@PackerFanInGB -good luck with MRI. Best advice I ever received before having one (and I have had several), is to close eyes before going in tube and don't open them until you come back out. I usually do counted breathing too (helps me relax).3

@packerfan good luck w/the MRI. The prior advice about close your eyes is good, slow breathe in down to stomach, hold for couple counts and release slow. Focus on mental picture. I had one couple years ago. You can do it!
@nlmackey You do such a good job of being in the now, moving forward, positive.
@jacqui congrats on your new grandbaby!! they smell so good.........
@bex whoop you're sounding feeling good
@maryrobinson gonna be looking for your post tomorrow about how the day went, you're on a roll
@kaihunter45 what are you abstaining from?
@snowflake those pictures look like so much fun! Your caitlyn is so blessed to have you.
@hegoddard 3 mos of testing & no dx is beyond frustrating. I too am praying for resolution for Matt2 -

Kindof funny. Can't count how many times this weekend I opened the fridge looking.5 -
Morning all, feeling good today as I managed a run this morning. 10k and not super fast but I’ll take it as it’s been less than a week since my injury. Something is up with my Garmin and mfp though - it’s registered it three times on my exercises and given me three times the calorie burn - if only!!
Hope everyone is well. @PackerFanInGB I’m thinking of you and glad you’re a bit better. I’m sure the MRI is daunting - try and stay calm. Ooh and I found the ring last night!!! Was taking to my mum on the phone and confessed. She mentioned that it is the anniversary of my grandma’s death this week. Went and had another look in the drawers thinking maybe it fell into the box of baking parchment. It wasn’t there but it had fallen into one of the other drawers! Was like she was looking over my shoulder 💕

Tomorrow morning is the brain MRI, which I'm seriously nervous about...not because I'm afraid of the results, but because I'm claustrophobic and they are going to put a cage over my head so I can't move. That scares the bejeezus out of me. I'll be fine, but it's making me nauseous to think about it.
I had two MRIs before my operations, didn't really like those myself. If it's like mine, they will give you music to listen to. I chose classical for relaxation - if you can choose your music so it's something you like that may help! If it's like mine, you will be able to see the outside world by glancing down at your feet. I found keeping on looking at that helped me feel better. Hope this is possible for you, and helpful!

Very busy day today so keeping it simple. My Dad is coming out for an unexpected visit and it's stressing me out big time. He always comments on my weight and even though I now am weighing less I just hate how much he focuses on my looks. I don't want my children to hear that message. Although, luckily, they are tweens and barely listen to what adults are saying nowadays. Thankful to still be busy as we get into summer-hoping to get all my current clients under contract by the end of June so I can relax a little in July/August as I have vacations. Thank you ladies for giving me a place to come and just write for a minute and meditate on my day and feelings in the moment. It's so helpful to me.3 -

- Log everything I eat Almost let shame stop me, but I logged that tablespoon of icing... butter, shortening & sugar. Sounds gross, but tastes oh so good.
- Don't eat junk just because it's there This has been a real struggle since the beginning of April
- Stop eating when full Not an issue
- Drink at least 1L of water before soda (Why did I quit this??)
- Protein (15g Protein/3g Sugar) bar for breakfast (For some reason I had stopped eating breakfast... cue afternoon binge) I really don't mind these and my office is stocked. stupid to skip it.
- Check in on my JFT Family. I've been a little self-centered lately. Sorry y'all. Y'all rock!
- Get final account information together for my dad's estate. Still waiting on the Death Certificates. Now I wait.
- Work on PPE Matrix at Work No but priorities changed so I was still productive
- Lunch <300cal. Standard lunch salad with chicken breast 1T of dressing. NO EXTRA CRACKERS OR TREATS! Got wrapped up in work and skipped lunch
- Go for my 2 mile work walking loop. (Why did I quit doing this?) Kept wanting to quit, but didn't.
- More work on PPE matrix See above
- Home by 5:00 4:45
- LAUNDRY. I've let this get behind again. Just didn't feel like it
- Go for a 3 - 5 mile hilly walk. Distance will depend on timing and needs of the family. No excuses, just tired and didn't feel like it
- Dinner within calorie allotment, going back to eating half of what I used to think was normal. (This always worked well. Why did I stop.) Actually just ate a bowl of sodium, I mean Campbell's soup
- No alcohol. My weight always goes up when I drink in the evenings. The drinks have calories and they make me think I need to snack. Easy change with a big impact. Super proud of this one. Can't tell you the last time I watched a hockey game without having a beer. Confession: If the Bruins had tied it up and gone into OT, I'd decided I'd have one.
- Lay out clothes to go to the gym in the morning. Go even though I'm afraid people will look down on me. Sad pulling out the bigger workout pants again, but the smaller ones roll and give me a segmented look. I did it though.
- Get up early and go to the gym for the first time in over a month. So kept trying to talk myself out of this.
- Get ready and try to look decent for work. No ball cap today. I tried & I did fix my hair.
- Protein Bar for breakfast when workers finish in my office
- Check in on MFP folks
- Work on East End capabilities chart
- Lunch 300-400cal
- 2 mile walk
- PPE Matrix if EE is complete
- Home by 5:00
- Actually go walk this evening
- Actually do laundry this evening
- Dinner within limits
- Lay out clothes for gym
- Bed by 11:00
Positive thought: Two months of poor choices can be turned around with one good day. Take the path to being your best you!
Yesterday was really good. I hit most of my goals and I'm at peace with the 2 I missed. This morning was rough. Goal was 50-60 minute workout...
My alarm went off at 3:45 AM. I hit snooze and pondered not getting up. Alarm went off, I talked myself out of getting up and reset the alarm for 4:10. At 4:10 I hit the snooze again. I laid there realizing I wasn't going to get up and go to the gym. Then I got really disgusted with myself. Knowing that my reason for not wanting to go was pride. I didn't want to be seen this heavy. I didn't want to be seen struggling to finish my cardio. I didn't want to be seen lifting such small weights. Still I laid there. Then I turned the alarm off and decided I had to stop the negative self-talk. If I wanted to be my best me, I needed to start today. No more putting it off.
My best me is fit and eats well. My confidence is improved as is my energy. Frankly, I'm just more fun to be around, and I'm a better example for my girls.
I got up and I got ready. Again I thought "You can't do this, why try. Go back to bed." Again I pushed down the negative and got in the car. The whole way there I wanted to turn around and go home. I've done that before... I got to the gym and I did decided not to do my "favorite" cardio, the Arc Trainer, and just do the recumbent bike. I just wasn't sure I could do it and the negative vibes kept me from trying it. Oh well, 20 min cardio is done. I should go home now and skip my planned weights. Ok, suck it up and do upper body. Chest/Biceps: Had to lower my weights more than I thought (32 min). Damn. Call it a day. No, just do dips (38 min). Wow, I'm a little queasy. Call it a day. No, just do back (42 min). Everything is harder than it should be. Serves me right for taking 2 months off. Skip abs and go home. No, just do the chair. Wow, that was awful. I couldn't finish 3x10, $h!t! Just go home, you are a failure. You can't do what you could do. That's stupid finish the ab workout even if it isn't your best. (55 min).
Thank God that is over, but I'm glad I didn't give up on myself today.
Day 1 of a healthier me. Tomorrow maybe I'll try the Arc Trainer and do legs & abs.

@nlmackey98 - I think we all have that mindset, that the weekend comes, and we just eat what we want. But that is life .. sometimes we need to do that. I am learning that this is OK, as long as we get right back on track .. which you are doing
Thank you for your encouragement. I'm sure it started with a weekend, but unfortunately, I've been sliding since early April. I'm not sure what triggered the fall, but it came hard and fast. Oh well, today is a new day filled with new choices.
