Running a bit behind this morning so just posting some quick goals!bookmeister86 wrote: »
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- 5 fruit & veg
- No alcohol
- Switch emails off when finished reading I did do for an hour in the morning. It's difficult though because I'm working on a project that is behind schedule where I'm always waiting on people to do things, so I need to respond to emails quickly... hopefully when this project is over I'll be able to get into this habit more
- Stay positive
- Go for walk at least once I did, to the opticians, but that wasn't the proper walk I had planned...
- Go to opticians to get glasses adjusted
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Get stuff ordered (dubbin, car phone holder, high viz jacket for boyfriend)
- Laundry
- Watch bake off!
- Catch up on French book
- Lights off by 11 Think it was a little later
Today's goals will be nice and simple:
- Track all food and drink
- Stay within maintenance
- 5 fruit & veg
- Switch emails off when finished reading
- Stay positive
- Date night (following the rules about no phones etc.!)
- Speak to boyfriend in french

Just for today, Tuesday October 6th, I will
• Run necessary errands✅
•Walk❌
•Meet with employee✅
•Market practice and TCT✅
I did not make it out for a walk yesterday, it was just too hectic with the girls and everything I needed to get done. But that’s two days in a row that I skipped my walk, so I need to make sure and get that in today. The baby didn’t sleep well last night, so I have been up since about 3:30 this morning. I am hoping I get a nap in today because the exhaustion is real.
Just for today Wednesday, October 7th 2020:
•Pest Control
•Errands
•Walk
•Newsletter for TCT
•New employee?
•Nap

Yesterday was a terrible eating day, I actually had brought my lunch and then a friend wanted to get Wendy's and I said yes. Then we ate out for supper too. Not only is it hard on the wallet it's hard on the waist. Today I will do better.
@ZizzyBumble - What a beautiful view
@teigansdad - I agree it feels like Thursday to me, and I wish it was.
Well I am at work so should get on with it.
Have a great day everyone.5 -

A nice day yesterday. Went out to a restaurant to eat for a first time for a little while, but was good and just had one course rather than opting for pudding (which I had considered). As a result, stayed within maintenance by some margin (I think anyway - the menu didn't have calories but I logged something I hope was similar in a similar restaurant).

Not to encourage bad habits but I was at a gravel race sponsored by Oscar Blues beer few weeks ago and tried a session IPA named One-Y
It’s delicious and only 100 calories.
Males beer almost guilt free.
