Petals diary

I did vote, yes. :)
 
I'm finding it hard to find time to update here . One reason is I'm waking a bit later so mornings are rushed . Secondly I cannot do from phone as I do struggle a bit with vision , not sure I mentioned that before so I only use on iPad and I only use my iPad in my bedroom. I'm making a conscious decision also to put my phone away during the day unless I think the kids will be messaging me .

Work is busy and home life is busy . I find it hard to keep up with everything but at least right now I feel more happy and content .

I have lost 2lb this week so I'm hoping that at long last I'm back in the healthy eating zone . I actively tried to lose this week so at least I did. Basically I have had 3 meals a day , don't eat after my eve meal . Snacks if I need are almonds , fruit or a protein yoghurt . My meals contain very little sugar content and I'm very careful with carbs .

Me exercise is hit and miss . If I can I walk or do a DVD . My tracker is broken but I'm a bit relieved as I think it was actually depressing me and stressing me . Don't get me wrong it did motivate me a lot at times but recently I did find I was getting anxious that I wasn't hitting targets .

There is 3 weeks left in November . I would ideally love to lose 4 to 5 lbs in that period . Have blood test due soon and doc won't be too pleased my weight not changed . But will now that I'm back in the right head space hopefully make a little inroad .

Have a good Friday everyone . Hard to believe another week is nearly over
 
I had a hungry evening yesterday. Spent a while trying to work out why . I figure I was thirsty really have not been good with water drinking . Start back with that today
 
That's wonderful you are back on track, and congratulations on the 2 pound loss!! I hope you don't stress too much about exercise while you are getting back on to healthy foods, and I agree with LaMa, that happiness is super important for life and for losing weight. I bet the exercise will straighten out when you are less busy and your diet is stabilized. Really nice to hear you are happier and less stressed out!!!
 
Well done listening to your body and finding out what it really needed instead of eating All The Things!
 
I don't think I have been drinking enough water either. Thanks for reminding me, xo
 
Still not drinking enough but will get it back up .
Marsia I am not worrying too much about the exercise right now . I will get back to it but I was just finding trying to all so overwhelming that I ended up doing nothing correctly . I have lots of household activities and garden activities to do today and if I can I will try get a walk but am not stressing over it .
 
Hi Marsia things are not too bad . The week has just been busy with work as I have had to work longer hours this week . I'm just so tired early mornings and nights now I am not switching on technology at all except a little tv .
I did have one really bad day on Sunday and I had a bit of a melt down . To myself btw . Weather was horrible , I got lonely and a bit down . The only positive was I didn't eat my way though it . Things must be changing with all these new found habits . Monday I had perked up though and feel mentally good again .
All else is ok . Sorry I'm not here too much at the moment . The days just fill so quickly but I turned on the little fire in my room and have come to catch up with all now .
Received some xmas chocolates already would you believe . Some have been redistributed to family members so that was good. Can't believe we got gifts already .
 
I'm sorry you felt bad on Sunday but glad to hear you'd picked yourself back up by Monday. You can be proud of that!

The cookie&chocolate offensive that's being waged on us for the last 6-7 weeks of the year is ridiculous. People baking a large tray each of 20 different kinds of cookies would be considered dedicated but not unhealthily obsessed around here.

Hi Petal,

You're obviously very busy! I hope you are able to maintain the good eating habits. Omg, the holidays are brutal for all the food that's around.
