    Briefly: My oldest daughter calls me in distress around 9p.m.
    Boyfriend beat her
    I don't have a car, noone else available and she lives 35 miles away.
    Daughter said he put her out she was in her socks,jeans, and a thin
    Sweat jacket type.....no shoes. Police were called from her end, meanwhile
    I walked to my ex's apartment, got his car to go rescue her.
    That's where the miles and walking came in. Daughter is with me for now.

    Oh Mary... I am so so sorry for your daughter. But it is good that she knows she can call you... and you could be there for her. Hugs to you dear friend. <3

    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.

    I am also getting my Beck book back out to read. I did great all week, until last nite. Emotions seem to get me. Hubby tells me that is just an excuse ... and I know he is right. So I really need to get back to remembering all the things to do when emotional eating and stress happens... distractions.... like closet cleaning, etc.

    Hugs all round to those who need them. This is such a tough time of year to stay on track, with weather becoming rubbish and all kinds of temptations like Halloween around. We can do this though - one day at a time.

    I had a very indulgent weekend but am back on the horse today and determined not to be perfect, but to be happy. That means letting go a bit sometimes, but getting back to it soon after as I know I will feel awful after a while. So I’m tired today and have serious sugar cravings but I’m parking my weekend and ignoring them!!

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :smile:
    - Stick to food & drink plan :smile: Pretty much - we went for dinner and I ordered exactly what I planned. I did swap a medium glass of wine for a large one, but then didn't have a G&T when we got home to make up for it
    - 4 bottles water :/ Only managed 3
    - Go to gym :smile:
    - Food shopping :smile:
    - French homework :smiley: Yes - I am now completely caught up! That feels good.
    - Career planning :/ I did just half an hour. Next week, I'm going to make a list of actions in advance. I'm also thinking that perhaps I should give myself actions to do in the week rather than reserving it all to one day where I get depressed and demotivated
    - Gratitude journal :smile:
    - Lights out by 11 :smile:


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan

    1. Dont worry about logging. Drink lots of orange juice 😀 Considering MFP wouldn't let me log in I didn't finish logging anyway. Lol
    2. Order cat liners😀 Bought a few boxes from Amazon so we should be set for like 6 months. It's amazing how hard it was to find these now
    3. Research SB😑 Totally forgot. Will do this tonight
    4. Remember soup for lunch 😀 Turned into more of a stew then a soup but I don't mind that at all. Was still very yummy
    5. Food shopping after work. Make sensible shopping list 😣 Was rainy and gloomy and just gross by the time I got home. I did not want to go anywhere
    6. Pork chops for dinner 😑 Forgot to defrost them
    7. Dishes right after dinner😀
    8. Bed prep 945🤣 After 1030
    9. Lights out 1030😑 Probably closer to midnight

    Still feeling pretty crappy. Can't kick this cold. I'm really hoping I feel better by the end of this week. I don't want to be sick for my time off. I'm currently sitting on the couch with a cat in my lap trying very hard not to fall asleep. Lol. I'm going into work late today so I could very easily go back to sleep. I think that would be a bad idea though. Lol.

    JFT, 11-6-18

    1. Log all food
    2. Bring lunch to work
    3. Research SB
    4. Food shopping! There isn't much food in the house!
    5. Work 915-515
    6. Bed prep by 945
    7. Lights out by 1030

    Have a great night everyone one!

    Wow it's been a busy few days on here. I have read and kept up but couldn't find time to respond. I went to Wainwright with the Grands for the night Saturday night and got home Sunday afternoon. It was a good trip and I'll for sure do it again with them someday. Summer would be a good time to do it though LOL

    After supper on Sunday my daughter drove me to pick up one of the company cars for my other daughter to drive to Calgary yesterday for me. I drove down and arrived there at 930 yesterday morning, my VP set the meeting up told me to be there, but didn't have time for me until after 10. He then met with me for 10 minutes, typed up my notice letter for my end date and then I sat and waited for Kaitlyn to arrive. My end date with the company will be December 7th, I am surprised by this as I was only legally entitled to one week's notice. I'll take it!

    Anyhow, when I got home yesterday Kaitlyn and I did some ornament painting, I made her favourite supper for her and when she left last night I went outside and did some sanding. By the time I came in I was freezing so I took a hot relaxing bath and then cuddled up to watch tv.

    I have eaten way too many Halloween treats, I think most of the ones I like are gone now. I need to get back on track today. I saw 180 again on the scale and I'm not happy with myself.

    On to my goals - I completely didn't do any yesterday!
    JFT - Tuesday November 6

    Checking in after a busy day yesterday. Work has been so hectic as my teaching assistant is off at the moment so I’m managing all 30 kids on my own all day every day. Feel like I can barely pause for breath at the moment. But I had a bit of a win last night. After a truly horrible day at work I was supposed to go to the cinema with a few colleagues but the showing was sold out so we went for some food instead. I’m really pleased I made some sensible choices and got home at a reasonable hour and went straight to bed. It could so easily have gone the other way!!

    Tuesday goals recap
    - morning workout ✅
    - Early to work for parent meeting ✅
    - Make frames on lunch break? Half ✅
    - Water! Aim for 2ltr again ✅ at least 1.5ltr
    - Cinema with friends after school❎ we went but the movie was sold out so had a light bite instead

    Wednesday goals
    - morning workout
    - Early to work - finish prepping frames for art project
    - See Head re appraisal and medical appt
    - Water! It’s helping! Keep going
    - Online shop for birthday gifts

    February 2018: 173.6
    March 2018: 179.6
    July 2018: 189.6
    August 2018: 187.4
    September: 186.4
    October: 185.4
    Today: 186.6

    Upcoming to-do:
    1. Develop 5PE mini-unit. Use after JC as a sponge; combine with challenge books. Maybe a comparison with another required text? Have students ask a parent or teacher what the most significant text they studied was, and then create a comparison between their challenge book and that text - which has more value and why? Possibly do the one-sheet as an assessment. Working on this with The Prince!
    2. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun?
    3. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October).
    4. Gifts for dad and DH - look for licorice puffs, cookbook.
    5. Check on conference; follow up on seminar proposal. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
    6. Go to used bookstore and look for Beauty (McKinley), Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman) and The Prince (tr. Tim Parks).
    7. Put jewelry away. Yikes! Reinforce patches on old pants.
    8. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac.
    9. Make plan for classroom observations; ask other teachers about projects or lessons they feel confident about.
    10. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion.
    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.

    I am REALLY struggling to get things done at home after work. I've been able to make myself go to my exercise classes, but then I get home from that and I'm just ... done. I really really need to stitch the iron-on patches to reinforce them and I haven't done it. That's got to be a priority, as is finding my identification documents so that I can renew my passport.

    @Sofia_Alegria - Thanks for sharing that recipe! It looks delicious and simple - and no dairy, woohoo!!! Definitely trying this one soon.

    @clicketykeys - Daylight savings time has wrecked me for these past few evenings. Do you have an international trip planned or just renewing passport?

    @slittlemeister - I need to get a hold of myself at my mums too and its SO HARD. She knows exactly what I cant refuse. My step dad is mostly Keto so she also likes to have an excuse to order out with me or make all the carby treats!

    @reneinitaly7 & @leahkathleen13 welcome!! This thread has made all the difference for me!

    @Faebert 30 kids on your own?!?! Bless you and hang in there!

    @cschmitz110515 You're consistency in prelogging has inspired me to do the same and it really makes a huge difference - swapping things when things change and going with the flow feels a lot easier. Also - sales pressure tactics drive me nuts as well. I have to buy out my lease in a few months and I'm absolutely dreading it.

    @Snowflake1968 Glad you and the grands had a nice trip!

    @HEGoddard0928 Hope you are feeling better!!!

    @AJB1014 More than welcome B) To 1.5 Cups of the Chili I added the tortilla chips (20) /light sour cream (2 TBS) and Mexican cheese (3TBS) for a total of 682 calories. My lunch is my main meal so I have a lighter breakfast and am planning for a lighter dinner as well that way I don't go over my calorie goal . I'm eating my exercise calories for now b/c I want to ease myself into eating less. I like that we have that option. :D
