It's a major motivation and I want to keep up this great trend! I know things would be much better if i was drinking more water... so that will be my mail goal for today:
Just for today:
Drink 8 glasses of Water❌
Stay within Carb goal❌
RELAX and enjoy the day✅ (I've been stressing BIG time for the past week and a half... not sleeping properly etc because I need to make some BIG life decisions about my job etc. this week)
Go to Bible study tonight ✅(It's been a long time and I know this will do me some good. especially in terms of my anxiety levels).
So I didn't make my food or water goals today... but it was a very good day overall. I'm feeling calmer and happier and I think I've finally made some decisions about where my life is going.
Tomorrow's goals:
Drink 8 glasses of water
Stay within Carb goal
No sugar
Stay zen (do NOT let work stress me out)

Recap W 10/25
1) Walked dog 3.02 miles before work, saw Orion and Venus = happy me and happy dog
2) Happy hour with former colleagues after work / enjoy one drink and their company / order healthier option from menu, or better yet, eat leftovers when get home = 1 pint beer & "healthier" pub food & popcorn for supper. To counteract, I drank 14c water and Fitbit 14,674 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 40 floors. Hope this helps.
3) Bring planters in / frost warning tonight = Almost forgot, but done. And so pleased to see that hubby switched screen insert for glass in front door.
4) Floss / bedtime & TV off 10:15 (need my sleep!) = Yes / almost (10:20)
JFT R 10/26
1) Walked dog 3.02 miles before work, have to reroute slightly due to road closed, but can't see what b/c it's pre-dawn. A bit nippy this morning at 34F. Hard to see stars with light cloud cover. Happy dog.
2) Stop at service station & have "check tire pressure" light on 2012 car checked & cleared. My old 1997 car never warned me.
3) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
4) Net calories green
5) Do > 4 items on to-do list in evening, either before or after choir rehearsal....500th anniversary of Reformation this weekend, singing at 3 services over 2 days.
6) Unwind 9:30 / floss / bedtime & TV off 10:15
Have a great day, everyone!3 -
JFT 10/25/17:
1. Log food, stay within macros - Front loaded calories before noon yesterday; not really a strategy just a coincidence but wanted to note it.
2. visit MLOG - woo hoo! already done.
3. Finish correspondence -
4. seriously, I gotta write web content today - First draft, so progress but I can't scratch it off yet
5. Practice vulnerability when engaging with my stepson - Good discussion about my mental health struggles to make it safe for him to discuss his, a step toward normalizing the issues to reduce part of the struggle (note: both getting medical attention but we don't discuss the problems openly and I have a sense it will help all of us - I hope so)
JFT 10/26/17
1. Log food, stay within macros
2. Mythical land of Gym again - does anyone else use a program at the gym that interfaces with MFP? Our Y has it and it's cool but for some reason yesterday didn't work quite right; likely user error
3. Continue web content tasks
4. Update LinkedIn profile and connections
5. Practice vulnerability by revealing something personal to someone I don't know well. I think this can be a small thing, perhaps unimportant to the receiver, but an act of courage for me.
Hope it's a good day for all of you!3 -
Yesterday
1. Drink 9 cups of water. I think I got more, but I know I at least got 9.
2. Stay green in calories. 229 left, but my carbs and fat were crazy high. Oops!
3. Clean the house for speech evaluation at 4pm. It wasn't perfect, but it's never going to be which is fine.
4. 3000 steps 5309! All that cleaning helped.
5. Stay productive during nap time. Don't go nap with him. There's too much to do! As tempting as it was, I stayed up, cleaned, and did homework.
Today
1. Stay green on calories
2. At least one quiz done
3. Go for a walk after work
4. Hair color tonight
5. Work on schedule starting next month4 -

It will definitely help!
Being open and honest about how you feel and how it affects you is a big part!
It’s accepting you as a person with a mental health struggle.
Me and my partner are both unwell mentally, his life long, mine “short term” even though I’ve had it going on 3 years now!
Talks around mental health do need to be normalized and talking about r will keep you and your step son!
Well done!
It’s not an easy thing to do!

@cschmitz110515 : choir rehearsal....500th anniversary of Reformation this weekend, singing at 3 services over 2 days.
That's a lot of singing! Will you be singing in a Lutheran church? The church where I played for 10 years is having an organ recital on Sunday, based on Lutheran chorales; lots of good music that was adapted from those chorales, especially by Johann Sebastian Bach.1 -

Good Morning Everyone!
Enjoyed yoga yesterday. I was the least coordinated person in the room but I felt so good afterwards and it's carrying over into today. A real mood elevator. I still had to take 3 ibuprofen before bed but it'll improve as I continue w/classes. The instructor even spritzed lavender oil on our wrists!
While pretracking my meals today, I clicked on Success Stories on the MFP home page and read an inspiring story. Picked up a few pointers that I hope to apply today such as increasing my water and how to make commitments stick, etc.
Heading out to walk dog then yoga - again!
Research kettle ball routines online.
Drink water 11 CUPS
Track meals today.
Preplan weekend meals, do some prepping.
Finish up baking.
Listen to podcast while walking.
Journal.
Try to break the cycle of procrastination.
Meditate Calm App today.
Try making homemade chai tea.
Bed by 10. Finally went to bed early last night and feel so much better. It's a cycle that I have to break once in a while.
I bought Halloween candy, it's in the closet. 2 days ago I broke open one bag and had two fun size pieces but I didn't log them. Going fw I will log if I eat any more but I'm hoping I won't. I will try to drink something hot instead.
I'm rooting for you all!!
