    Happy Birthday Bex, and congratulations on the new baby; she's adorable! Take one day at a time; things will get better. I remember being overwhelmed with the second child, but it eventually got sorted out.

    Asclepsia:
    Taking a page from cschmidt; if it's out there for others to see, I'll be more committed.
    Height: 5- 8.5 inches
    Weight: starting weight--168
    1/1/ 2018=168.0
    2/1/2018: 164.0
    3/1/2018: 166.
    3/15/2018: 165.2
    Short term goal: 162 by April 1

    Back to logging food and being accountable; I've been slacking off the last month or so, and it shows. When I got weighed at the doctor's office yesterday, I had gained about 3-4 pounds--obviously going in the wrong direction. I didn't get any lectures, but I felt disappointed in myself.
    JFT:
    Log all food, even little snicky-snacks. :)
    Water: 6 cups--5, I think
    Exercise: 20" or more---15"
    Study for master gardener's class--yes--got folder organized and study sheets run off.
    Tidy living room area--organ tuner arrives tomorrow, and there needs to be a path to the instrument. yes--and the organ sounds so much better; the pedals work now! Yahoo!

    Welcome back! You were missed! Good job getting things done today! That is an awesome feeling when a lot of things get done!

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food...my sweet tooth, especially chocolate...portion control...FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I weigh myself daily and log weekly / posting my Saturday a.m. weigh-in here. [My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.]

    Age 60, 5'4" (lost 1/2" somewhere)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 140 - 145 [anything less is probably unsustainable]
    March Goal = 152.5

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    07/08 = 177.5 oops
    07/15 = 176.5
    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
    09/16 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!
    09/23 = 168.5 have lots challenges in upcoming week
    09/30 = 167.0 met Sept goal to stay under 170
    10/07 = 166.0
    10/14 = 166.5 dined out 2 days with adult beverages plus wine & cheesecake at spa
    10/21 = 166.5 dined out 2 days plus food day in office / no gain is good [joined Just Give Me 10 Days challenge (daily w/i)]
    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week
    11/25 = 163.0 no surprise after 2 no-logging-food days (parade day and Thanksgiving), just glad not worse
    12/02 = 161.0 Jingle Bell 5K day / 44:37 chip time & ave. pace 14:22 & very happy!
    12/09 = 158.5 surprised to say the least / first time in 10 years my weight is 1-5-anything! :love:
    12/16 = 158.0 no work parties or food days & stuck with CICO
    12/23 = 157.5 no "workouts" but shoveled snow & snowshoed, busy with Christmas preparations
    12/30 = 159.0 Christmas Day no food/beverages logged
    01/06/18 = 159.0 New Year's Eve hubby & I splurged on treats & beverages (at home), and I did not log...totally worth it!
    01/13 = 157.0 big surprise! Yesterday evening, walked in Frenzy on the Fox 5K in 47:26 & pace 15:19. Very happy with my time, wore layers of clothes in 10 degrees & NNW 12 mph wind, fun event.
    01/20 = 156.5
    01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing
    02/03 = sick / no weigh in
    02/10 = 152.5 unhealthy loss due to illness / I know weight will go back up & I'm totally fine with that
    02/17 = 153.0 thrilled with annual physical on 2/15/18: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:
    02/24 = 154.0 little out of control last week, but at goal for the month
    03/03 = 155.5 oops / still lower than before I was sick
    03/10 = 153.5 back on track
    03/17 = 152.5

    1. Log all food :)Didnt eat much today, I guess. I didn't hit my original calorie goal let alone eating back all the exercise ones
    2. 94oz water :)Dont know exactly how much but I am willing to bet that I did
    3. Up by 7:20 w/ DH :):DThis morning was absolutely terrible! I dont ever want to relive that. Everyone is okay,
    at least. I ended up going back to sleep after the DH left for work at 8. I slept until 11:15!
    5. Coffee/Tea time :)I had a cup of coffee at 7:30 and didn't have another one until 11:15. The DH didn't get any tea this morning.
    6. Bible/Meditate/Pray :/Sleeping in completely screwed up my day
    7. Yoga :/See above
    8. Gym :/See above...yet again
    9. DROP OFF THE DANG BOOK! :'(I didn't really leave the house today. I'm heading to that part of town tomorrow and have to pass right by the library so I will do it then
    10. Shower :|Didnt go to the gym so I didn't really see the point. I'll do it in the morning. Lol
    11. Meal Prep :)Did this at least! About an hour and a half
    12. Lunch/Dinner in the Crock :)Ate lunch really late but I got dinner going on time.
    13. Take out leftovers for tomorrow :)Defrosting in the fridge as we speak
    14. Needles(possibly) :'(Postponed until Monday afternoon
    15. Clean kitchenette/walls :/Didnt have the energy to/just didn't want to
    16. DH time :)Doing this now. Spent about an hour and a half folding laundry and doing dishes
    17. Dinner/Dishes :)Was yummy and very filling. It was a ton of food and only about 350 calories
    18. Bed by 11 :)Probably. It's 9:30 and I'm exhausted.

    Other than the freak out my DH had this morning because of the cat it was a really good calm day. The DH had an insanely busy day at work but it was quiet here while he was there. At one point I was lounging on the couch, covered in a blanket and a cat in my lap. I had absolutely no desire to get up and do anything. I managed to finally get up and throw in some laundry.

    Tomorrow is going to be a very quiet day.

    JFT, 3/18/18

    1. Up @ 7:30 w/ the DH
    2. Coffee/ Tea time
    3. Breakfast/Yoga
    4. Church
    5. Shopping with M
    6. DH time
    7. Dinner(leftover Shepherd's Pie)/Dishes
    8. Bed by 11

    I think this is the quietest day I've had in a very long time. Lol

    Love this thread, great idea.
    Goal today, for Sun., 3/18, is to do cardio and & lift. Tried this new pre-workout powder from Vitamin Shoppe called “NUTRABIO.” It already removed all the tiredness and procrastination and gave great mental sharpness. Going to see if it helps the workout . . .
