    I failed to post yesterday, and possibly the day before that as well. Wednesday wasn't so great (there was birthday cake!). Thursday was much better, proper meals, no snacks, and I really wanted to snack last night but held out. It helped that I didn't have much in the house which was tempting me.

    Today I'm going out to eat but will keep it sensible.

    JFT Friday 16th Feb

    THINK before I eat
    No snacking
    No eating after 6.30 pm
    PF exercises
    Back exercises
    Grocery shopping
    Drop off charity donations

    Missed posting for a whole day AGAIN!
    Really not doing well this week. Lost that initial momentum. So I want to try and get that back. We did get out yesterday to the park which was nice.
    So today I want to have a straight day! No cheeky snacks, I need to be strict with myself! Do it just for one day!

    I need to remember my goals and stick to my tips and tricks! These WILL get me through the day!

    Weekly Goals
    - Log in every day and update daily!
    - Say 'No' to myself.
    - Reduce sugar intake
    - Sundays - Weekly Review

    JFT Friday
    - Log ALL food
    - Swap out 'bad snacks' for fruit
    - Get atleast 6 waters in
    - Be within calorie goal


    Tips & Tricks
    - Feeling peckish? Have a drink first!
    - Write my goals somewhere noticeable (off the app)
    - Log as I eat so I don't forget anything
    - Tell myself "no" out loud! Not just in my mind!
    - Fat Me Vs Thin Me! (Fat Me wants to eat the junk food, but Thin Me wouldn't do that, so be more like Thin me!)

    - Home by 10:00 :smiley:
    - Bed by 10:30 :smiley:

    Did pretty well yesterday, though I ate too much for dinner. Down side of skipping breakfast and lunch is that I was famished by dinner and overate. Wasn't feeling much like staying out so it was an early evening. Even got to bed early. Slept well, but still woke up tired. I hate that!

    Tonight depending on how I feel, I may play in a pool tournament. The only problem is that it doesn't start until 8:00/8:30 and lasts well past midnight. I go out fairly early, so I get out around 12:00 / 12:30. The late night isn't the problem, the 8:30am spin class is the problem...

    JFT Friday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:

    - NIMS (National Incident Management System) training

    Late in posting again. Last nite, hubby was gone.. and I had to run to walmart. WHY did I pick up some "sugar free" klondike bars! Then.. they had 8 little almond joy candy bars for just $2.50, so I bought those also.. and ate all of this last nite. Sometimes my mindset, after I buy things I should never have gotten, is just eat it all.. then its gone. I really have to work harder at overcoming this awful mindset, but more important.. not even bring that stuff in the house.
    So, goals for today..
    1. Get back on track. Log food!!!
    2. stay within calories. If I want to lose weight.. thats the only way to do it!
    3. concentrate on water
    4. find book on binge eating .. and read it.
    5. no snacking tonite.. or if I am super hungry.. drink a protein shake.

    Today is a snowy, but beautiful day. SO just working on pc boards while I can watch tv & look out the window at the snow! Hubby wants these built so he can sell for extra cash.. and when its nice out I don't want to do them.. so good day.
    French Onion soup is in the crockpot.. and making sweet & Sour chicken tonite for dinner.

    JFT Saturday
    - Log ALL food
    - Swap out 'bad snacks' for fruit
    - Get atleast 6 waters in
    - Be within calorie goal


    Tips & Tricks
    - Feeling peckish? Have a drink first!
    - Write my goals somewhere noticeable (off the app)
    - Log as I eat so I don't forget anything
    - Tell myself "no" out loud! Not just in my mind!
    - Fat Me Vs Thin Me! (Fat Me wants to eat the junk food, but Thin Me wouldn't do that, so be more like Thin me!)
