts, soothing candles and music is the ticket

With that chilly weather and sore back.....I'd gladly settle for a soak in the tub!!

You're doing great!! Don't push yourself too much, let yourself recover. Back issues are no joke. I hope you feel better soon.

PackerFanInGB · January 2018

Hi everyone. I listed my goals for today, last night. However, after really taking a good hard look at where I'm at mentally right now, I've decided to make different ones and start over with baby steps.

I think my willpower has crashed. I don't have the New Year's drive that I normally do. And it's evident in how I'm eating and sitting on my *kitten*. I have to wonder if I was in fight mode for so long in 2016 and 2017 because of all the stress going on that my brain just wants to rest and catch up with my new normal?

Just for Thursday:
1. Journal every bite honestly. Don't leave out one single Hershey kiss. Don't worry about staying in the green at this point, just get in the habit of tracking EVERY single bite.
2. Increase water intake. At least eight 8 oz glasses
3. Activity tonight. Even if it is 15 minutes. Get some.
4. Rewrite my Advantages Resource index cards from Day 1 of Beck Diet Solution.
5. Look at menu online for Margarita's restaurant where our boss is taking us for lunch today and pick something healthy.
6. Take one hour of "me" time today to rejuvenate by doing something I enjoy and find relaxing.

Good thing I have this thread....JUST FOR TODAY. Every single day is a new beginning and a new chance to get it right!

Have a great day!

@cschmitz110515 I agree with you about the weather here in Green Bay. It's crazy cold and I'm already sick of it!

veronicabhintz · January 2018

I love inspirational quotes!

" In 30 days.....you will thank yourself!

veronicabhintz · January 2018

Just for today I will love myself and stay within my calorie goal.

Thank you for the suggestions! I love the idea of a soothing hot soak, and I have the salts. Think tonight after my declutter burst, I will do that! My lower back has been my "Achilles heel" for a few years now. Just glad I am mobile and not in screaming pain, but I hate being so inactive now that I got myself in the habit of walking again.
