So I just got back from a nice walk this morning. I can feel all of the muscles in my hamstrings firing off. Lol. I think is one of my favorite feelings! Lol. I've been using the Calm apps "Walking Meditation" feature for the first part of my journey and I think it sets the pace for the whole walk and probably my day. I spend a part of it praying and the rest listening to a book on habits.
I'm about to hop in the shower and prepped for the day.
I forgot the add my three tint habits for the day as well
1. Spend 5 minutes praying(tweaking this one)
2. Drink 1 bottle of water per cup of coffee(keep track!)
3. Brush teeth/Wash face by 8pm
Have a great day everyone!

JFT Friday Recap
1. Be kind
2. Log all food
3. Meds AM and PM
4. Cook chicken thighs and asparagus for dinner
5. Sort laundry for laundromat date this weekend
6. 10 wall push up every bathroom trip
7. Call to make eyebrow appointment for Tuesday Worked out because I was sick anyway, plan to do it next week
8. Smart choices for lunch - Vietnamese fresh bowl?
9. Stop at grocery store for things ON THE LIST - a few extras okay, but smarter choices!
Whoops - took a little weekend break, then ended up getting sick on Sunday night. I'm back at work today. Still not feeling great but I'm upright! I had a slightly indulgent weekend. About 400 over on cals both Sat and Sun but they were healthy food choices. The important part it that I was honest with myself about it, logged it all, and got over it. I didnt eat much of anything on Monday feeling so under the weather. Tuesday I ate like an 8 year old, velveeta and chicken nuggets, but it was right around calorie goal for the day, so c'est la vie. Back at it today for my health!
1. Take it easy
2. Be kind
3. LOTS OF WATER
4. Meds AM and PM
5. Log all food2 -

Yesterday I left work early and managed to get my paintings completed for the paint night Friday night. The hostess chose to do the one with the wine glass, it should be a fun evening.
I went for a 5K walk last night using my new shoes for the first time. I am not in agony today, what a difference! I do have tiny blisters on both heels, but they will heal up quickly.
I ate a lot of salt on the weekend and made some unhealthy choices, my hands are swollen either from that or the heat we are having. Either way, I hope it goes away soon.

@OConnell5483 and @mytime6630 where are youuuu?!
I think OConnell5483 went away for long weekend, and Joan had grandsons & son visiting.2 -
I just heard from Traci(Oconnell5483). She is alive and well! Her stepdaughter is talking her ear off. Lol! She said she would be back soon!3

So work was actually really really good today! I got home about 2 minutes after we were scheduled to leave. Everything was done and ready for 5pm. All I had to do was hit a button and put my drawer away. It was awesome. There was a farmers market about .75 miles away on a huge lawn. I had a snack attack and bought a .5lb bag of salted cashews...I ate almost the whole thing on the walk back. I was sick for most of the afternoon. Lol. LM went on her break as well and bought us caramel brownies from a baker who sets up a stand there. So that was my lunch. Lol. A devishily good caramel brownie and 6oz of cashews...Lol. But it is all logged to the best of my ability! I've had 15 glasses of water already today so I am hoping that the water washes out all the salt I ingested today. Mom and Dad are also taking me out for ice cream in about a half an hour. We are celebrating my graduation even though I am not walking for it. I did not order a cap and gown in time to qualify to walk. But oh well. I wouldnt be getting the diploma tomorrow anyway. I dont think they are available until June.
I have the whole evening to myself tonight though. Matt works late and probably wont be home until close to 1030. I'm not sure what I am going to do. I want to try and finish the book I am listening to and I will probably work on next months budget and such. I may even take a nap in the evening. Depends on exactly how exhausted I am. Lol. I took the day off from work tomorrow because I thought I would be spending the evening graduating and I didnt want to have to rush from work. But even though I am not walking I decided to keep the day off. The DH also took the day off and got a vacation day out of it so he is getting paid for it(I am not.) I have a couple of things I have to do tomorrow though. But I think the best part about the next 5 days is that I only work on Friday. The bank is closed on Monday so I pretty much get a 4 day weekend. Lol I'm pretty darned excited about that! Lol.
Anyway!!
I hope everyone is having a great night! I'll "see" you all later!1 -
Goals for weds!
- 8 glasses of water
- Be in the green
- May Challenge
- Get house tidy
- Do the laundry!
Soooo not the best day!
The weather is reaaaaaally nice here, supposed to be hotter than Hawaii these next few days!
We didn’t have any food in and when my OH does the shopping he always comes back with lots of nice treats! And because there was no food in he bought us all pizza for lunch and stuff so that’s that out the window!
But we had a nice day, I got the house pretty tidy, it’s a bit messy again now but just taking a break from cleaning for 5 mins. I sat in the sun from about 12-4. I’m actually starting to tan! We got the paddling pool out for the girls and generally had a good day! Casey had immunisations today so has slept for most the day only waking for feeds.
So although not the best day eating wise I’ve had a good day
And I’ve come back, held myself accountable and confessed my sins to you all
Have a nice night everyone!
Posting goals in the morning!

weigh in Wednesday
Starting weight 1/1/2018: 177
Today's weight: 157, down 1 pound from last week
I didn't get my JFT in today. Tomorrow I return to TX...to a week of, "Mom, can you make us pizza? Mom the cookie jar is empty! Mom, can you make French toast for breakfast?" And of course I say YES! It's good to be needed, lolol!!! Now to do all that without gaining!! I did it for five weeks...why am I thinking one week will be more difficult???
Peace and joy1 -
Holy cow! I'm 137 posts behind! I don't think I'll get a chance to read them tonight but just know I have missed all of you! I'll try to catch up this weekend on what everyone is up to.
So glad to be back on here. I miss the routine of MFP, and JFT especially!
I had a great time in Chicago. Life has been a whirlwind lately. I gained 2 lbs while away so that was not cool, but it could have been so much worse! So, I'm not beating myself up too badly.
My DH and I are leaving Friday to go visit my mom. She lives about 6 or 7 hours away. I only get there about once a year, and since changing jobs and having limited days off work, we figured we could at least get there for this long weekend. It'll be nice to get some alone time with my DH. We got a room at a motel. I'm hoping there is a pool and hot tub! (Pretty sure there is, but whether we will have time or not is the real question!)
Just for Thursday:
1. Stay in the GREEN
2. 80 oz of water
3. Sit less--stand up every 30 minutes
4. Take two 15-minute walks at work
5. Start morning with inspirational reading and quiet time
6. Work on self-confidence. Practice positive self-talk and patience
7. One random act of kindness
8. FitBit goals: 6000 steps, 250 steps 12/12 hours, 30 minutes activity
9. Bed early to rest for trip. I'm still exhausted from last weekend!
xoxoxo

Battling a bit of insomnia here and have been up since 2am! Don’t know where the last two hours have gone really but I’ve done a bit of (quiet!) housework while the kids are sleeping and will start my workout in an hour or so. Made lebkuchen last night for my class as we have this sweet little geography topic where a travelling bear “takes” the children to different countries to teach them about the culture, food, weather etc. We also have a celebration lunch for my friend and colleague who is getting married this weekend. Lots of temptation around but I’m focussed as have a fitted dress to get into for the wedding

Congrats on all your success so far! I love stats - it's really interesting to see muscle, water and bone all separated out that way!
I also got rid of my social media profiles about 2 months ago now. I was just discussing last night how it has pretty much eliminated the subconscious practice of comparing my life against others because "Comparison is the thief of joy!" -Theodore Roosevelt. Cheers to being more positive and healthier!5 -

One of my daughter's friends is doing a social media "diet" for the same reason. I truly like the idea of it, but unfortunately it's how we have found out twice that my MIL is having serious health concerns. I don't trust my FIL or SIL to call us.

Recap W 5/23
1) Walked dog before work on absolutely gorgeous morning / 3.12 mi 54:22 pace 17:25 / remembered to stretch = happy dog + happy me Fitbit 17,416 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 40 floors
2) Washed 2 loads laundry before work / hung one load on clothesline before work / hang 2nd load at lunch had to rush thru lunch ~ thankful hubby helped me out
4) Breakfast, snacks & lunch as usual / supper??? / net calories green / no evening snacking = Er, no. Net calories -243 , sodium green (yay), sugar -6 (mango overnight oats & banana & animal crackers), fiber & protein good (yay) & 14c water. Had evening snack attack (mixed nuts) but I am ok with daily w/i.
5) Evening: take down & fold/hang/put away laundry everything put away except hubby's stuff + shirts on office chair / check shed for grass clippers couldn't find clippers but cleaned more out of shed, including several old mouse nests (ICK!) and got out more yard stuff / wash dishes tired after laundry + shed / unbox frames and insert photos of hubby & me / at least 1 to-do felt like I needed a break
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 10:30 (Th a.m. dog walk before work)
JFT Th 5/24 ~ last workday of week for my office ~ yippee!
1) Another absolutely gorgeous a.m. ~ more like summer than spring. Walked dog before work 3.35 mi 59:42 pace 17:49 and saw two sandhill cranes feeding & one mallard. Getting in habit of waking + getting up after 1st snooze alarm = less stress to get to work on time. I'm sure earlier sunrise has something to do with this. Happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) Net calories green / monitor usual
4) Evening to-do's so stuff is done before weekend
5) UNPLUG 9:00 ~ just bc long weekend is starting, don't get my system out of whack / floss (ditto) / retainers (ditto again) / bed & TV off 11:00 ~ this I'll allow since I won't have 5:30 a.m. alarm
@OConnell5483 Welcome back, you were missed! 2# over a long, friend-filled weekend out of town sounds about right to me. You are right to not stress about it & be grateful for the fun times with people you care about.
Have safe travels this weekend (MN?).1 -

I am eating poorly again, my weight is fluctuating around 191.2 to 191.8 all week. I am eating too much junk even though I'm staying within my calorie goals. I need to get this under control. I was so excited last week when I was down to 190.2.
Last night it was still 30 degrees at 8pm so I decided to go swimming instead of walking. I am struggling so much with the breathing. Last night I tried, just doing the arm motions and practicing lifting my head to breathe while walking and I still couldn't seem to get it. One of the lifeguards told me that was her hardest thing to learn too, she said people say it's the kicking but that's not what she found at all.
On a positive note, I just have to share this story. My son in law's car is broken down right now so for my daughter and grand kids to come out last night I needed to pick them up. This is rare that I do this. When I arrive at their house yesterday after work the grands were outside waiting for me. Jonah was playing on the grass and Michaela, who just got in trouble last week for leaving the house while her Dad was in the bathroom, was standing on the steps. I could see my daughter just gathering her stuff inside the screen.
Michaela saw me pull in, she started just saying "Mimi" over and over. She put her little hands up over her mouth and said "Oh, Mimi" while her little legs were just dancing. You could visibly see the excitement and the battle she was fighting about coming down the steps by herself. Jonah came over to give me a hug and kiss, and she got even more excited. I told him to go help her down the stairs so she could come see me too. She held her hand out just like a princess so he could take it. As soon as she hit the ground she came running to me. "Oh Mimi" and the tightest little hug. My heart just about burst last night, I teared up, to have that much love shown to you is just the most incredible feeling. I have to always remember that feeling, and I need to stay healthy so she has her Mimi for a very long time to come.
