Happy Wednesday all!! How is everyone's week going so far? It's been a rough one for me. My son's sick with the flu and we are getting even less sleep than normal, so we're both grumpy and whiny! My eating is horrible when I'm tired too, it's like I'm constantly eating to stay awake Really hoping this is a short flu!

. I’m sorry to hear your son is sick with the flu. That is no fun!! I hope he is feeling better soon. I love Wednesdays. My kids get out of school an hour early so I get to spend more time with them. The weather is beautiful here today. Warm, sunny and 78. I live in Arizona.

@Fitgirllife72 Thank you!
Wow, I wish I was there! I live in Newfoundland, Canada and we still have minus temperatures most days 😢

Daily Goals: ACHIEVED! 5 personal points~ for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges.
Planned, pre-logged, and plated dinner, except meat. Asked hubby to grill. Yeah!! I didn't eat my lunch- I forgot! So are snack a little early and filled up with green tea.
Tonight seems a little easier. I am having positive self-talk to keep binging at bay. Gum on my nightstand is helping. And warm water, too. I'm in three other groups that challenge me in the areas to keep me motivated!! So far not overwhelmed or feel over committed. I have to be careful to not try to respond to everyone in all the groups. This is the ONE I'm going to call home.
Now the KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Teeth brushed. And in bed. Thursday shows are on...not basketball!! Slumber well my friends.

I for one am very grateful to have you call this one home, you’ve been a huge support when I struggled this week! Thank you!

@tgale - Glad he slept til 5am. Hopefully this next week will be better and you’re able to put some “tricks” in your bag to help with water and good foods when tired. >>hugs<<

@j0d13mcc- Awe thanks. It helps me stay focused. My biggest challenge is making sure I am NOT here 24/7, because I could be. LOL But when I need a mood lifter, it helps me to be here. HOME. Glad I could help in some way. You inspire me by NOT giving in. Love your attitude towards exercise. >>hugs<<

@LilyGrace - How exciting to have hubby time and walking at a community festival. Pack your own water and one healthy snack to keep your hunger and cravings at bay. Then wait until the end of your day to choose the very most desired food truck to you. Maybe that will help!? Let us know your approach and how you did. Let us learn from you. You can do it!!

Okay MFP friends… Time is up. Gotta prep/pack my meals and plate my dinner. Remember… Just for today! Just for an hour! Just for ten minutes. Say… “I can do it!” Stay focused and be engaged in your choices. It’s Friday!!

Daily 5/4

Track- yes
Calories- yes- under
Exercise- yoga, 3km jogging and 10,000 steps
Goal- mindfulness and breathing. I’m starting to get on top of my daily exercise which was causing me some frustration this week. I’ve suddenly turned a corner. I’m feeling a lot better and more positive! Organising my sons 18th birthday party next week so its going to be a busy one. I’m also “going for” a big promotion at work which if successful will see me get a new Director role... very exciting but relies on me being on top of my A game . So here goes guys- preparation starts here! Have a great weekend!

My wi-fi was screwy on phone last night and didn't want to get frustrated.... so I just went to bed instead.

Planned, pre-logged, and plated big salad for dinner and counted out my sweet potato fries to cook when got home. Started day with up early, as the dog had to go to for annual physical, etc. Nothing stressful for me anyway. He’s an old guy - about 12 or 13 we think. He was a rescue dog from a home, not a shelter. Hubby surprised me and took him. Hubby ate before I got home. Glad I had my dinner ready. I was tired and might have just grabbed whatever!! I made sure that I ate all my calories during the day so that I wouldn't be tempted tonight. And it worked, as I almost grabbed and thought… "oh it will be a cheat night." But then thought… "NO, I want that shirt I wore today to be baggy in the fall!" So I was able to talk myself out of it!!

Daily 6/4
