Just had to share-call with the recruiter went super well!! At the end she said “I’m excited to work with you.” Next step is interview with the lead psychologist. Honestly it sounds like a great fit and I am so excited!!! Thanks everyone for your support and putting up with how much I’ve talked about this!9

US biscuits and gravy is pretty gross...it is the kind of food sold at gas stations. Most Americans have never had a biscuit that did not come out of a cardboard tube.
It's actually savory bread and savory gravy, so not quite as strange as it sounds to the British ear.

Not sure about (late) supper again. I eat better when I plan meals. Weekly soup suppers at church not helping, hubby & I have been eating out on weekends more than usual, and I'm just not in the mood to review recipes or fix meals. Winging it lately has not been working. Sure wish hubby cooked, but he has other attributes.

Hi hi fellow motivated/ing individuals! Just discovered this awesome thread and am pumped to join in for some much-needed accountability. Let’s crush these goals!
JFT March 9:
1. >= 100g protein
2. >= 1510 cal
3. 2x stretch sessions
4. Test run 1 mile (no more)
5. Ice -> heat my shin 2x
I’m an amateur triathlete who started her first full-time job last September — and I’ve been figuring out how to build a healthy & balanced lifestyle in this new environment. I let myself go up several pounds in favor of focusing on other things that are important to me, but I can’t wait to kill the shred game again and be amazed my physique.
Thanks for the support
*waves*
I'm also struggling with the work-life balance. I am a former athlete and do great with diet and exercise when I am working less or working from home. However, I've made a major career switch in the last couple of years and am back to working full time in an office environment now. I really struggle with having the time and energy to properly take care of myself outside of work.
I am training to walk a half marathon, so maybe having a goal and some focus will help.4 -
Dang! This community is alive and thriving! So many posts since yesterday; I’m amazed 😍

1. >= 100g protein - Yes
2. >= 1510 cal - Yes
3. 2x stretch sessions - Yes
4. Test run 1 mile (no more) - Yes

Happy Tuesday all! I need some sort of accountability, even if it's just coming in to make a post once a day! I've been on and off the wagon for years, and just got back to school and did what I swore I wouldn't do, put on another freshman 15 (more like 5 but still, my pants are tight again) so I need to be kept accountable!

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - UpdatesI definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.Daily Goals
03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.- I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
- 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
- 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
- Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise
- Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’. You decide your own calorie goal.

Do. Not. Panic.
Today went pretty well. I've just got one piece of prep left to do tomorrow. Wed are a slow day sales wise and while I'll have some stuff from our rep on the road, it's not going to be unmanageable. We are going forward with the event on Sunday, Covid -19 and all. I suppose we'll find out if this was wise or not in the next couple of weeks. Best news, the new washer was installed and while someone is doing a load now, let them be the guinea pig.

@Bex953172 - Biscuits and gravy...kind of like fish fingers and custard
But seriously, homemade from scratch biscuits and gravy can actually be pretty good. My mother-in-law made the best biscuits! So light and flaky that even a Yankee like me would eat them. The gravy is made by frying up a bunch of breakfast sausage (preferably a little spicy) and making a white pan gravy from the drippings. I learned to make them for my husband who grew up south of the Mason-Dixon line. (It's mainly a Southern thing.) Not pretty, and definitely not low calorie! I only make them a couple of times a year. The biscuits are a pain and never as good as my MIL's, but it's worth the smile I get from my DH.6 -
@jeschepp - So glad to hear your phone interview went well. And good for you getting to bed at a reasonable time!
No goals today This week has been sort of a mess for me. Too much to do and not enough time, especially since I've had to work on adapting all my lesson plans and materials for online instruction in the event of an sudden Covid-19 shutdown. We're trying to get through this week and will most likely continue courses online after next week's Spring Break. I don't mind teaching online, but getting everything set up on short notice (with some confusing directives from different offices in the college) is not fun.
My trip to NC is up in the air too. DH and I just decided tonight to cancel our flight and drive down so we have more flexibility. We also don't want to risk getting stranded out of state if the airlines ramp up their flight cancellations or someone on the flight gets sick and we get a self-quarantine order. Of course, workplace or local directives for any one of us, including my son, could put the kibosh on the whole trip. In the meantime, I'm trying to put the house in order and figure out what to pack. The stress is undermining my good intentions and making me tired and grumpy
So...maybe I'll shut down the computer now, have a glass of wine, and head to bed. Then sleep in tomorrow, skip the gym, and walk outside after class to breathe a little fresh air and restore a little serenity, even if it's only temporary. Tomorrow, I'll try to get back on track with goals and my sleep schedule. And hope for the best!5 -
@kathsk53 - what part of Canada are you in?
I’m also in Canada.
I agree in biscuits and gravy not being good, I do know what it is though I have travelled in the States a bit.
@Bex953172 - I was 18 when I moved to Toronto from small town New Brunswick. I only had three stations on tv growing up and really didn’t know a lot about the world. Anyway, one of my bosses when I started working was from England. She calls me and asks me to “knock her up in the morning”. I didn’t know what to make of it. In my teenage mind, knock her up meant her her pregnant. Lol

Went and had my eyes tested tonight, it’s been about 2 years since I had them tested last time, about the time that I started on this board.
Anyway my wonderful new benefits makes glasses so affordable! I ordered a pair and should have them in a couple weeks.
Sorry I can’t find time to respond to everyone, I am reading religiously though.5 -

Slept in this morning and didn’t run—used the excuse I didn’t feel great today. Still stayed under calories. Worked at home per guidance from work...thought it would save me the commute time but I still put in 10 hours! It was nice to take a break at lunch and water the garden, though. But I totally lied to myself that I would take a break and get my walk in...did not happen. Tomorrow I will get up and run!

@jeschepp So glad you had a great phone interview!2 -
Well, yesterday was rubbish. I had thought it wouldn't be that bad as all I had to do was sit in meetings. However I hadn't factored in:
- People sending me urgent emails demanding I do things urgently whilst in meetings, thus meaning my mini breaks between meetings were taken up dealing with that rather than getting refreshed
- How draining it would be rushing between meetings with no break whatsoever!
Got rather overwhelmed, particularly as the rest of the week looks little better so I'm worried about getting things done. However I need to remember that:
- I can only do what I can do
- it is not my job to compensate for the fact that my company is badly managed. If things fall apart, it's not my fault
- Things will get a little better after this week - next week looks less crazy and I am getting proper rest this weekend
I did end up eating more than planned in the evening but stayed in maintenance. Amazingly, I lost a pound in my weekly weigh in. According to the numbers I should have maintained only, but I lost. Not quite sure how that happened but I'll take it! I feel like there are three possibilities:
- it's fluctuation
- I overestimated the calories I consumed (I ate out a lot)
- my maintenance calories are higher than I think
I will keep tracking and see what happens!
Yesterday's goals
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions No time due to meetings
- Positive affirmations
- Finish work at 6pm
- Pack stuff for running
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 30+ min lunch break
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Positive affirmations
- Finish by 6pm
- Walk to pub
- Train home by 10

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’. You decide your own calorie goal.

It’s my mum’s birthday today; my brother is cooking the main course (chicken in a creamy cheese sauce) and I’m doing the dessert of fresh fruit salad. I hope that I can stay in the green!4 -
