    Good day on Sunday and a solid week overall

    For Sunday, there are things I have to forgo to get the things I want. Exercising self discipline, moving my decision making process into a conscious process is important. Finish the week strong.

    1800 calories: 1674 for the day. 1872 for the week
    Work out for 80 minutes: 86 minutes for the day, 8 hours 12 minutes for the week. 2.62 miles for the day, 14.67 miles for the week. 2640#, 330 crunches, 96 push ups, 240 lunges
    Make good choices: Made good choices and stayed under my calorie goal for the day so I could stay under the week
    Support my bride: Got a little grouchy after my walk. I can do better
    Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged:We were off on our dinner schedules and I ate on the couch watching football but exercised self discipline. Bride is feeling better so we went for a shade longer walk after dinner

    For Monday: Do the things I’m supposed to do

    1800 calories:
    Work out for 80 minutes:
    Make good choices and exceed use self discipline:
    Support my bride:
    Eat at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged:

    Good morning to all and to all a good day. Well I have to have a good day. I will get this thing right. No reason not to I have a big pot of veg. soup ready. And I will start with having a bowl of that for breakfast why not. No one said it had to be breakfast food. Any food will break the fast. So on to a good day. What will make for a good day staying out of the kitchen. But I need to put down tomato's and can't do that watching tv. lol.

    see you all lighter

    Hey guys! It's been a little while. I've been battling a killer cold. I'm off from school today for a Jewish holiday and IT'S MY BIRTHDAY so I'm able to stay home and rest some more. Lol. I'm going to go to the doctor today to make sure it isn't bronchitis. I'm a bit worried it is because the mucus I've been coughing up is yellow. My mom always said that that's the sign of an infection. Lol. We'll see.

    Turns out I'm not pregnant. I took the test yesterday morning. :'( Matt's incredibly depressed about it. I really thought I was since my flow came almost a week late. It's really disappointing but I think Matt's having a harder time dealing with it then I am. So I'm going to call my doctor this morning and set up a consult which is the first step to seeing the fertility specialist. Matt's convinced that it's his fault I can't concieve. He had an injury down there when he was a young adult man did a lot of drugs and alcohol before he met me. I think we simply don't have enough sex. But to make him feel better we're going to get tested for sterility. Is that even a word? Lol.

    Your mum is right, yellow is a sign of an infection. But yellow is an okay colour. So is green i think!
    Google what colour mucus is not okay lol! I always do it just to make sure. But even though yellow/green is a sign of infection. Its an okay colour.

    I feel so sorry for you and Matt. Not in a pitiful way, I just want the same thing you want, for you to get pregnant! Everyone does!
    Although I must admit, I never thought of it from a man's point of view, I hope matts okay, its not his fault even if there is something not quite right with him, like it wouldn't be your fault if there was something not working with you

    When my brother and sister-in-law couldn't conceive they did start with fertility tests (you were close with sterility lol) so he will have a sperm count and tbh i cant remember what they did with my SIL. I think she had scans so they discovered she had endometriosis and polycystic ovaries i think it was.

    Look atleast youve both realised something isn't working and you just need to figure out what that is and they can either fix the problem, assist you in getting pregnant or if there's nothing wrong you can both relax and get under the sheets a bit more!

    My sil had problems but now she's a mummy to lovely twin girls! Its possible, it might be harder for you, and that is tough in itself. But you'll get there. Just hang tight x

    JFT M 9/28 ~ work in office day

    @bookmeister86 - I have worked straight through as though nothing has been wrong but have lots of friends who have worked from home. It's been interesting to hear how different people have coped, some love it and hope it continues for ever, others like yourself, thrives on the in office atmosphere.

    @ZizzyBumble - Nice to see you back

    @littleblackskirt - In my husband's family Tracey is used as a male name in several instances. I was the first female Tracey. Now that other branch of the tree has a granddaughter with the name since there was no boy born.

    @HEGoddard0928 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you aren't too sick, does that mean you can't go to work since Bronchitis has some symptoms of Covid? Fertility issues are so painful for so many, but there is so much that can be done now that couldn't in the past. Good Luck. Also, DISHWASHER? Are you ignoring it, like you did the dishes?

    @cschmitz110515 - Congratulation for finishing your goal early.

    Everyone have a great day!

    I hope you all are having an excellent start to your week

    How do you get over a depression/frustration slump when you gain weight back?
    I lost 5.2 lbs my first week, but had a rough time this past week and gained 2.6 of it back. I’m trying to stick to my goals, but my mind is just not in it right now. It seems so easy to pack the weight on and so hard for me to lose it (thanks to PCOS and a crappy metabolism). At least I lost another .5 in at my waist despite the gain...

    Monday 28 September

    Sorry I’ve been missing for most of the last 3 months. I have been reading some posts and feeling some guilt about my attitude. I’ve just not been motivated and have made too many excuses. Time to change now especially as clothes are getting too tight! Time to return to healthy habits and renew my acquaintance with food and bathroom scales 😀

    Log :)
    Stay in the green :)
    5 fruit and veg >:) - need to go shopping!
    Water :)

    Best way to get lots of veggies is with a big pot of soup. And it is so good in this chilly weather.
    Fruit is easy just grab one and eat it.

      Well, yesterday was a bit of a fail. I had online games with colleagues straight after work and that has often been a trigger for overeating as going straight into that means I don't have space to mentally unwind after work. The games were also quite frustrating as they just took forever and weren't very motivating as we were just losing very badly. And as a result I had a bit of a mini binge. Not particularly impressed with myself.

      Today will be better. It hasn't started well. I didn't sleep amazingly so when the alarm went off I did not go for a run as planned (didn't help that it's a lot darker in the mornings now :/). But I am going to persevere and have a good day anyway - eating well, having an alcohol and junk free day and then hopefully having better sleep as a result.

      Yesterday's goals:

      - Be in the green >:)
      - Go for walk at lunch :)
      - Talk to boyfriend in French >:)
      - Do laundry (so much of it to do following holiday!) :/ Completely forgot last night, it's on now!
      - Sort through post :)


      Today's goals:

      - Log everything I eat
      - Be in the green
      - No alcohol
      - Stay positive
      - Read emails at intervals only

      - Go for walk at lunch
      - Pick up new glasses
      - (Dinner) Talk to boyfriend in French
      - Get on top of emails
      - Watch Bake Off!
      - No watching TV in bed
      - Light off by 11

      Hey everyone, hope y'all are doing well!

      I'm new here, I'm not exactly sure how this works but I've been trying to lose some weight for a long time but with barely any progress. I figured I needed some extra motivation and help and here I am.
      I would really appreciate help in achieving my goals. At this point they seem a mere dream. I've been pretty lazy I think and have procrastinated quite a bit. Maybe this will help me achieve what I wish to.

      My goals for today 29/9/20
      - Clear Mail
      - Cycle around
      - Catch up on Studies
      - Eat healthy
      - Sleep by 11
