Friday check in
food slightly over
water I don't know
exercise 25 min swim (was hoping to make step goal but didn't)

After a day of holding my *kitten* together so I could get through a days work. I was completely knackered (exhausted x100). This is what I learnt - I was able to feel all the anger and upset without food but come the afternoon I was tired and I choose deal with that with food. I also noticed that I lost track of my water. However instead of choosing biscuits (empty calories) I had some cashew nuts in my desk and eat those. Not necessarily a lower calorie choice but healthier. As I was distracted I didn't take a bottle into the classroom so didn't drink as much as I would have done if I was on it. I just about stayed in the weight loss zone so as long as I keep my *kitten* together over the weekend I should be ok. Today is a new day. I have done my food plan and I am reviewing my training schedule for the week. This post is heavy on the swears (cussing) I think pnp is rubbing off on me in more ways than one!.

I feel really privileged to be part of such a supportive group. I may not comment on everything but I see folks facing their own struggles and still showing up for themselves and it is amazing. You guys rock.

@ljdanny we definitely had words curb side and I made sure she knew what she has done. Whether that is enough to get her behaving more responsibly...that is another matter. I will be on her case now though.

Well that figures. I have a cold. The headache yesterday was just the start. Then just for S**** and giggles, i am having a pain flare. I spent all day yesterday on the couch and in bed. I feel like crap and I ate like crap. Oh well, new day. I have to make a menu and prep for the week today. going to make a big batch of cabbage soup.

@Mrsbell8well i don't know if you would call it an amazing amount of energy. I have extreme fatigue most days. i would say i know i got s*** to do so i do it. i would say perseverance maybe better describes it. I decided in january of 2017 that i could no longer just sit around. and ohh yeah! i felt amazing all day in those sexy jeans. the trail you found sounds a little scary to me. you be careful. ohhh no, i am hoping that the suffering for your MIL is limited. I am praying for you and your family. this is a tough time. i am glad you love your new bras. i love mine too. a good fitting bra sure can make you feel amazing.

@pacsnc6 i love water aerobics. I always wanted to put a pool in our basement! lol and what is really funny is that my guy is the same way when it comes to the grocery. he walks 90 miles an hour thru that store.

@sleepymom5 sometimes you just have to rest. just don't let it turn into a backslide. you have learned so much. new habits are hard to form, but you can do this. soon it will just be something you do and you won't have to use the energy on keeping yourself on track. i can't wait for this day.

@Zumba_Luvah ohhh my i am glad you found you grove. keep that up the scale really likes it! good job at the loss this week. i wish you would check in more too at least read the posts, you can get a lot of useful information out of here.

@gottagetthisdown how did you do on your water goal? good job at setting a goal for the weekend.

@carlsoda here in michigan we are having wind gusts and rain. it poured most of the night. the frost isn't out of the ground so the water has no where to go. i am glad your whole30 plan is working for you. i love doing my prep on sunday. it makes my work week sooooo much easier, when the food is ready and i don't have to try and figure it out on the spot.

@kirsten11872 omg look at that loss this week. that is amazing. you body seems to like IF. woooo whooo dancing and giggling for you girl!

@twyla77 starting your day with a workout kinda sets the tone for the day. good job at getting it done. it is so worth fitting it in.

@DananaNanas Dana, you are doing fine. you havn't quit, have you? But you are giving yourself permission overeat. you need to meet yourself where you are at. start with the next 24 hours. make a plan, what will you eat? make the plan totally doable, only put stuff on the plan that you, with 90% certainty, will do. then at the end of the 24 hour period, look and see how you did. celebrate the success you had and analyze your failures. if you had failures on your plan apparently you 90% certainty was faulty. you want to create small successes. they will build over time as you become more confident in your ability to make a plan and stick to it. this will create the momentum you are looking for. you need to commit to the time this will take. spend the time you are worth it.

Now i am running behind this morning because i just layed around yesterday, not saying i didn't deserve it, just saying thats what i did. i have to get moving. sick, fatigued, and in pain. my life goes on and i will show up for myself today. the cyndie that is going to have a crazy week needs me today. monday i take mom to the urologist
then, tuesday after work, i get my hair cut and colored and my eyebrows done, then thursday..... ugh thursday..... i get the biopsy of my girly parts. heres to believing it's not cancer.
