    Pretracked most of the day.
    Make healthy food choices.
    Drink 9 C water
    We're dog sitting another big dog so hoping I can join DH walking them at a hilly park after I go to church.
    Meditate with Calm app after lunch.
    Mow lawn.
    Self care.
    Early to bed. 9:30.
    Determined to go to the gym tomorrow.

    Nice & cool near Boston today so perfect weather for yard work & my decluttering/purging mission!

    After posting my JFT Sunday, I began my day organizing everything to "tackle" for the day and was struck with inspiration to change the entire day. My family has been struggling in many ways as most of my attention is towards school. Therefore, I decided to spend the entire Sunday putting pieces back together and restructuring an environment of positivity. I am feeling very encouraged about the new things I've implemented and I'm looking forward to a more peaceful and positive environment. o:) Two key things, I did not do any Physics school work yesterday (which was a much needed break!) And I was ASLEEP before 10:30 pm!!!! (which has not happened in some time) Everything else would Intel a very lengthy post, therefore I'll sum it up as a new chapter has begun ;)

    Moving Forward:

    7/31 Monday JFT:

    ✔Awake at 5 am
    ✔Completed Physics Lab HW (due today)
    ✔Devotional time
    ✔Prep lunches for the day (I do this everyday usually)
    Attend Classes
    Tutoring
    Run Errands (mail, tax office, etc)
    Run on elliptical
    Dinner by 7:30 pm
    Miniature Family Meeting
    Physics HW and Online HW (Finish Ch. 28 & 29)
    Bedtime by midnight

    Here I go.......

    Everyone is doing great!!! Hang-in there and BE ENCOURAGED TODAY☆☆☆☆☆

    Recap Sunday 7/30
    1) Church 9:00 :smile:
    2) Walk dog = Actually woke up before alarm (again...what?) & walked dog before church on another gorgeous morning. Met up w/ Kim & Bogie, so cute. :smiley:B)
    3) Spend time with hubby = had a great day <3<3<3

    Driving 1 1/2 hrs this afternoon to Mom & Dad's where I will spend 2 nights. Tomorrow is annual Girls Day Out with Mom, aunt, sister & SIL. Tradition began in 2004 when everyone except me went shopping for dresses to wear to my wedding. We've had annual GDO every year since but one (skipped when nephew got married / we attended bridal shower and wedding together instead). The day usually involves shopping, lots of talking and eating, and is always finished with dessert / sometimes adult beverages. Tomorrow I won't be logging at all / giving myself a total break.

    JFT M 7/31 before I leave town
    1) Walked dog 3.43 miles on another gorgeous a.m. / little sticky....I could get used to these sunny days, but know it won't last B)B)B)B)
    2) Update weekly weigh-in log
    3) Update monthly goals / set Aug goals
    4) Balance checkbooks...behind again, such a pain with weekly payday & transfers
    5) Wash dishes
    6) Pack for GDO / remember walking shoes & clothes / planning to walk w/ sister & aunt W a.m.
    7) Big hug & kiss hubby goodbye when he leaves for work / won't see him until Th

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories / sometimes too much. My weaknesses: my sweet tooth, especially chocolate, and portion control. I weigh myself daily and log weekly / posting my Saturday a.m. weigh-in here. [My digital scale only shows half pound increments.]

    5/31 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations
    6/3 = 177.5
    6/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    6/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    6/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    7/1 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    7/8 = 177.5
    7/15 = 176.5
    7/22 = 175.0

    Sunday
    1. lunch with daughter :) Had a nice time - tried a new breakfast place, but I only had a bagel. Then went to the used book store, so she is stocked up on books!
    2. cut out mat to go on steps, so we can recarpet them :)
    3. laundry :/
    4. log all food :)
    5. concentrate on water :)
    6. CLOSE THE KITCHEN tonite --- going on DAY FIVE!!!!! :) I had to close the kitchen early! Got into ice cream, so I was way over my calories I wanted to be. Lesson learned (again), eat planned meals. On the weekends, if I don't site down and have lunch, I tend to graze. Today it was on ice cream! But .... I closed the kitchen at least for the rest of the day
    7. lay out gym clothes for tomorrow morning :) I did this, but didn't get to the gym this morning -- just really tired, and decided to maybe take a rest day

    JFT, MOnday
    1. lay out gym clothes for tomorrow
    2. go to zumba tonite or for a walk since I skipped the gym
    3. log all food
    4. kitchen is closed ALL DAY, except for meals and a planned snack. Especially after dinner - LOCK THAT KITCHEN! Going on DAY SIX!!!!
    5. brush and floss teeth after dinner - water only
    6. drink water

    Off the topic --- but do you guys know what I would have done to make the "discussions" in the tinest print!! I can hardly read it. I must have hit somthing - now I can't figure how how to change it back. When I enter food, etc., that is OK - its just the discussion forums.

    Had a great day. For those in relationships, do you every have days where you feel like you are missing a part of yourself because your SO isn't by your side? Maybe it's because we've only been married 3 years, but there are days where I just really really miss my DH. Am I weird for feeling that way?

    1. Logged all food
    2. Stayed in the green
    3. Picked food up from the store
    4. Laundry
    5. Dishes
    6. Revised budget
