    @cschmitz110515 - I had a similar battle this morning to force myself up to exercise. So glad I pushed through and did it! I’m tired this afternoon and grumpy about mess in the house caused by others. Have jumped on here for some anti-snacking motivation and your post and @Snowflake1968 ‘s snack win from last night have refocused me. Thanks ladies!

    @snowflake1968 - good luck with the craft show. Hope sales are good but you have enough stock. I’m sure it will be exhausting. Look after yourself and let us know how you get on.

    I started an early morning habit that amazingly I've stuck with for a few months. I do push ups and stomach exercises before leaving for work. only takes 10 minutes but its keeping me from falling into the abyss...of not doing anything. lol

    Great stuff! Everything counts and starting the day with exercise tends to put me in a good frame of mind for the day. I go to yoga classes quite a lot and one of the phrases I hear from many of the teacher is to be grateful for whatever your body has managed to do, and remember that ‘no effort is wasted’. Like to remind myself of that one if ever I feel I haven’t quite smashed it with a workout or have had to cut it short...

    Welcome, I started participating in this group in March of this year. I count it as a huge part of my success so far with my weight loss. Posting those goals and having to come back and say I didn't do them is a huge motivator to do them.

    Thank you so much! that's really encouraging. I'll keep checking in & thrilled to hear you're doing well with your goals!

    JFT Thursday
    1. Log all food :)
    2. Cook dinner at home :)
    3. Practice breathing/core work :)
    4. Vacuum living room >:)
    5. Sort Laundry >:)
    6. Start meal planning for next week >:)
    7. Empty/fill dishwasher >:)
    8. De-wrinkle winter curtains and hang in living room >:)
    9. Bed early >:)

    It was a bummer of a day at work - we were really distracted and I didnt have the focus for the chores I had planned. I did take the curtains out - but theyre so wrinkled and they say no ironing and I'm hesitant to steam them because theyre the heat blocking kinda rubber backing - so I just laid them out for now but any tips appreciated! I did replace my lofty goals with things I could accomplish, like wiping down counters and mirrors and things so I felt good about adjusting my plan rather than throwing in the towel completely.

    JFT Friday AM
    1. Smoothie for breakfast :)
    2. Take fish oil :)
    3. Bring left overs for lunch :)

    Behind on goals for today but making it simpler!

    Hi ladies! I'm at work so have to do this quickly. I had physical therapy today and after working all week, boy oh boy am I ever sore! I cannot wait to get home tonight, take my work clothes and shoes off, throw on my pj's and veg on the couch! 12 more minutes and I'm outta here....but who's counting right?

    @Faebert Have a god weekend! I think riding a train for 2 hours sounds like fun, but that's probably because we don't really have a train or anything like that around here to ride. I always want what I don't have you know...

    Love to everyone!

    1. Journal every bite
    2. WATER

    I had a tremendous day! Only 1 Harry Potter set left, didn’t run out of anything but had a successful sale day! My table rental for the three days is covered plus some. That is always my biggest fear.

    Didn’t have a chance to read everything or comment too busy. Hopefully I can tomorrow, if Jit it will be Sunday!

    Thinking of you all!

    I copied this post from another I wrote in a different thread in 2017. Just a reminder of something we may all need to remember. I thought it was a timely, considering the fast approaching season. Be gentle with yourselves, I love you all.

    *****************

    WE ALL need to be more forgiving, patient, and loving of our own selves. While I've been reading and posting this past week or two I've been struck by the fact that at this time of year for some reason we seem to take our normal lives and cram way more stuff in without altering anything. Then we expect it to all fit and are stressed out when it doesn't. ??????

    It's OK to do less than everything. Fine, in fact.



    I remember this!!! I remember this because it absolutely turned a lightbulb on in my brain when I read it last year. I remember thinking how true it is and how crazy I had been trying to fit in even MORE than I could already manage and that something just had to give and that was that! I am SO HAPPY you posted this again! It helped me tremendously last year in getting my priorities straight. HUGS to you! You always have just the right things to say. xoxoxo

    5. Iron material for backing of Bex's quilt tonight so I can get busy on it tomorrow :star: Ready to sew cut and pin! Took me forever to decide which one I wanted to use! I had 4 different materials I love and had to narrow down to which one I will use.
    6. Do EOM Bills tonight :naughty:Just didn't want to do anything more on a computer.
    7. Update bullet journal's to-do list for the weekend :star: Have a pretty good list going!

    Happy Saturday! Today I have a birthday party for one of the grandsons, M, and I'm hoping to not give into eating the cake. I plan to eat a decent lunch before I go so I am not hungry. Hubby is going hunting after the party, so I'll have most of the afternoon and evening to myself. Yea me!

    I have plans for the afternoon already. Been thinking about it all week. I realized I've been putting off finishing @Bex953172's quilt for Casey because I'm at a point which I've never done before and I'm really kind of intimidated by it. So...I broke it down into small steps which makes it all look so much easier and doable! I'm going to start this afternoon by doing one step at a time and marking it off the list and before I know it, it'll be done! I'm so excited!

    J4T - Saturday
    1. Journal every bite
    2. Choose my food mindfully
    3. Focus on water
    4. Bills
    5. Go to M's birthday party
    6. Walk Maddie and hit step goal
    7. Work on quilt - Cut material to size / tape backing down to table / cut batting to size and lay on top of backing / lay quilt top on the top layer / pin quilt together / find middle of quilt / begin quilting a the center
    8. Body / Mind / Spirit
    9. 5 fruits and veggies
    10. Gratitude journal / Simple Abundance / Dodie reading / read another chapter for pleasure

    11. Design minibuttons with school logo, mascot, crest. Minibuttons that say THIS IS WHAT ANTIFASCISM LOOKS LIKE. White text on black bars on red background.

    And my weight has swung up again, and I'm not sure why this time. Definitely a bummer. Tonight is the last night at the haunted house, though, and I didn't try out for any Christmas theater stuff. I'm really looking forward to things being less hectic. (HA HA HA.) I did sign up to go knocking on doors next weekend and encouraging people to vote; I'm wondering if maybe next election cycle I can sign up with the Other Party because hey, we should ALL be pro-voting, right? And that way I can group up with people who see things differently from me and we can work together toward a shared goal. And maybe I can gain some understanding.

    I dont know why I do this. I'll be active on the board until Wednesdayish and then just fall off the face of the planet. Sometimes I'll read the posts and not say anything and sometimes I just stay away. I know that this is part of the reason that the weight has slowly been creeping back on. I haven't been keeping myself accountable for what I have been eating or doing. I don't know why. I feel like I miss a day or two and then feel bad about not doing what I should be doing. Like I'm being a terrible friend to you all. I know that that isn't true but it's been rough. Flo just left so I hope I can get back on track. I haven't been cooking much or bringing my lunch to work. We've mainly been getting takeout because by the time dinner time rolls around I dont feel like getting off the couch. I know that this needs to change. I think that I am going to make a couple of batch meals today and tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, it's my brother's wedding. It snuck up on us awfully fast. It's going to be a potluck so I will have to take sensible portions and attempt to log. It's a wedding of theater people with mainly theater people as guests. Mom and Dad went to the rehearsal last night and said that it will definitely be interesting. Lol.

    Okay...enough babbling. I think that I am going to keep my goals simple today. I think I might also look up one of the walking videos that @Snowflake1968 has mentioned. I have a very small house but I can definitely do some walking place(if that is what the videos actually are. Lol) The DH will probably look at me like I'm crazy but oh well. Lol.


    Okay...on to goals!

    1. Log what I eat
    2. Do laundry/fold clothes!
    3. Text M re Goodwill
    4. Put something in the Crockpot
    5. No nap!
    6. Figure out dinner
    7. Look up walking video

    Okay. I think that that should be good!

    Hannah, I totally get where you are coming from! It's hard to get on here when you work full time and have so much going on. We all have busy lives, and sometimes I know there are days I get on here and read the posts and don't have time to reply, so I tell myself I'll come back later and then I just forget. Pretty soon I'm so far behind I can't possibly get all caught up! We are a chatty group! Maybe just pop on here and post your goals without worrying about commenting or even reading everyone else's posts. We all know that you care! We are all busy living our lives outside of here! You do what works best for you, and if you need to take a break, then you do that! Just make sure you are taking care of YOU! <3

    Love Leslie Sansone's walk inside videos! I work harder on those than when I take a real walk outside! LOL!

    My hubby laughed the ENTIRE time. Lol. He kept trying to take videos of me but I gave him the stink eye every time. Lol. It definitely brightened both our moods. Lol.

    Love!!
    Well, The Diet Soup Is On The Stove Cooking... How about my sister is ready to eat it.
    She says she doesn't feel good and the soup smells like it will make her feel better...
    Really?!!... Anyway, Wonderful Weekend!!! So Ready for this season. From November
    to May, I'm in the seasonal spirit. I love the crisp air of winter, my lungs appreciate the
    freshness of the air. I was asked out the other night, but haven't given an answer.
    Love to everyone on here. WELCOME TO THE NEW JOINERS!

    @HEGoddard0928 - hugs! Sometimes there is just too much going on in life and it can be overwhelming. Don’t worry about not being able to respond to everyone on here.

    Maybe it would help if you just concentrated on meal planning for a while. You always seem to have some yummy healthy recipes that you are trying for dinner so if you can carve out some free time to get back to that and ditch the takeaways it might get you back on track?

    Well done for doing the video - even if Matt laughed! Next time challenge him to do it with you ;) Have a great time at the wedding!

    @AJB1014 - sounds like a stressful situation. Well done for staying on track!

    @maryrobinson40 - love your positivity about the new season. I hate the onset of colder winter weather! I will try and use you as my inspiration to look for the good stuff about autumn and winter. And you were asked out - exciting? Do you like this person? Either way, i guess it’s nice to have the compliment, which you totally deserve.

    We have started Daylight Saving Time here in the UK and the clocks have gone back an hour so I’m up early. Was planning to take a rest day today but I’m awake and thinking maybe I should work out anyway?? A good day out yesterday and looking forward to a chilled day mostly at home today.

    Saturday goals
    - morning workout (early!!) ✅
    - Leave by 9am for station - remember to take dad’s gift for her ✅ but then I accidentally brought it back home again!!
    - Pack some healthy snacks and make sensible choices ✅
    - Day in Manchester with younger sis ✅
    - Long walk? ❎ shopping with the kids instead as weather wasn’t great. But we walked a lot!
    - sort emails in the evening ❎ too tired.

    Sunday goals
    - rest day??
    - Walk/jog with kids for coffee and grocery shopping
    - Pack schoolbags/check schedules ready for return to school
    - Sort emails
    - Christmas present research - godchildren and their siblings
    - Early night

    3. Remain calm and kind

    What a worthy goal! Love this.
    And my weight has swung up again, and I'm not sure why this time. Definitely a bummer.

    How's your hydration been? sometimes that's all it is for me - i get dehydrated, eat salty food, and boom -- my weight is up -- sometimes as much as 4 lbs in a single day! it can be hormonal, too. try to hydrate and keep logging and it'll come down again!

    Meanwhile just want to say I really liked reading your goals and your perspective. i agree, we should ALL be pro-voting! That's what democracy is all about.

    Sunday goals
    TO DO LIST:

    ( ) hydrate! 64 oz a day
    ( ) read a line in a book
    ( ) time myself at work for 2 hrs to stay focused without interruption (trying to work on regaining my longterm focus)
    ( ). eat a fresh veggie! (and ideally 5)


    be healthy
    be mindul at work
    enjoy being a person on earth

    These were my Saturday goals, too, and I did everything but 2 hrs of timed work. Kind of beating myself up about it, but I'll see how much I can get done today!
