you can do this !

the last few days have been good

thank you for your support. the last few days have all been good. @WifiresGettingFit I am more likely to have a computer or phone with me than a notebook !

It didn't go as well as I had hoped. I've found a daily routine which seems to be helping and yesterday some things came up in the morning so I didn't follow it. My not so good morning slipped into a not so good lunch. I had a very small dinner and I think my day's calories were probably around maintenance. So the lessons…

calories were (probably) below maintenance but i ate mindlessly and poorly most of the day.

another 500 odd calories of mindless junk for breakfast. I have already stopped eating and my day will still be in deficit but its just not a great start to the day.

That's fab that you had such a positive day yesterday on so little sleep (positive not just in terms of calories in/out, but attitude, too.)

@mae918 Well done ! its not always easy to come out ahead.

good day.

good day.

I managed to turn the morning around. Then I found myself in a position in the evening where it was just too difficult to make good choices and I was just too tired to make the effort. Honestly at the moment I'm content with just trying to make the right choices when its not that difficult. When it becomes difficult I…

thanks @WifiresGettingFit - I'm sorry that you have some of the same struggles, but its nice to know that I'm not alone. I wish I had a magic wand I could wave to help us both move forward.

Yesterday went well. This morning I woke up and wrote 'good day' on my other thread. I then spent some time looking at the the fitbit website. I'm happy that I've managed to squeeze in a good level of activity lately despite quite difficult circumstances. Then I went to the kitchen. I'm not even sure why I went in. I think…

good day.

what a super awesome day ! I can only imagine how hard you've worked to earn that bad-*kitten* crown :smile:.

Yesterday also went well. I feel like I'm in a routine. (two decent days and I'm already calling it a routine !!). But it feels smoother and effortless - like I have a plan which is working. By working I mean a plan that I can follow - I'm not sure if my calories are at a deficit, so I'm not sure if I'm losing weight. but…

@tcunbeliever lol ! (I hope :smile: )

great job - sounds like you found something that is working well for you.

Yesterday ended well and I have woken today feeling positive. I'm going to refocus and keep my end goal in mind. I want to look and feel fabulous. I'm going to take a moment to actually think about that, and to really feel it. I want to look and feel fabulous. The ordering on that statement is not quite right. It is more…

@jilliancreates writing about my feelings, thoughts and actions increases my self awareness and makes me more accountable - I hope it helps you :smile:. For me, I know that I can't really stop at one and I use the thought of where it might end up to stop me having even the first one. this usually helps. But the down side…

Gosh - I got through the day ok. i'm happy about that.

I chose well. Lunch went well. this morning's croissant is a distant memory.

I am still feeling a bit shaken by the croissant and I am about to go into a meeting which will almost certainly have a lot of temptations. I am writing this to remind myself that I have a choice and I can chose not to eat foods which will take me off my plan. the decision is entirely mine. This is my chance to put this…

After a solid day yesterday, I bought a croissant with my morning coffee this morning. not good, but its ok - I can recover. I have made a decision not to let this spiral out of control. My actions are my choice. and I choose to put the croissant behind me and get back on my plan.
