"Mulligan day yesterday. I got a headache and asked Mary to get me a McFlurry. I’m going to start checking my blood sugar levels when I feel that way. "
"Day 4: Made a mistake tonight that is all too familiar. I did not eat enough substantial food for dinner and was still hungry thereafter…got me snacking around 7:30 and that’s what I want to start avoiding.
FIX: breakfast and lunch can be smaller, but dinner should be substantial enough to get me through the night cravings. DO NOT TRY TO FOOL YOURSELF WITH A SKIMPED DINNER, IT WILL BACKFIRE ON YOU!"
"Week 15:
I achieved my initial goal this week. It took me 15 weeks rather than a year. On to my next goal of 14 stone by this Christmas.
Here is a summary of all the ways that I feel better having lost my weight so far.
I don't have back ache every day.
I don't get leg cramping.
I don't have severe numbness in my legs any more.
I can wear trousers over my hips now rather than under my belly.
Finally mentally I have changed my mind that running could be something that I do to keep fit. After Christmas I am going to complete the couch to 5K programme."
"I don't eat things like jam tarts, Bakewell tarts, Jaffa cakes, White chocolate, Apples, Gum, Nutella, Cadbury creme. egg, Caramel, Oreo, Honey, Cereal like Honey loops, Weetos, Cookie Crisps, Weetabix, Oreo O's and Honey Pops, Marmalade, Toffee, Mcflurry (except Aero one), Peanut butter, Strawberry kit kat, Peanut butter kit kat, milk way, mars, liquorice, dolly mix, poppets, Peas, Cauliflower, etc... There are many foods I don't like and it's because they damage my skin, make me tired, and put me in a bad mood. "
"Le poids que j'aurais dû perdre la première semaine de diète. Ça m'a pris 3 semaines mais ce n'est pas grave. Nous sommes le 13 octobre. J'ai 6*3=18 jours pour arriver à 110kg. Soit environ 1kg par semaine. Donc déjà ce dimanche qui arrive je vais tout faire pour être à 112.0kg. Là je viens de faire deux jours sans crise de boulimie. C'est top."
"Day 3: today I thought about portion control. Eating enough for meals but eating till I feel about 7-8 out of 10 fullness. Takes a conscious effort to reduce amount of food on plate and stay in tune with my fullness level. So far, so good…another positive day"
"I’m super happy with how I’m doing!! Considering I was in Moscow, the restaurant opened and I’ve had that food, in still doing good and feeling good!!! Oh and I hurt my ankle, so movement is limited. Going to keep pushing "
"Current weight 274.8. Averaging 3019 Calories / day over last month. 0.9 hours per day exercise
Am getting back onto the path - NOW.
Been lax over past coupld of months and want a better way of living. Over eating and short changing myself on exercise, stretching, and strength training leads to frustration and anxt. I know what I need to do - its simple. As I do in small increments, it will get easier, and I'll be able to make the increments bigger. Want to get to average of 1625 cal/day while exercising 2 hours/day. I expect it will take me the rest of October to reach those levels. "
"I ate 3 -4 slices of cinnamon drop bread. This put me over before I even realized what was happening. I knew bread wasn’t a great idea. Need to plan ahead BEFORE I eat. :) "
"This week is no sweets week which is awesome because I love chocolates, cakes, biscuits, hot drinks like hot chocolate, mocha, cappuccino, latte and I also like fizzy drinks like Barr (not ginger beer), coke, juice drinks and KA punch drinks. I don't really like sweets as they stick to my teeth and make my breath really smelly which I hate."
"I'll be drinking a large glass of water just before every meal.
I'll be sticking to my current mealtime routine of 3 meals no snacks, with the last meal being early in the day (eating last bite before 5pm, with the kitchen "closed" for the night shortly after dinner cleanup).
I'll be working on clearing some initial clutter and setting up my wardrobe for a fresh start with rotating back in my pre-pregnancy clothes for the New Year.
I'll get dressed every morning and only switch back to pajamas after dark.
I'll weigh myself at least every few days unless it makes me crazy.
I'll shower, shave at least once a week, put on clothing that makes me feel good, brush my teeth 2x a day, and wash my face before going to sleep, and any other self-care habits that make me feel good, clean, worthy, and whole. "
"Babywearing A and/or P for at least 30 minutes a day will keep me on my feet, moving, and add extra weight bearing activity to my daily routine.
During these 11 weeks, I'm going to figure out where I want to get my bike fixed for the New Year.
For my workouts, I'll be focusing on shoulders, neck, and back strength for these 11 weeks. This will help me with the babywearing and getting my posture back after pregnancy.
I'll be checking my thyroid levels at blood draws Oct 29, Nov 29, and Jan 6. Keeping consistent with my thyroid monitoring will help me keep my energy levels and keep me able to lose weight.
Leaving the house a max of 3 times a week will help me stick to my routine at home, lowering stress levels and reducing time in the car.
Spending 8pm-5am in bed 5 days a week will help me get the sleep I need (10pm-5am the other days for logistics meeting, date night, and/or Skype time)
Sticking to my daily routines (morning and night) and helping A and P have consistent naps midday will help me stay consistent and greatly reduce my stress levels during Jon's transition back to work.

"Sticking with my screentime goals will make it easier to avoid time sitting, time with advertising, and hormone disrupting light.
I'll be keeping a food journal with just a quick overview of what I ate (not the amounts, just the foods/ingredients).
I'll be aiming for 300 minutes of purposeful movement every week, which includes gardening/yardwork, stretching, yoga/pilates, strength training, walking, etc.)
I'll be aiming for a minimum of 10 minutes of movement every single day, even if all that means is stretching."
"6k steps by brisk walking.
More time in this day is ahead. So I can make another 6k steps I hope.
But my daily target I'd 15k.
As I'm a medical student, I don't get enough time to brisk walk. "
"Another brutal day. Good news = 11k steps. Bad news = eating totally off the charts. Need to plan ahead for better food management next weekend. Tomorrow is a new day. Mat class at 8:15. I can do this."
"Start of commitment (even though it officially starts next week). My goal is to lose a pound a week until I have achieved a minimum of 190 lbs body weight. I plan to do this by continuing to workout 5-6 days a week using F3 or my home gym for a minimum of 45 minutes per session. I also plan to be more conscientious of my eating and drinking habits, abstaining from any food after dinner and avoiding processed foods and simple carbohydrates. WIth 1 lb/week weight loss goal, I should reach my overall goal in 15 weeks (end of January)."
"Starting 201lbs
Goal of 190 by New Years 2022 (11 weeks)
180 by A's 2nd birthday (14 weeks)
171 by H's 5th birthday (21 weeks)
162 by P's 18 month (22 weeks)"
"It’s easy for me to drop an extra 5 lbs but after the first 5 lbs I get to change it up- I am in full keto with low fat and walking- I’ll be slim, defined and my abs will be showing!!! "
"About 30 pts over today due to pizza night -- alternative needed! Or, have fewer pieces and skip the beer. Only 9k steps. Not a great day, but I know.i can get back to working the plan tomorrow."
"Started well. The last few days have been difficult. There was too much sugar (Oreos) in my diet. I need to get broccoli and other vegetables in. The best would be to prep all meals tomorrow."
"Well i got so stressed out that my eye wouldn't stop twitching for like 8 days. So I was tryna to take it easy in general. Pretty much just full on survival mode "
