A good day today. To be fair my goals were minimal but have hit them all plus tackled a mountain of laundry and made two cakes for my mum’s birthday lunch tomorrow. And eaten sensibly. Yay!
Recap today:
- exercise before kids get up - no excuse as steps will be lower without work ✅
- 10k step aim ✅ took some extra pacing around the house but just made it!
- Lots of water to counteract Friday night! ✅
- rest ✅ went out for a nice dinner with family and got a chance to sit still for a couple of hours
JFtomo:
- exercise early
- 10k step aim
- Water
- Stay in calorie goal (will be the toughest one)3 -
So I probably just did a dumb thing but I dont think it will be too bad. Lol. I just spent an hour at the gym working really hard. On my way to my car, I got this terrible hankering for chocolate. I thought, 'Hey dont I go get a Hershey bar and only eat half!' And then I thought, 'Why not get ice cream? It's a crappy day out and the DH isn't home so he won't know. Hey, Wawa has Halo Top! Sure it's incredibly expensive and will use a lot of my blow money but why not. I'll only eat half!" So I went and got it because it was KINDA on my way home. And I just ate the ENTIRE THING! I'm not usually one to eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting. Even before I started watching my weight. Well, that kind of went out the window. It's only 320 calories for the whole pint but I gave into a severe craving after a terrible night food-wise last night. And I burned enough calories at the gym that I have more calories then I started with even with the halo top. So I dont know why I feel guilty, but I do!3

JFT is helping me so much, just to take it day by day and be mindful each day of what is important and to just try hard for this one day.
1) drink water every hour - today's priority as I am feeling quite bloated
2) write up my new Band Gobi Mater recipe
3) try the chickpeas patties recipe as a side with the band gobi
4) commit now to alcohol-free February - it's been easy and beneficial
5) Log EVERYTHING
Stay on making healthy choices and don't let the number rule your move. It's an overall downward trend.5 -

1. Laundry And it's folded and put away!
2. Cook chicken Done. It's all shredded and put in the fridge. Soaking the Crock as we speak!
3. Log all that I eat Even the two pieces of cinnamon sugar toast I ate on a whim. Lol
4. Gym/shower Gym is done! About to take the shower!
5. Lunch for me and DH Done. He ate one of the wraps I had made for him earlier in the week and stored in the fridge and I finished my egg salad. Lol
6. Make DH food to take to work Did this as well. Although I forgot to put any kind of fruit in it because I was in a rush.
7. Clean up kitchenette Pretty much. I had dishes drying in the rack but I keep a towel under it so that it doesn't leak and I will change that out tomorrow when they are all dried and put away.
8. Free write for 15 minutes I will keep this on my list until I actually succeed in doing it!
9. Read I started a new book on writing essentials in the 21st century. It goes into grammar and punctuation and things. It's actually really informative. It's been a long time since I learned punctuation and grammar in elementary school. A refresher is very nice!
10. Try on clothes for the interview on Monday They seem to fit okay. I just hope I dont look too stuffy because it really isn't my style! Maybe I'll post a picture of me in them tomorrow
Today was really nice and laid back. My body is a bit sore but I'm kind of enjoying it. I cant sit too far forward because my abs hurt so badly. Lol. But everything is pretty much done. I'm just waiting for the DH to get home, which should be in the next like half hour. I'm about to pass out sitting here typing this though, so I dont think I'll be much for very long after he gets home. Lol. So onto my list, which will probably be very short.
JFT, 2/11/18
1. Log all that I eat!

Got my stuff done yesterday (including taxes- just had to bite the bullet and it wasn't as bad as I thought). Did day 3 of week 2 and I'm thinking I will need to repeat week 2 of c25k because I'm definitely not ready for 3 minutes of running during week 3. I probably went a bit over on calories yesterday eating popcorn.
So JFT:
1. Log everything and stay in the green (had a small piece of birthday cake this morning but I bought a miniature cake so hope it disappears from the house fast)
2. Sunday is usually a rest day but I might go walk the school halls with husband
3. I was going to church today but we are getting a bunch of freezing rain and accumulating ice so maybe I won't try to drive 30 minutes away
4. Clean my house and finish laundry
5. Maybe I'll do a painting later
6. Stay away from high sodium foods as tomorrow is official weigh in day and sodium can mask weight loss
Happy Sunday!4 -
@joan6630 I love the hats! What a wonderful thing to do.
JFY (Saturday, 2/10/18)
1. Drink 8 glasses of water
2. Log all my food
3. Be "in the green" with my calories for the day
4. Shovel driveway AGAIN (Is it Spring yet?!?!)

Re: eatthismuch.com
so, I looked around the website a bit and found that it is a paid service, it does have a free account option but with limited features which don't appeal to me enough to sign up for it.
However, someone else might be interested
From the site: https://www.eatthismuch.com/how-to/Eat This Much is a free service with additional features that you can unlock by subscribing.
For free, you can use the single-day diet planner with no restrictions. You can follow any kind of diet you like, block stuff you don't like, create/save as many foods and recipes as you want, and customize the nutrition targets down to the gram. If you end up eating something that isn’t on the plan, you can simply remove the suggested foods and add what you did eat, and then regenerate the remaining meals.
There is also a free trial version for the premium service but you need to supply your credit card details to sign up for it, I can't say that is something I'm ever in to
Ah, well.4 -
So church is out this morning. We woke up to torrential downpours. We got to the end of our quarter-mile long dirt driveway and looked out onto the street and realized that there was no way we were going to make it to the church 20 minutes away. So I turned around and in the 5 minutes it took to discuss whether to go or not, the driveway had flooded, like dangerous to my car flooded. We ended up making it home okay but holy crow! And of course, twenty minutes after we got back into the house the rain let up a bit but the driveway is still too flooded to go back out. So there goes that idea. Lol. Makes me sad because I had been enjoying it the last few weeks and the DH finally had a Sunday off and wanted to go as well. Blah! Not cool rain, not cool!5

LOL - Never really been on social media sites before and could not find the JFT thread for many days. Oh well, they say it is good to learn new things. Thanks for recommending the Beck Diet Solution. I got a copy from the library and was so impressed, that I ordered my own copy from Amazon. I think this what I have been searching for! I continue to be stopped by my sabotaging thoughts. Hopefully, this will help me change my thinking.
JFT
Get caught up on laundry (broken washer for many days)
Log my food as I eat, not at the end of the day
Drink more water
Put together food plan for next week.
Play with my Grandson

Todays goals? Cool, Cool, Cool.
Except kj I've had a really sore throat today so had trouble eating enough healthy food, I realized that the reason I'm struggling to get enough kj is that while I haven't significantly decreased the amount of food I eat, I have made BIG changes to what I used to put ON that food ie mayonnaise, sauce, oil, butter, margarine, even cheese or sour cream and toppings like chocolate or honey.
I knew that reducing the refined sugar would lower my kj because I overindulged in sugary things on a weekly basis but I don't think I realized how significant the calories that the extra's I was adding to every meal were.
This is something I'm going to keep in mind while I try to build new habits.
One strategy that is working for me is substituting creamed horseradish for mayonnaise (I was a Mayo-freak).
Tomorrow:
stay within KJ limit
watch out for sugar and sodium limits
eat chia for breakfast
avoid dairy and gluten
complete 30mins on exercise bike5 -
I used to go out and buy some knits especially for chemo hats ... as I don't really sew with knits much. But someone put me in touch with a lady that takes donated fabric ... and distributes it to people that do charity sewing. So any kind of fabric, to be used only for charity, this lady distributes. She must have a basement full of fabric. So about 4x a year, I go and pick up a couple bags of knits from her. Such a blessing she is, and without her, I could only afford to make a few of these.
I bet those hats will make some cold heads somewhere awfully happy
Love your work! Keep it up!4 -
Recap F 2/9 - Still recuperating, appetite slowly returning, losing weight way faster than is healthy...maybe overdid things past two days, really dragging this a.m. Need to listen to my body, take it easy and eat to recover my strength.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / maybe = Fitbit 6,463 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 hours & 23 floors
2) Make white chicken chili for supper & eat plenty / don't worry about calories at this point = Net calories & all numbers red, and 13c water. Hoping to regain my energy.
3) Pick up 5K race packet...not sure if I'll actually participate tomorrow. Overnight temp predicted to be 4F and based on experience, it's cold standing around for race to start at 8 a.m. Plus, not sure I'll have the energy at this point. Bummed, because I love this event, and there's a Seroogy's meltaway at the finish. = Have shirt & race bib for race I won't do
4) Lots of stuff on to-do list / don't do anything unless feeling better / REST in evening & watch Olympics / bed not too late = Changed into sweats, on couch all evening & watched TV...best medicine for me
Sat. skipped the 5K and slept in. Total rest day at home & watched a lot of winter Olympics. Put veggies / beef roast in crockpot for supper. Net calories, sodium, fiber and sugar good, protein ok & 10c water. Fitbit 2,325 steps, 250+ steps 4/14 hours & 5 floors...that's a sedentary day!!!
JFT Sunday 1/11
1) Sang with choir in 7:45 & 9:00 services
2) Make pea soup using leftover ham bone / net calories green / monitor the usual
3) Wash dishes / clean litter box area
4) Find last weekly weigh in post (not done last Sat. due to flu) and update
5) Bed & TV off 10:154 -

I am so glad you are feeling better and more rested. Enjoy your Sunday...sounds like you are going to continue to take it easy so your body can heal completely.
I don't even have a digital scale---just the old fashioned one with the tick marks indicating one pound increments...And my eyes are having more trouble seeing them clearly without my glasses. Maybe one day I will splurge and get a digital
Have blessed Sunday.
Peace and joy.4 -
So I didn't end up going to bed until after 1 am because I got caught up reading a really long chapter in my book. And the DH was pretty chatty so it was hard to focus. Lol. It was a good chapter and I hate putting a book down when I'm in the middle of a chapter. Lol. But the last two nights of going to bed so late has really taken its toll on me. After we decided not to go to church this morning, I ended up going back to bed at 930 and slept until 1220. Lol. Got up when the Penguins game started and made the DH and me healthier BLT's. Lol. I hadn't had one in a very long time and I was craving one. Lol. I could probably fall back to sleep pretty easily though. So I think it's time for a cup of coffee.3

2/10 Saturday JFT:
Spent the entire day taking care of my hubby.
He over worked himself this week while sick. So Saturday the kiddos and I managed Saturday Chores and my hubby rested all day!! My hubby and I enjoyed spending some quality time watching a movie together (which we haven't done in months!!) Then after dinner we all watched a movie together as a family. So Saturday was really just a relaxing / recuperating day.
2/11 Sunday JFT:
Hubby made breakfast Then we all relaxed together for a couple of hours just chatting. For the remainder of the day, I will be doing research work at home. I need to finish analyzing these glycopeptides and turn them in asap. I start a fresh set Tuesday morning.
We plan to play a family game of monopoly before dinner. Then hopefully eat dinner and get to bed early. The temp. dropped from 80°F to 30°F within a day and hasn't gotten warmer. So relaxing in the house is the safe bet for keeping everyone healthy.
Overall, the weekend was not productive in any specific sense. However I feel like we all got some quality time together this weekend which we haven't had in a while. We are all about to get really busy again, Lol
Everyone enjoy the remainder of your weekend4 -
@MLHC1 that sounds like a perfect way to spend a cold weekend with recuperating family. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
I’ve had an ok day. Not as active as I would have liked but the kids were tired and it as super cold so we took it fairly easy.
Recap JFT Sunday
- exercise early ✅
- 10k step aim nope but was over 9k so not far off
- Water ✅
- Stay in calorie goal (will be the toughest one) ✅ Only because I avoided the cake due to heartburn!
Tomorrow we are going to the Warner Bros Harry Potter tour as it’s the school holidays. The kids are super excited. Assuming food choices available won’t be great but am going to just enjoy and make sure I get lots of exercise in.
Goals for 12/2:
- exercise before kids get up
- 10k + steps
- 2 ltr + water
- Stay within calorie goal
- Book junk collection
- Buy garden waste bin
Night all x3 -

Well, this comment bit me in the butt. Lol. It's been raining for the last 24 hours at least. We ended up not going to church because of it, but a thunderstorm ended up passing through and my parents weren't home(because they were at church! Lol). So mom called me, waking me up. Me being me silenced the call and then heard a loud thunderclap. Saw that I had a text from mom asking me to go up to the house to sit with the dog. I sent the DH up because I was still half asleep and the DH, being an amazing man, went up and sat with the dog for an hour. Lol. She was freaking out. She only reacted twice apparently. Once when she tried to get under the kitchen chair at the DH was sitting on and then when she tried to climb into his lap but was only using her front legs/paws. He said it was like she forgot she had back legs. Lol. He ended up staying there even after the storm passed just so she would be okay. Mom and Dad got home about an hour after. He really is a great guy. Lol.

1. Log all that I eat! Waiting for mom to send me the recipe of what we had for dinner
2. Weigh-in Gonna do it tomorrow morning. I totally forgot this morning
3. Church(bring notebook and pen in case of inspiration!) As mentioned in previous posts, we were in the middle of TORRENTIAL downpours. Decided not to go.
4. Lunch/Hockey Made healthy BLT's and watched the Pens trounce the Blues
6. Youtube binge with DH I dont know why, but we just didn't do this. He played video games and I read. Lol
7. Prep lunches for DH for the week Done! Made 8 wraps and cut up 5 pieces of fruit and put them in separate containers. I've discovered that the DH is more likely to eat fruit on his break if I cut it up. Not sure why, but it seems to work. Lol.
8. Dinner with Mom and Dad Lovely dinner! Chicken Currey and a 300 calorie cookie. Lol
9. Iron interview clothes Gonna do this tomorrow morning before I go to the doctor
10. Shower Gonna do this in a few minutes.
11. Read/Bed by 11 Did the majority of my reading already and will probably be in bed by 930-10. Lol
Had a really nice relaxing day! The DH and I both had an instance of intense forgetfulness. The DH does it because of Post Concussion Syndrome We dont know why I do it. It's not from lack of paying attention. It's just like I only comprehend some pieces of info and not others. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Just some things I remember and some things dont. And often times nothing can jog my memory. It's just so odd. I have a doc appointment about my meds tomorrow so I'm gonna ask the Doc about it. We spent a lot of time on the couch watching hockey and things. And got a good reading session in. That was really relaxing and informative. Lol. I do have to finish the dishes and take a shower. Lol. Definitely gonna go to bed soon.
Onto the list!

11. Clean shower
12. Bring clothes to donation

Have a great night everyone!

3. Water!!!
2/11/2018
1. Get the laundry fully completed!
2. Water
3. Move my body for a bit.5 -

Today, I tried a few different things to keep my eating under control. One of those things was to wear my jeans all day around the house instead of sweatpants. I never used to wear sweatpants. I started wearing them all the time in the last couple of years, which makes it easier to eat because with the elastic waistband they don't feel tight. So, one lifestyle change I'm making is that I will be wearing my blue jeans again unless I'm exercising.
Just for Monday
1. No processed carbs
2. 65 oz of water or decaf beverages (tea)
3. Body Groove program = next step, after work
4. Review Beck's index cards at least twice
5. Hit my step goal
6. Read today's Simple Abundance and Beck's Diet Solution
7. Prep Tuesday's lunch, coffee pot, and set out clothes
8. 30 minutes cardio (Body Groove?)
9. Bed sleeping by 10, and get up in morning without hitting snooze

So today me and the boyfriend will be celebrating Pancake Day / Valentine's Day as I'm busy / away for the rest of the week.
It's not going to be a light day, but I'm going to moderate what I eat so that it's not a TERRIBLE day!
Today's commitments:
- Log my food as I go so am aware of what I'm eating
- Choose light lunch (less than 400 Cal's)
- No snacks
- Leave work by 5.15
- Exercise DVD after work
- Moderate my pancake eating - eat slowly so I feel full quicker, and keep the amount of filling down
- Max 3 G&T5 -
I love this thread. I’m new to MFP and calorie counting, having followed slimming world for most of my adult life! I’m enjoying my new found freedom but I’m one of these that expects results yesterday so I think this thread will help me to take things 1 day at a time.
My goals for today are:
- Log everything on here
- Drink 4 glasses water (I’m a terrible water drinker so it’s a start!)
- No snacking on junk4 -
JFT:
1. Log everything and stay in the green
2. Start again with only logging half of my calories
3. Stay away from sodium
4. Stay away from just that one piece of candy, bite of sweets, etc- or if you eat it- count it. It all counts!!
Happy Monday!7
