    That’s a good goal, I think the weekend gets a lot of us.

    Seems like lots of us struggle with keeping to our goals at the weekends. I find it really hard when I have lots of socialising to do. So far this weekend I’ve only had coffee with a couple of friends so no meals out. Am still planning a treat (of sorts) for tomorrow as have tried out a recipe I saw on here for a low cal high protein cheesecake. It’s chilling overnight and I’m hoping it’s tasty.

    Saturday goals
    - morning workout if feel like it (poss rest day) ✅
    - Pack girls for weekend/hairwash ✅
    - Yoga 10:30 ✅
    - Aim for 10k steps ✅
    - 2ltr water ✅
    - 15 mins outside exercise ✅
    - Vet at 2:20 ✅
    - Coffee with C 4:30 ✅
    - Gardening? :| tomorrow maybe
    - Stay within calorie goal ✅
    - Some pamper time (eyebrows, tan) ✅

    Sunday goals
    - sleep in! Rest day from workout
    - Yoga @ 8:30
    - 12k+ steps
    - 15 mins outdoor exercise
    - 3ltr+ water
    - Buy masonry paint

    Posting again tonight for tomorrow, since day will start pretty early...

    Recap Sat. 5/5 ~ Beautiful spring day & daffodils in front of house are finally starting to open... they make me think of little sunbursts! B)
    1) Walk dog / maybe a little farther? my footsies feeling much better / remember to stretch = 3.57 mi 1:05:01 pace 18:11 (right foot still little iffy) ~ happy dog & happy me B) Fitbit at 12,472 steps so far, 250+ steps 9/14 & 22 floors :smiley:
    2) Log all food / not sure about supper / nothing fried (health assessment in 10 days & don't want skewed readings from blood draw) / keep net calories in vicinity of green = Decided to change MFP setting to lose 1/2 lb. per week, since I've been so hungry lately and weight loss stalled for 3 months ~ means more net calories ~ woohoo! Day started by sleeping late, with very late breakfast after dog walk, then hubby & I had photo session, so we ate late lunch after at Olive Garden. I decided to try new "lighter" menu option of Chicken Giardino (it was delicious) and only ate half. Of course, that was after tons of salad & 2 breadsticks & water. Ate light, late supper at home. But net calories for Sat. are w/i new limits! :smiley: Unfortunately, sodium is way high, will have to flush that away tomorrow. :D
    3) >10c water (harder on weekends when out and about) = Drank water before leaving home, took water bottle to photo session, ordered water along with lunch and more water at home ~ 13c. :smiley:
    4) Smile pretty with hubby at photo session = Got some great photos, really happy with choices! :smiley:
    5) Not too late to bed :wink: winding down already & alarm all set / choir at church 7:20 a.m. Sunday

    JF Sunday 5/6
    1) Choir at church 7:20 a.m. to sing in 2 services (have to miss Bible class)
    2) Usual breakfast & snacks / leftovers for lunch & maybe supper... otherwise pick from 10 day meal plan / net calories green
    3) Drink at least 12c water to flush sodium
    4) Grocery shop w/ hubby (list mostly done) & have patience while he selects his cereal... honestly, he's like a little kid!
    5) Walk dog
    6) Yardwork with hubby: put out rain barrels / depoop back yard / unfence rose garden / haul leaves from rose garden & hostas out to curb / get out patio furniture
    7) Unplug 9:15 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15

    Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

    JFT Saturday Recap
    1. Have smoothie for breakfast :)
    2. Track water - pick up a gallon from the store maybe? >:) a better effort than usual, but did not track
    3. Be kind to yourself :)
    4. Clean kitchen, dining, living room, mud room :) Woowwwie! Although it took both Saturday and Sunday I DID IT.
    5. At least 1 load of laundry :) / :'( Got my one load done and into the dryer - started my second load, washer filled, and then wouldn't start. Ended up at the laundromat at 830 PM Sunday night. Now to find a replacement.
    6. Get some fresh air :) Opened all the windows in the house and listened to the happy birds while I cleaned. Visited the local seafood shack with the DH and the pup and enjoyed dinner outside.
    7. Dog bath today or tomorrow >:)
    8. Pick up propane tank >:)

    Weekend check ins are harder for sure - I think I may plan to take Sundays off. It's nice to disconnect completely for a day. However - I fumbled taking my medicine, and when I forget mine, I usually forget the dogs meds too. I've always struggled with meds and water on the weekend so I will look into ways I can improve that.

    I see once again I didn't even get my goals posted for today (or yesterday!!!). But I had a very busy, active weekend. Probably a little too much eating and margaritas (Cinco de mayo!).

    But I am also so upset. The trustee for our subdivision gives me $100 to buy and plant flowers for the entryway into out subdivision. So I got the plants -- ones I knew that the deer would leave alone. I got them all planted, fertilized, waterered etc.

    Well, 2 days later, about 12 of these plants are totally GONE! I was at a lost as to where they could go -- no signs of deer or any animal eating them. So I went back to the nursery to get more, and they told me it could be a "vole", which is a small mouse that will eat the roots and everything. They didn't see how a vole could eat 12 plants overnite, but I still went and got granules to put down to keep them from eating. So I did that yesterday, thinking I would see if it worked, and then today plant the ones that disappeared. Well... today ... 9 more plants are missing!!!! I think someone is coming through the nite and stealing them! I can't figure out what else is happening! I am so upset and frustrated! I love gardening, and enjoyed beautifying this area, since anyone that drives by it makes it look so much nicer. Our trustee is going to put up a sign ... in hopes that it helps.

    But, today I did spend a good portion of the day working in our yard - and am so sore tonite!

    SO JFT, Monday
    1. go to the gym -- skipped this today and yesterday, so need to get back on track here
    2. log all food
    3. plan menus. I did kinda plan menus, and went and got lots of veggies, etc., just need to do more planning for each day
    4. cut up all the veggies I bought so they are ready to snack on
    5. do tiny habits:
    after shower ... take vitamin
    after breakfst ... fill up water bottle
    after dinner ... brush and floss teeth ***** This one I keep forgetting!
    6. work on business tax stuff - I am so far behind with bookkeeping
    7. work on quilt
    8. ask myself if I am really hungry
    9. drink 8+ glasses of water --- april challenge
    10. walk 15 minutes outside -- may challenge
    11. get back on here be accountable

    How disheartening to think someone would go to the effort of stealing plants! What a terrible shame.

    JFT - Monday May 7
    2L of Water
    Stay in Green
    Outside 15 minutes
    Plank Challenge
    5K Walk
    Do 10 Somethings every hour
    Write in Journal

    I realized on the weekend I didn't do my 10 Somethings at all last week. I need to get back into this. The scale and I are still battling. This is so frustrating! I don't know if it's lack of strength training, or if it's lack of weighing my food. I need to figure it out.

    Good Monday to everyone! I am looking forward to a very productive forward-moving week. My weekend was not pretty...I do not do well when I don't prelog. So, back to the focusing on the process...I am aiming to make some progress this week!!

    JFT, 5/7
    Drink 8 cups of water---didn't even manage that this wknd
    Pre-log as much as possible and log any modifications
    Online program
    Exercise

    I was grumbling a bit this morning as I put on my walking clothes...hubs good naturedly said, "Well, be happy you are exercising without having to wear paper underpants!" We had just been talking about his folks in the nursing home and how we could one day be where they are. Well. That squashed any further grumbling!!! I am grateful I have two working legs that allow me to walk my neighborhood and enjoying the sunshine and God's beauty. And I am grateful I can do it without needing to wear paper underwear!!!! (and no doubt people who need them are quite thankful they have them!!)

    Have a marvelous and grateful day!

    Sunday 5/6/18 JFT:

    ✔▪Laundry

    ▪Drink 96 oz of water

    ▪Grocery Inventory & List
    ▪Elliptical - 15 min.

    The last three days have been unusual. I dealt with some minor emotional depression issues. It has set my milk production back bc I wasn't eating well or pumping on schedule. Therefore, my primary focus this week is to get back on track with milk production. I'm going to pack in calories to give it a boost so it'll be an interesting log for the next few days. The baby was up all night last night so today will be interesting, Lol :lol:

    Had a post typed out complaining about my crappy day and I hit done instead of past. Made me really upset. I had a really $hitty morning. But I spent my break outside in the sun. It is gorgeous out. I say outside my favorite cafe and soaked up the rays. I'm feeling much more optimistic I think. I was ready to cry about an hour ago. But I think I'm okay now.

    My manager is off this week and my head teller was insanely stressed about something this morning and was getting kind of snappy with me. I felt particularly stupid this morning. It was like my brain was on autopilot but they autopilot was set on the wrong course. It was terrible. Now my head teller is on break so I'm hoping she comes back not as stressed.

    I just can't wait to be home. I miss my DH so much. I think I'm going to need to spend some time cuddling.
