I'm glad you came back!
Thats ALL you have to do to succeed. The first main thing is to be accountable and keep trying every day.
My motto was Strive for progress, not perfection.
So yesterday I only had 4 out of 8 waters. Today if I get atleast 5 in, it means I did better than the day before.
Even having 50 calories extra thab the day before.
It helps me see the little things that are putting me in the right direction rather than the whole picture3 -
Wow so busy yesterday. @mytime6630 would be so proud!
@Toaljasa - Welcome back, I've been thinking of you. Sorry for your son's loss, it is so difficult to deal with over and over. That video really resonated with me today when I watched it.
@AJB1014 - Sorry to hear about hubby's work dilemma. I understand fully how you feel about having to hold it together. My husband has been out of work more often than not since 2009, the economy here in Alberta has just never seemed to pick up consistently since that time. This winter will be a challenge as we will both be out of work at the same time. I feel for you you about holding back tears at work, I have had too many of those days at my last job.
@Faebert - "Pants Day" I haven't heard that expression before, do you know the origin of it? I love hearing how old sayings and wives tales started.
@Bex953172 - I have been so impressed with the Grands, they haven't touched the tree really since they helped put it up. I don't know if it's hubby or me, but we have never had children in our house that touched things they weren't supposed to. We did have one friend who has a son one year older than our Grandson, she talked to her kids in the most annoying way. "Now Starshine, you know you shouldn't touch that. I'll just move it out of your way" No discipline to speak of. One day they were visiting and the son at age 18 months or so, was putting rocks from one of my decorations on food trays set out for snacking. She didn't seem to want to do anything about it, so I put the decoration at the top of my china cabinet and sat him down from the table. I turned around to do something and turned back around and he had climbed onto a chair, up onto the table, to the bottom part of my china cabinet and was trying to reach the top! They have not been invited to my house since. I just couldn't handle it! Do you have candy hanging on the tree? You have piqued my curiosity.
@jeschepp - Good for making a dent in your Christmas shopping. I have my Grands almost completed, I need one outfit for Jonah and a toy for Michaela. I have my youngest daughter's main gift bought but that's it. I need to get at it. I have decided I am not sending to my brother and his family this year or to my Sister in Law and her family. I think they will all have to understand that I just can't afford it. I am going to buy a nice card for my In Laws and for my Mom with some pictures of the grands printed off in them. I will probably do that at lunch time today. Hubby has finally given me an idea of what he wants, now I just need to research it.
@slittlemeister - Good job on figuring out you just felt like eating and ignoring it! I struggle with that one every single evening!
@PackerFanInGB - So sorry to hear you are suffering from a concussion! They are terrible to deal with. Hopefully you start feeling better soon and can enjoy the season and your walks. I hope your work issues resolve themselves soon.
@cschmitz110515 - Snowshoeing at lunch! What a great idea, I haven't been on snowshoes since I was a kid and used to go all the time with my Grandfather. Thanks for the memory!
@Caseyloupuckett - Good for you for posting on a bad day. I post the good, the bad and the really bad because it keeps me accountable. After a few days of bad, it reminds me I am giving into poor habits again.5 -
JFT - Wednesday December 5
2L of water -
1.5 - I forgot to drink at work yesterday while I was working on my ornaments. I find it so hard to get it all in in the evening.
Calories in Green
Over by 248
Only 1 Evening Snack - 2, but I thought about it before having the second and genuinely felt hungry
5 something at bathroom break - I don't know why I'm even putting this on here
5 fruit/veggie - 2/5
Walk 1 mile - The grands stayed later last night than usual as Lauryn was working on printing out iron on transfers for their family pj's. Last year she made new pj's for all 4 of them. Hers and Michael's matched and Ryan's and Jonah's matched. She is making some this year as well, this years are Mickey and Minnie themed tops. After they left I did some painting because Rodger is way ahead of me on burning ornaments!
Write in Journal -
Be Conscious of my choices! Do not disappoint myself! - I think I'm doing the best that I can do right now. I have no extra minutes in the day for exercising unless I stay up late and I'm tired so.... Next week I should be able to squeeze in 45 minutes a day for exercise no problem!

I am SO far behind all the posts again ... and again ... starting over. Its been an extremely emotional week, but thankfully I am swamped with not only work, but sewing projects that I need to finish up for Christmas.
SO my goals again are simple .... back to the basics!
1. concentrate on water water water!! Remember how good I feel when I drink water.
2. remember food is not the answer. rest. call a friend. sew. listen to a calm app. Do anything besides eating
3. work on tote bags -- 3 more to go
4. help hubby. Work has been crazy busy. Be kind. He is also stressed out.
5. plan meals ... makes it easier when the meals are known ahead of time. Time to find those crock pot meals
6. read beck diet solution
7. listen to podcast

So glad you came back and posted. I find when I have bad days, those are the most important days to post. It is easy to post, and have all the smiley faces, and feel great because I've know I had a good day. But this is a lifelong lifestyle change, and the habits that got us in trouble are the habits the hardest to break. It is hard to get on here and admit that the day did not go as planned. But thats the thing about this site... when you have a bad day... people on here are so quick and encouraging to remind us that it is just ONE day. That tomorrow we can do better. And the most important thing is to never give up. So please keep coming back .. no matter what. We are like family here .... and the most amazing "friends" on here. It is truly one day at a time!2 -
cschmitz110515 wrote: »12/5 W ~ Today will be an up and down day... this morning I will attend the funeral of a retired former colleague of nearly 20 years. We kept in touch occasionally, I know his wife and all 3 of his kids, now adults of course. It will be sad & hard, but I'm hoping to see other former colleagues there. That will most likely be followed by a luncheon put on by the church ladies, so no idea what I'll be eating. This evening is the usual gathering of another group of former colleagues, with adult beverages & food at a pub I've never been to too (sorry English teachers!). I previewed the menu online & it looks amazing, more choices than normal pub food. Looking forward to this, but again, no idea how I'll log food. I will not fret over net calories today & try to drink plenty of water.
)
So very sorry for your loss. Losing a lifelong colleague is very hard. But what a nice time to reflect and celebrate the life that was lost. You are always so food at prelogging and reviewing ahead.1 -
Okay so I'm reinstating my motto from 2017..
Strive for progress, not perfection.
So with this in mind here are my goals
- 8 glasses of water (or more than 4)
- Be in the green
- Exercise (a short one is better than nothing)
- Tidy up! (finish off from yesterday)
This is my goal as well .... strive for progress, not perfection!3 -
Greetings MFP's ! I hope all is going well for you and in your parts of the world. I've not been on here for a while but know that I think of you often.
.
OMG -- welcome back! We were all wondering how you have been ... and missing your positive, encouraging posts! So happy to see you back. But, so sorry about your sons miscarriage. I will never forget the day I miscarried .. a very sad time, and like you said, so hard to see your children going through this. Hugs to you. And again, so happy you are back with us!
And love the video .. thanks for sharing2 -
So many posts ... I'll try and read through more tonite to just get caught up. But love you guys! I hope we all have a great day today!2

I'm so glad you DID post today! I personally think it's the days that I was the naughtiest are the days I need to post the most, so I remind myself what I want to do different today. Doesn't mean I do anything different, but it is a daily reminder!
And I think it looks like you did GREAT! You actually accomplished 2/3 of your goals! That's fantastic! That 0.2 lb gain today is probably just sodium which will wash right out of your system today if you drink your water!
Good job!1 -
