LaMa won our 6kg challenge...Ya LaMa! But I think I need a different type of challenge to keep me on my feet. A weight goal is a shifty one for me because even when I'm on plan my weight fluctuated all over the place and that can be disheartening to me. I propose a 30 Day On-Plan challenge and I challenge everybody to join me. No specific plan, just YOUR plan of your choosing and stick to it for 30 straight days. Starting on November 1st.
My plan:
1400 kcal max, 100 oz of water a day, 10,000 + steps a day, and AT LEAST 6 hours of sleep a night. And I think I want to throw in there that I won't drink more then a bottle of wine a week. I'm not abstaining from booze all together but I am trying to cut down significantly. I feel like these goals are doable.
Now I better get going, I have a meeting soon and have to get back to the office.

Are your anxiety/panic attacks calming down?
I have OCD/ADHD/AND Anxiety Disorders...
I try to laugh about it often and stay positive/bubbly.. I always tease (even though there is truth to it) that I'm amazed I'm not a crack head or something?!
Having all those can be a bit much to say the least. Especially when my STRESS/Depression is in high gear.
I'm super sensitive to strong meds so I'm on my own..I cannot take meds for any of my issues.
Music and Meditation (I'm a Christian, so I will get quiet in a candle lit room and focus on scriptures and concentrate on my breathing)
That really helps me a lot. Upbeat music can pull me right out of an attack.

Stacy, I did not have any attacks today and it was a fairly stressful day for me, I had two different skype meetings. The first was with my boss and the second was with my boss and the owner of the company I work for. Neither are people I fear and they always reinforce how much they appreciate me and my work, but it still felt like a grill session!! I think I am doing better though although I did have a really tough time sleeping again last night with all my thoughts bombarding me late into the night. But I kept that outright panic at bay.
Food today has been relatively good. I'm taking a page out of Matt's book and I'm going to write my food down daily. I've tried this before and didn't stick with it but if I'm going to be doing a 30 day on plan challenge I might as well go all in.
B: 16 oz latte with 3 shots of espresso, 2%milk and sugar free hazelnut syrup.
L: two pieces of whole wheat bread, two slices of london broil deli meat, brie, mustard and lettuce.
D: large crab louie salad with thousand island dressing
Snack: Almond honey kashi bar
I've had 3 cans of seltzer water today and so far one 16 oz bottle of water. I will probably drink more water as the night goes on.
The kiddo is off school for a long weekend and tonight is ghost hunters night on the syfy channel so he just ran down to the bodega to buy himself some snack food and soda. I'm going to make him an open face crab sandwich for his dinner when he gets back. And try to avoid any of the crap he brings home. I wish I could control the things he buys and brings into the house but he makes his own allowance doing chores for his great grandma so he always has a pocket full of dollar bills.
I have to go shopping tomorrow, but only going to buy toilet paper and dog food because we are almost out of both. I'm saving my big shopping trip for saturday so I can do meal prep for all of next week on sunday. That will make my first week of NaNoWriMo so much easier.
And I'm going to weigh myself in the morning. I might fall down and die from shock but I'm hoping that the fact that I've cut down on my drinking (booze) and have not been eating out very much will at least have me not at my high weight again. Please gawd please. But I know my body and I know I'm up there pretty high. It will be shocking for me, and probably you all too...I won't sugar coat it. I gain fast when I go off the rails.

Hi Kaplooie! Good luck staying away from your son´s junkfood (yes, I did initially type junk, then somehow thought that might sound weird...), couldn´t you ask him to keep unhealthy food/drink in his own room? Fingers crossed for the scale .grouphug:
I´m in on the challenge, it´ll probably be something fruit/veg-related plus an exercise goal. Points for every day the goal is achieved?

Dammit, realized I forgot to weigh this morning. I was so rushed, forgot to set my alarm last night and woke up late.
LaMa, took a page from your book and updated my sig for the challenge
I also started a challenge thread in the challenge forum, linked in siggy also.

Great Plans/Goals! 
I understand the JUNK all too well! *Sigh* Hubby & Son (my son is 21) - are not interested in change even though they should be.
I have to buy their wants/requests and some days I feel plain tortured! lol
Just going to work hard, have results, be a good example and maybe they will join me!?
Have A Great Evening!

I just bought Halloween candy!!!!!!!!! Dear gawds of willpower please bestow upon me the grace to accept that if I eat it I will never get out of my fat pants. This is a necessity though, in my neighborhood anyways. I get oodles of trick or treaters and they are so cute I could never live with myself if I didn't load them up with sugar and send them packing. And I had to buy it today because the selection on the store shelves was quickly dwindling and I didn't want to be that house with old people candy. You know, tootsie rolls and butterscotch candies. LOL!
I had the worst day at work today. Well, the afternoon, about the last hour and a half of it...I had a huge confrontation with our maintenance foreman (from hereon referred to officially as Asshat). He is such a hot mess, so disorganized and so full of himself. And he tried to blame it on me!! I was like, oh. hell. no. So I'm going to drink some wine. Maybe more then I should.
Today:
B: latte with 8 oz of 2% milk, 3 shots of espresso and SF hazelnut syrup
L: Large green salad with baked Sockeye salmon and thousand island dressing
D: So far...wine. Maybe later I'll make can of soup. What I really want is a grilled cheese sandwich to go with that soup but that would be baaaaad.
Water: 2 cans of seltzer water and 1 16 oz bottle of water (I'll be drinking more water as the night progresses to avoid a headache tomorrow).
walking: I have barely registered three lights on my fitbit flex...I did a lot of "inefficient" paperwork today (according to the asshat).

Good think that challenge does not start until Nov 1, I am doing terribly today.
B: Latte with 8 oz 2%milk, three shots of espresso and SF hazelnut
L: Onion rings, egg roll, general tso's chicken, fried rice and a huge diet coke. I should just skip dinner...seriously.
Just found out I'm working on Sunday! Yay! Not. Nothing like starting NaNoWriMo and a challenge month (two challenges because I also am on board with the bodyweight squat challenge) with the boss flying to town to put a certain asshat in their place. That, in itself, will consume two full days of my time with her, because she'll want to see ALL the properties one at a time. But, she came to town in July and we had a pretty good time together so I'm kind of looking forward to getting to connect with her in person.
I am missing my gym membership. My company doesn't do medical insurance (small company) but they do give other employees medical incentives for purchasing their own insurance. I have free medical so I sent an email today to see if they would instead cover my gym membership. The worst they can say is no, right? And you never know unless you ask.

I'm very happy about the gym membership, if I wasn't so busy today I'd run over there and work out right now. But today is about getting the house cleaned (right now the kiddo is doing dishes because I'm a slave driver), and gearing up for NaNoWriMo. I start at midnight! Everything!
And then I have to go to work at 8am. Boo!!
I've been enjoying wine today, and I'm all ready the trick or treaters when they start coming, got my big ol' bowl of candy sitting by the door. I'm going to do some batch cooking this evening, a big pot of quinoa with sauteed bell peppers, onion, garlic and mushrooms for flavor, and chicken thighs broiled, pan fried hamburger patties, and I bought canned peas (actually one of my favs, weird I know) and canned green beans, and pickled beats. Ready for the whole week is my goal.
I'm also binge watching Breaking Bad today...I can't believe I've never watched it before. As an ex drug addict I never wanted to because I thought it would be triggering but its really not, and its good. Loving it.
