Morning everyone, two days till holidays - I can see the light. Worked hard yesterday physically and mentally. Fell asleep on the couch before 7pm. It is good for me to be using exercise as an outlet, and when I’m alert I feel great physically, but as soon as I stop and relax that’s it, I’m out 😊 Thanks @cbabie for the…

Another week another child saga 😢. Got a call from school today which sent me to tears so I left work for a 3km walk to get myself together. I’m a bit exhausted now and just ate some chocolate so am coming here to stop that behaviour in its tracks. Not sure what the evening holds - I’m just kind of ignoring everyone right…

@shaunarlr83. Congrats on the loss! @happysquidmuffin. Morning! Taking breaks to practice just LIVING are so important. Last Thursdays bike ride was a real lightbulb moment for me and a good reminder that this is just a small part of my wider life and they all have to be able to work together. I think that so long as we…

@laurelfit57. 👋. Those coyotes sound scary. When you say “big”, how big do they get? I’ve only seen them in zoos which is obviously not their natural habitat, and on the Lion King 😂. I think they get much bigger than our dingos and they can be intimidating enough! Do they really come at people? Stalking of any kind freaks…

@trooworld Our bike ride was sort of on the edge of the city (although it’s only Launceston so even using the word “city” is a stretch 😂). We went along the river and some bike paths that were a mix of concrete, wooden boardwalk, gravel and dirt. Had to abandon one detour because it was a bit boggy. I probably wouldn’t…

Hi everyone, been a bit busy this weekend and awol from my health focus - my morning exercise is the only thing that I’ve been sticking to but it has carried me through. Back on track tomorrow to finish the month strongly. @trooworld I’m really sorry your have not felt special or valued for your birthday. For what it’s…

@trooworld Thats a huge loss! Well done! Staying on track definitely takes concentration and dedication - and it’s so great to see rewards for the effort. Sounds like you have a great weekend planned. Hope you have a fantastic time. @cbabie A newborn! Congratulations to you all 😁. Things will definitely be a bit different.…

Drafted this morning but didn’t post: Hi Everyone. I am soooooooooooo tiiiiirrrrreeeeeddddddd. 😴 One work day left and it is an important one but I feel unprepared. Ignoring that though, yesterday was such a lovely day. Everyone was home (Queen Memorial Day) and kids were unexpectedly inter-active. Did my extended workout…

Hi @trooworld. Today was a better day - thanks for checking in 😊. I ate pretty well but still snacked a bit, but am making much better choices when I do and am much more conscious of it. Finally got my walk along the river today - I just walked out 5 minutes before I was due for break hoping that if I left before anyone…
-
Hi everyone. Stayed a bit from my pre-track but not in a bad way. Swapped out a couple of things for taste preferences but ate surprisingly well. I agree @Katmary71 I am enjoying noticing that my habits have changed even when I’m not 100% focused - I’m still making good, or t least much better choices. @shaunarlr83. Haha,…

Morning all. Am tired but up and exercised and pre-tracked for everything except dinner. Hoping for a lunchtime walk but breaks are rare these days. Countdown has started till term break 😊 @happysquidmuffin Way to go with those goals!! Fantastic effort 👏👏👏. Definitely earned that bath. @shunarlr83 That’s a great turnaround…
-
@cbabie Thank you - the meeting went as expected and no new surprises which is good. Am really hoping tomorrow is a re-settling day, I’m exhausted. It’s never too late to learn the piano 😁 @trooworld I like detours to take the long way to a destination - makes even small trips feel more interesting. And taking odd routes…
-
Gosh things get away quickly. I’ve had a couple of exhausting days and food has taken a back seat. Exercise is still going well and I’ve logged food but been over budget the last two days - will be interesting when I get round to working out the week to see how my ticks are going. Will try to get a proper look tomorrow.…
-
Morning all. @trooworld Thanks, it got better. I didn’t exactly eat meals yesterday tho, just sort of cake…on and off…all day 😊. It was yoghurt and blueberry tho, so not all bad, oh and an almond thing too…. But I tracked everything and did two long stints of exercise so came out not too bad. Knees got a bit sore and I…

I’m feeling grouchy today. Happy Sunday. That is all.
-
@cbabie sorry bubs is sick. That’s always draining emotionally. For foods i load up on veggies with meals and save fruits for between meals - I always need sweet things in the afternoon 😊. Thanks for the encouragement, I do feel great this week, but can’t help expecting the sabotage to come - it always die sooner or later.…
-
@megnolis82. Great feeling about the jeans - and good timing for a pick-me-up. Good work 👍 @teooworld - your checkin reports BOTH ticks! Yay for you 👍😁👏 @Jactop You made me laugh with “pressed sawdust” 😂. Very accurate for a lot of them. I haven’t made it to the shop yet but they are on my list today, I’ll be having on…

Got home, prepped dinner, made coffee, sat down with youngest and decided if I was going to be watching telly with him I might as well exercise through it, so did another hour on the elliptical (he only watched telly for 20mins but once I was going, thought I might as well make it worthwhile 😁). Am now taking that “sit…

Hi everyone, feels like I’ve missed heaps and I’m sorry but not going to be able to respond to everyone, but it is awesome to see so many people plugging away here. A quick skim read tells me someone mentioned radishes which I’d forgotten how much I enjoy so they are now on the shopping list. I also bought some Turkey…
-
Hi all. DS threw us another spanner yesterday so I’m not feeling great emotionally. I did not resort to food though, and was quite surprised at myself! Today I’ve been making good food choices but I’ve been really hungry so calorie goal is not looking likely. Weigh in is tomorrow tho so this far have been a ticking to good…
-
Morning everyone, just checking in, I’m feeling good and doubled the length of my workout this morning in hopes of pulling back some of the damage from last night. Looking back though it wasn’t nearly as bad a binge as they used to be, which is encouraging. I even made progress on the personal guilt factor because I asked…
-
Hi everyone, I finally caved to the cravings and had a run-in with the pantry last night. It wasn’t devastating but means I’m a day behind on my usual low calorie days so might struggle to meet my 3 per week goal 😔. I’m disappointed about that, but the week is not over yet and if I can stay strong it’s doable, just means I…
-
@happysquidmuffin Hahahaha, I kinda like the idea of having a team mate called Cotton-headed Ninny-muffins!!! 😂. I have an Apple Watch too and no matter how many times I see it, there is still satisfaction at seeing those three little rings sparkle 😊.
-
@cbabie Hello! Great to see you! Was wondering how things were going for you, thanks for checking in 😊. I’m a morning person too and I have always felt like I’d wake everyone- even just getting up and moving around so I used to lay in bed and be depressed about all the things I could be doing. Not really many suggestions…
-
Hi @trooworld. Nope, didn’t last, came back here now to update. First though, want to say well done on the walk around before meeting your husband, and I’m glad for you there is some decision on the medication front - fingers crossed it as a positive effect for you. So I had a small run-in with the pantry tonight. Been…

Just reporting a win - busy day, came home tired and lethargic. Been craving “treat” all day. Knew if i faffed too long in the kitchen it would end badly. Cut up a banana, smooshed in some cocoa and sprinkled with crushed almonds. Sweet, chocolate, crunchy, filling - ticks all the boxes for now. Will see how I feel in…

Hi everyone, I’m heading to bed but am pleased with myself for coming under primary calorie goal today- only just, and I was sorely tempted, but kept my head on and earned the tick for my chart 😁. See you all tomorrow.
