JFT Sat 10th
Update on last night, so I did over snack. But hey, it happens. Miraculously I was still in the green by 22 calories. I did try say no to myself but it was hard not to! Need to be more determined tonight or prep some healthy snacks before I get to bed
Today's goals
- Log all food
- Make room for pizza for tea
- 8 waters
- Go on stepper
- Mindful snacks or better yet.. don't eat Ash's snacks cause his are high in calories. I had some pistachio nuts of his last night and I logged them and was like "oh jeez 😬.. that's hiiigh"
Think that's it for goals... Feel like im forgetting some.
I was gonna walk to dog today but it's snowed over night. The kids are amazed by it but I'm just like "meh" ... It's like 3mm of snow where as I've seen the snow in the US (from pics) and THATS snow.
Even snow from the 90s and 00s in the UK was better than what it is nowadays. We used to atleast get a foot of snow on a really good snow day where you could atleast go sledging and have a decent snowball fight and build a snow man.

Goals for saturday
1. go to gym
2. log all food
3. MINDFUL EATING...
4. no nite time snacking... OR if I do .. grab a apple, orange, or if really hungry, protein shake. Nothing else!!
5. do quick clean up of daughters apartment since she is staying with us a few weeks
6. sew
7. work on taxes
***************************
5 pound challenge .. lost 5# by end of year! Weigh-insTrying to weigh every saturday
November 12: 205.0 ! Yikes. I knew I was up, because my jeans are once again tight. So my goal is to be back in onderland by January 1st!
Nov 18: 207.2 --- the scale is going the wrong direction.. and when I look back, I know why.Its mindless eating of even "healthy" foods like raisins, banannas, nuts, etc. So, that must stop
Nov 26:
217. going in the wrong direction... back to starting weight ... but tomorrow is a new day. too much overeating for thanksgiving, so hoping for a loss next week.
Dec 3: 205.0... back where I started almost 3 weeks ago... not being too successful so far. But my downfall is still evening snacking, and not enough water. Goals for next week: 4 out of 5 nites no snacks
( Failed on this one .. probably managed 2 nites), aim for 6+ water each day (Big fail on this).
Dec 10: 204.8 -- not much, I was hoping it would be more. Goals for next week: 8+ water a day; 4 nites with NO SNACKS in the evening.

7.6K 15 floors 12/14
2) Turkey meatballs & noodles for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
Late night snack of cracker didn't help, but my tummy needed them. Net cals -350, sodium -572, fiber protein carbs excellent, calcium ok, 88 oz water
3) 10:00 haircut/color / lights on real tree / dust dining room chairs ~ all the spindles & curves! / vacuum dining room ~ hubby remarked now downstairs is all clean LOL / decorations on real tree / wash dishes / prep sympathy card / prep Medicare ins premium payment / check DVR / another ta-da? digital decluttering, clear more papers TA-DA!
4) Floss / retainers too lazy / pray / 7:30 alarm (9:00 visitation)

JFT 12/10 Sat. ~ Another dreary day, saw snow flutter down this morning but melted right away. Now just drizzly.
1) Walk dog in afternoon
2) Move hourly
3) Leftovers for supper / net calories zero / >64 oz. water
4) Funeral visitation 9:00 ~ done / decorations on real tree / finance tasks / write 10 Christmas cards / another ta-da?
5) Floss / retainers / pray / 7:30 alarm (9:00 church)
Very glad I went to the funeral home this morning. Although the circumstances sucked, it was good to see Joe, Barb, Kelly & Jessie. I also saw about 10 others (long-time employees) from the old days where we worked in banking, and we all remembered each other. Several in the internal audit dept. where I started my career & worked for 30+ years, others throughout the company's local headquarters, even another one from my old professional org when we were board members together. Joe & Barb were happy to see all of us; even Jessie remarked how she couldn't believe how many from the bank were there. That's because we worked there when working at the company was fun, and we definitely had a work family feel. I finally got Christy's cell # ~ yay! She just retired this summer, and we worked years together, including many work road trips, until she transferred to another dept. We plan to meet up again after the holidays, and I'm so happy about that.

Positives for the day: healthy choices went well for the first part of the day. And I logged ALL my food, even when things fell apart in the afternoon.
I made the mistake of stopping by the grocery store while I was hungry. Ended up buying a box of Ritz crackers and eating almost an entire sleeve of them throughout the course of the afternoon. I was already feeling bad thanks to allergies/cold/hopefully-not-COVID and now i gave myself a stomachache on top of it. I don’t know why I’m my own worst enemy sometimes.2 -

JFT Sat 10th
Today's goals
- Log all food ✔️
- Make room for pizza for tea ❌
- 8 waters❌
- Go on stepper❌
- Mindful snacks❌
Yesterday went right down the $h!tter. I was in a bad mood most the day.
Kids were totally disrespecting me.
I kept my cool with them for the most part. Only when it got really out of hand did I shout. Not that it did any good anyway. I was that furious with them that I actually sat in the room with them til they all fell asleep because to them "bed time" means "playtime". And I was having non of it. I had put off making my tea because I was that annoyed with them. So when they were asleep then I cooked my pizza.
So bad mood led to bad choices, I couldn't get anything done in the day cleaning wise, then to top it off Casey was sick in the night and didn't even shout us or anything! She just went right back to sleep! Luckily she had been sick OVER the side of her bed. And when Marley woke up (like she does everynight) she got up and came and told us. So woke Casey to check on her and she was fine, a little warm but fine and she's okay this morning now.
But ash has just been sick. Everyone's been sick but me 😬 hope I avoid it lol
JFT Sun 11th
Still in a bad mood tbh so I'm gonna keep it easy. Was thinking of when @mytime6630 said the 20%/80% thing. I've realised I do so much better in the week when the kids are in school. I have better focus. So weekends can be my "off days" I won't feel so bad about them if I have a good Mon-Fri. I might even look into "banking" calories throughout the week so if I do F up on the weekend it will still even out over the week.
- Log all food
- 6 waters
- Try to stay in the green
- Clean all the pots.
Sorry for the super long posts 🤣2 -

JFT Sun 11th
- Log all food ✔️
- 6 waters ❌
- Try to stay in the green✔️
- Clean all the pots.❌
Well I rectified my binge eat from the night before, I've eaten too little calories yesterday so I can't even post my diary! Ash was sick yesterday, so the girls have passed on their bug or whatever it is they have to him. He then looks at me and says I bet your next!
Tbh my stomach did feel off. Like slight nausea. But I think with the amount of sick I've had to clean over the last 4 days my stomach was just like no. I had no appetite. Then because I was over thinking about being sick I just decided not to eat dinner. The only way I can describe it was that my stomach felt like it had stopped digesting. Like it was switched off. So I was worried that anything I ate would just sit on my stomach and I would throw it up. So I tried to beat my own body and not eat. Anyway I've not been sick so I guess it worked and I actually feel hungry again.
But Casey and Marley were sick again last night. Honestly it's exhausting!
What I don't get is they're completely fine in the day but sick at night? I had to shower Casey last night at like 2am, I hate it when they're stood there shivering in the shower from being sick.
Anyway they're at home with me today, Sask is in school
Goals for today
- Log all food
- 6 waters
- Clean the bloody pots. It's getting ridiculous now.
- try stay in the green
Good luck everyone for today x 3 -

That’s it for me today. Only got about 5 and a half hours of sleep last night and caffeine is off limits for me - gives me heart palpitations and makes me super jittery.

Bex, hang in there. It seems like it takes forever for the sickness to get out of the house. Especially with little ones. Take care of you! Hugs from across the pond.1 -
Don't think I posted goals yesterday. Went to a party in the afternoon with cookie cake and greasy hamburgers & fries. It was delicious. Had a reasonable dinner, but snacked after and had a couple of drinks. Vodka, not beer, but calories none the less. Also had a party Saturday evening, kept the portions small, but ate too much anyway. Didn't bother to log either day. A third party this afternoon for work, then I can go back to normal. Eye appointment after the party, think I'm going to go with contacts this go around. Have to get the bifocal contacts. They say it takes getting used to, but that they are good. I'm tired of wearing glasses all the time. I'll still wear them most days, but I'd like an alternative for dressy days.

3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~- 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)

- register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K on 10/8/22 (price goes up in Sept) ~ reconsidered due to knees on nature trails with rocks, tree roots & finishing up a very steep sledding hill... have decided not doing this year (maybe ever again = sad me b/c I love trail events)
