Be "diet aware" (not logging as already had breakfast) yes
No snacking no snacking, until evening....
15 minute morning walk 20 minutes
15 minute evening walk (osteo recommendation) 30 minutes, hard to stick to 15 mins when I like to do a circular route
Admin only did one phone call
Remember the "why"...health! There's more Covid in my area now than any time this year. I want to be slim and healthy. Did think about this
I did well until evening, when I snacked on crisps, definitely a case of eating my feelings, so annoyed with myself. I'd had a letter telling me that my widow's pension is going to be cut from my birthday in a few weeks time. I'd no idea this was going to happen, so it was a shock to find out I'll have less income. My other income is from my holiday let, which is under lockdown again and is closed. Ughh. I'm sure I'll be fine, and eating crisps won't make it better! In fact, if I stop buying crisps, that will knock a few pennies off the food bill lol.

Solid day on all fronts
For Monday, new day. Focus on what I’m going to do different. Finances, career, marriage and family are all solid. I’m disciplined in logging food and activity. I’m disciplined in reporting through this forum. Have to be disciplined in the rest, my diet and exercise. Overall good year, I can keep this going.
1800 calories: 1599. Low but two day average is still high
Work out for 90 minutes: 84 minutes including a 2.54 mile exercise walk
Make good choices. Revisit my “why” when I end work and transition to the evening;Made them all day. Reset my”why” during the work- evening transition.
Support my bride: Easy to do
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. Don’t eat on the couch: Sone, done and done. Self reporting and resetting my “why” made a difference in the evening. [/quote]
For Tuesday, do the things I’m supposed to do.

While staring at the underwhelming results on my scale this morning I realized that what I struggle with most in achieving a healthy weight is not the counting of kj, restriction of "treat" foods, or finding time to fit in a little exercise, but the fact that it just takes so damn long!
*sigh* Why can't I lose weight at the same rate I can gain it? I mean, come on!
Here's to developing a longer attention span4 -

1) log food - b'fast, lunch, and snack logged already. Ijust need to do dinner DONE and even under my calorie goal (I was primarily concerned with the logging behavior rather than the calorie count but bonus)
2) workout after work - DONE not the workout I intended, but rather did some hand mowing
3)work on budget - nope
4) 9k steps - 11500 steps (the hand mowing definitely helped)
Nov 10, 2020
1) log food
2) finish hand mowing

@littleblackskirt Hugs to you! So sorry you are dealing with this.
@SERmom3 To me, all that activity would count as a "workout". You certainly kept moving!

I went to the gym yesterday but that’s all i accomplished on my list. I weighed myself and have lost two lbs. I had my normal reaction which is to eat like crap. I will feel proud of myself for not allowing my binge lead to a purge.
Stepping on the scale always has a negative effect on me. It doesn’t matter if I lose or gain.

I am having a bad time. I keep eating and eating and it’s making me sick and bloated and miserable.
I know binge eating is not a food problem, it’s a feelings problem. I just can’t seem to get to those feelings.

So starting today:
SW Nov 2: 192
1st goal weight: 185
2nd goal weight: 180
ultimate goal weight: 175
weigh in every monday
Todays weight 190.6Nov 1: 192
Nov 2: 192
Nov 9: 190.6
Goals for tomorrow
1. log all food
2. concentrate on drinking water
3.watch inner thoughts ... I CAN get this weight off and feel better.
4. apple in the evening .. and water
5. get back on here. Be accountable
I am so sorry .. I don't know if I got on here, or posted all week. It has been a beautiful week to be outside .. so thats what I have been doing. Today for yard waste .. I had 35 bags of leaves, plus 3 trash cans. I got the entire yard all mowed and flower beds cleaned up and covered with leaf mulch. So by the time evening comes when I usually post.. I am exhausted!
I got all of our outside Christmas lites up also .. and this year I made a display in our backyard. It is so pretty. We figured we would be spending the holidays in our patio room with our daughter. .. and that room faces our backyard. So that is where I concentrated on most of the decorations .. including the globes that a good friend, who passed away last year, had made. And the smaller trees are actually tomato cages .. turned upside down with lites on. (I've since added 4 more tomato cage trees).
Here is a picture:
But I feel good. I am working hard at planning my meals ... tonite I just finished entering "most" of my recipes in a excel spreadsheet, along with a grocery shopping list to try and make meal planning easier. This is where I struggle .. I am always so busy, and meal planning I have never been good at. So .. I am trying this method.
@packerfanin .. you keep mentioning the NOBS weight loss .. so I looked her up. I have watched several of her free videos, and she points out so many good things. So I am trying to do like you are doing .. and listen to more of her podcasts each nite. I learned through weight watchers that no food should be off limit... that I have to learn to eat any foods .. just in moderation. I know all these things ... its just doing them!
So tonite I am sipping on my water ... keeping my commitment to weigh in every monday and be accountable (even though I know this is tuesday!). I may not get on as much during the week .. but at least on mondays for sure.
I will try and read back and see what I have missed .. but hope you are all doing well with your goals!

Hey when will a final count come in for the US election?
Do you find out at midnight or something or is it as soon as either person hits 270 votes?
Isn't this crazy, Bex!! I wonder what the rest of the world thinks of our US elections .. I think this is one for the books. Yes, we do "kinda" know who are next president will be ... but its a mess. LOL!0 -

Happy Scale weight trend ⬇️ 0.6 lost in last 7 days
Today I will have one of my winter traditions. I will light the log burner and open my Christmas edition of Good Food magazine whilst enjoying smoked salmon and fizz. I’ve no idea what Christmas will be like this year (the first without my mum and probable Covid restrictions) but I’m trying not to dwell on things I can’t change.
I remember so well my first year without our loved ones .. my father passed away on Christmas eve.. and every year it is hard, even though its been over 25 years for him now. I will keep you in my thoughts as you celebrate this season. It is nice that you are keeping your winter traditions. With Covid.. so many families will not have the celebrations they are used to having. My husband and I are trying to make this as fun as we can (hence my decorating our backyard for us and our daughter to enjoy).
Hugs to you, and hope you can still enjoy the season.3
