    Thursday:
    1. Plan some easy workouts for the rest of the week and pre-track
    2. Track all food
    3. Do some food prep
    4. Do food prep
    5. Get to the gym...just get there!

    Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear so many are still sick! I had that horrible cold in December and thought I cracked a rib from coughing so hard. Horrible stuff and it doesn't want to go away. Sending you all warm and healing thoughts.

    Welcome back, bri! -10 lbs in January is awesome!

    Joan, I take Vitamin C and a Vitamin B-Complex. Both of those are very good for you! I'm glad you are taking a multivitamin now. It sure can't hurt!

    I missed yesterday and I sure do miss you guys when I run out of time to log on.

    Just for Tuesday
    1. HYDRATE with WATER/Tea :/Ehhh. Could've been worse, could've been better. Always a struggle lately.
    2. Go to my weigh in. Haven't been there in 4 weeks so this should be interesting. *ugh* :) I did go. I was up almost a pound, but my percentage of fat and water did not go up so she thinks I'm gaining muscle. YES! I'll TAKE IT!
    3. Be positive and encouraging to my husband who really got some crummy news about a business deal he had going for the last year :)He really took it pretty well, and he's actually starting to use my own words on me when he hears me talk negatively. Very cool.
    4. Notice the small stuff. Notice how happy the simplest every day things really do make me feel. :D
    5. More Pinterest tonight for organizational ideas, and quilting ideas. :DCame up with some really cool quilting ideas. Can't wait to get my sewing area set up this coming weekend and start. I need something to take my focus off work.
    6. Treadmill or DVD tonight. No excuses. :sOkay. Since I said no excuses, I won't bother to even try to make one up. I just didn't do it again.
    7. Read out of my Simple Abundance... book. Start my project. :)Read out of the book. Journaled. Did not start other project yet, however.
    8. Unplug one hour early and bed. :/Nope. Horrible night's sleep. Woke up Wednesday with a migraine.
    9. Be kind and patient with my colleagues. We are all stressed...not just me. Try to walk away from negativity if I can't turn it around. :)Done.

    Just for Thursday:
    1. Hydrate
    2. Journal every bite good or bad
    3. Get at least one item completely finished and off my Task List at work today. Begin researching info for the eLearning module I need to create for training.
    4. Get my hair cut and colored tonight and relax while I'm there. No working in the chair. Bring a book!
    5. Get ready for tomorrow, tonight. Pack lunch bag and set out clothes. Early day.
    6. Unplug and head to bed one hour early tonight
    7. Read in Simple Abundance... and write in gratitude journal.
    8. At least one random act of kindness today

    Word for 2017: Serenity

    Goals for March:
    1. Drop one size in pants
    2. Make exercise a habit at least 3 times a week.
    3. Eliminate added sugar
    4. Hit my water intake goal 24 of 31 days
    5. Write down 5 things I'm grateful for at the end of each day, no matter how big or small.

    Thursday:
    Take the day off recording. PMS Sucks. PMS when I can't see because my eyes are dilated is even better. - Not exactly difficult to accomplish
    Do not nap at work - no matter how tired I get - Success - even managed to get into a groove.
    Drink plenty of water (normally not a problem, however my day started wonky with the doc appt so it may throw off how many (32oz) bottles of water I drink. (normally two at work and one at home, but the late start may make one at work.) - If we count the tall cappuccino and the 2 cups I drank after midnight, then I drank a bit more than usual.

    JFT Friday:
    Record again. Normal day, normal behavior. (PMS notwithstanding)
    aim for that 100 calorie boundary
    Watch a movie
    Maybe paint some, or watch a movie, or play a video game.

    JFT Weekend:
    Actually get in here and set JFT goals for each day.

    Yesterday R 3/2/17
    1) Drink 10 glasses of water or decaf tea for cold - Yes 10 :smile:
    2) Walk >10,000 steps and/or 25 flights of stairs - Yes 27 flights and >7,000 steps :smile: but no strength or energy for treadmill in evening
    3) Floss - Yes :smiley:
    4) Bedtime by 10:00 - 10:30 - Yes 10:28 plus fell asleep on couch (before bed) with head cold zapping me :smile:

    Just for today F 3/3/17
    1) Take care of myself with crummy head cold...at least it's just a stuffed up head and drippy nose, not the raw throat and coughing this time. But I can't think! Others at work are the same, no wonder I can't escape it again.
    2) Drink 10 glasses of water
    3) If I start feeling better, get on treadmill for 1.5 miles - no dog walks with snow & ice covered streets and high of 23F. I've fallen enough times and have learned to more cautious.

    For the weekend, log.
