1. 17,000 Steps
2. log everything on MFP Yes, and my weight is up too I want to pretend it is a daily fluctuation but lets be honest it is probably all the Oreos I didn't log
I LOVE Oreos. I have no self control around them...it's so bad, I can't have them in the house. I'll eat half the package in one go.2 -

Day 13
Got all my logging, drinking, exercising in but no online lesson, journaling, or reviewing. So, those items remain on the front burner. Quit eating at 8:15
JFT
I will pre-log as much as possible
I will not get the avocado dressing from CFA but will be content with lime vinaigrette.
I will ride my stationary bike 5 miles
I will spend time stretching
I will complete online lesson plan
I will journal
I will drink 6.5 glasses of water before 7pm
I will quit eating by 8pm
What I am learning: I am wanting to take every bite of food captive. Before I take a bite I want to consider the costs involved and if it is a benefit or an impediment in reaching my goal. I want to stop aimlessly eating my food--but to instead truly savor and enjoy every bite. I am tired of being a slave to food.3 -

Steam room is always good! Sweat out them toxins! When you say “Swam 700” what does that mean lol 700 what?
I miss swimming so much!
Also I’m so sorry about your uncle! It’s awful losing someone. You just try your best today and take it easy!JFY

I also love Oreos haha
I think I had a pack of every kind by Christmas, mint, strawberry, double cream, original, peanut? (The peanut ones are still in the cupboard, can’t tell if I want them or not!)
Also @toaljasa
How the heck are you getting 17000 steps?!

Recently, although I don’t post any health related goals I have really been improving on things!
I now walk a lot more, rather than driving to the shop that’s literally 2 mins down the road and to the chemist which is 5 mins I walk instead
I *would* walk to nursery and back but it’s been raining most the time and although I don’t mind the rain I’d hate for my kids to get soaked.
I’ve managed to drop from 40mg of anti depressant to 20mg which is the lowest dose! So far so good!
My partner said my mood has been more temperamental but I’m still doing all the things I need to and more so he doesn’t think it’s depression (because I do nothing when I’m depressed lol) just hormones haha and tbh I agree. Fed up now. Tired and want baby out out out.
And for some reason. Glasses in our house won’t last longer than a year. I swear every year we buy a new set of glasses to replace (what’s left) of the previous set. We just break them all the time!
Anyway, we have pint glasses, medium sizedish glasses and some really nice thin tall glasses (they hold about 200ml)
Anyway I love it! I’ve been drinking so much more water! It’s just he right amount!
I always have about 5 of these glasses a day and pint with my tea.
I don’t know whether it’s to do with the glass or because my body needs more water because of the baby but either way!
My intake is on the up and I’m enjoying it

1/19 Friday JFT:
Well yesterday was unusual. ...I was verbally attacked by an older man who yelled at me for parking where I did. ...I finally just got in my vehicle and drove away.... as I began to drive away, I started crying!! .... The man clearly saw I'm 6 months pregnant, with a sick child and his little brother but he still felt the need to yell at me until I drove away.
What.A.Jerk.
So sorry you had to endure that and its after effects.
You and @Bex953172 have had interesting times with these pregnancies. Just wait until the time comes when you will have all these funny stories.

I wanted to share this as I'm hoping it will add to my motivation...
My WHY
My son took my photo while eating pancakes & bacon on Christmas morning with family. It's the worst photo I've seen of myself! Time to take control of this situation was what went through my head when I saw it. I may print a copy to keep on my fridge for motivation. Also, assorted aches, pains and low energy due to the extra weight. Need to shed about 50lbs. I'm also aware of how people who've known me for years will treat me differently now. It's rather sad. But I intend to make healthy changes.This would be my reason also! I also am usually the one taking pictures. I lost 25 pounds last year, and thought if I can just lose another 20 I will be OK. But after seeing the picture my husband took (and a full lenght one!), I feel I need to really lose more like 35. But ... its one pound at a time. I know you can do it. Sometimes we all need reminders. I think posting the picture where you can see it is a good visual reminder
Remember all that while we may hate our own pictures, to others the pictures show the you they know. Your loved ones aren't seeing all your flaws, weight, etc. Make sure you are in some the pictures of your events. In the future everyone (else) will wonder where you are if you step out of the frame all the time. And if - God forbid - you died, it is a consolation to see the pictures of people we love.

On the positive side, I absolutely NAILED my scenes last night. If they go at least that well throughout the run of the play, I'm going to donate $100 to the Rescue Mission (food bank / shelter).
