I'm okay with two negative goals. It seems to be working for me. I only think about them after certain cues, and those are fading.

@TerriRichardson112 - that’s a good thought. I’ll have to think about this.
My sweet baby girl called me sobbing a while ago to tell me there won’t be a baby coming. My heart is broken for them. I went through this myself 35 years ago tomorrow. I think this is worse. You want to take your children’s pain away.5 -
@Snowflake1968 I'm so sorry for your daughter's and your family's loss. You are right, it is very hard to see your children in pain.
I'm so annoyed with myself. I lost 3lbs in the April challenge on here, and I've put it all back on again. I'm an expert in yoyo-ing up and down. I don't think my meals are over in calories, though I often don't plan ahead, but I've been snacking on biscuits. You'd think I'd have learnt by now that snacking doesn't make me feel better! I'm facing yet another summer annoyed that I'm still a stone overweight because I can't get myself together for long enough to lose it. Sigh, at this rate I'll be on my deathbed still cursing that extra stone.
I'll have to tackle this in the shop. My willpower isn't strong enough right now to say no, so the biscuits need to not be in my house.
JFT Wednesday 25th May
Stay under maintenance
Only one small snack
Foot exercises
Back exercises
Holiday let laundry (have done the easy stuff, have all the stained stuff left to do)
Ironing
Paperwork/bills
Yet again it's raining and windy, I'm so sick of this chilly weather. I have loads to do in the garden, but I'm not so keen that I'm doing it in the rain, it's meant to be a pleasure!
May Challenge
Week 1 180/150

@snowflake1968 So sorry for you daughters loss..and your families.
I know only too well the pain she's going through too and I agree, no one should have to go through that. It would break my heart if my kids had to go through the same

Have a great Tuesday y'all!
Yesterday work was a drag, I actually didn't have much to do for a change. Okay, there weren't many pressing things to do, though there are plenty of things for me to work on. I was just not into it yesterday. I left early and was going to take a nap, but instead I started separating the clean laundry so V could sort through her piles of clothes and purge that stuff she never wears. That was a huge success. Between she and her sister there are 5 large garbage bags of clothes in my living room waiting to go to Goodwill, and a huge pile of perfectly good shoes destined for others. Heck there is a pair of black Converse that still has tags. I really need to do my closet as well, but I'm not ready to let go of my smaller clothes yet. I dressed really cute when I was smaller.
I was a bit tired and not looking forward to teaching spin, but once I got there and got started, I had a fun time and got a great workout in.
Tonight we are doing date night and playing trivia at the new place (we tried it 2 weeks ago). Its much tougher competition, so we won't win as often, but it will be fun. I just need to limit my intake while I'm there. Like the other, it is like 7:00-8:30 or 9:00 so its an early night that doesn't cause problems with work the next day.
Thinking today may be a half day, I'm just over being here this week and it's only Wednesday...

@Snowflake1968 I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers for you and your family. I hate when my kids hurt and I can't fix it...1

@TerriRichardson112 - I agree that the way we phrase goals for ourselves or for others can affect the outcome. In general, I try to avoid using "no" and "should," which can contribute to feelings of guilt or shame when the goal is not achieved, in favor of wording that emphasizes choice and agency. This strategy works well in the classroom, but it took me a surprisingly long time to apply it to myself.
My brief daily goals on JFT are generally a combination of reminders and suggestions. Keeping things simple and flexible seems to work best for me.
Recap - Tuesday 5/24
Log -
Balanced meals - Relatively healthy choice, but too many carbs.
Hydrate -
Walk - Walked in the park for 76 minutes
Garden - No. Took a nap instead.
Recycling -
Errands (gas, Costco returns, bank)? All except the bank.
Prep and grading -

Yesterday was kind of a lost day. Was busy at work and on camera all morning, so I did not get breakfast until noon. Had a minor but painful medical procedure and decided that I did not feel like exercising. Oh, and it rained, not a great day to work out outside. Good news is that I should be able to swim later this week!

I've had a brilliant day. After days of over eating and eating complete rubbish. I woke up and thought "not today!"
And I've stuck with it.
I've ate healthily. No biscuits, no crisps (god I love crisps). I've kept my meals small and measured.
And I exercised. Like not just random bits here and there. I got YouTube up and just did a short 15 min cardio video. It got my heart rate up, I felt the burn 😅
Only thing I'm lacking on now is water but only because I didnt fill my water bottle up like I normally do. I can still get more in before bedtime.
Tried to find the protein shaker. Got it all but the insert that mixes the protein into the water. So it's essentially useless. Really dont want to get the blender out just for a protein shake.
Might even do another short exercise once my dinners settled and the kids are showered and in bed
Hope everyone else has a great day!

@Bex953172 good job! Sounds like you made it a great day!
I'm down to zero calories and it's only 3:45. I wasn't watching closely enough. I should be good for the day though. A tight squeeze but I can do it! Because I want that scale to be down on Friday!
