The good: Made time to work out. Stayed on track through dinner. The bad: Didn’t walk and snacked on the couch
For Saturday, celebrate anniversary and keep things on track for Monday’s weigh in.
2100 calories: 4122
Work out 80 minutes:38 minutes
Make good choices: Through dinner, made good choices. I know the couch with TV is an issue but fell off the tracks anyway. Tough to write this out but obviously not tough enough to stop myself
Support my bride. Married for 28 years today. COVID has had me working from home since March. This is the longest I’ve gone without traveling. She has always supported and loved me including my weight: She always supports and loves me. Overlooks the little things I do and supports me in everything I do
No commitment on the couch today: Ugh

For Sunday, put in the extra effort to finish the week strong. With a little work I can set 2020 high points for time, miles, weights, crunches and push ups. I’m committing to make it happen.
1900 calories. Week won’t be good due to Saturday but I can make today positive:
Work out for 1 hour 45 minutes:
Make good choices:
Support my bride:
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. DON’T EAT ON THE COUCH:

I met my goals on Saturday and I’ve lost weight!!
What I’ve learned since joining this group is that consistency is key. Small reasonable goals that I can actually meet.
I’ve been surprised that even though when I complete my diary it says I will gain, Ive been losing. Tracking makes you pay attention and that helps
Log everything
Eat only one serving
Exercise every of only for 10 minutes
Everyone have a great Sunday!2 -

1st goal weight by Nov 1st: 184 (new goal is now 189 -- since only 1 more week left).
2nd goal by Dec 1st : 182
3rd goal by Jan 1st: 179 -- 178 is my 1st goal weight (I am 5'11" tall).
Todays weight 189.410/1: 189
10/2: 189.

10/13: 187.5
10/23: 190.6
10/15: 189.4
So goals for tomorrow, again, will be simple
1. log all food
2. stay within calories
3. mindful eating
4. concentrate on only water in the evenings... I have to stop the nite time eating! This is my biggest obstacle, and where I probably eat the most calories I mixed some crystal lite into a pitcher of water .. I think I drank TWO pitchers of water last nite. But ... it kept me from snacking!
5. get back on here. Stay accountable.
JFT, SUnday, 10.25
1. log all food
2. eat lite lunch .. since had a bigger breakfast
3. mindful eating
4. concentrate on drinking water in the evening
5. get back on here . be accountable

Great goals .. and you did a great job. I need to put down the part about only water after 7pm .. nitetime is my hardest time. Also I liked the idea of eating only at the table .. I forget how much that really does help ... to stop and eat slowly and pay attention to what we are eating.1 -

I hope you all had a great weekend.
Even though today was my "cheat day", I ended up doing about 15 minutes of cardio because I have been slacking all week. I'm very worried I'll see a weight increase tomorrow instead of a decrease. I've switched from 11am-7pm to 10pm-6am shifts, and so the last few weeks of training and getting adjusted have been tough for me. (48 hours the first week, and 44 this week) I'm only just starting to find this new rhythm.
Does anyone have any tips about working overnights/being a night owl? I feel like sometimes it's harder because things like MFP and my Fitbit are adjusted to a "normal" day...so I'm just kind of lost on how I should be tracking things. Also, any tips about trying to keep weight off while being a night owl. I'm trying not to eat within 3-4 hours before I come home and go to bed, and trying to make sure I drink plenty of water.3 -
Hey everyone, just popping in.
A lot has happened since I was last on here.
I've moved out my house. Were still on the tenancy,not actually handed the keys back or told the association that we've gone.
After our wingmirror got kicked off the car by the neighbour we then overheard them 2 day later on our drive discussing damaging the car again (to which the neighbour said "no hes got a camera on the house")
Ash told me and we made the decision to get out, I think we were chatting till 5am then got up at 8am and started packing the essentials.
We went to his mums, it was okay but unfortunately his mum was too poorly to have us there and she had an operation (which has now happened last Thursday and she seems to be doing well) but she's now in 2 week quarantine and it just wouldn't of worked out. It ended in a big argument (also now resolved) and we just left there too.
And now we're living in a caravan on my parents drive... we can obviously use the house whenever we need like cooking and washing. We use the van to just sleep and chill out with the TV.
Which is okay but I still find it hard living with my mum. We just butt heads constantly except this time I have to be nice and just deal with it because I'm not exactly in a position to start arguing with the last bit of help.
She just seems to disapprove of everything to do with me lol
So the old house is kind of temporary storage for now. Although moving the last bits out soon then handing in the keys.
Its allabit crazy and I feel sick most days from it but only way is up right?

I feel like I need a good kick in the butt right now. I was doing so good with losing weight, and then I had to shift my focus to rebuilding my business and moving the office so I stopped tracking or even eating well. As a result I am gaining weight. It’s so frustrating. Today is my first day back to my full time job from maternity leave, and then after work I have a meeting with a community board I am on and then a client for my business. It’s going to be a long and full day, but I am going to do my best to make smart and healthy choices and to track my calories. I am going to work out as soon as I finish my coffee, and I may be able to sneak a walk in at work today. I’m going to get back on track and hit my goals.
So, Just for today, Monday Oct. 26,2020 I will:
•Work out
•Go to work
•Community meeting
•Client
•Track all food
•Walk?
•Set up 3 interviews for SFP for this week
•Be kind to myself
Wish me luck!

@littleblackskirt - How’s your back?
@Bex953172 - yikes! Sounds like you guys had to make some tough decisions, but you’re doing what’s best for your family. I hope it all gets sorted out soon.
@inkynelle - I think you can adjust/rename the categories in your diary. I remember seeing people change it to a time of day instead of breakfast.
@ZizzyBumble - weight keeps trending down. Nice work!
JFT MONDAY:
- Log food / stay green
- No chips or snacks
- 10,000 steps
- Dance and soccer for the girls
- Library pickup
- Get house back in order after the weekend
- Meal prep
- Complete paperwork for fundraisers
- Virtual chorus rehearsal
I’m encouraged that the scale went down this morning. I want it to keep going in the right direction!
***NO CHIPS OR SNACKING IN OCTOBER**
Earn a leaf 🍁 for each day I complete without one bite of chips (crisps) or mindless snacking! 🤐

@SERmom3 my back is not good yet, I still can't straighten up fully and everything I do is painful and slow. I'm very frustrated with it, I'm missing being able to go for a walk! Going back to osteopath tomorrow so fingers crossed.
@TiffanyPe17 wishing you luck today, you sound very busy. You should be proud of yourself that you're managing so much with such a small baby 4 -
Great day and a mixed week. Gained .6 #
For Sunday, put in the extra effort to finish the week strong. With a little work I can set 2020 high points for time, miles, weights, crunches and push ups. I’m committing to make it happen.
1900 calories. Week won’t be good due to Saturday but I can make today positive: 1740 for the day, 2120 for the week. Was under 6 days but off the rails on Saturday
Work out for 1 hour 45 minutes: 2 hours 8 minutes for the day. 2020 high of 9 hours 25 minutes for the week including 2020 highs for miles at 18.30, weights at #3360, crunches at 450 and push ups at 114
Make good choices: Made them all day
Support my bride: Easy to do
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. DON’T EAT ON THE COUCH: Dinner at the table, unplugged but chose not to stroll after dinner. Didn’t give in to the couch
For Monday, keep the focus on doing the right things. Trust the long haul.
1900 calories:
Work out for 80 minutes, find the time:
Make good choices:
Support my bride:
Eat dinner at the table, unplugged. Don’t snack on the couch:

Makes me sad to see so many struggling. Hugs (virtual of course) to everyone!!!
JFT M 10/26 ~ rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / net cals zero / 14 cups water
3) Work in office day: to-do list / Facebook Live 12:00 / keep up w/ emails / AJNH progress

Yesterday was a bit scattered. Went to church in a.m. & pastor had very good message for me to hear. After, car wouldn't start. Luckily had phone w/ me so called hubby (he sleeps in due to 2nd shift work schedule). He came to my rescue & realized one cable to battery had worked loose. When new battery was installed in Sept, the battery guy didn't connect exactly correct or tightly, and cable eventually disconnected. So glad that's all it was! Easy fix for hubby, then once home he finished the job with proper tools. That shot the entire morning.
Afternoon walked dog 3.85 miles and did 3 loads of laundry. Made spinach spaghetti for supper. Much busier Sunday than planned but glad things got done. Hubby time in evening was the perfect end to the weekend.
Happy we walked when we did, because light snow started to fall late afternoon. Grass & trees are lightly snow covered this morning but pavement mostly just wet. Second year in a row when snowfall before Halloween. Very pretty, wish I'd taken photo. But too soon!

5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training

1. log all food
2. eat lite lunch .. since had a bigger breakfast
3. mindful eating
4. concentrate on drinking water in the evening Crystal lite is helping .. except I drink so much of it I am up every 2 hrs!
5. get back on here . be accountable
Realized I did not post my goals last nite. But today I did good again .. of course, it is just 7 ... so the rest of the nite, drinking my water (er .. crystal lite)
Cold, rainy day today so I did not get out for my walk. My walks are shorter because it is so cold out .. I was walking 6+ miles a day, but I am hoping all winter to at least get in 3 miles, especially since I am still not going to the gym. And I'm not really a home exerciser. I tried that with youtube videos ... too many interruptions.
JFT, Tues
1. log all food
2. mindful eating
3. eat lite lunch

5. get back on here. be accountable.
@Bex -good to see your pretty face, but so sorry you had to move. I know you really liked that home, but your safety is what is important. Sounds like some real whaco neighbors. I hope you find another place that you love as much.
