JFT 1/4– started logging again after 2 month hiatus dueto chest wall contusion=no upper body workouts + 14 day quarantine due to Covid exposure, plus bad eating habits @ the holidays. JFT 1/5: log food, the good the bad, the ugly— yes, I need to count every damn chocolate chip! Did my 1 1/2 hour workout 6:30 am- 8 am Drink…

JFT A walk with upper body this am and gym with elliptical and Jacob’s Ladder alternating circuits after work today. Have a great Friday everyone and to those who are celebrating, Shana Tovah! However you are able to be in community in prayer, may you feel connected, renewed, and reflective during theHigh Holy Days.

I kept a gratitude journal for awhile at night. That helped...

Wow, hello to others on this road/in this rut. I started going to after dinner Overeaters Anonymous meetings this month (virtually) for this very issue. It’s the out of control feeling and eating stuff after I don’t even want it anymore that got me there. but... I’m not sure how good a fit the program is. I like reading…

Back after 2 months—too long. New job, 1 hour commute each way (only 6 miles as crow flies—gotta live that NYCis a bunch of boroughs connected by bridges), then within a month we can no longer provide in-home therapy & NY/NJ are epicenter. Trying to keep centered to manage anxiety about vulnerable people and finances. I’ve…

How do others manage cravings, prevent relapse, avoid binging on fav but unhealthy foods?? I am needing support and suggestions to try this week. Thanks in advance for posting strategies you’ve used that work.

@ZizzyBumble My mother,who took the mixed nuts I was mindlessly eating & put them away a few days ago, last night acted surprised when I said no to wine at dinner and offered it again—that’s when I said, “I don’t need the calories.”. Can you enlist your parents’ support? I have had so few days of staying green that my goal…

And Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

@maryrobinson40 prayers to all in NC & in harm’s way everywhere. Finally started logging again after a rough 1 1/2 weeks. Added hydration back in today. Staved off headaches until 3 today. With my job having started I’m up at 5 am, 4:30 when anxiety gets me up early. I love the new job but still have to adjust my body to…

So far a great start to my Friday. 3 online traings done & I’m eating a massive salad before heading to gym. I start shadowing at my new job as a Behavioral Therapist for 0-3 year olds with autism. Online trainings are tiring! And I’m shedding all the volunteering commitments I picked up. while not working for past 6…

Ugh. I’ve been at least writing food intake since Sat. & entered all day Tues, Wed until after dinner snacking set in, and today. Every day showed weight gain over next 5 weeks—Tues showed 20lb gain! Yup, it’s been leftover party cheese & cookie fest at the house this week, plus hours in front of the screen for online…

@mytime6630 I hope you got good news with your biopsy results. It sounds like you have lots of support from your family.

So yesterday was a “break even” day (i.e. I’d weigh 1/2 lb. less in 5 weeks!) My mother gave me her tips—take 1/2 portions of everything. You can always have seconds. I now have my food scale at the table & need to add measuring cups. I have been struggling with not supersizing dinner b/c I am so hungry by then. That’s our…

@beachwalker99. logging every day HAS been my goal—so give yourself 1/2 credit for holding yourself publicly accountable even when you don’t reach goal—we need to celebrate every victory. Ihave never logged this consistently before—and I’ve just finished first week! @aubyshortcake Huge step! Best wishes!! And drumroll.....…

@snowflake1966 I hear you—December I was unemployed, had a cold, and feeling generally like staying in bec. Weight gain, BMI up accordingly. What helped me was/is reminding myself that I HAVE successfully lost and kept off weight before in the recent past. @Kuhl50 what a victory not eating party leftovers!! I somerimes…

Still maintaining my logging streak. lots of noticing of where my calories pile on. all the usual suspects, but getting the feedback is great. so jealous of snowshoeing on lunch break. I miss living in VT!

@maryrobinson40. Exuberance!! TY!

@Faebert yup, process is what I am all about right now. I have BIG goals but trying to focus on wellness as a lifestyle one small change at a time, with no deadlines (except that last one).

Late night snacking again last night—someone “regifted” Godiva chocolates to us...

LNS: 3 Me: 2

Love my digital scale!!! Also use my measuring tape... every Monday.

Being unemployed and in limbo since September has had a positive unintended consequence of helping me slow down. As a result I have become better at budgeting time and arriving on time or early more often. I lost this aspect of my life completely while married & especially once my kids came along. So important to feeling…

I logged all my food intake yesterday—every last cookie & butter pat I forgot yesterday went in this am. My octogenarian parents, with whom I live, are sooo supportive, perhaps my mother will agree not to keep cookies in the house. Very proud of my food tracking streak—4 days & counting. Walked 30 mins everyday with my…

Dear Pridesabtch: what does “stay in the green” refer to?

last night no, tonight yes. current score: LNS 2, me 2

oh, also hitting lights out goal by 10 pm. still waking up lots, but gradually resetting circadian rhythm to a workday cycle.

Wow! hit walking & tracking goals yesterday & today. this may be the first time i’ve ever tracked for more than 2 days in a row.
