Thursday
50 from goal of 500 pushups in 5 days1 -
Been away for a couple of days so not managed to post. Food hasn't been great while I've been away.... but I've been on my feet a lot which has got to burn calories, right....?!
Anyway, back to business. Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks at all
- Yoghurt only for dessert (dinner)
- G&T only this evening
- 30+ minute lunch break
- Meditate
- No faffing or perfectionism - power through and get stuff done
- Don't get annoyed by irritating managers. I'll find a way to get around them eventually.

Just for today: Thursday
Water 8-
Stay calm and handle stress level-did good at work not so much at home
Stay busy
Well, for the first time this year, had a nice little binge last night. Got into the Hickory Farms basket. AND the rum. Of course, feel crappy about it. Gonna log it now, then stare at that crappy red line for the next week. It's weigh in Friday
. Hoping I didn't gain.
Just for today:
Water 8
10000 steps
Be productive
Don't be too hard on myself. I have eaten that way most of my life. Does not make, break, or define me
No self sabotaging behaviors
Happy Friday2 -
Goals just for today:
Log accurately!
Drink extra water
Have about 50 cals leftover1 -
JFT Fri 10 Feb:
1. 2 Pints water
2. Stay in calorie limits
3. 10 min exercise
4. Put away bags of clothes from bedroom into garage bins
5. Get screen material into house!
6. Say "Thank you" to each of my children about something today
7. Peacefulness
I totally skipped yesterday. Pretty bad day. Getting such a slow start at this.
I DID get the one box of junk out of house, though. I got in "thank you's" (some words of appreciation) to over half my children (the 7 that are still home), and I will try to shoot for that again today. And I've been drinking more fluids--not quite water, but I think I can count good homemade broth and tea?!?!!
@Bex953172 : I like your idea of a Word for February!...I think mine needs to be Unshakeable--as in, imperturbable, steady, "unrattle-able" Thanks for the idea!

[Thursday:
Stay within 100 calories of goal (one day, I will achieve this. I have a plan for tonight.) - Apparently my plan needs to include going over by so many calories first. I forgot I have a tendency to get more as the evening wears on. Maybe tonight.
Go to bed by 10pm (I did it once, I can do it again) - But not last night. 10:30 though... asleep relatively quickly too. It probably would have been a great night's sleep if I hadn't spent the last hour of it dreaming about being awakened by my co-workers. (In their defense, my bed was at work.)
Be patient with my daughter. I swear. Every time she gets a head cold, she's sure she has a sinus infection. She stubs a toe and it's gotta be broken. I love her, but dang. - I was patient-ish. She has another knee brace for her collection though. *sigh*
JFT:
the Goal is more of a guideline, really. Not sure about dinner tonight. Taking my son to see Lego Batman, and may or may not grab dinner. Depends on what he wants as to where we go.
Go to bed whenever I feel like it, because it's Friday night, and I get to sleep in.
JFTW (Weekend):
Do my chores (work on litter box positioning, and make a dent in the kitchen)
Enjoy spending time and eating with friends at game night
talk to game night host about me dialing back my participation a bit. I think I'm getting too old for this.
Don't sit in a strategic place while Pokemon Hunting on Sunday afternoon. Walk a bit. Maybe make Sunday my highest step count day.
Watch The Walking Dead with my daughter.2 -

Click the quote button under your post. Edit out what you don't want, and add what you do.
But if you want to actually edit and not create a new post, mouse over your post and then click on the gear, (or long press in the mobile app I think) and then select Edit. Add what you want. Save Post.
Except it only gives you an hour to edit, in which case you're stuck with option 1. (and I edited this post multiple times. It tells you when a post is edited underneath it, next to the original timestamp of the post.)2 -

1. Eat healthy and journal Not too bad. I'm in a hotel on this work trip and instead of going to McDonalds drive thru, I went to Walmart and bought an Atkin's low carb frozen dinner and had almonds and yogurt for snack.
Impressive! I used to be a road warrior, and never did this. But I did pack food for my lunches for four days as my hotel had mini-fridges in the rooms.1 -

Doesn't matter how slow you start, you're still doing it! There will be plenty of missed days, not every day can be perfect!
That's a brilliant word! May use that for March lol

JFT - Thursday & Friday Goals
1. Eat healthy snacks and get a healthy dinner from diner.
2. HYDRATE
Really need to step this up. I am getting very dehydrated and I can tell by how lightheaded I am. I need to take better care of myself on the road.
3. Get REST tonight. Do not work all night. only what you HAVE to get done tonight.
Worked 14-16 hours both days.
4. Set out tomorrow's stuff, tonight, so I can get out the door early in the morning for the class I am teaching tomorrow.
5. Call husband and check in tonight.
6. One random act of kindness. Done!
7. Gratitude journal.
I didn't write down what I was grateful for, but I did spend time thinking about it, so I think that still counts since the point is to remind myself of all the blessings in our life.
J4T - Saturday
1. Eat healthy and journal everything.
2. HYDRATE! I am severely lacking in this area and it is affecting how I feel.
3. Pack everything and travel from this hotel to the city I'm working in next week. I cannot wait to be done and go home!
4. Get some activity in.
5. Relax and get some rest tonight.
6. Gratitude journal and read a few more chapters in my book.
7. Try not to let myself feel anxious or stressed about next week. It will all be fine. I'm good at my job and have nothing to worry about!2 -
