2. Attend Patchwork Group this morning
Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing
What a great idea! I feel much of my binge eating or late night snacking is due to boredom sitting in front of the TV, finally " relaxing"... I'm not into quilting but it seems like I need to find something that works for me. Any ideas?
I do all sorts of crafts, paint watercolours, write poetry. I am an ex-teacher, so I run 4 groups for a local charity and belong to another 10 or so, but will have to put them on hold until I recover from my hip op. I have a new patchwork project, my first full quilt, which I hope will keep me busy.

1. Listen to the Doctor/physio and follow there instructions

On track for a speedy recovery
JFT Wed 9/09

Had good days on Wednesday through Saturday. Daily goals were pretty much the same for each day.
Helped prep some food yesterday which was a great boost. I spent an hour shelling peas. This morning I got up and made myself a cup of tea.
Forgot to post this yesterday lol. It was Michael's birthday. My daughter has gone off on honeymoon to visit the West of Ireland, a week in Rome then a visit to Amsterdam on her way home. We are looking after her dogs for the two weeks.

I will stay within 20% of my calorie goal
I will work out for 50 minutes
I will express my wellness mantra
I am expressing gratitude for what I should have focused on yesterday, 9/11. Living in this great country where I have the freedom and abilities do accomplish whatever I want to in life.
20% over my calories but had an active and fun day. Didn't follow my 3/4 program at breakfast or dinner. Overage was lemonade, bread and butter.
Walked 3 miles at under 17 min a mile
Didn't reinforce my wellness mantra.
For today:
Headed home after 7 days on the road.
I will stay under my calorie goal. I mean it.
I will reinforce my wellness mantra
I will work out for 40 minutes and do my exercise routine mindfully
I am expressing gratitude for my parents. Today, focusing on the fact that they're active, mobile and sharp in their mid 80's.0 -
JFT be productive in everything I do -- make healthy food, go to gym, market, laundry, do mending that has been here for months; re-organize shelving stuff; watch football. Sounds like a good day to me! I am mad at myself, was planning on hiking early this AM with a new group, but it poured rain all day yesterday, just poured, so I passed and slept in. Sure enough it is beautiful this morning and I missed the hike. Trying not to beat myself up too much, I will catch the next hike.0

Just for today. I will be attentive to what I eat with balance and portion control in mind0

Good day yesterday. Stayed on track and even got in a gym workout that wasn't scheduled so that felt good. Today in an all-day function so have planned and packed all my food.
JFT: Not feeling so great so my commitment for today is just to get through it on plan.0 -

1. Leave the ice cream alone that I so stupidly bought yesterday. Even though it is "skinny cow" ice cream, I still can't just eat one.
2. Take a long walk today.
3. Get back on the plan. I was doing so well, but had 2 days with too much sugar, which is bad for me.
4. Work on cleaning the house today. A uncluttered, clean house makes a person feel so much better. I have been doing so much sewing (17 charity lap quilts done so far. But as a result, house work has suffered!
I just discovered a website called James Clear. I am going to start reading his free books - about changing your habits.0 -
