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 x
Personally, I think 2 out of 3 is awesome! And exercise and water are just as important as the other. Give yourself a break! You did a heck of a lot better today than I did!!! For that matter, you did better than I did all week!

I haven't been doing so well with my nutrition this week. I'm disappointed in myself and feel like the exercise was all a waste. Everyday I say I'm going to start over and disregard the previous day's flub. I'm looking up new meal ideas so I won't derail when night time comes and the cravings start kicking in.6

The exercise was not a waste!
If you hadn’t exercised then it would of been a lot worse!!
It takes time to adjust to new habits!
But the key is to keep trying!
New meal ideas are a good idea
Is there any part of your nutrition you struggle with or is it just going over on the calories?4 -
A little late to the ball, but still wanted to log in.
Day 11: Accomplished everything on the list. I am really liking the No Eating After 8pm Reminder...something about writing it on here makes me try my hardest to stick with it.
Success: Woke up at 2am, and no more sleep for me. Tired and sluggish. Ignored the bike, wasn't feeling it at all. And then I thought, "I'll go over to the photos of success board and look around there." That inspired me! So I got up and got moving on my bike.
What I learned: As I was "spinning my wheels" today I thought, "I really like to wear dresses...but not at the weight I'm at...so as soon as I'm down 20 pounds I'm gonna buy a dress a week---even if I have to go to Savers thrift shop to do it!" I didn't even know I liked clothes that much! I think those feelings have been buried under layers of fluff for too many years... Another healthy journey benefit/bonus to look forward to!
JFT (and Saturday and Sunday) I will:
drink 6 glasses of water
I will complete one section of online program
stop eating before 8pm (this may actually be nearing habit status)
ride five miles on stationary bike
record food and water on MFP
I will have a NO REGRETS weekend!!!
I will welcome home my husband and shower him with attention and good cooking and a listening ear. (he flew out a week ago to care for his mother who needs to be in a nursing home and steadfastly refuses...he has given her a one month deadline to get stronger so she can dress and prepare meals for herself---no doubt he's bringing home lots of mental, emotional stress and physical fatigue).
Y'all have a mindful and joyful weekend! I hope we all can continue our daily goals over the next two days.---recording, drinking (um, water, lol), and getting some exercise in so we don't wake up groaning Monday, "Why did I eat the WHOLE thing??!!"6 -
Today
Drink the water
Walk the steps
Count the calories
Do the meditation...not yet, but the night is young.
JFT for Saturday
Drink the water
Walk the steps (10k)
Count the calories (keep it under goal)
Do the meditation (10 minutes at least)
The thing about the meditation, its either my dog or my husband that always manages to make me distracted enough to where I don't quite feel like I'm "doing it right".5 -
Report 1/19
Log I tried, but dinner out was tapas so too hard.
Pack healthy lunch since I’m meeting friends for lunch.
Walk between meetings
Moderate dinner, as Friday nights I like to go out to eat.
Definitely not moderate, as I met a girlfriend for dinner. But we both deserved some girlfriend time, so I’m not going to feel guilty about it.
Fast til noon today was hard, so I’m glad I made it.
Wrap birthday presents. Gotta do it tonight.
Bring home stuff to read for work. Brought it, but will I read it.
JFT 1/20
Tomorrow is my daughters birthday so calories will be hard. Can’t fast, since she wants breakfast together.
Log
Exercise
Enjoy bday events.

I went back to work today, school cafeteria, and we had a new weight loss challenge. Just when I needed it so I didn't binge today and only 11/2 pieces of candy. Big goal for me. I didn't make the treadmill today but will soon.8

Don't beat yourself up. You have made the first steps of admitting and each day will get better.5 -

Thank you so much - I need to stop being hard on myself I guess. So so much of this is about mindset isn’t it? Not just viewing everything as “good” or “bad”. Keep trucking on and making sure we take time to enjoy life!
So JFT:
Enjoy the weekend!
Get a bit of exercise
Get a bit of rest
Who is with me?
Am up early to tick off number two on the list - hope you all have a fab Saturday xx5 -

Okay so Marley is a lot worse today!
Getting the jet washer today so was hoping to do the garden but looks like Marley will need watching all day. She’s definitely got it worse than Saskia, it’s all over!. Think oat baths all day and cream will help.
She’s just trying to pick at the spots and although she doesn’t throw an almighty tantrum, she keeps trying to do it over and over again where at least my eldest stopped when told to!
Poor kid!
So no goals today just looking after the poorly!6 -

Exercise is never a waste! If you are having lots of food cravings at night, try to get more protein during the day. I find that it curbs cravings. Also, make lunch your biggest meal. I think sometimes we try to save our calories for treats, but then we haven't eaten enough during the day (it happens to me). Then we are ravenous come dinner/night-time. Oh, and isn't this feed all about starting over - Just For Today? You got this 5 -

JFT:
1. Drink 2L of water - crushed it
2. Resist one temptation to eat junk food- resisted it several times
3. Log as much food as I can - logged only one food item, so this was not really accomplished.
4. Do at least five minutes of exercise - I did not accomplish.
By the end of the week, I would like to be down one pound. - I was down .9 lbs!
For today, I know I'm going to be doing lots of walking, so my only goals are:
1. Drinking 2L of water
2. Logging at much food as I can7 -
Wow! Lots of posts! Struggled with some motivation this week, but had some successes too. Logged all my food, stayed in the green, and the weight is going down! Did pretty good with the water. Did not do my decluttering tasks at all.
It has been on the chilly side here, and I detest going out in it. Normally, 10000 steps is fairly obtainable on the daily, but I have been struggling with that.
Just for today: Sat 1/20
Drink my 8 glasses of water
Stretch
Get rid of at least 3 things in my kitchen I never use!!
Stay motivated
Stay positive
Have a great day everyone!6 -
