Good evening my friends! I hope you are all doing well!
With the exception of an inconsistent stomach, I've had a great day! Work was simple and went by surprisingly fast. There were torrential downpours on my way in. I usually take the high way for about 2 minutes in the morning and it was raining so hard everyone was doing 40 and all you could see were brake lights. But of course, I pull off the highway at my exit and it magically stops raining! Lol. We made it into the building with nothing but wet sloshy feet from all the rivers we had to walk through! Lol.
For some reason, I almost threw up the salad I was eating for lunch. I got about 3 forkfuls in and just couldn't finish it. I then proceeded to have a really sour stomach for the rest of the day. I ate a few pieces of fruit just to have something it.
I'm home now and I have a bunch of things that I want to do tonight but I'm not sure that I will actually get any of it accomplished. Lol. All I want to do is lay down on the couch and not move! Oh well, can't do that!
I wasn't going to make dinner but if I dont I know I'll spend all evening snacking and I can't do that to myself! Lol.

My daughter does that, she hates cooking and they used to eat out at least 5 nights a week. They couldn't afford it either waist wise or financially. She started a bullet journal, she now has a rotation of meals that she makes and they only eat out on grocery/pay day. It has helped her lose 20 pounds and they are better off financially.
She came up with a really cool method for it, she uses sticky notes with the actual meals written on them and the ingredients she needs. A couple days before grocery day, she arranges her sticky notes for the next couple weeks and "writes" what she needs to buy into her phone note app. She said it has made it manageable for her.1 -

I'm the only teller so I have to take care of all of the customers and now that LK is gone and LM is back we spend the day catching. It's been great! But it's been cutting into my MFP time! Plus the DH and I have been spending a lot of time together cuddling on the couch or just talking and having fun in the evenings after work so I never seem to get online for more than a minute or two. My logging has been slipping as well. I have been having issues with motivation like a lot of us. Today has been a good day though. I treated myself to 12oz cup of coke and a yummy apple yogurt parfait today. I did a lot of work around the house today though so the calories should bounce back.
The DH has wanted pork chops for the last few days. I picked some up yesterday when I went to Aldi's so now I need to find a good low-calorie recipe to make tonight. My main problem is that I dont have an oven so I can't do anything baked.
As for exercise today, our bulk garbage pick up is tomorrow so Dad brought down his trailer(full of his own stuff mind you) for us to throw some junk onto. We had two busted up, super cheap clapboard dressers that we broke apart and loaded on. So that took a while and we threw out a few other things as well. I then picked up around the house and folded a load of laundry. I have two more left to do once I finish them up at the house.
Okay, enough rambling. It's currently 3pm here. The goals will be for the rest of the day...
JFT, 8/12/18
1. Finish/fold laundry
2. Research and make a pork chop recipe
3. Only one evening snack
4. Kitchen closed at 9
5. Shower/Face/Teeth
6. Tech off by 10:15
7. Bed by 11
How do you survive without an oven? That must be so hard!
I make do with a microwave, induction hot plate and a few nice crockpots. Lol
That is really impressive! I don't think I could do it. I would need at least a toaster oven I think.
When I bought my first house (single then), the ancient appliances were not included. Since I couldn't afford one I lived without a stove/oven for a few months. I survived with microwave, crockpot, sandwich press, fast food and eating out. I also was a road warrior for work and gone a lot.

There were baby birdy sounds by the outside of the AC so Panda went to investigate and ended up in my crockpot...that's what I get for leaving the lid off. Lol. He actually ended up sitting in there for like an hour. Lol

Good Evening friends, Ladies, Gentlemen... "LEND ME YOUR EARS"... It's ok... Mine are working fine... Lol….
Wanted to give each of you a bit of a tickle with my corny jokes.
So the baked potato said to the half baked potato.."DO YOU EVER GET DONE?" THE Twice baked potato chimed in with laughter, I'm so Over both of you." LMBO

I finally figured out what I could do for a place to exercise at home. I went and bought foam puzzle mats today for some cushion and have cleared a space on the craft room floor. I really need to get in there and do a major clean, this is our spare/craft/storage/catchall room and its hard to keep up with. I’m going to ask for a small tv for my birthday, for now it will just be my iPad.
Going for a walk tonight it’s finally nice and I need to burn some calories!1 -

Hello all! I am back! I ended up with a whammy of a summer cold that knocked me out last week, and I ended up laying pretty low over the weekend as well. Just starting to feel like myself again. Feeling crummy brought me back to some comfort eating, although I feel I did a lot better than times past. I tried to bulk up on fruit and better choices at least some of the time. Haven't been able to exercise at all because I've had no strength or energy. Regardless, I am ready to push myself back into healthy habits. Leaving my goals here for tomorrow, and it feels really good to be back. I missed you all!
For tomorrow:
House chores
30 minutes exercise (depending on where my energy/strength levels are at)
Track food and exercise
Eat all servings of 5 food groups
Meet 1200-1400 net calories, counting exercise
Water challenge-80 oz.
Post here for accountability + sleep hrs.1 -
@jeschepp …..glad you are back!1

*sigh* it's 5am. Can't sleeeeep.
I've had a cough which I caught off my daughter and I've been keeping my OH awake, anyway he asked if I would mind sleeping on the sofa so he could catch up on some sleep which is fine I don't mind. But the two youngest girls were being pains. Casey decided she was still hungry where she normally sleeps through the night. And Marley, I dunno I think she just wanted to be up lol!
But it's now 5am and I can't sleep!2 -

Well she got up at 4? So she'll sleep through now, I must have missed a feed yesterday for her to do that.
But yeah the eldest will be up around 7.
Im just not tired at all. But I know I will be if I don't sleep soon!
I don't have any herbal sleep stuff in either. So am just sat here LOL.1 -

Tuesday Goals:
Wake up in time
Have breakfast at home
Ease into the day
Have quiet time
Stick to the meal plan
No dessert at Alpha tonight.
Complete Day 4 of exercise plan
Be in bed by 10.
I woke up on my first alarm today and didn't snooze super proud.
Made oats and coffee then snuggled under blankets eating my oats. That was the best bowl of oats I've ever had. It was sweet and tasty like dessert.
And I didn't even add sugar. It was good. I set my alarm for an hour before I needed to be up and I spent that time just laying in bed. I listened to a motivational video and journaled, before jotting down everything I needed to do for the morning.
Made my bed and got my hair all pretty and make up done. I never have time for that because I get up at the last moment.
Small changes.3 -
Morning everyone, took a bit of an extended break as I think I just got a bit overwhelmed at the end of last week. I worked so hard on keeping with the programme in the run up to my holiday and while away I think it has just been too much. And I feel a bit rudderless without my kids here.
So yesterday was the first Monday in about 6 months that I didn’t workout at all. And today I’m thinking seriously about how I’m going to balance health and fitness goals (the constant fear of losing all progress and regaining) with a more realistic lifestyle.
So Tuesday goals
- morning workout
- April to August challenges
- shopping (printer ink and jeans)
- post/paperwork/house tidy
- maybe hot yoga
- Spend evening working out a term time fitness routine
- Early night
Have a great day all x3 -
