@joan6630;Thank you for your message--(@Saragirl2 and @asclepsia -- so happy to see you back with us!! Missed you guys!) . I'm glad to be back, and like so many others, I look forward to getting on here as often as I can--I like the support and being held accountable. I helped my son and his wife's family in their newly-opened restaurant in Seattle, so not a lot of free time over the Christmas break.
Glad to be home and on my own schedule!5 -
@asclepsia i live in Seattle.. What is the name of their restaurant? I would love to stop by and support. Good luck on your goals this year!

Not posted for a couple of days! Weird how one bad nights sleep can throw you off for a few days!
Struggling atm because my partner can't sleep without me in the bed and then can't sleep with me in the bed!
And to be quite honest j just want to sleep undisturbed lol
But I switch between the sofa and bed all night.
This morning at 8am my eldest came down, poking my eyes. I got her a yoghurt and a banana and gave her my tablet and went back to sleep at 11am she was STILL on it!
Parenting at its best haha
Anyway saw this pic and thought of you all!

Hello I'm so happy to have found this. Thank you,
I've been unhealthy most of my adult life. This is the year I make healthy changes for me and my family.
I love the idea of being accountable. I started my journey on the first day of the New Year. First thing in the morning I drink a cup of warm water with 1/2 of a lemon juiced. It reminds me of the choices I'll make for the day.
I look forward to reading everyones blogs. It's so inspiring.
Happy New Year6 -

JFT, Saturday
1. log all food
2. be mindful of what I eat
3. look for and buy a new water bottle to see if that helps me in getting in my water! Thanks @MLHC1 for that suggestion! I looked in the grocery store, and they were like $27.00!! Is this how much a water bottle costs! Going to look in Walmart next week .... surely they have some that are less expensive!
4. work on menu plans for the week -- healthy, low calorie meals! GOT THIS DONE!! This was big for me, as I'm not a meal planner. Now .... to follow my plans!
5. go to the gym. NO more excuses!! And it was 5 degrees when I left the house this morning! BRRRRR! SO ready for spring!
JFT, SUnday
1. log all food
2. we are suppose to be getting freezing rain, ice, snow, so no gym tomorrow. Calling this my day of rest
3. mindful eating. Just because its the weekend, eat a planned lunch
4. work on business taxes. Too cold outside, so might as well get some of this done!
5. read my response cards to remind me of why I want to lose weight
6. eat while sitting
7. Read simple abundance ..... write down 5 things I am grateful for.
8. give myself credit for what I have done successfully ... focus on this, not on what I do wrong.
9. get back on here tomorrow nite .... be accountable
@Bex953172 --- LOVE the picture! Thanks for sharing that .... makes a person stop and think, especially when seeing results takes so long!
And I hope you are able to sleep better tonite! Thats so funny with your little one on the tablet till 11am! Our grandsons are the same way .... but hey..... sleep is important to you, so whatever works!!
@Tahoe2515 - welcome! You can do this .... but it is hard, and takes time. But you are worth it! I like the idea of lemon with warm water .... I should try that!

challenges and eliptical done3 -
Saturday report
10k steps so far 9.4 k, maybe 10k by bedtime
Log calories
Stay green, which is hard on a weekend. Right now 82 cal over, but that's not bad given I spent 12 hours today at a high school robotics competition with only junk food around to eat.
Eat more fruit. I brought and ate 1 banana and 2 clementines. Better than no fruit.
JFT Sunday
Grocery shop for exciting but healthy foods.
Make turkey chili
Log calories
Fast til noon
Exercise!

Met my goal today. I am within all my categories today. within oxalate count, within sodium count, within protein count, within fat count, within sugar count and I got 60 minutes of exercise today. I actually exceed my goals for today and I am delighted.6

Wal-mart does have the best prices for water bottles. I paid around $15 For mine and it is a nice one that double locks and is condensation free. I buy my kiddos water bottles from Academy though. Since they are kids, they tend to lose them so we buy the Academy brand water bottle for $3. They work well and only leak if you tighten them to tight.1 -

Jan 31 goal:
169. That's a 1.5 lb/week drop from a start of 175, which makes the math a little easier!
Goal for 1/8: 173.5. Today: 176.4. It is SO good to see those numbers coming down again! And AFAIK there are no celebrations planned with lots of food. Feeling pretty stoked about the possibility of real progress.
Oh! And I got my VERY FIRST COMMENT on my blog, Fake It 'Til You Make It. That was super exciting - actually I'm probably more excited about that than is really warranted, but darnit, I'm going to take whatever positives I can get today!

I love your blog!! Do you know if there is a way to "save" this so I can come back and read it more? Lots of good reading there!1 -

It does.. but it takes ALOT of milk. Like 2pints for it to settle lol!
Gaviscon works straight away, I already take medication for it which is supposed to stop acid production altogether but I must have forgotten to take them probably yesterday?
And today me and my partner shared some noodles which were so spicy!!! So probably why it feels like hell haha4 -
