@mytime6630 Awesome loss! I'm soo proud of you!
@Snowflake1968 I'm hoping that this upcoming show is more magnificent than you imagine! Good luck!
@PackerFanInGB Feel better soon! But take all the time you need! I know about concussions. Matt has had many of them and now suffers from Post Concussion Syndrome. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. If I don't know the answer or have a suggestion I can always ask him. Lol.
@Bex953172 I hope the babes are feeling better!0 -
I have been missing getting on here ... but really, really trying to watch what I eat. I keep reminding myself of how awful I will feel if I give in and eat junk food. Trying to drink a lot of water in the evenings. Yesterday it was so nice outside ... I walked over 7 miles! Walked for 2.5 hours! Not what I had intended to do ... and my legs hurt so bad when I got back. But .. it was fun!
So ... tonite is a challenge in that I am making cookies !!! But I have my glass of water (and a diet sunkist orange drink)!!!
I finally finished all my christmas sewing ..... 5 tote bags made for ladies, 3 small tote bags for little ones, 3 reading pillows .... 8 embroidered towels! I still have 3 reading pillows I want to make yet, and another tote bag for a friend ... but those can wait. Why I wait until November to start christmas sewing!
Our son loves the decorated sugar cookies, so that is what I am making. then.. hubby... who told me not to bake anything at all this year ... wants chocolate chip cookies! So the chocolate chip cookies are in the oven. Hubby will take these over to a friends on wednesday, and those, along with most of the sugar cookies, will go to Michigan when we visit our son next weekend. I plan on keeping just a few on hand for Christmas eve.
Our daughter is here also tonite... but she is laying down. She had a MRI to find out why she has terrible migraine headaches, but the MRI came back as normal. I think her headaches are a result of stress, but I feel bad for her.
Since I haven't posted my goals... but I have to try and stay accountable.
So my goals for the rest of tonite are:
1. Drink water while baking cookies. Remember, one leads to another! Concentrate on just drinking water!!!
Goals for Tomorrow, Tues, Dec 18
1. log my food
2. go to the gym
3. concentrate on water
4. bake sugar cookies that are chilled ... do not eat any! Have my water to sip on!!
5. finish wrapping up christmas gifts
6. finish sending out cards
7. stay focused. mindful eating
8. remember how I want to feel after christmas .... not to gain, and least to maintain. But hoping to get at least 2 more pounds off before January!

Getting migraines every day at work, having difficulty seeing my computer screen and just plain getting through the day right now. Seeing a doctor at the Concussion Clinic on Thursday so hopefully they'll be able to help me manage this better.
I'll be back on posting goals as soon as I am dealing better with the headaches. I think of you all daily and hope everyone is doing well. (((BIG HUGS))) :flowerforyou:
So sorry you are dealing with the migranes. My daughter also suffers from migraines a lot. She has had 3 concussions, and we think those are a cause, but her MRI came out ok. But so debilitating. I hope you feel better soon. But we all miss you, and sending you lots of hugs!
You are doing GREAT with the Beck techniques!! This is the one that I have been using the most ... to think of the aftermath if I give in to eating. So proud of you! Keep it up!Sofia_Alegria wrote: »I have to say I’m very proud of myself for resisting the Almond Roccas that I bought to give out as presents! I’ve been using the Beck mental techniques and they really work. What works best for me is Imagining the Aftermath of giving in and reading my Advantages to Losing Weight card (I actually have this on my phone for easy access). I’m totally dissuaded by the image of savoring that first bite but going overboard, eating the whole packet and then feeling miserable both physically and emotionally. Works like a charm! OK, maybe having a sore mouth helped a little but I do think my resistance muscle is getting a tad stronger and I’ll take that any dayAhh man I'm getting lazy with this again!
Yesterday we tried pigeon for dinner.
It was rank. Lol I'm not even sure the dog was sure about it!
Thats probably the last time we be adventurous LOL
No being lazy Bex!!! But I doubt very much that you are lazy ... you are just crazy busy!!
I have NEVER tried pigeon ... I didn't think people ate pigeon???? You are much braver than I am!I said yes to a dress!!!!!!! Cant even believe I squeezed into a sample, mine will be here in 3 weeks!
Your dress is beautiful!!! And you look absolutely georgeous and radiant!! Thank you for sharing ... all your hard work is paying off.

@mytime6630 - yippee for another loss!
@PackerFanInGB - wishing you better
@sarah74_vt - 10inches?! You are so brave! And donating it too. What an amazing thing to do.
@Sofia_Alegria - great mindset! You are doing so well
@Bex953172 - I’ve been exhausted just reading about all your sickness battles. Hope the girls are all on the mend x0 -
I had a crazy but productive day yesterday. Keeping busy to distract myself from boyfriend woes and racing to get all the Christmas stuff done while working full time. Nearly there! I went shopping after work and bought all the stocking fillers and a gift for my assistant. Had an excellent day food and fitness wise as well. Reset after a terrible weekend and hoping to stay on track now until Christmas. Annoyed though as my Fitbit strap snapped so I am not getting the mental boost of seeing quite how much activity I’m getting (nor the calorie adjustment!)
Today I am expecting a new belt buckle to be delivered. My annoying boyfriend said all he wanted for Christmas was for his favourite belt to be repaired. If the buckle arrives I’ll head to the shop to get it fitted. Not sure he deserves it as we aren’t talking but hopefully things will be resolved.Otherwise my plan is to wrap gifts, play Christmas music and try and stay cheerful.

Yesterday wasn't great food wise, although it could have been worse. I don't know about anyone else but I feel like every day is a battle not to give into the urge not to just relax into Christmas mode and eat continually. I think this is what happens when you have three Christmas parties when you still have a week to go!
I guess this is where the JFT mentality can really come in handy. Don't think about all the temptations of the next two weeks...just think about TODAY, and what you're going to do within it.
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Be in the green
- 3+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness after each meal
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
- Give myself credit!
- Finish work at 6pm latest
- Read Beck Diet Solution
- Prep for second interview
- Gratitude journal Forgot again
- Lights out by 11
Today will be challenging - at the end of the day I have my team 'wine and cheese' mini party. I'm not sure if I have mentioned before, but cheese is a MASSIVE weakness for me - more than chocolate. The event is going to replace dinner, but there is still a danger that I will consume massive amounts of calories. I will need a strategy to avoid that!
Today's commitments:
- No snacks outside meals
- Take sensible portions of cheese
- Eat slowly
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness throughout
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
- Leave event by 7, absolute latest (6.30 if started earlier)
- 4 bottles water
- One glass of wine only
- Give myself credit!
- Run to work
- 1 hour lunch break
- Interview prep
- Gratitude journal
- Lights out by 111 -
Goals for Mon: Recap

Recap M 12/17 ~ Since roads are (mostly) ice-free, I can walk dog before work/sunrise again... although a little out of the habit of 5:30 alarm, to allow time to don all the layers & gear.
Surprising how quickly that habit fails me ~ maybe b/c I'm really not a morning person?
1) Walked dog 3.52 mi 1:01:31 = happy dog
& happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings (didn't do any over the weekend) = Fitbit 16,521 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 boom! & 62 floors
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / no snack after supper / net calories green / 14c water = Ack! Ack! Ack! Soup & salad supper were not enough so I ate some dried apple slices. Then I made popcorn. THEN I ate peanut M&Ms.
Net calories -638 , sodium -909 (yikes), sugar -68 , fiber & protein excellent, 14c water
4) Evening: put away Schwan's delivery / write cards finally finished 8:45 / wash dishes / maybe decorate (nearly done)
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 (walk dog T before work)
JFT T 12/18
1) Walked dog before work / 3.6 mi 1:05:36 / stretched = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
3) Snacks & meals prelogged / NO snack after supper ~ make sure I eat enough fiber & protein / net calories green / 14c water
4) PA-CA project summarization & folders (maybe during webinar)
5) To-do's: mail cards / complete donations / make chicken salad for hubby / finish decorating / wash dishes / other?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:15 (walk dog W before work)0 -

JFT Monday recap
1. Three waters before lunch, another three after
2. Do 30 minute workout at lunchtime (cut it back to 20 minutes if time restraints)* do it at home if all else fails
3. Log all food
4. Eat packed lunch
5. Cook dinner at home
6. Kind self talk
7. Empty/fill dishwasher
8. Load of laundry
9. Car dealership @ 3
Mom was in the neighborhood of work so we went out to lunch - no workout, no eating packed lunch, I ate shrimp tacos and skipped the fries but still...not my best day and I didnt log anything at all yesterday. Usually I'd go back and do it, but logging restaurant food is such a crap shoot anyway. I could have worked out at home but I decided to call my dad and catch up in my free moments instead. The car dealership visit was frustrating to say the least. I'm buying out my lease because I'm way over on miles and I like the car - buying it keeps my payments close to what they are now. They did the whole "let me check with my manager" gig for an hour and a half only to fear monger me into thinking that my math was wrong and my payments will be way more than I was planning for so "why dont I just get a new lease anyway!" I finally had enough and left, checked my math and checked with my credit union - nope, my math wasnt wrong and my payments will be the same as I'm paying now...I was annoyed when I was in there but figuring that out after had me livid. TOM still due to arrive and I think its stress that has me late but I'm gonna pick up some dollar store tests just in case! I'm a ravenous beast either way so trying to keep things reasonable today.
JFT Tuesday
1. WATERS
2. Eat packed lunch

Hi to All.
I’ve had a miserable day. Apparently, my gums had a severe allergic reaction to the materials used in the impression mold for the crown that I’m getting done. That’s what’s caused all my being “under the weather” feeling that I’ve been dealing with the past couple of days. I went to the dentist today at noon and he cleaned it (fortunately it didn’t hurt) and I have to use a special rinse until things clear up.
I decided not to work out this morning so that my body could focus on healing. I can only eat lukewarm or cold foods b/c the heat aggravates it. I had a huge portion of frozen yogurt after lunch and it helped but my poor mouth is hurting. I’ve logged my food journal but honestly, I just wish this to go away so that my life can go back to normal. My poor mouth is so sore!
I’ll try to leave a couple of minutes early from work and get to bed also early so that I can rest up and hopefully tomorrow will be a new day.
Hugs to all. I’ll read posts tomorrow if my mouth lets me.

You know what, I think something like that can really put you on a downer! I'd rather break my arm I think! Atleast id be able to eat and stuff.
I think when something can affect our necessities like eating or drinking or even using the toilet it can be awful.
I hope you feel better soon x2 -

Morning all. Up early and sitting in the peaceful dark thinking of all the things I have to do! I know it will all come together in the end but sometimes I wonder if Christmas is really worth all the running around that precedes it! I must take some time this year to be present in the moment - watch the joy of my kids and remember what it’s all about!
Yesterday was a bit of a food disaster but I know why - just too tired and busy to take proper care of myself. Today will also be hectic but I’m going to try and make time for proper meals for a change.
Last night I built the desk my daughter wanted for Christmas all by myself and have it hidden away (going to wrap the box for her to open on the morning). Very proud of myself but unfortunately I dropped the pieces on my foot and my ankle is sore this morning. Hoping I can still work out as usual but we shall see...

Total Total failure today ... or I guess I should rephrase that. I choose to eat a bunch of cookies, I choose to eat some candy to relieve my stress ... it was all my choice. Doesn't help that I just baked oatmeal, chocolate chip, and decorated sugar cookies... all within hands reach!
So for tomorrow, I will choose to face the problems facing us, and not give into that junk food.
Our daughter thought her computer had a virus... she gave out her bank number to someone ... who has been taking over $50.00 every month out. We are trying to figure out where the money is going .. finally today she tells us this. Its like she is a child, trying to live as an adult. So stressful evening... as I am trying to talk to her, and she will not listen. The 40 yr old adult voice tonite ... then the crying ... then the child again, letting us know what has been going on. She said 2 withdrawals were made last week... but she doesn't know what they are for. OMG!! Now she does not want to go with us to see our son ... she is choosing instead to just sit in her apartment alone. Again ... saying that serenity prayer ... but boy, I sure wish I had the answer as to what to do!
So my goals tomorrow are simple.
concentrate on drinking water
healthy foods
mindful eating ... food is not the answer.

I don't really know why I bothered making goals yesterday, I pretty much just totally ignored them!!!
Yesterday's commitments:
- No snacks outside meals
- Take sensible portions of cheese
- Eat slowly
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness throughout
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
- Leave event by 7, absolute latest (6.30 if started earlier)
- 4 bottles water
- One glass of wine only
- Give myself credit!
- Run to work
- 1 hour lunch break
- Interview prep
- Gratitude journal
- Lights out by 11
Today I WILL be better - fewer temptations to deal with. I am having dinner with my friends tonight but it's in a pub and let's face it, I go to pubs all the time so there is no need to overdo it. I will make a strategy for not going overboard and stick to it!
Today is also my second interview. I'm feeling a little nervous but I'm also feeling a bit like, as someone said (I think possibly @Sofia_Alegria), if it's right for me then I will get it!
Unfortunately I also seem to be coming down with a cold. I'm going to dose myself up with drugs (paracetamol/ vitamin C) and hopefully it will go away!
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Make and stick to food plan
- 3+ bottles water
- One large water for every alcoholic drink
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness after each meal
- Differentiate between hunger, desire and craving
- Give myself credit!
- Train home by 22.45 latest, ideally 22.15 or even earlier
Big hugs to everyone who needs them at the moment, including @mytime6630 @PackerfaninGB @Sofia_Alegria @Faebert as well as everyone else who needs them who I haven't mentioned. I've been a bit rubbish at replying to others' posts lately - things have been a bit overwhelming with interviews and work restructure - but I think of you all a lot and am rooting for you even when I'm not posting much.

Loads of luck for today @slittlemeister! Totally agree that if it’s meant to be it will be! And either way make sure you enjoy your night out x1

Big hugs @mytime6630. I would not call your day a total failure. You were there for your daughter, which is the most important thing. You’ve recognised the choices you’ve made and today will be better. Your goals sound good - I’m rooting for you. X1 -

@slittlemeister I pretty much ignored yesterday too.

JFT Wednesday
1. Log all food
2. Do not eat sweets in the breakroom. Seriously people, stop bringing in delicious cookies!
3. Go to the gym this morning
4. Drink 150oz water
5. Do not cancel doctors appointment tomorrow. I have an appointment with my weight management doctor and even though she says I should still come in if I’m not doing well, it still feels like a huge disappointment when I go and that number hasn’t budged or has gone up. I’m trying not to have many expectations since it’s around the holidays.1 -

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" at thrift stores.
2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. 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. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
3. Find out if a second masters pays the same as an EdS (email HH). Revise Machiavelli Prince Analysis - Part 1 paraphrased explanation, Part 2 quote & leader choice & explanation, part 3 reflection. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook.
4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener
6. 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). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.

8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
9. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
Well, I graded until 10 PM and I didn't get to the final exams. That's gonna HAVE to be today, along with the late work. Gonna try to get some laundry put away before heading to the Y.1 -
You know what, I think something like that can really put you on a downer! I'd rather break my arm I think! Atleast id be able to eat and stuff.
I think when something can affect our necessities like eating or drinking or even using the toilet it can be awful.
I hope you feel better soon x
Thanks Bex! It looks like the gums are starting to clear up but my body just feels awful. A coworker brought me a Gatorade b/c she said the yuckyness is probably in part from being dehydrated. I'll see if that helps; if not, then I'll have to go home early and get in bed. Pretty much the only thing that I feel like doing.
@slittlemeister thinking about you and your second interview.
JFT 12/19/18
HYDRATE to see if this helps and I can get back to my workouts and normal routine
Hugs to all!
