I am patting myself on the back for my calorie goals yesterday even though I was in the red by 39. I got home from work and hubby asks if I'll order pizza. I reluctantly agree, but order a thin crust for myself rather than sharing his. I also ordered garlic fingers and coke's though. Pizza is delivered and I ate way more than I was counting on and when I entered my supper into MFP I was over by almost 400 calories. I resigned myself to the fact that I would just be over and have to deal with that disappointment again. I finished crafting at 8 and watched a show with Rodger that didn't end until 930. I started watching This is Us that I had recorded and decided that even though I was exhausted and my back was hurting from slouching doing my crafts I was going to exercise. I walked 3 miles to Leslie Sansone while watching This is Us. I avoided having an evening snack except for 4 grapes! I wanted it, I was craving it, the Laughing Cow was calling my name from the fridge and I ignored it!

Hubby didn't burn anything last night, he had a migraine and went to nap right after supper and only woke up to watch a show and went back to bed. I was quite frustrated as I am running out of time to get these done and it's a 3 day show this weekend. It won't be successful if I have no product. He promised me that he would burn some this morning before he went to work. I woke up this morning and came out to the kitchen and he is sitting there burning. He called into work and took the day off to burn. I told him I hadn't expected this and it wasn't necessary, but he said he realized how behind we are. He then tells me that he told his boss that he was at the hospital with me.... I hate lies like that, they always have a way of coming true. I told him this and he told me to just be careful and don't let anything happen to myself. One of his co-workers is a friend of ours and is on my facebook. I have to be careful today to not say anything on there.

"Oh what a web we weave when we practice to deceive". My grandmother told me this quote over and over as I was growing up as I was quite the little "storyteller".

I have brought a dozen or so ornaments to work with me to paint and do my part on. He will have a lot burned for me when I get home, and I am off tomorrow so can stay up late tonight to work on them.

I have now registered us for shows every weekend starting November 17th until December 16th. His last day of work is Friday so he should be able to keep up with me easier now.

@snowflake1968 great job on resisting the snacks and doing the workout. I know I really struggle in the evenings when I’m tired so well done for being so strong! Yikes, I’m with you on being uncomfortable with lying. I hope you get all the prep done and the show is a big success. I love your ornaments. Do you do personalised ones? My daughter’s godmother comes over every year to help us decorate our tree - it has been a tradition since my ex left. And she always brings the girls a new personalised ornament, which they love.

I’ve had an ok day. Got lots done but it is so hard to avoid mindless snacking when at home off work! Especially when today’s activity with the kids involved baking

I’m just about maintaining but I would like to tighten up on intake in the next few weeks ahead of my 40th and then Christmas.

This is why I have been absent on this site for awhile! Finally finished (or almost finished!) the quilt to send to my cousin, along with 6 chemo hats. I thought the prayer on the back was perfect.

OK... now back to logging my food and posting more often!

That is beautiful - I love the scripture sewn in.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!👏👏👏👏😍 BLESS YOU🌹💖💖💖

Yesterday's commitments:

- Log everything I eat
- Make and Stick to food plan
- Eat slowly and mindfully
- Be in the green
- 2 litres water
- No alcohol
- 1h30 lunch break I ended up taking less as I got bogged down writing feedback on one of my colleagues for his six month review. He's someone that does everything to cover his own *kitten* and make himself look good whilst not really contributing very much and frequently throwing his colleagues (including me) under the bus. I enjoyed writing this feedback But it took a while, as I had to make it constructive and fact based rather than just an emotional rant which took a while! It was therapeutic
- Meditate No time because of shorter lunch
- French homework Yes! Only a little, and it got overtaken by more new work by the evening, but I managed to do something!
- Finish work at 5 latest 5.15 as I ended up having a chat with my boss about what he knows about how we can influence our roles in the new structure. It took twenty minutes to establish that he knows nothing. However, the conversation reminded me that there is an email address that we can send restructure questions to so I've decided just to ask the question directly and not faff about!
- 2+ of French podcast, article, book
- Gratitude journal
- Lights out by 11

I think that's a pretty good approach to a project because you know you have a set time to work with!
Well done anyway and good luck with today's goals!
