    Stay FOCUSED - DO IT - QUIT BEING DISAPPOINTED WITH MYSELF

    Heading to my cousins shortly. Will be a tough day/night to stay in track but I’m going to try not to go overboard.

    Hubby fixed the dryer fuse for me yesterday so I did three loads of laundry last night and tidied a bit. It’s hard to keep it looking clean when there are 700 wood slices on your counters!

    My boss emailed me back yesterday after I had sent the letter for my staff to him to approve. He told me not to assume I would be done before my office worker. He had already told me my last day would be Nov 9 so I don’t know what’s happening now. My office workers last day is Nov 30. I’ll take and extra couple weeks if I can get them.

    It may be later in the day when I can check in tomorrow, but know I’ll be thinking about my goals and all of you!

    Good afternoon my dears!

    Still feeling ill but I have a lot of energy. I'm not sure why. I'm hoping it lasts me through Friday because after this upcoming week I have 5 days off. I had some leftover time off to use by the end of the year.

    I did a good amount yesterday and got a good start today. We slept in until 10(I forgot about DST so my alarm said 11 and I was kind of concerned lol).

    So far I did the dishes, laundry, went for a short walk with the DH and put chicken in the crock pot that I am going to use to make soup for dinner. I dont want to do too much though. I need to reserve some strength for the upcoming week.

    So onto my list for the remainder of the day

    1. Log food(making homemade soup so I will attempt)
    2. Drink 2 32oz cups of water
    3. Fold clothes
    4. Take shower
    5. Pay benefits
    6. Dishes right after dinner
    7. Bed prep by 930
    8. Lights off by 10

    I hope everyone has a great day! I'll definitely come back later!

    I seem to be doing Just for this Week lately. Weekday nights have been busy. I was exhausted after Halloween. My department coordinated costumes so I had to participate. We won the contest, then there was a block party that night in my neighborhood. We have more kids in the neighborhood now. My daughter (she's 24) bought the candy to hand out even though she was at work most of the night and it is mostly gone. I did gain but am coming back down again now. Too many lunches out at work as well. I guess I will have to be less social. I am reading a good series lately. Went to Aquafit yesterday morning. I did finally find my fitbit charging cable this week.

    1. prepare tomorrow's breakfast
    2. drink water (coffee this morning was so good).
    3. keep calories below goal

    Just for Monday
    1. water
    2. aquafit
    3. stay in calorie goal
    4. check in here and log food
    5. get sleep, brush teeth etc

    @HEGoddard0928 homemade soup sound so good now.

    So the soup was really good. I made a HUGE batch. I didn't realize how much I made until it was finally all cooked. A portion was about 2 cups. It was fill of veggies. There was also shredded chicken that I made in the crock pot earlier today and some short pasta. It was actually just some of everything I had in the house. A little grated cheese at the end and it was perfect! With lots of leftovers!

    @maryrobinson40 Holy Crow girl! I'm so sorry Mary. That must have been terrible! But it's so awesome that you could be the amazing mama you are and deal with everything to go get her. I hope she is doing better now and that things have calmed down a bit.

    Morning all. Had a great weekend with my boyfriend. He is definitely making a real effort after our conversations and I’m feeling much happier, supported and respected right now. We ate some pretty calorific food over the two days but I logged in 3 hours of exercise on Saturday so it fit. Yesterday I was over by a fair amount even with my three mile run but it’s one day so I’m not stressing. Back to it today.

    Monday goals
    - morning workout
    - Arrange for parents to pick up kids this afternoon
    - Early to school: stick worksheets, Good as Gold certificate, send email re workshop, reply to J
    - Water! Aim for 2ltr
    - Hot yoga after school?
    - Girls’ birthday party invite replies/presents
    - Early night

    Have a great start to the week everyone! X

    Weekly weigh in:

    Goal weight: 154
    October 15th: 164.25
    October 22nd: 167.25
    October 29th: 163
    November 5th: 164.25

    Today's weigh-in doesn't surprise me, in fact I am glad it wasn't worse!

    I did fairly well at the start of the week, but in the second half it all fell apart a bit. I went to my mum's for the weekend and took advantage of this to (a) not bother to log because I was 'away' (b) eat lots of the things that I tend to only/mainly eat when I'm at my mum's. I have to get better at not doing this when at mum's - I'm going for eight days over Christmas!

    Back on track now, hopefully. I think I need to re-evaluate my strategy for losing weight as clearly it's not working. I'm thinking of re-evaluate reading the Beck Diet Solution - while some of the lessons have gone in, some just haven't stuck.
