    @emgracewrites - I too had a bad week last week. Maybe this week will be better for both of us.

    @littleblackskirt - those window glimpses get me too. Maybe I should take a picture and put it on my cupboard and fridge doors.

    @teigansdad - I think you are into something with the water. I used to drink 2L of water a day and didn’t feel snacky. I need to start that again. Like you, I am a boredom eater. It’s sucks because I am alone on the evenings almost every evening. Even when DH is home he’s usually in the bedroom watching shows I dislike.

    @pridesabtch - I would be having my girls check in daily too in your shoes. Hugs to you.

    @more_freggies76 - I don’t know how you do the no cheese thing. I would be much better off if I did that though.

    @Bex953172 - I’m there with you. We can do this!

    @cschmitz110515 - I am the same as you at social functions if I don’t want to eat.
    I have a printer that the ink has dried up in. I’m going to order some new ink off of Amazon, not the brand name. Hopefully it works.

    Under 2k💩
    Trainer ride✅
    Weights✅
    Pay car insurance💩
    Garbage✅
    Cat boxes✅
    8 glasses of water✅
    No food after 8✅
    Log calories✅

    Yesterday was a good day. Although I didn’t stay under 2000 cal, with exercise, I had over 1000 cal deficit. Honestly, I was afraid to go to much more of a deficit than that. I one of the reasons I have a pretty hard work out this morning planned. It’s a short work out, I’ll knock it out before I bring the kids to school. But I knew I would need a fair amount of energy for it and I which is why I hate the way I did, specifically at night, making sure I had enough of a carbohydrate load to fill my work out in the morning. in regards to getting the car taken care of, I forgot I needed to get state inspection first so I had to do that yesterday instead of paying registration. Trying a new car garage, the one we have been going to really has not been as good lately. The nice thing about this place is that there’s actually a city path to it. It’s supposed to be over 70 today so I’m thinking about running from the house to go get the car. It rained pretty good last night, so I’m not sure if the trails will be open for my typical trainer ride in the morning, then hit the trails training day.

    Plan for today
    Less than 2300 calories total (think this might be more reasonable)
    No beer
    10–12 glasses of water
    Trainer ride
    Weights
    Get a run in … on way to pick up car
    Re-caulk upstairs shower/tub
    Log all food
    Pay credit card bill
    Bonus… mtb ride of trails open

    Do any of you guys have a protein shake recommendation that has over 40 g of protein but somewhere in the range of 200 to 300 cal?. Oh, and is at least palatable? It’s hard to meet protein needs and stay under caloric restriction when you’re drinking 400 cal

    I thought I did well yesterday in terms of getting enough calories - then I logged my food and realized I actually did horribly. Under-ate by about 600 calories. Appetite just wasn’t there.

    I’m so over this weight gain journey. Other people have done it successfully, so why do I feel like I’m struggling so much more than everyone else?

    JFT Monday 27th Feb

    3 proper meals 2, I didn't have lunch
    Fruit and veg yes, plenty
    Only one small snack 3 I think, skipping lunch was a mistake!)
    Play! of course, although...whisper it...sometimes I'd rather be doing something else than playing!

    Grandson arrived at 7.30am today, so I'm just getting online now. It's past 5pm so not much point making goals. It's been an okay day for food, now just have to think of something easy for evening.

    Tomorrow is the first of March, and I'm thinking I need to make much more effort. I may treat March as a bit of a challenge, not sure yet how to phrase it. I like the 100 day idea, though 31 days doesn't sound so impressive!

    I love Premier Protein Shakes - 160 calories, and its either 20 or 30 gms of protein. Also, Fairlight has really good ones.I've only had the chocolate, but they are really good. I put them in a blender with some ice, and sometimes add 2 tbsp of instant, sugar free pudding. They are delicious .. taste like you are eating a milkshake.

    Ive always heard that a "diet" should be a lifestyle.. eat the way you want for the rest of your life. If you underate by 600 calories .. that would be hard to keep up. I am (Ha.. slowly!), learning that it is so much better to eat 3 good meals a day.. enough so that you are full, yet not overstuffed. Eating like this can be something you do for the rest of your life. Its the sweets and sugary stuff that I struggle with. But .. just think.If you are on a eating plan to "lose weight" only, once you are off that plan, the weight will come back on.
    But .. you are doing great. Its not a marathon.. it is a journey!

    Yesterday went with hubby to his doctor. Once again.. its wait until another 3 months for more blood work. If his numbers are still high, then they will do a PET scan to determine where/if the cancer is back, and go from there.
    We ate at a sandwich place.. I got a roast beef sandwich; dinner was leftover chicken chimigianas. I am "experimenting" this week with trying to eat more during my meals... and less snacking.
    2 days of this, and so far.. it is working. Yes, I am hungry in the evening, but I am carrying my water bottle with me, and just drinking water. But I am not craving food so much that I go nuts in the evening with the snacks.

    SOmeone on here also said they were working on determining if they were thirsty or hungry. I know that is my problem, because so many times when I crave food.. I just keep eating because nothing works. Especially things like ice cream.. or cold stuff. So I am working this week on just trying to eat more at my meals (but healthy stuff and more veggies), and no snacking at all, except maybe a protein shake.

    JFT, Mon
    1. log all food :)
    2. concentrate on water .. 8+ :)
    3. eat more during the day so not starving or hungry in the evenings. No snacking after 7
    4. go to gym :( .. But I got in a 3 mile walk in 50 MPH winds!! And did weight lifting at home. So I will count this as a workout!

    JFT, Tues
    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on water == 8+
    3. go to gym
    4. eat more during the day so not starving ... no evening snacking after 7 :)

    @azulvioleta6: Hope you are feeling better. Being sick, especially during the winter months is tough! Seems so many places are getting terrible weather this year! Hang in there.. spring will be here soon!
    @Bex: Hubby bought some weights and a home gym because he doesn't like or have time to go to the gym. I really am liking it also.. because I like to walk, and this way I can do weights. You;ll love it.. just to get a couple small weights. Its more of a mindset thing also .. when you work out.. you feel healthy, and want to eat healthy. Do you have a place there where people sell used weights and stuff like that? You might find something you like that way.. and maybe get your earrings to!
    Oh... I heard of a website called Temu... if your looking for earrings.. they are super cheap! As in like $5.00 US dollars! I'm not sure if you are wanting nicer ones .. but you might want to check it out! They have lots of clothes, etc.. for really cheap prices. I have not bought from them, but I know others that have, and said its good quality stuff.

    Love to respond to more.. but its already noon.. need to get my day going!

    We don't have a specific place that sells used weights, not that I know of anyway, but there's always someone selling some sort of equipment on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Preloved etc. But it's never quite what I'm looking for and they go super quick, and for so eone who doesn't own a car anymore it's difficult to beat someone else to it.
    But other than that I think there's a set on Amazon I can buy for 60 quid? Which goes up to 30 or 40kg I think cause ash needs to use it too so has to be heavy
    But it's all adjustable bar and discs so he can buy even heavier discs separately when he needs to.

    I will check out that website! Probably not for the earrings because I need to wear gold or silver or else the piercings get infected and go green and stuff. Which is annoying.
    Tbh I don't normally buy them. My friend bought me a candle for Christmas but theres two items of jewellery in it. So it takes bout 10 hours of burning time to get to them but I got a necklace and some earrings. And they were like £30 earrings in the candle! I lost the tag for the necklace so couldn't price check that on the website.
    But I lost one of them. I'm devastated but can't find it anywhere, but I found the back of it? I'm hoping it will turn up somewhere

    Hooray it's March! So uplifting to feel that spring is almost here (although here there is snow forecast for all of next week).
    I've given myself a mental talking-to, I really need to regulate my eating and lose some pounds. I've not been taking it seriously, and it's probably the most important thing I can do for myself. Just like everyone else, I have things in my life which are not good. I've realised that losing weight is the one thing I actually have control over, the one thing which is completely down to me and no-one else. So no excuses.

    JFT Wednesday 1st March

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Back exercises
    Grocery shopping
    Monthly bills
    Phone council
    Sow some seeds

    I'm going to allow myself 1400 calories, not sure I could manage 1200 right now, it's still too cold. It's so long since I've logged my food that all my "recent" foods on mfp have disappeared, so starting from scratch again which is a bit frustrating.
    I hurt my back on Monday so I'm not listing any walking, but will do what I feel I can. I have an osteopath appointment booked but its not until the 10th.
    I weighed myself this morning so I have my starting point.

    Okay, it’s March. Another fresh start. Need to remind myself to take things one day at a time, and stop beating myself up so much when things don’t go the way I want, or I make bad choices.
