    JFT Friday
    1. Water :)
    2. Meditation :)
    3. Studio time and minimalist podcast :):)
    4. Hubby's specialist appt :) went well. He's not really aware that my first husband started out with the same thing as he went for, ended up with cancer and lost vision in one of his eyes. That doesn't mean I didn't tell him. He just doesn't want to think about these things. So he's also not aware how it impacts others.
    5. Pool :/ move to tomorrow. Hubby wanted to go for lunch after his appt. We both ended up with massive heartburn.
    6. Subway for dinner :/ tomorrow
    7. Brush and floss :)
    8. Bed by 10:30 :)

    I didn’t set much JFT yesterday but mentally kept note of things I did achieve (most) and things I did not (didn’t drink enough water).

    Today I will be:
    Walk raffi
    Apple cider vinegar
    Eat within macros/calories
    Do laundry
    Burn incense
    Drink 2 litres of water

    @Faebert You have an awesome weekend as well! I bet we'd all love to see a picture of the cake! I know I would! You are such a good Momma! Try not to stress out too much and just enjoy the mayhem that is a child's birthday party. Lol

    So tired - kids all snuggled up on their sleepover watching movies and I’m still wearing my glow sticks and neon face paint! :D Great party though so worth the exhaustion!

    - early workout ✅
    - Yoga ✅
    - Get beds ready for sleepover ✅
    - Shopping delivery 11:30 ✅
    - Party! ✅

    Tomorrow is Mother’s Day in the UK so once the girls have been picked up I think I’m heading to my Mum and dad’s for some relaxation.

    Goals for 11/3:
    - rest
    - Water
    - Stay within calorie goal (may be tricky as my parents make big and yummy celebration lunches!)

    Night gang - wish me luck with the hyper 9 year olds! X

    Well, this morning has definitely been better! After church this morning the DH and I have decided to start a few new practices in our home. Just simple things to help us feel closer to each other and such. I'm pretty excited to get started. We ended up going to the later service because we forgot about the clocks jumping ahead. But it was still a good service and our Pastor ended about on time. He has a habit of going on past the end time. Lol.

    Anyway!

    I made a PB/Greek Yogurt dip to try last night. I had my first portion with apple slices and it was really good! It was plain yogurt which I'm not really a fan of but the sweetness of the PB balanced it out nicely. So I think that will be one of my new snacks. Lol.

    Going over M&M's for a birthday dinner for the DH. It's gonna be a good night but definitely calorie laden. I will do the best I can to log. I have a feeling though that it won't work out too well. Lol.

    I hope everyone is having a great day!

    Weekly Sunday weigh-in.

    GOALS:

    Starting weight Jan 1, 2017: 217
    Starting weight Jan 1, 2018: 195.5

    1st Goal weight:175
    2nd goal weight: 170
    (5'11" tall, 66 years old)


    Progress so far - year 2017:
    Jan 1: 217
    Feb 1: 211
    March 1: 205.4
    April 1: 202.6
    May 1: 204.6
    June 1: 200.4
    July 1: 199.2
    August 1: 195.6
    Sept 1: 192.8
    October 1: 191.8
    November 1: 187.7
    December 1: 187.0

    2018:
    January 1, 2018: 194.5
    Feb 1, 2018: 190.2
    March 1, 2018: 193.6


    weekly weigh-ins every sunday:
    March 4: 194.6 -- this is what happens with a week of not logging, eating whatever I want, and just not caring.
    March 11 -191.8 ---- had a pretty good week, except for one day, but I ate less the next day and tried to exercise more. Hoping to get below the 190s in the next 2 weeks!.


    March Goals
    1. GET UNDER the 190s!!! Even if it is only 189 ---- but get out of the 190s. Todays weight was 193.6, so this is doable.
    2. try to consistently log my food 5x a week...... and try to stay under calorie goals at least 4-5x a week.
    3. work hard on getting in my water - 8 cups, at least 5x a week.
    4. I have incorporated going to the gym as a habit not, but it is also a habit I could easily break if I am not careful. So for this month again, go to the gym 5x a week minimum

    Hey, YOU, yes, I'm talking to you! You have got this goal...and you know how to do it, too! Gym, water (don't forget Operation: Red Cup!), and stay within your MFP count. You've done it. You can do it now. And if I can give you just a wee, small, I'm pointing 9 fingers at me, advice: stay out of Walgreens, Target, Walmart, and the candy aisle at the grocery store. From my observations, this is where you get waylaid. Put a big note on your dash: Sacrifice is giving up something that is good for something that is BETTER: Stay away from the candy!!! If your daughter wants candy, she can get it herself! or your husband can! We are all here rah-rah-ing you to this victory! Go Joan! Go Joan! Go Joan!

    @clicketykeys I'm with you! I absolutely HATE DST! I never quite catch up to that lost hour when I have to get up one hour earlier. UGH. Dreading it already.

    @toaljasa I'm with you! GO JOAN! GO JOAN! GO JOAN! You got this!

    @Faebert That cake is absolutely AMAZING! I love it! You did a great job and I'll bet all the kids loved it! Nice job!

    I had goals in my head for yesterday but didn't manage to do real well with them. I fell off the ice cream wagon last night and I am not proud of it. Comfort food again...which I did not need!

    I had goals in mind for today too. I have not reached them all, but I did reach the ones that mattered the most to me.

    Sunday, I DID:
    1. Logged all my food
    2. Stayed green
    3. Cleaned bathroom and scrubbed bathtub
    4. Baked my husband Old-Fashioned Oatmeal, raisin and walnut cookies
    5. Cleaned and rearranged the back spare room and made it into my "Book Nook" Yea! I've been wanting to do this.
    6. Swept and vacuumed floors
    7. Picked out tomorrow's clothes for work
    8. Packed tomorrow's lunch

    So, considering I have not been feeling good and I'm on Day 12 of influenza, I think I did pretty good. I hope I didn't overdo it because I am returning to work tomorrow and it is the first day I had the energy to get up off the couch and do something. I always tend to do more than I should and put myself back down. So, here's crossing my fingers that tomorrow goes well. I've been out of work for 2 weeks, so it will be good to get back and see how far behind I am! *groan*

    Just for Monday:
    1. Journal every bite
    2. 75 oz of water
    3. Get up and move every 30 to 60 minutes
    4. Do NOT stress out over being behind at work. Use breathing, Calm or Headspace apps, or walking meditation if I begin to feel overwhelmed.
    5. Listen to Optimal Living & Optimal Health podcasts, as well as minimalism podcasts
    6. Attend to Body, Mind & Spirit
    7. Reach out with one random act of kindness today
    8. Prep for Tuesday
    9. Unplug at 9:00 and read Simple Abundance, Beck's Diet Solution & New Day New You (joyce meyer), and write in gratitude journal

    I cannot control what happens to me, but I certainly can control how I react to it!

    Recap Sat. 3/10 ~ Instead of Chinese buffet (hubby's choice), we ate late lunch at another buffet (Golden Corral). I overate, but not like I used to. Felt physically sick to my stomach after, so good learning experience. Also, maybe evidence my stomach is shrinking?
    1) Drink water whenever I can...this will be hard today with all the time away from home = Not really sure since stopped logging with post-dog-walk snacks. Maybe 10c? :neutral:
    2) Walk dog / ice (mostly) gone from area roads and beautiful sunny day (still cold ~ temp in 20s with wind chill) = 3.35 miles 57:39 & happy dog B) Fitbit 13,753 steps, 250+ steps 10/14 & 38 floors
    3) Remember be at church 4:30 / choir sings in 5:00 service = This is why I hate going to Sat. service...I got busy and almost left late. Thank goodness, hubby asked me what time I said I needed to leave? :#
    4) BFF & her hubby pick me up 6:15 (he is our DD / designated driver) / have a blast at 8th Annual Beer & Biscuits charity event ~ samples of adult beverages (craft beer & wine) and food (mostly desserts & cheese) ~ no logging & no regrets! Benefit for area no-kill animal shelter. Maybe get silent auction item this year! = Great time with friends tasting our way around the room, tried some marvelous drinks and food. Almost got two funky, wonderful prints (one cats, one dogs) in silent auction, but after bidding 3 times, I was outpriced. Good, bc funds go to animals. Bumped into friend we volunteer with at holiday parade, and she remarked she noticed my weight loss, said I looked good, so it's obvious to people I don't see on a regular basis! :smiley:

    JFT Sun. 3/11 ~ didn't post earlier
    1) Walked dog 3.9 miles 1:05:38 ~ glad we went while still sunny & happy dog B)
    2) Drink plenty water to flush system
    3) Usual breakfast / leftovers day / net calories green
    4) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15

    JFT M 3/12
    1) Treadmill before work (hate getting up in dark again)
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    3) Usual breakfast & snacks / leftovers for lunch / not sure of supper / net calories green
    4) At least 1-2 to-do's
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15
