Today:
[*] Stay under maintenance calories - I was way over yesterday (brunch, cake, pizza, beer), and have already eaten my calories worth of those leftovers today. So I'll aim for maintenance today. We were planning on a bike ride tonight, so that will help too.
I managed to cut some parts for my tomato cages and start to get the bigger ones caged up last night as well. (My biggest tomato is well over 6 feet tall!). Glad my husband dragged me off the couch last night to do this. Need another trip to the hardware store, since I'm out of materials!
Today:- Pre-log most food today
- Hit calorie goal (+/- a little)
- Yoga break this afternoon

Gotta do something to get focused so maybe this will help.
1) Track my food today - re-started tracking yesterday..done
2) Get some cardio exercise - elliptical 5-6 minutes (I'm just starting)..nope
3) Do laundry...done
4) Clean kitchen...done
5) Make a pot of spaghetti sauce for my sister and her family..done
If I accomplish these things today - I will be mark today as successful.3 -
My goal today is to keep everything in perspective.
I have been letting the stress of everything get to me so much this week that I have pain in my back from it.2 -

Finish the dishes.
Make the other white pizza and put it away.
If I can get this headache to subside, I'll fix the toilet, but I don't want to do it for the first time with a migraine. We'll see in about fifteen minutes where we're at with that.1 -

Epic fail on the organisation front yesterday it was so warm and humid yesterday that when I got home I more or less showered and lay on the bed next to the open window until dinner and then just sorted some laundry out. I've still ignored the tents and the other housework.
Today will not be much better as I am out for dinner this evening.

Success! I pre-logged, which allowed me to maximize my calories. Had plenty of filling protein, didn't feel the need to snack after supper. Fell asleep on the couch lol, then made my way up to bed by 10.

- Pre-log calories again

Another day I'm glad I pre-logged. Hit my calorie goals, wasn't hungry, and did some afternoon strength yoga. It felt good.

My goals are for the whole weekend since I will be at the scout campout
1. log as well as I can. Going to be a lot of guessing but its about portion control.
2. Do some exercise each day. Not going to be much of a problem.
3. Do something I usually sit out on (kickball, frisbee, ect)
4. get my tent up in less than 30 minutes. This is a huge accomplishment. First time camping it took over 3 hours and eventually someone took pity on me and finished it.
5. Try to enjoy myself. I HATE camping lol.3 -
So far I have prelogged my food for the day, got the sheets changed on the bed, including new duvet covers on the weighted blankets, and done the patching work to the plaster in the bedroom where the electrician did a flat patch on a textured wall. So I had to go over it and retexture. That'll be dry by tonight, and I can work on the other spots I need to patch today and tomorrow, and then next weekend I can get out the paint again and paint the patches, and then the rooms will look MUCH better.2

Prelogged my food. Yesterday I had to fight off cravings for the first time in several weeks, and while it wasn't fun it wasn't challenging either.
Make an effort to move more and sit less, within the standing budget.
At the end of the day, have all the dishes done.
Laundry done, folded, and put away.
Set up tea and coffee for tomorrow morning.

It rained this weekend, and I didn't get as much done outside as I had planned. Instead, I went through 6 partially filled boxes of clothes, and sorted into keep/sell/donate piles.
I pre-logged Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday...but then best friend came over again and it all went off the rails. We just snacked a ton. I ate so many chips. And ate apple pie (from home canned apple pie filling made with my mom's homegrown apples). I went hugely over calories, and for the first time in a long while, felt super uncomfortably full. It was not pleasant. Turns out I don't enjoy that feeling anymore! But today is a fresh start, and my weight is somehow not even up after yesterday's sodium- and carb-apalooza. Made some huevos rancheros for a late breakfast/lunch, have a honey dew melon ready for a snack, and will do some pasta and shrimp for supper.
Aug 17:- Afternoon yoga
- Pre-log meals
- Close to calorie goal
- Print packing label to ship the dress I sold
- Avoid work anxiety

I walked 1.8 mi. today. It’s more than I walked last time, but my goal is to build up to 2 mi. I’m putting pressure on myself to reach this goal. I need to see myself doing it. I do. I just don’t know when. I guess I should increase my distance with baby steps. A little bit at a time. But I do want to get there. Maybe soon. Dare I be too ambitious?!1

We got the screens for the sunroom back and installed, and we took a load of stuff to the dump while we had a truck.
Tonight's goals: Dust the floor of the library. Break the cat's heart by breaking down the boxes first. (grin) Make tea and set up coffee for tomorrow. Do the dishes.2 -

My goal today is just to log what I eat, even if I don't meet my daily calorie goal. I tend to stress out if I go above my limit and just stop counting since it makes me feel guilty. The problem is my body will accurately count the calories even if I don't put them in the app! I need to face the reality of what I'm eating instead of shying away from it. I really want this to be a habit and long term change, so I don't want to try to do too much too quickly and get overwhelmed.5

My anxiety is super bad today (feeling on the verge of a panic attack all morning), so today gets an easy to-do list.- Drink some water
- Log my food
- Sleep as needed
- Take meds as needed
- Do something purposeful to relax/distract (anything from tv to biking to a craft).

My entire life this week is one giant panic attack5
