Goals for 12/17 - finish Christmas shopping ✅ - Wash dishes ❌ / run dishwasher ✅ - Laundry ✅ - Clean bathrooms ❌ - Work on writing stuff ✅ - Job hunt ❌ - Oh yeah, try and eat somewhat healthy and drink enough water. 🤷‍♀️ Didn’t get nearly as much done today as I wanted. Healthy eating wasn’t great either. Didn’t eat a very…

So much to do this weekend. Add in a three-day (and counting) splitting headache and PMS and it’s going to be a challenging couple of days. Goals for 12/17 - finish Christmas shopping - Wash dishes/run dishwasher - Laundry - Clean bathrooms - Work on writing stuff - Job hunt - Oh yeah, try and eat somewhat healthy and…

It’s rainy, windy, and cold - and I feel sick already - but I need to go to the grocery store if I want to eat something halfway healthy tonight. But first I have to make it a few more hours in my ****** day job. All while finding out I bought the wrong gift for my Dad for Christmas, which might not even get here in time.…

Horrible day all around today. Most of my calories came from junk food, and I’m sure I didn’t get enough of them. I did at least make it to the pharmacy, and to go with this thread’s theme of expensive healthcare in the US, spent $30 on over the counter meds that aren’t making a bit of difference. Worked a full 8-hour day…

Worked a full 8-hour day despite feeling sick and didn’t get a single “thank you” from any of my coworkers or managers, despite pulling off two extremely last minute assignments. I’m not even that surprised, but it’s hard feeling so invisible.

My only goal for today is to get to the pharmacy to buy some allergy medication that’s not 7 months expired. I’m supposed to have a nutritionist appointment this afternoon but I might end up cancelling (and having to pay a fee) because I don’t want to go out in weather that feels like it’s in the low 30s when I’m already…

Everything irks me today. First I started my work day 45 minutes late, which means I’m going to have to take time off to go to my appointment this afternoon, or have to work late some other day this week to make up the missed hours. But I might end up cancelling that appointment (and having to pay a fee) because allergies…

Only managed about 24 oz of water today instead of 40. Logged all my food but didn’t do as well as I wanted to. Going to bed early tonight and hoping my brain won’t wake me up at 3:45am like it did last night.

Goals for 12/12 - log all food - Drink 40 oz of water That’s it for me today. Only got about 5 and a half hours of sleep last night and caffeine is off limits for me - gives me heart palpitations and makes me super jittery. So I’m setting the bar kind of low for myself today.

Insomnia sucks. Hopefully 5 and a half hours will be enough to get me through the work day.

Positives for the day: healthy choices went well for the first part of the day. And I logged ALL my food, even when things fell apart in the afternoon. I made the mistake of stopping by the grocery store while I was hungry. Ended up buying a box of Ritz crackers and eating almost an entire sleeve of them throughout the…

Happy Friday y’all! My big goal for today is to get enough water. I’ve been much better this week about hitting my calorie goal but water is still a struggle. I’m shooting for 40 oz. today. Goals for 12/9 - 40 oz of water - pick up medicine from pharmacy

Proud of what I accomplished today. Pushed myself to meet my goals and I met them. Except for drinking my water - that one still needs work. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Goals - 40 oz of water ❌ - Log all food ✅ - Errands (recycling, bank, office max) ✅ - laundry (so much laundry…how can one human being produce this much laundry?) ✅ Had a pretty good day today. Drank a decent amount of water (32 oz) and ate a good amount of food, even if some of it wasn’t exactly healthy. I saw someone…

Didn’t eat or drink enough yesterday, and have a headache this morning as a result. Or maybe my headache is from allergies due to the huge fluctuations in temperature. Regardless, trying to do better today. Goals - 40 oz of water - Log all food - Errands (recycling, bank, office max) - laundry (so much laundry…how can one…

I write sci-fi and fantasy! Trying to finish up the latest one for release next year.

Spent the entire day working as a vendor at a local craft show today. Didn’t log my food and I probably didn’t get enough, but I did make sure I was snacking throughout the day, rather than just skipping entirely. I’ve also been doing better lately with drinking more water so that’s good. Oh, and I sold 29 books. 😁 8 of…

Bored out of my mind at work, thinking about all the non-work things I need/want to be doing. Seriously, I think herding cats would be easier than trying to get my brain to focus today.

@cschmitz110515 Such a cute puppy! Made me smile tonight 😊

@cgottschlich I’m liking the experience with the nutritionist so far. Only been going to see her for a few months. That said, my goal is actually to gain weight. I got a referral from a gastroenterologist. I was having a lot of digestive issues from undiagnosed IBS. It got so bad that I dropped a bunch of weight and then…

Didn’t hit my goal weight at my nutritionist appointment but at least the scale moved in the right direction. Guess I’ll count that as a win and try to do better tomorrow.

Goals for 11/29 - yoga - 40 oz of water - Log all food - Nutritionist appointment Trying to pretend yesterday just didn’t happen. Hopefully my appointment goes okay and I’ve actually managed to hit the goal weight I have in mind. It would be a very small victory but I feel like I haven’t had any victories lately so I’ll…

Goals for Monday - yoga ✅ - 40 oz of water ❌ - Log all food ✅ Didn’t eat or drink nearly enough today. So much for a fresh start 😞

Goals for Monday - yoga - 40 oz of water - Log all food I haven’t done very well today, so I’m trying to make tomorrow a new start (another one…how many times have I said that before?). I had good intentions today but my messed-up digestive system had other plans. I thought things were getting better, but then a day like…

Work went okay, didn’t make as much progress as I wanted. Tonight hormones are kicking my butt mentally (feeling down/anxious) and physically (stomach pain/weird cravings). Hoping the worst of it is over by Thanksgiving. Why do these things always happen at the worst possible time? Talked to my mom last week and the plan…

Goals for 11/21 - minimum 1400 calories - Minimum 40 oz of water - Yoga - Errands Back to work today after 10 days off. The break has been wonderful, but now the catch-up phase begins…

Goals for 11/18 - minimum 1400 calories ❌ - Minimum 40 oz of water ❌ - Yoga ❌ Fell short on my goals, but I made some nice profit at my craft show so I’m still counting it as a good day. Going to bed with a headache that will hopefully be gone in the morning so I can chase my dream some more.

I’ve done pretty well over the past week with the healthy eating, but water remains a struggle for me so that’s my focus for today. I’m going to be a vendor at a holiday craft fair today so I’m not sure what my eating schedule is going to be - hopefully I will be too busy selling stuff to sit down and eat! I’ll still make…

My focus this week is consistency. Nutritionist says I’m not pushing myself hard enough and I can’t really argue with her. Parents say they’re worried about me and I can’t argue with them either (even though it hurts to hear that they’re not even acknowledging the fact that I’m trying). So yeah, I need to be more…
