I had to chuckle when I saw the post about no scary movies or documentaries. .. I am the same way. Hate halloween, and scarry movies! Also loved the post about the flavored water. I am trying to drink more flavored water ... I seem to get my water in better if it has a little flavor to it!
Yea, I've noticed I don't stress out as much if I stay away from scary movies. I'll never watch a horror film. For some reason they just really scare me as I'm watching them, and the effect can last for days. Some people say "hey it's just a movie!" but my brain doesn't know the difference! I really don't need any more anxiety right now with what is going on in the world. And yes, regular water is just so boring that the only way I can have enough of it is to have some kind of flavor to it!4 -

Gratitude Journal
I missed posting goals yesterday somehow.
I thought I had.
@cschmitz110515 - I let weather dictate my mood as well. I think that’s fairly common.
We have had a couple of rainy cold summers, hopefully next year is better.
@silverpl2525 - I’m with you! No scary movies for me either. Funnily enough though I love true crime shows.
@littleblackskirt - I’m so sorry about your parents, that is so difficult. Hugs to you.
I did some cleaning yesterday and have to do some more today. I’m not feeling 100% though so may just be lazy.

Thanks ladies for the kind thoughts. I didn't get round to posting goals today, but I logged everything. I'm 200 calories in the red right now, I walked in the morning, not decided yet whether to go out again tonight.
I didn't scoff the rest of the things I bought yesterday, just one small piece of cake.
Good things from the weekend - I didn't buy chocolate, which I would have in the past, I've finally realised I don't need it. Also, I will eat the cake and crisps I bought, but slowly and logged, not mindlessly. I don't think crisps will ever lose their moreish-ness though!

I’ve been trying to cut back on alcohol but did have a whisky this evening. I’ve been good all week so I’m ok with my indulgence. I’d like the scales to agree with me; tomorrow’s weigh in will be after a week of concerted effort!2 -
JFT:
No weighing myself. Going to aim to do this weekly.
Flavored water always available.
Stay busy doing non-stressful stuff
Food: Salad/dressing, ham/mustard, fish, mushrooms/broccoli, some stevia soda OK
No dairy, no "keto bars" or "keto cookies". Save my keto bars for food on-the-go.
Wake up to alarm tomorrow
No scary movies or documentaries
Spend quality time with husband

Not had the healthiest weekend in the world, we had a friend to stay for the first time since covid and, perhaps because it was such a very special occasion, ate and drank rather a lot! We had a lovely time though, was so good to spend some proper quality time with a friend face to face.
Now feeling rather tired, think the rich food /alcohol potentially lowered the quality of my sleep somewhat. Also, the darkness..... It's rained all weekend here and is not at all light when we wake up now, which I think has a big impact on my energy levels.
As such, have failed to go for a run on getting up this morning as planned, but am lying in bed drinking a coffee instead.... Will have to go for a run after work instead. This means I will have to finish work promptly, as it's getting dark earlier again as well! I can see problems getting exercise in ahead..... Will have to think about how to keep getting it in despite the darkness.
Anyway, today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Stay positive
- Read emails at intervals only
- Go for run
- Keep catching up on emails
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Make lunches
- Do monthly resolutions
- Lights off by 11
