Yep I’m definitely racking up the “running to the bathroom” steps!
Good day today. Back on track - teetered on the edge buy stayed strong and that feels like more of a success than the ‘perfect’ days if you know what I mean? Started getting out some snacks after the girls went to bed and then actually managed to pause long enough to ask myself if it was what I really wanted. Put it all back! Major NSV for me.
JFT Thursday
- back on track (no stressing over what is done) ✅
- Exercise before kids get up ✅
- stay within calorie goal ✅
- 15k + steps ✅
- 3ltr+ water ✅
- Remember to bring assessment folder home for holidays ✅
- Print for first week back wasn’t needed. I forgot we have a training day first week back so plenty of time for admin then.
- Home on time - no staying late ✅
- Early night ✅
So over here in the uk we have now made it to the end of term. Only summer term to go and I have a nice full 2 weeks off before then. I’m tired but happy. A little anxious about keeping to plan without work (and associated steps/activity). So my goal these next two weeks is to plan more and pre-log as much as possible. And try and get to some exercise classes I can’t usually attend.
JFT Friday
- exercise before kids get up
- 3ltr+ water
- Pre-log all meals and stay within calorie goal (extra earned to be snacks or banked)
- Go and see my niece who is in hospital
- Remember to pack easter craft stuff and ice cream maker for my nephew
- Get to the pet store for kitten stuff
- Aim for 10k steps - maybe take kids for walk then out for breakfast/brunch in the morning?
- Early night
Have a good evening all! X5 -

Wowie zowie! look at those beautiful green boxes!! Fantastic getting back on track. And such a huge deal to stop and ask, "Do I even want these?" I did this with a piece of candy---I could fit it in but I realized I didn't even want the thing. We are changing, learning, moving forward. Enjoy your time off---I am cheering you on to making good choices, and focusing on your process---
Peeeee-ce and joy!!!!5 -

4. Morning routineI even prayed in the car on my way in just so that I could get that part of my morning in as well.
5. YOOOOGGGGAAAAADid a shorter video but boy did it feel good to do it!

11. Help D declutter her house 7-9Spent 2 hours sorting a pile of paperwork about 2 feet tall. Lol. I actually enjoy doing that. We also had some really awesome conversation. We're going to take one weekend and completely gut her office. It's causing her some serious anxiety so I figure the best way to solve it is to clear it all out and start afresh!
13. Bed by 11:30Possible but unlikely. It's 11:03 atm.

Not such a good day yesterday. I was tired and not in a great mood for various reasons. Ended up doing a bit of a comfort eating binge which I hadn't really done all year. A bit frustrated now!
Oh well, will have to just pick myself up and carry on!
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food/drink plan No... As above
- 1h lunch break - take a FULL HOUR I didn't do this. I was feeling pushed for time so just did worky things. This may have been a mistake, work wise
- Add some words to French vocab sheet due to lack of lunch
- Send email to MP was too tired and grumpy
Today is going to be hard. I have to meet my mum's boyfriend (who she thinks is going to be 'around for good'). I'm not really ok with her having a boyfriend - rationally I know it's a good thing, but emotionally it's quite painful for me (my dad died 4 years ago) and I'm struggling with it. (This is why I was in a mood and did comfort eating yesterday). I will have to stay strong to get through today, I think.
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Make and stick to food plan (once I know where we're going for lunch)
- Do exercise DVD
- Make an effort with Mum's boyfriend
- Take care of myself emotionally today7 -
This is my first post!
JFT - Friday
- Stay within my allowed calorie intake (1200-1400)
- Study
- Drink water whenever I have a craving for unhealthy food or snacks.
- Eat fruit instead of candy and chocolate.
- Take a rest day from exercise (my body hurts!)
Good luck everyone! 6 -
Goals for Friday:
- 8 cups water
- Log all food

Omg it’s nearly 12 and this is really hard!
I’m just hungry all the time.
I’ve so far managed to avoid the cupboard but I can’t pretend it’s not hard for me to not just grab something!
I’ve already had breakfast but just caved and had a piece of toast. I did genuinely feel hungry which I think is because I have a headache. Anyways, I then wanted ANOTHER piece of toast.
But I’m having water instead!
There’s just temptation everywhere!
Probably gonna post here through out the day to keep me on track!5 -
DS is much better, back at school today. I logged yesterday, but was SO FAR over, it's ridiculous.
anyway

JFT 3/30
log everything
stay green (this is going to be really difficult. i'm already over on carbs, and we have department meeting with lunch today. so maybe a really hard workout later. )
drink 80
work out enough to get green on calories...
continue prep for Always Hungry plan start.3 -
My headache is so bad
I’ve had 2 double strength ibuprofens and it’s just not shifting it.
Partners gone out so it’s just me and the kids.
I’ve had to separate them just to the noise they make. Casey’s being REALLY good today so that’s one good thing.
But it’s making me want to eat lots of bad things.
I’ve already succumbed to a packet of crisps but only 78 cals so not so bad.
What are your tips when you feel like this. I keep drinking water, on cup 5 now and it’s not staving off the cravings!!4 -
Recap Maundy Thursday 3/29 ~ vacation day at home = more spring cleaning & Easter dinner prep
1) Baked Kodiak Cakes power muffins ~ excellent source of protein!
2) Scrubbed out refrigerator & reorganized
3) Continue with cleaning & decorating to-do's, get food stuff ready to start baking & cooking Friday = Got a lot done, just not as much as I wanted.
4) Walk dog (temps more seasonable today, currently 41F and cloudy) = 3.6 mi 1:00:24 / happy dog & happy me / Fitbit 18,893 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 57 floors
5) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories green / monitor usual / at least 12c water = Trying to get so much done... late afternoon & late evening snacking direct from mixed nuts can & Brookside bag ~ ack!!! Net calories & sugar RED, sodium ok, protein & fiber good, 13c water.
6) Chuch service 7 p.m. / choir rehearsal after for Good Friday & Easter services Not home until 9:00 & wanted to get decorating done, but sat down (mistake #1), snacked (mistake #2) & Kitty jumped into my arms to snuggle and nap (lovely mistake). Nothing else got done around house after that.
7) Unplug 10:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 11:00 Not even close... bright side, I was again awake when hubby got home from work, 2nd time this week. But lack of sleep is not my friend... know I snack / overeat when overtired.
JFT Good Friday 3/30 ~ vacation / holiday = another busy day at home & away
1) At least since I snacked so much Thurs, I have no cravings for Easter candy, which I haven't even opened yet... small comfort. Usual breakfast / leftovers for lunch / spaghetti for supper... carb loading for 10K / drink > 12c water / net calories rational / cut out irrational snacking!
2) Put out Easter decorations / fill Easter baskets & bowls / set tables
3) Make cake & pudding for trifle / make lemon bars / make lime green salad / premix casserole / organize food prep for Sat. & Sun.
4) Wash dishes / organize pots & utensils for Sunday / wash towels
5) Walk dog (maybe short route)
6) 3 p.m. pick up race packet / prep clothes for Sat. 10K / monitor weather forecast ~ supposed to be very windy, snow, maybe rain... not ideal conditions
7) Tenebrae service 7:00 / choir at church 6:40 ~ remember the focus for this weekend
8) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:303 -

Eat! If you are hungry, eat! But choose wisely. Eat some protein; fruit; keep some peeled carrot sticks and bell peppers on hand; there is a forum on here for low cal dressings---make one and use it as a dip. Put some cottage cheese, and avocado, or a smear of nut butter on your toast. Eat a bowl of good cereal, with or without milk (sometimes I just get a serving a snack on it, without the milk). Popcorn. I make popcorn on my stove in a large pot. The directions call for a huge amount of oil. I just put one tablespoon of oil for about 8 cups of popcorn, which feeds the hubs and me. I salt the oil before adding the corn so the salt is distributed evenly.
Re: the children. If you haven't already, you might incorporate a quiet hour. Maybe when Casey is down for a nap. When I did this the kids got on their beds and could read, listen to a story, or just rest. No tv. No playing together, other than listening to a story together. Then you rest as well. No phone, computer, etc. (btw, there are several websites with stories that the kids can listen to)
(off topic) Also, when home, I had 4 o'clock clean up time. We would take a few minutes and tidy up the house. Sometimes I'd make a game out of it...everyone pick up and put away 15 items; or "I'm setting the timer for 15 minutes, let's see how much we can put away and tidy the house...ready, set, GO!" We'd all race around like mad men, but it was all fun and the house was tidied for the evening. I just function better when there's less clutter.
Okay, that's all I've got for ya, sistah! (so sorry about your headache...can effect the whole body.3 -
Yesterday, I met all my goals, once again drinking 9 cups of water.
Success: As some of you know, I am in TX visiting a couple of my kids---my oldest came by and spent the night while on his way to his home in Missouri, so that was nice...hoping to visit the Arkansas kid before I fly out. ANYWAY, my pants are getting too big so I reluctantly went shopping--- it's at least a thirty minute drive to the department store, and it's usually so depressing---and to my amazement, I am down 2 sizes in my pants!!! Wow wow wow... The proof is in the pudding:keep my eyes on the process and I will make progress!
JFT: March 30
I will drink 8 cups of water (JOAN, WHERE ARE YOU???!!!)
I will stay in the green
I will do my online study
I will take every bite captive
I will do a light exercise
For those who are participating in Joan's water challenge:

Welcome, welcome! I hope you will find this to be a useful tool for you to meet your goal. We are a supportive bunch. The key is for you to come on here almost, if not, daily and share your daily goals and whether you reached the previous day's.
Peace and joy1
