12th August
Went on a mini trip to Narbonne, an hour by train from Montpellier, with my partner. Met up with his ex partner, who has become a friend of mine too, had lunch with her.
Wonderful salad with avocado and poached eggs.
Then went to see fabulous Cistercian abbey. Nadine had done her back in and walked with a cane, so I had an hour's slow walk! A lot faster when I had to run around to find my partner who wandered off twice - he has Alzheimer's and keeps wanting to find a toilet. It's sad, really, but it would make quite a funny sketch.
I had a shop bought salad when I got home in the evening. Still too hot to cook, but it put me over budget and I didn't have the energy to go for a quick trot around the block, which would have put me back under.
Tracked everything though!
I feel quite enthusiastic about my little art-historical project though; will try and do some writing today. My partner wants more outings and walks. I am trying to balance his needs and wishes and mine ... I don't want to sacrifice myself but also not neglect him.

No worries at all. It’s all good. I didn’t write it for fame and fortune. If the message helps that’s all that matters. Life is so hard right now, stuff like this isn’t even on my radar.

@cjane917 - what a great idea. On busy days I take breaks and try to go for a walk. I don’t always get to go for very long because my phone keeps ringing and I sit to talk. I will walk and talk for now on!
Wednesday, 8/12
Tracking: Yes
Calories: way under - got yelled at by MFP.
Exercise: Yes, 20 minute walk - was all I could manage and a good break. I procrastinated, as is my horrible habit, and now have to squeeze a few weeks of work into a few days to make a deadline.
Pass days to date - 34 -
I wanted to check-in. I think part of developing a healthy lifestyle for me is to have self-control and discipline. Of course, I can't have any of that without being honest with myself. I have not logged in MFP or tracked my food and water since Aug 8th. Had a big family get together on Sunday - the first one this year with coronavirus- and I have been trying to back to normal life since. Just one of those crazy busy weeks, plus getting ready for back to school for my teen.
I tried to go back and log my calories from the 8th to today...but I can't remember what I ate! Of course, I told myself when I didn't do it, that I would remember and I will just do it later. HA! Live and learn, I suppose. Today is a new day, and I will keep moving forward!6 -
@RangerRickL @cjane917 @readyornot1234 Thank you for the encouraging post about the pass-days at the beginning of today's post! I do the same thing of stopping after pass day #4. I am tracking my pass days now, currently, I am on pass day #10 (not doing so good for August ha-ha) but I am going to measure how my pass days decline as my tracking habits increase and become second nature to me. So thank you for that post!4

Today's intro comments very much hit home with me. My bad habits have landed me here on MFP and I am striving to replace my bad habits with good ones that will serve me better as I age. This is more than a weight loss journey for me. I am very glad and thankful that I found this group!
Yes x 3 today. Since I have been struggling a bit with the diet plan for the last few days, I reviewed my diary and realized I have been eating a lot of 'snacky' foods. Today I had 3 solid meals with one snack. It seemed to work a bit better today for warding off those munchie cravings. Happy because I don't know how much will power I will have to fight it off every day! (I gave in 2 days ago.)
@Jana_2020 Great problem solving!!!2 -
Aug 12
-139 calorie deficit (which would be a 14lb loss per year)
Tracked to the gram
Exercised 86 min walking
Now back to what my weight was July 7
Before it jumped up 1.6-2 lbs. 😄
Continuing as I can see now I am healthy but could be a little health lighter.
Thanks team!3 -
