    I cut out my craving foods (sugar, flour, grains) and finally my cravings disappeared. Going on three weeks now, and I don't crave a pint of ice cream or chunks of sourdough bread. Not even alcohol. Lost a few pounds. I log my food the day before, and usually stick to it. Protein and fruit for bkfast; protein and veggies for lunch; protein and veggies for dinner. If I want a nighttime snack it's Face 2% plain yogurt, or Skye Iceland plain yogurt. Very creamy! One day at a time is my motto. I'm so sick of craving and binging! I don't even want pasta!

    Nice one! Persevering is the hardest part when you have to cut a craving but 3 weeks in and you’re doing great!
    Just goes to show it can be done!

    And I love the Fage and Skyr yoghurts! They’re SO filling!

    @OConnell5483 I'm doing OK. Most of the latest has passed. Now I'm just dealing with post viral asthma aggravation. Trying to not overdo and using my various inhalers etc because I do not want pneumonia. I really hope you can kick yours in the butt soon. <3 Take care of yourself.

    @bcTRAI and @missheidi How are you two? Are either of you feeling any better? I sure hope you are on the upswing and starting to feel better!

    I just found out that I will be off until at least Friday or Monday, and hopefully will be feeling better and able to go back then. I can honestly say, if I can't go back by then, I'm going to be really, really crabby! I'm off without pay and I hate sitting around and I want my old routine back! ugh.

    Anyway, I realized after reading all your inspiring and insightful posts today that I cannot let my goals slide like I have been just because i don't feel good. I haven't even been writing in my gratitude journal or reading my chapters in my books, which I normally do every night. It ends my day on a positive note. So, here I go! I a going to be realistic about it, however, because let's face it...if I felt good enough to be exercising, I'd be at work!

    Just for Tuesday, 3/5:
    1. Journal everything I eat today
    2. 64 oz of water at least
    3. Get up and move (it's already 2:30 but for the rest of the day I will be more mindful of how much I am sitting on the couch)
    4. Do laundry
    5. Eat my grapefruit and an orange today.
    6. Body, Mind & Spirit....Focus on each of the three, separately.
    7. Read Simple Abundance chapter, Read Beck's Diet Solution and write in gratitude journal tonight
    8. Listen to Optimal Living Daily and Optimal Health Daily podcast. Try one new podcast.

    Have a wonderful day everyone. I appreciate all of you so much. What a great group this is. I now log into this group more than I do Facebook, which I would have never thought I would do.

    @Bex953172 Thinking about you and little Casey! :heart:

    Recap T 3/6 - Woke up early to sound of neighbor's snowblower :#
    1) Shoveled walkway & patio before work while hubby snowblowed (blew?) driveway / repeat after work as needed (maybe done by hubby before his shift if snow stops sooner?) = Hubby shoveled before his work <3 / snow flurries continued but lightly so no shoveling in evening for me :D
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 10,531 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 34 floors :smiley:
    3) Lunch at desk (don't want to drive home with roads so-so) / heat something from freezer for dinner? / net calories green / monitor usual = Made new recipe with products from GreenHearts LLC purchased at winter market ~ no idea how to log on MFP! Net calories & sugar red, sodium / fiber / protein good and 15c water :neutral:
    4) Evening: laundry :smiley: & at least 1 to-do :smiley:
    5) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / floss :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / bed & TV off 10:15 (treadmill W a.m.) = more like 11:30 ~ ack!!! I need my sleep! :s

    JFT W 3/7
    1) Treadmill before work / 3 mi 49:19 / stretched :smiley: Even washed hubby's work clothes while walking (he keeps "forgetting") :D
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    3) Leftovers for lunch / choose wisely at soup supper (limit breads & desserts) / net calories w/i 100 green

    (((((all)))))
    It's so great to check in here and see everyone working away on their goals as well as holding each other up.
    @joan6630 welcome home

    I felt the same way when I saw her post!
    @joan6630...did you even know how important you are to us? :smile:

    3) After work walk dog / put on reflective gear / winter storm on its way, expect 3 - 7" wet, heavy snow late tonight & into tomorrow so back to treadmill (sad me)...reminder that I live in WI

    Welcome to all the newbies to JFT! This group helped me start a long logging streak and has been instrumental in getting me to my goals. Have a great Monday, all!

    It's that time of year that I start wondering WHY I live in WI. :wink: I couldn't believe it when I saw a weather advisory for tonight. ugh.

    Also, I wanted to tell you how inspiring it is to see your weekly/monthly posts showing your progress. It amazing to see how much those small steps each week in the right direction have added up to such wonderful life changes and I think you for sharing it with us.

    Monday...Happy Monday everyone!

    Pack and bring lunch to work - check
    Log everything
    Drink lots of water
    Get to the gym
    Stay focused and motivated
    Get to sleep early
    Keep it moving..... :)

    Have a great week y'all!

    Happy Monday to you too!

    Thank you for calling me out. :) I agree, it really is helpful and inspiring to see so many other people in here writing down the daily goals. For me, the act of actually writing it out really helps. Plus, showing up here, it makes me feel accountable (which I definitely need, lol). Keep on rockin y'all!
