Recap T 1/21 ~ Yippee ki-yay! Finally got up to early alarm (ok, after several snoozes) and did treadmill workout before work. Not exactly my full distance but it's a start. Back in the habit again? hahaha
1) Walked 2.6 mi treadmill + cool down + stretched before work = yay me!
2) Move hourly / pace during noon webinar / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 14,357 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! 36 floors
3) Prelogged everything but supper / net calories zero (yay exercise cals) / 14c water = Net cals -35 close enough! sodium green , sugar green , fiber good, protein excellent & 14c water
4) BC-CC / request email for f/u OAHC mgmt response / contact HD for webinar assist as necessary
5) Evening: boil eggs / put dishes in racks away / massage appt 7:30 / other? started grocery list & organized ingredients for W supper
6) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10:20 I think so (treadmill W before work)
JFT W 1/22
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
2) Prelogged meals & snacks / stick w/ plan & NO snacks after supper / net calories zero / 14c water
3) BC-CC / deal w/ chapter emails / don't let inbox get bigger
4) To-do's: return locker key mistakenly taken home / make white chicken chili / complete meal planning & grocery list / wash dishes / prep lunch & clothes for Th workplace lunchtime hike, including boots b/c we might finally get to snowshoe / other?
5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & no tv 10:00 (x-train R before work)
Last night I had a wonderful 90 min. massage. Because appt. was later than I usually go, it ended later, and I didn't have much down time once home. My body was telling me this morning, no early workout, so I reset alarm. Altered plans, today will now be my 2nd rest day this week, and workout plans decided for Th - Sat.
Have a great day, everyone!5 -
Restarted MyFitnessPal in November and have managed to lose 10 pounds. It feels very SSSLLLOOOOWWWWWWWW. My favorite activity is to read at home. Sadly, I like to EAT and read at home. Any suggestions how to read but avoid the snacks? My goal is to lose 40 more pounds, get happier and stay healthy. Thank you for any helpful advice.6

Maybe drink a warm cup of tea instead of eating. I enjoy the various flavors Yogi Tea provides. I find the various flavors help curb my desire to snack.
Congrats on the weight loss so far!!!!1 -

Log but had to make some guesses.
Stay in the green I think so, when I cook for my mum I have to make small nutritionally dense meals whereas I normally aim for a large meal bulked out with lots of veg.
5 fruit and veg
Water
Fitbit exercise goals
Scale has not moved since Monday - I guess my logging is not as accurate as it could be combined with some impatience. At least it’s not gone in the wrong direction I was trying to bank some calories for the weekend when I know I’m going to be in the red. My Fitbit suggests less alcohol and more water is having a positive effect on resting heart rate.

I'm not sure if I'll use MFP to record my food as I like to eat Paleo/Pegan and the joy of that is not logging. BUT clearly I need some accountability right now for things like drinking enough water, remembering my vitamins, eating breakfast, getting enough exercise. So, we'll see how I approach this accountability.
I did MFP from 2012 to 2016 and then I went Paleo. The think that really made me mad was the amount of days logging. Mine wouldn't be consistent with consistent logging. My days would reset. I contacted MFP to correct my day count and they would. Made me wonder what I did that would clear the day count every thought I logged on a daily basis. I know minor thing to discourage a person, but it does. I logged on last night and a friend that has been on about as long as me has a day count in the 1000's. That could be me if my days wouldn't stop resetting. OK whining session over.4 -
I did post yesterday, but don’t know what happened to it. Also I was locked out most of today.
Another New day! Another opportunity to achieve great things, one step at a time.
The only failure is giving up!

Well if I could have stayed away from McDonald’s at lunch it might have been better. I am having so many arguments with Hubby about food that I don’t even want to try to cook or eat at home. I’m so incredibly proud of him and his commitment to getting healthier but man we are at opposite ends of how to go about getting there.
I fear he’s trying to hard and is going to give up and I think he thinks I’m not trying to help at all.
What a battle, I guess it’s one of those careful what you wish for situations because I’ve been wanting him to care about his health for a good 15 years and he kept shrugging me off.
Tomorrow is another day and I’ll try again to make comments to everyone. I am reading and miss you all.

@jromf Hi. I also love to read and eat. What I had to face, though, was I was doing the 2 together as an escape mechanism—the food (usually but not always junk food) helped “drug” me and the book helped take me away from my problems. I’ve now set a rule that I cannot eat while reading (or watching TV, etc—no media), and I’ve found I’m reading less but better quality. To minimize temptation, I leave my kindle upstairs (we already have a rule in the house that eating occurs only in the kitchen or at the dining table). So maybe set rules for yourself about where in the house you can eat and where you can read...? Good luck, I’m on the same journey of 40+ to lose!7 -
Daily Habit goals: track😁, exercise🤨, journal😁
Wednesday’s Plan:
1. Up at 6, walk, strength train🤨—decided to take a rest day because of a major heel blister. Only allowed once, must exercise tomorrow!
2. Healthy breakfast, no media😁
3. Pack salad, protein, water for lunch 😁
4. Evening: clean out fridge 🤨 —throw away some things. DH promised to eat and clear some of the others but I’m doubting it...
5. Upstairs by 9, journal, lights out 9:45. 🤨might happen...!
6. Track😁 all!
Pretty good day. Another tiny scale win, and good eating day (well below target) although I let myself get too hungry between lunch and dinner. Luckily I had a protein bar in my purse to help stave it off.
Daily Habit Goals: Track, exercise, journa

1. Up at 6, run app, 2 sets yoga
2. Healthy breakfast, no media.
3. Eat smart at catered lunch

6. Track all!
7. Upstairs by 9, journal, lights out 9:456 -
@jromf - Reading is one of my favorite activities too It's also a big part of my job as a writing instructor. so reading and eating can too easily be justified as multitasking. I find that I'm much less likely to do this with paper texts because I don't want to smudge or stain the pages.
I like to make a big pot of tea when I read. Satisfies my mouth without making a mess or racking up the calories. And if it's caffeinated tea, it helps keep me awake!5 -
Yesterday was ok. Got a bit bored at work again and had the urge to eat tasty things. I didn't, but allowed myself a few small tasty things in the evening. I need to find a way of building more fun into my day as I often leave work just feeling very flat. My work isn't enthusing me so after a full day of it I often feel like I need some stimulation from somewhere else. I may try eating lunch with my colleagues to see if that helps.
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the greenb I had a few treats which put me in the red, but still within losing weight territory
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ min lunch break
- Read 1+ career development article
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive
- Finish at 5pm
- Pack stuff for running
- Talk to boyfriend in French Only for about a minute, not enough
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ minute lunch break
- Read 1+ career development email
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive
- Finish work by 6pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Create ‘terms of reference’ for ‘couple night’
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11

Hi all. Had a good day yesterday and hoping to keep up the momentum as we move towards the end of the week. This weekend I have my younger daughter’s 9th bday party which is an escape room and art party followed by a sleepover for four of the girls. Between all the stress of organising, making the fancy cake, all that party food and sleep deprivation from screaming excited girls there are loads of upcoming triggers screaming at me. So the plan is to be super prepared, take any and all offers of help with the physical stuff (I’m not up to moving beds and furniture yet so will have to get help) and stay mindful. Being on track is making me happy. And I want to stay that way!!
