Continued to resist rice crispy treats still a few steps away from my desk.
When I got to the gym and my (small) gym had both recumbent bikes in use I left and then after going home, eating dinner, going to the store because we were out of cat food, actually went back to the gym and in this bitter cold weather.
I did buy a little bit of chocolate at the store but only ate half of it when I got back from the gym.
Probably with a little snacking during making dinner and the chocolate I went over my calories but not by much.
JFT:
1. Log all food; stay under calorie goal for the day
2. Do weights and cardio at the gym on the way home
3. Finish grocery list and put in online order to be picked up tomorrow
4. Attend webinar at work
Happy Thursday.
Did everything listed except for didn't do weights at the gym- I like to do the bikes and they were free when I got there so I thought if I didn't hop on them right away (I generally do weights before cardio) then I wouldn't get them, and after that I just went home. The gym has been very busy lately (January resolutions?) and so I kind of shy away from doing weights when there are a lot of people around. Also didn't finish grocery list because I thought we could probably make it through the weekend without going to the store- husband whines when he has to go there in rush hour on the way home.
So, JFT:
1. Log everything- stay under goal even if I have a treat
2. Go to the gym on the way home AND do weights -- gym tends to be a bit quieter in general on Fridays
3. Finish grocery list and meal plan for the next couple of weeks
4. Stop and pick up a couple of items to get us through the weekend groceries (We live in a small town so we have to head out of town to do large grocery trips)
Happy Friday!5 -

Round 2 of chicken pox.
Yippee for me.
Hope Marley deals with it a bit better, saying that she is a massive drama queen for an 18m old!
I am so sorry to hear you have to go through another round of that! At least you've had recent practice.
A little off topic but what is the relationship between shingles and getting the chickenpox vaccine? Do they use the chickenpox vaccine in the UK? Pediatricians in the u.s. push it pretty hard. I'm not against vaccinations by the way. If I as an adult get the shingles vaccine but I had chickenpox as a kid is the shingles vaccine the same as the chickenpox vaccine? So many questions...1 -
I am out of control. Today is the day to take that back. I stepped on the scale today. The only way I know to reset my brain is to post my weight to you all. I don't ever so this out of fear, but here it goes. I weighed 194.4. I am 5'3" and my mom died with cancer and congestive heart failure that she hid from us in 2015. I don't want to end up that way, so I am leaning on you guys for accountability and thank you in advance.
This is the place to be - everyone is so helpful and supportive! You are doing the right thing by putting your health and well-being first. Wishing you all the best - we are here for you!5 -

Log all food eaten
Meditate for 10 minutes

Weekly weigh in I did weigh in yesterday, but then I had such a good food day that I wondered if I had lost any weight, so I weighed in again this morning. I am trying to just weigh myself once a week...

@Bex953172 what did the dr say?
Not been yet! I had to change it to a telephone call because my youngest got chicken pox and her temperature has just shot up now so can’t take her with me. She’s just been on the sofa for the last 2 hours. So they’re gonna ring me later!2 -
This is great! JFT will be my new mantra. Can do anything just for one day.5

Recap R 1/18 - Non-treadmill day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 12,567 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 32 floors
2) Workplace snowshoe hike at lunch, not sure there is enough snow after big melt last week = Kip, our fearless leader, gave us choice to wear snowshoes or not. I elected not, so glad I did, because true to form, Kip took us off-trail through woods and brush. With little snow, those with snowshoes on struggled. Great to be outdoors in fresh air, such a nice break in the workday!
3) Brought lunch to work & meals/snacks planned out / net calories green = Net calories red, sodium & sugar green, fiber 25g & 13c water
4) Evening: choir, Target, gas in car, at least 1 item on to-do list = 3x done + got banking records caught up (finally), but later than I wanted AGAIN
5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = Done / done / nope (see #4) and that led to no treadmill on Fri a.m.
JFT F 1/19 - slept instead of treadmill before work
1) Be gentle w/ myself...doing the best I can this moment is success...don't let latest work issue get to me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories green
4) Evening: either work out or pack up rest of Christmas decorations + at least 1 thing on to-do list
5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15
Sat. not sure when I can log. Have 4 hr (round trip) by car to funeral (93yo 2nd cousin) / luncheon / family visit. Will be difficult to drink enough water, and will be best-guessing food. Maybe log in evening?6 -

Scale goals
Dec 1 weigh-in: 176.6
End of 2017: 174.6
Jan 31 goal - PREVIOUS: 169. That's a 1.5 lb/week drop from a start of 175, which makes the math a little easier!
Jan 31 goal - REVISED: 172. *sigh*
Goal for 1/22: 175. Today: 178. I'm also cutting back on some of my other plans. No piano practice until at LEAST we're done with tech week - I haven't done any in ages, and I'm not even going to include it on my to-do list.

Sooooo they said it’s probably due to my baby taking up so much room and the reason it’s worse some days will be her position (most likely)
And just suggested tablets for indigestion and see how I go in a week or so! And if not come in so she can see me properly.
That’s as much as she could do over the phone really!
I also had to cancel midwife today because of her CP. taking her to a children’s centre is not the best idea lol!
Marley seems to be doing okay, but the worst of it will probably be tonight/tomorrow when all the spots are blisters.
My main concern is I opened her nappy before and it’s just spread like wild down there.
My eldest didn’t get it from the waist down so for her to have it in her nappy area it must be so uncomfortable.
I think maybe plenty of baths to keep her clean will help because she didn’t like the wipes on it. And I’ve been putting the cream on
Poor thing!
At least once it’s done that’s it then! Never again for either of them!7 -
there will be no yoga for me after work today. there will be a nap.5

@toaljasa I hadn’t thought of that. It could be that, or the increase amount of exercise, or only getting 6 hours of sleep a night. Although 2 times this week I got 8 hours of sleep.
@junodog I believe they are 2 different vaccinations. I do know that your chances of getting shingles increases if you have had chicken pox. You can also get chicken pox again, if you were really young, or had a very mild case.
@bex953172 Yikes another case. At least it isn’t after the little one was born. I got CP when I was 3 weeks old. My big sister brought them home. Lots of baths sound good. My kids always love bath time.

Accountability bringing me back here but I don’t feel very positive. Just three goals for today but missed the most important one
Exercise - yep
Water - yep
Calorie goal - sigh
But I guess the main thing is to remember I’ve hit fitness goals all week - exercise and loads of steps, generally eaten well and managed some big work challenges. Tomorrow is another day, right?
Have a good night all x5 -
slittlemeister wrote: »@joan6630 Yeah, I've struggled with the cards as well. I struggle to find time to remember to read them! I have notifications on my phone to remind me, but the problem is I have quite a lot of notifications and when I'm busy at work I don't even look at my phone and then come back to find 20 notifications....!
There are some bits I've found really helpful though. There's a day where you skip lunch to let yourself realise what hunger is like and that it's not that terrible. Since then, I've been much better at putting up with hunger and not doing preventative snacking!
She also gets you to plan your day's eating in advance and then stick to it, no matter what. This has helped a lot, but I'm struggling with the fact that you're meant to never change your mind and deviate from it ever. Sometimes I just want to eat something different! Though I recognise that when you do that 'something different' generally means 'something fattening'.... So I'm considering allowing myself to deviate 1-2 times per week, but no more?
Recommend persevering though - there's a lot of good stuff in it!
I have been struggling with reading the book actually. I have found myself going to bed and reading mysteries instead of reading what I "should" be reading! I really need to take some time and get my priorities straight. and this is one of them. This weekend, I plan to really take some ME time to think about my journey last year, what was accomplished and what was not, and then decide on a real plan for 2018. Flying by the seat of my pants every day isn't exactly working out so well for me! LMAO!
I do actually read the index cards to remind myself of why I want to lose. I have a few of them scattered around. I even use them as bookmarks so I run across them at the oddest times! LOL
Earlier this week, I found another version of the Beck Diet book (can't remember title right now) and downloaded it the other day for $1.99 on Amazon. I'll let you know if it is any good!
I'm glad to hear you are doing so well with at least reading it and getting ideas, @slittlemeister . gives me hope that I will too!
