Well i think ive logged everything.
Dinner was a lot of guess work so might be over in cals for the day but after calculating what i thought im left with 26 cals.

I dunno, feeling a bit meh today.
The good thing is ive logged!

Ash has just bought a pizza, crisps and chocolate.
All of which he normally shares.

Great prsctice for saying NO.
But i do really want them.

Going to fill up on water i think.

This week feels like its going on foreveŕrrrrrrrr

Hi Bex, NO is a great word, you can resist the temptation. Sorry Ash has put it in front of you though - I find it's so much easier when food and drink are less visible.

Haha so do i!
Darn him and his fast metabolism!

1. Log all my food(yes, even the ice cream) Even though it was seriously over calories! Damn you ice cream parlor across from the laundromat!
2. Go to the greenhouse at least once I was going to but I ended up taking a nap with Matt. I did take a walk while I was waiting on my clothes to finish though
3. DO THE FRICKEN DISHES! Just waiting for the hot water to come back so that I can do the ones from dinner
4. Put the clothes away/remake the bed I still have to do this but I'm definitely going to! Lol. I just need to finish putting the pillowcases on and the bed will be made. Lol
5. Make the dinner that Matt suggested He wanted Sausage and Rice that I made a few weeks ago. So I made it again and it was less than 400 calories. YUUMMM
6. Bed by 11:00 It's 9:17 right now so I most def will be in bed waaay before then.

Had a pretty good afternoon/evening after I posted that. Matt and I took a 3-hour nap late this afternoon. I guess we really needed the sleep. Lol. I kinda feel like I'm about to fall asleep on the couch.

I got a text from D asking if we were still on for tomorrow morning. Thank God she reminded me because I would have totally forgotten. Lol. I wanted to do a serious deep clean of the whole house tomorrow morning so I'll have to postpone it until the afternoon or maybe Friday. I have a couple of other things I want to do as well. Like update/polish my resume and create a cover letter.

I'm so proud of all of you women! You've all been working so hard! Keep up the awesome work!

Good morning! This week has been a bit bleh. On Tuesday my parents left for the airport to go to Calgary to visit my sister and her kids and husband for 2 weeks. Last week my mom had taken their dog to the vet because she was panting excessively and just acting a little odd. When they got to their changeover flight in Atlanta they got a call from the vet that the dog has lymphoma and likely less than a month to live.

She is only 3 years old and the first year of her life before my parents adopted her was really rough, so I think my mom in particular is taking it pretty hard. They only had 30 minutes to decide what to do before their next flight so they decided to come home. My mom seems fine when I talk to her but I know her heart is breaking and I feel so helpless.

For right now their dog seems mostly normal and like she is still enjoying herself so I know now my mom is regretting not going to Canada but I tried to tell her she did what she thought was right in the moment and I'm sure their dog is really happy to see them because she's not used to being away from them.

Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest, I hope everyone has a great day!

Well, I'm struggling with motivation. 🙄 I just can't seem to get myself to exercise. I plan on it in the morning then when the time comes, I allow myself to feel tired and unmotivated. I've gotta get myself pulled together somehow.

Thursday JFT:

▪Exercise (x1 DVD)

To me: "Just focus on exercising today!!"

JFT--Completed the list yesterday

JFT--6/27
Drink 8 cups of water---done!
Pre-log meals---done!
Exercise
Breakthrough

For the past 7 months I have maintained my weight. If I found myself increasing I would immediately take action. This is the first time I've ever done this and I'm feeling pretty victorious over it! This morning I sat down with myself and had an interesting exchange. I realized if I lose 10-12 lbs I will be satisfied. Any more and it will be like the icing on the cake. I then thought about how relatively quickly 10lbs came off last year. During this time I have watched what I eat, exercised, and drunk water off and on. I still have to do all those things even when I'm not in weight loss mode. But in order for me to start losing weight, I have to decrease calories, meaning less food, and make sure I quit eating by 8 and not start back up until after 8am.

I so much have enjoyed the increased food amount, lol! And I thought, "Well if you'll get it in high gear and get these last few pounds off you will be able to stay in the maintenance mode forever! Just keep that little word on the end of your tongue...NO!"

I'm soooo close! I am digging in and charging for the finish line...and then...


(in moderation, of course!!!)

Peace and joy!

@nlmackey98 Thank you love! I'm glad that you have a new peace. Cling to that with everything you have! Also, read some of the New Testament too. And I'm glad that you are comfortable with your new therapist. That is incredibly important.

@toaljasa Awesome job staying in maintenance for so long! You can get those last 10lbs off no problem! I know it! Lol.

@MLHC1 I totally understand the lack of motivation to exercise. I deal with it all the time! It's been so hot and humid here recently so I can't do anything outside! But I am counting any kind of extra movement as exercise to keep my motivation up.

@snowflake1968 I'm so glad that you got the job and that you are enjoying it! That is so important. I hope that you continue to excel and enjoy it even more. I bet you will be so happy when the wedding is finally over. There is so much work going into it. I bet that your daughter appreciates all the work that you are putting into it. I can't wait to see pictures!
