    Also brought dinner leftovers for single co-worker who struggles at times. Made her happy & made my day! :smiley:

    I LOVE that you did this, Carmela! These are the kind things I wish more people in our world would do. What a beautful world we would live in.

    Beautiful quilt @joan6630! Absolutely love it! You do such beautiful work! Did you do all the quilting by hand? Do you have a long arm? Very pretty!

    @Bex953172 I love the idea of monthly challenges! I'm in!

    My BIL and his wife have been staying with us since last Tuesday so I have not been in my normal routine. It's been so much fun, and I have laughed harder than I have in such a long time! My ribs actually hurt! BUT, I really need to hop on here and get back into a routine. We took them to Kroll's last night and I hate deep fried perch and fries, and my hands are swollen today from salt and grease. It was delicious but enough is enough!

    Just know I've read all the posts up to here and I'm excited about victories and thinking of you all.

    Just for Sunday:
    1. Journal every bite
    2. Stay in the green
    3. Eight 8 oz glasses of water
    4. Prep for next week
    5. Meal plan for next week
    6. Tiny Habits
    7. Submit taxes and get bills paid
    8. Run my errands
    9. Evening ritual - Simple Abundance, New Day New You, 5 things in my Gratitude journal
    10. Bed early because it has been a very long week and I'm exhausted!

    Happy Sunday everyone! :)

    Find something to get me moving throughout day

    Had a good night with the grandkids Friday night, Little Miss has learned how to climb out of playpen so I got lots of steps in putting her back to bed. I did my weigh in this morning down to 155.2 only 5 pounds to go and I’ll be at my starting weight the first time I was on here.

    I have to figure out a plan for today to move, I find I sit a lot when the family is here On Sunday’s.

    Goals for Sunday:

    - 8 glasses - yep :)
    - Log all food! - nooo
    - Just keep house tidy today - *sigh* it’s a never ending task.
    - Maybe walk dog as a family?- nope, we all just chilled out today

    Wow so I don’t know what’s happened today, I must of cut down on a lot of sugar over the last couple of days because today I went absolutely crazy and I can not stop eating chocolate, literally CAN NOT stop!
    I’ve ate enough now I feel sick (not in one go, just over the day)

    Really must learn from this, somehow?

    Will post new goals in the morning!

    This weekend has been a bit rough. Managed to keep up the workouts and had a lovely time celebrating Greek easter with the family today. But food wise it’s been a bit of a bust! I really feel like I need to be more relaxed about going “off plan” rather than deciding it’s a disaster and then writing off the rest of the day.

    I’ve said it before so clearly this is an ongoing issue for me. But if I’m going to truly make this work as a lifestyle, then i need to try and find some balance.

    Anyway, Monday goals
    - morning exercise
    - 3ltr+ water
    - Stay within calorie goal
    - Yoga
    - School uniform shopping with the kids
    - Check in with lawyer
    - Early night

    Have a lovely evening all. X

    PS Not done so well on the water so far this month but I am still trying and very up for joining in a monthly challenge!

    Rushing this morning so I'll have to skim through posts tonight. We had a busy weekend so I didn't even post. I need to make an effort to post daily.


    Walk w/dog in park. Sunny but cold.
    Grocery shopping.
    Plan out week ahead for commitments to reduce stress (that would lead to stress eating).
    Pork tenderloin tonight.
    Tracked Breakfast & snacks so far.
    Stronglifts today-week 2, workout B which are new exercises. Prepared to look like a newbie today knowing that by Friday, I'll be more confident.
    Meditate. 2x 15 mins each.
    Continue with decluttering. Set timer for 20 minutes.
    Start planning for trip to Canada.
    Read something inspirational.
    Aim for 9:45 for bedtime.

    Setting some a new goal-no snacking 3 hours before bedtime. This is going to be a challenge (but remind myself over the past year I've increased water, protein, eliminated sugary coffee drinks and drive thrus).

    My father has expressed an interest in losing 70lbs and getting healthier. I will do my best to support him & be helpful.

    Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

    When there's no wind.....ROW!

    Hugs @joan6630 - I’m not surprised you are stressed and anxious. I hope you get the decision you need on disability for your daughter. Take good care of yourself as well as her - she needs you healthy x

    I have had a good day today - seems to be my Monday pattern after a “bad” weekend. I guess it’s good that I get straight back on it, just wish I didn’t go “off it” in the first place!

    Anyway, despite a horrible rainy day, it’s all looking v green:

    - morning exercise ✅
    - 3ltr+ water ✅ yes!!!!!!!!!
    - Stay within calorie goal ✅
    - Yoga ✅
    - School uniform shopping with the kids ✅
    - Check in with lawyer ✅
    - Early night ✅

    Also took the kids to a pottery painting cafe and we had such a lovely time. It was v expensive, but made me think maybe I should buy some proper art equipment to use with them and after they go to bed as I so enjoyed helping them.

    Goals for tomorrow:
    - morning exercise
    - 3ltr + water
    - stay within calorie goal
    - Find an activity for the girls which isn’t weather dependent!
    - Cook dinner for a friend who is coming to see us
    - Online grocery shop
    - Sleep by 10

    JFT, Monday
    1. log all food :)
    2. concentrate on water :)
    3. do tiny habits:
    After I take my morning shower, I will take my vitamin :)
    After I eat breakfast, I will fill up my water bottle :)
    After I have my planned evening snack, I will brush and floss my teeth :)
    4. NO EATING AFTER 7 PM. Somehow, I have to figure out a way to break this stress-relieving habit :/ I did eat a protein bar at 9pm ...... but .... I took my daughter to a frozen yogurt place, and I just drank my water!!
    5. write positive thoughts and concentrate on those today :/ So busy sewing, but will do this if I have time yet before bed.

    Water Challenge
    Apr 1: 0 glasses
    Apr 2: 8 glasses
    Apr 3: 4 glasses
    Apr 4: 6 glasses!
    April 5: 7 glasses
    April 6: 6 glasses
    April 7: 9+ glasses --- I lost track!! YAH
    April 8 - forgot to post, but I know I got in a lot. Maybe not quite 8 glasses though?
    April 9 - 8+

    I started out my day so down and grumpy, but tried hard to think positive. And ... it doesnt take long to see or hear of others that have it SO much worse. I talked to daughters apartment manager ... and once a week I am going to go and help my daughter clean her apartment. That way, I can see if any sinks are plugged, things needing fixing, etc. So hopefully this will work out, and we have no more issues. Hoping the rent stays the same .... and hoping and praying disability comes through. It will be a long 3 months waiting though.
    But foodwise - I did so much better, and got in over 8 glasses of water. I filled my large water bottle 4 times --- and took it with me when I took my daughter for ice cream, so that helped also! So .... a good day for me

    JFT, Tues
    1. go to the gym
    2. log all food
    3. do tiny habits: vitamin, water bottle, brush teeth after 7. Trying to turn these into habits!
    4. work on new quilt I am starting --- need to cut up over 400 1.5" pieces!! Am I crazy or what!! It will be a totally scrappy quilt!
    5. help hubby - have to ship tomorrow.
    6. Get hair cut/colored
    7. write positive thoughts and concentrate on the good
    8. get back on here - be accountable.

    BTW --- where is everyone? I only had to go back 1 page to find my posts! Oh -- thats right, I posted this morning, not last nite.Still .... seems very quiet on here today. Hope you are all doing OK?
