    Thursday:
    1. Log food- I am just now logging the day's food. Wants to log as I go to be more mindful!
    2. One sweet only- opps, ate half a choco taco, a few m and m's and 4 mini candy bars
    3. Drink water- 1/2 to goal
    4. No snacks between work and dinner- no I messed this one up, and did a little emotional eating!!
    5. 10,000 steps- I will hit this before bed, sitting at 8,268 right now, I am planning to get up and walk while watching tv after I finish this.
    6. Dinner out make choices and log everything- well I ate not great food, but I did only eat half and saved the other half for later.

    Tomorrow's goals:
    1. Log food as I eat
    2. Pizza for lunch only one slice!
    3. Drink water at least 8 glasses
    4. 10,000 steps
    5. Limit the sweets no more that one serving!!

    I find my days start out with high motivation, but as the day goes I get weaker and weaker and start wanting to bend the rules!! Trying to be mindful of my goals.

    Hi! This is exactly what I was looking for! I hope I am posting correctly. This is not topically something I do but I need extra support; and a way to commit my food/goals. To have ‘someone’ to check in with to see if I was successful. I thought it too big of an ask for just one friend. 🤗 Thank you for being here

    I'm so glad it's Friday
    Tomorrow I can sleep all I want LOL

    Yesterday my partner went shopping,he had to pick up Saskia from school midway through because when I tried to walk there Marley just point blank refused to walk further than the road and then didn't even want to walk home so that was a pain.

    So he finished the shoppibg with her, and when he came back with loads of extra stuff I knew she'd used her daddy charm lol!
    But we sell some American cereal over here (Lucky charms, froot loops and reeses?)
    She saw the froot loops and wanted them instantly so he got them her. She was so excited for them this morning..for both her and Marley to hate them LOL

    So now they're mine :D I love Froot loops.

    Not sure what I'm doing today. Feel like ice left my brain somewhere anyway lol

    4. Try to slow down and take each thing as it comes at work.

    The cake will be going to Michigan with us ... give it to the grandsons and our son. He'll love that!! Yes, I know they mean well, and no one wants to spend a lot of money. It is the thought that counts .... and so nice of them! But does it have to be sugary stuff!!!! Well.... I am going to return the favor LOL!! The candy my neightbor gave me ... I am going to the dollar store and buy little candy bowls ... and thats what they are all getting. Returning the favor .. right! :D

    @HEGoddard0928
    Tooth fairy was a success.

    We sang the tooth fairy song "tooth fairy tooth fairy, can you hear me? I have something here that you'd like to see!"

    Tbh I made it up on the spot and was well proud of myself lol felt like a lyrical genius!

    Anyway yeah I folded a pound coin in some paper with a note in saying thank you for the tooth, well done for keeping them clean and here's a gift in return. And I did the handwriting all swirly and drew stars everywhere.

    Great idea with the note and song! Did you hear about the Dad playing tooth fairy while he was drunk and giving 100 instead of 1? I can’t imagine making that mistake!

    Good Afternoon Sisters... I love you💕
    I have been sick since Saturday night. Virus.
    I'm not over it completely, and my body has
    been weakened down because of it. I couldn't
    even keep water in me. No worries though....
    LMBO😂😂😂 I AM QUEEN OF MY PORCELAIN
    THRONE... And all subjects bowed down gracefully
    to my weapons, which brought about many sprays
    and attempts at ending the lingering affects of the
    countless blasts I ripped upon my throne.
    Ahhh yes. It is but I, Queen Smellyquin.

    Hopefully you feel all better now and have lost your Queen status for that category!

    Recap Th 12/13 ~ Don't know why but kept hitting snooze alarm this morning. At least I realized sky was getting lighter and I got up in time to get to work as usual. No dog walk before work anyway, with snow and freezing drizzle yesterday, which then froze over night. Our street is all icy again & it was VERY foggy this morning on drive to work. Last night was tricky just getting my car up the driveway and into the garage, had a little slipping going on.
    1) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories green / 14c water = Ack! Ok all day, then snack attack of peanut M&Ms late evening. Oops. Net calories -349 :s , sodium -1,022 :s , sugar -41 :/ , fiber & protein excellent, 15c water (yay)
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 11,649 steps, 250+ 12/14 (webinar) & 30 floors :smiley:
    3) Workplace mindfulness hike at lunchtime ~ leave on time (charge phone before) = Almost late b/c on phone with Help Desk trying to resolve system issue for webinar access, so high stress. Grabbed coat & went down one floor when I remembered my phone on the charger and had to run back. But I arrived exactly on time, and it was the BEST medicine to release stress. Being out in nature, being in the present & letting go of the crap that was out of my control. We walked .92 miles (walking app) and 135 calories (Fitbit). Happy me. :D

    So yesterday was a total bust. I’m just going to leave it there and move on. It’s currently 3 minutes to 10(UPDATE! 10:43). We’ve been at the branch less than 2 hours! I don’t know how I am going to make it through the day! It doesn’t help that it’s dark and gloomy out. They are calling for some rain and maybe some snow flurries. It’s one of those days that I wish I was home under a blanket with a cup of coffee and a book. I keep getting side tracked by staring out my big window next to my desk. All it is is the main drag in a downtown section of the town that I live/work in. But I’m so bored that my mind wonders off. Lol. Today is going to be better though! The DH has a PT appointment today. He dropped me off at work today and then is picking me up again at the end of the day so that I can speed him to the appt. Dinner probably won’t be until after 7. I have to ask him if he can see if we have tomato sauce so I can make my Skillet Lasagna recipe. It’s really yummy and we haven’t had it in a while. I also didn’t bring anything for lunch because we don’t really have any fresh leftovers that I would feel comfortable eating. Lol. I think cleaning out the fridge is on the agenda for this weekend. I am running out of clean food containers.

    So I am going to stick to my plan and order a salad for lunch. If it is a large one I will only eat half. I want to try what do the “Don’t be afraid of being hungry” that @Sofia_Alegria did yesterday. I used to do intermittent fasting but I’m used to drinking so much coffee in the morning that it was hard for me. I think I might try it again. It wasn’t that hard for me but it’s been so long since I’ve tried to fast. I know it’s been more than a year. I know that I can’t do it tomorrow because we are having a catered lunch by a Title Company that works with our Loan Processing Dept in the back of my branch. Maybe over the weekend. I don’t tend to eat too much during those days.

    @Bex953172 I hate it when sleep is illusive! Have you tried taking Melatonin. I have the quick dissolve 5mg ones and they put me to sleep pretty fast but I wake up just fine. I’m not a groggy mess or anything like I sometimes was when I took prescriptions sleep aids. Was the Tooth Fairy quest a success?

    @slittlemeister Good luck with the party. I’m glad that you have two people to keep you accountable! That definitely helps!

    @toaljasa I agree with you on both accounts! I was describing this group to a coworker and I told her that it was a bunch of women and that we tend to scare the men away. Lol. And I would put the candy in the car or give it away as gifts. Let other people enjoy it. I know I definitely wouldn’t. I would just feel guilty.

    @TimeToReduceFat I’ve always wanted to try stevia. How does it taste? Is it anything like sugar? I like sugar in my coffee. Not a lot but I want to try it before I commit to buying any.

    @Faebert Have fun at the party. It’s always hard to host one. And that’s a lot of people! I hope your house is big enough. Lol.

    @PackerFanInGB Yay for great days! That is awesome! Remember, motivation will dwindle but discipline is what keeps you moving forward. That’s my problem. I don’t have even an ounce of discipline in me. Lol

    @Snowflake1968 That’s great! With all the stress from the ending of your job, you should be proud of that loss!

    @HEGoddard0928 : Stevia tastes “slightly” different from regular sugar. But I got used to the taste.
