I see some great ideas posted here. Great job with meal planning, planning for parties, and limiting oneself to a single piece of chocolate. Give yourself a pat on the back! Helping with newborns and chasing a toddler mean my arms are never empty and no time to reach for food. Keep in pushing forward Karen in BC

Still at my daughters until dec 17. Then back to work for 2 weeks and back here jan 7-31. Not getting much exercise chasing around a toddler but keeping my eating on track.

Such crazy days at work the past two days. But a victory for me was not binge eating after I got home, which is my usual habit. Working nights tonight. They are having a pot luck so I better stay out of the staff room!! Wish me luck. Karen in BC

Love reading all the posts here One of my biggest challenges is coming home from a crazy 12 hr shift at work and bing eating. Thankfully last night and tonight I was able to avoid that but I was actually thinking of how I was going to avoid that as it was exceptionally crazy today. But I logged my food and came on here and…

Day 4 was good. Stayed within boundaries and got 46 min exercise I was standing talking to ds and he was eating Oreos. The smell of them hit me suddenly. I abruptly said I have to go. He said you weren’t done with your conversation. I said yes I am because if I stay much longer I will pour myself some milk and eat some…

Carol- usually I just do small projects like table toppers or runners although I have made kids quilts cause they are easy. Would love to have a sewing room and time to do more. I still work full time shift work for a few more years. My son went for groceries last week and bought several kinds of bulk candy that I I like.…

Feeling very ‘meh’ today. Back to work tomorrow for 2 twelve hour days and one 12 hr night. Not interested in getting stuff ready for work yet. ie. laundry, meal planning. Perhaps after a trip to the quilt shop I will be motivated to actually do something. It is such a dull, dreary, rainy day that I just want to sit and…

What to be grateful for today? A nice warm house cause it is cold, rainy and windy outside. And I have to go to the quilt store in that! Karen, BC
