Yesterday M 3/6/17, had in-house training for the entire morning. Due to budget constraints, no refreshments provided except water. Therefore, no temptation! Head cold seems to be a little improved. For the rest of today:
1) Walk 10,000 steps, including treadmill in evening - Yes treadmill 1.5 miles and Fitbit >11,500 steps
2) Floss...with cold, my streak ended over weekend - Yes
3) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off - Yes
Just for today T 3/7/17 Head cold definitely ending quickly = yay! Will spend entire afternoon doing Observation for work project = lots of sitting today.
1) Walk 10,000 steps...evening, walk dog if weather cooperates, or treadmill
2) Evening, wash dishes and either organize tax docs or work on financial analysis (this is time sensitive!)
3) Floss
4) Bedtime by 10:30 (getting good at keeping TV off on weekdays)

J4T Thursday
1. Stick to 1200 calories
2. Stay under 100 carbs

I had a great day last Thursday and started Friday off great. I was able to do some deep cleaning in my house, which I have not been able to do in months because of my low energy level. It sure feels great to be getting back to normal.
Then I slacked off a bit over the weekend...
But, did great on Monday (Zumba) and Tuesday!
J4T Wednesday
1. Get my lazy buns up in time to go to Zumba
2. Grocery shopping and prep veggies
3. Take kids to youth group

Hey bri, are you over or under active? It's hell getting it right!
When I get pregnant mine goes haywire and then takes a while to settle post pregnancy!
Glad to hear you're on the right track x
It's great to meet you Bex!
I have low thyroid. Not fun, but I'm trying to get it figured out.1 -

I have been in a dark place lately and have not been doing any of the things I know I should be doing. Why do I sabotage myself? I know I feel better without sugar in my diet, and that lots of water makes me feel better. I know that journaling helps me keep a positive attitude. So, why have I spent the last week eating Girl Scout cookies and shoving crappy food in my mouth...not drinking water or journaling? UGH.
I have to pull myself together beginning today. So I'm going to keep it simple.
Hey, have you been peeking at my life.....?
Don't give up! You can do it!2 -
So many people here with colds. I'm so sorry and hope you will all feel better quickly!
Gee, I hope nobody sneezed on their posts! Then we would all be sick!
It's great to see lots of friends from the past AND lots of new friends!
Have a great day on Wednesday!

Bri: Thank you for your support! It's been just terrible lately. I'm usually pretty upbeat person so this is really getting old..
@linnea4: "Do not sing out loud at work" This made me laugh out loud at work and almost spit my coffee all over my desk! I have done this when wearing earbuds and listening to music without realizing it. OMG, my voice just sucks too! hahaha!
I was sitting through a trial on a jury for the last few days, so I have really not been on here or doing well. We are locked in a room and can't go get anything to eat, and they bring us donuts...you can fill in the blanks from there I'm sure! UGH.
So, tomorrow is a new start. I'm leaving work right now so I will post my goals for tomorrow when I get home.
Just wanted to pop in and say hello and that I'm thinking of you all and hoping everyone is hanging in there!

Not a stellar day. Did manage to get a walk in. Went for a pie date with some ladies from work. Turned into dinner as well. Too many cals earlier in the day. Not very exciting, but keeping the same goals.

Record everything
Eat out if the timing is right

Ha. Yeah, I'm fortunate, the closest people are a few desks away, so I probably wouldn't bother too many people, since I would do it quietly if at all, but people do walk up on occasion, and they don't need to hear me singing about how my friends are heathens...OConnell5483 wrote: »I was sitting through a trial on a jury for the last few days, so I have really not been on here or doing well.

Yeah, my most recent jury duty they let us out to get lunch, I walked to McDonald's (about a mile and a half round trip) and got a salad. No donuts (but they had vending machines...)
It'll get better.3 -

Ahhh.....a working washing machine....it's the little things that make life wonderful....
One positive thing about having a broken washing machine is...you really learn to enjoy doing the laundry when you get a new one!3 -
Yesterday W 3/8/17 - a busy day with Inquiry portion of work project in morning, project write-ups to complete, late afternoon board meeting, happy hour with former colleagues, and Lenten service at church
1) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - Yes, no idea how I managed this but 46 flights
2) Limit myself to one drink at happy hour; research menu online before going and aim for healthy(ish) option - Yes, had only 1 pint of beer and looked online for menu but big FAIL for the day...meeting place was boutique-type food, no menu online due to constant changing to use locally-sourced food (which I love) but the menu I saw had one item from a local source. I wondered where the mussels and crab cakes were sourced from, definitely not Green Bay WI. Anyway, the menu was very limited, very pricey and not too healthy. So I shared one person's fish taco order and ate leftovers when I finally got home after church at 8:15. But near bedtime, tired and still hungry, I binged on dry roasted peanuts directly from the jar, which is not a good thing. I estimated the portion after, and logged, but I had total calorie fail. And I only drank 7 glasses of water.
Ok, I'm done "venting my spleen" now, as one friend reminds me.
At least we had more show up this month, and had lots of fun catching up with each other. Thursday will be better.
3) Floss...keep it going! No
4) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off...clearly this is not a given with me - No 10:35
Start over just for today R 3/9/17
1) Drink 10 glasses of water
2) Participate in lunchtime spring hike on trails around my work building
3) Meditate in afternoon...this has been slipping again
4) Floss
5) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off4 -
Joining in on random March 9!
Just For Today:
1. Exercise 3x (1 time down already, planning a 3-mile run and 20 minutes on the bike during my lunch!)
2. Keep under my calorie goal; a challenge, since I'm going to a show tonight where they'll be serving snacks and alcohol. Usually the money is enough to deter me, but sometimes I get real indulgent and just say TO HELL WITH IT. One beer, Becky. One beer is all you get.
3. Drink 92oz of water.
See you tomorrow!5
