Recap W 4/11
1) Skipped treadmill before work ~ I'm so sick of treadmill walking
/ walk dog after work = Walked dog after work 3.77 mi 1:02:40 / happy dog & happy me 
(missed neighborhood assoc. meeting)
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 15,319 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 42 floors
3) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories green / more water than T / monitor usual = Net calories / sodium / sugar red, protein good, fiber ok & 13c water
4) Remember projector & check-in box for Th seminar = Took stuff w/ me & returned to office F
5) At least 2 to-do's in evening = After dog walk, refilled birdfeeders, scrubbed & refilled heated birdbath, brushed dog out (LOTS of fur outside & not in house) ~ happy with that
6) FLOSS / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (reset alarm)
Th 4/12 ~ busy & sedentary day... 8 hour seminar, and I arrived 30 min. early to handle check-in table & give projector to speaker, plus total drive time to/fro 1:20. No time for treadmill before & choir in evening, so lots of sitting all day. No idea of refreshments & lunch provided... maybe will take some of my own snacks. On bright side, this month I will have completed 3/4 of my annual CPE requirement.
Recap Th ~ even nuttier start to day b/c hubby had to report to courthouse at 8:30 a.m. for jury pool & he got selected! After working his shift until W midnight, then doing his civic duty on jury, he returned home mid-afternoon & still reported to work! Anyway, my recap: Skipped seminar's morning mini muffins and donut holes / ate power muffin I brought with me. Lunch was build your own sandwich, kettle chips & cookies. I ate a little of everything, had 1 cookie, then picked up southwest salad at McDs for supper on way home & logged my best guess: net calories / sodium / sugar red, fiber ok, protein good & 12c water. Fitbit 7,846 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 8 floors.
JFT F the 13th!
1) Treadmill before work / 3 mi 49:47 / stretched
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) Leftovers for lunch / supper planned / net calories green / monitor usual
4) Deposit seminar checks at bank after work / evening 1-2 to-do's
Winter storm watch has begun ~ raining now, will change to ice & snow & windy Saturday, through Sunday evening or Monday morning.
ACK!!! Wish Mother Nature would look at the calendar ~ I really want to walk dog instead of treadmill. 
I really want to ask, it’s funny but I feel silly asking..
Do you put the dog on the treadmill too?

hahaha ~ No, dog absolutely hates treadmill (in our basement) and runs upstairs any time I'm on it! But wouldn't that be great for both of us?

Hahah would be funny, could imagine you tying a treat to a piece of string at the front of it to make him run
I really need to start waking my dog again, he runs in the garden every day, I take him out to play ball but I haaaate going out in the cold for walks. But now it’s warming up I should really get I’m out again!
Might even go tonight actually! Emphasis on the “might” 3 -
Good morning! Happy Friday JFTers! Once again, I don't see goals for yesterday. I don't know what has gotten into me lately but I sure am a slacker. Need a good kick in the butt, is what I need!
Just for Friday:
1. Journal every single bite, good or bad.
2. HYDRATE - at least 8 oz of water today by 7pm
3. Declutter my desk and file drawers at work today.
4. Get up every hour and move
5. Sew more on little Casey's quilt after work
6. Tiny Habits: After pouring coffee, I will read 5 verses of scripture. After reading scripture, I will have my morning chat with God. After dinner, I will take out 1 cup of frozen berries to thaw. (Trying to replace ice cream with berries and cottage cheese for evening snack.) After brushing my teeth, I will wash and moisturize my face.
7. Get 30 minutes of activity. Doesn't matter what. Just DO SOMETHING!
8. Evening ritual: Read Simple Abundance, New Day New You, and enter 5 things in my Today, I'm Grateful for... journal.
9. Get on here tomorrow morning first thing with my coffee. Be Accountable!!!
Have a fantastic Friday everyone!
Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.2 -

@cschmitz110515 I am SO annoyed about this winter storm coming our way! It is so gray, dreary and dismal outside that I just want to go home from work and curl up in a blanket with a book. I haven't heard the latest update but yesterday I heard we could get anywhere from 12 to 18 inches of snow! I will have to swear at Mother Nature if that happens.

@bcTRAI so talented!
I am a bit behind with posting - can’t actually remember where I left things as it’s all been a bit of a blur with the new kitty (Monty). Managed to continue with morning workouts which is good considering we’ve been a bit housebound!
Friday recap:
- exercise early ✅
- Stay within calorie goal ✅
- 3ltr + water (made such a difference today!) ✅
- Girls’ friends over 10-1 ✅
- Vet appt 10.40 ✅
- Call alarm company
ugh just can’t be bothered dealing with them. They are all old men and a bit patronising whenever I need to speak to them. Must try again Monday
- Get kids packed for weekend with their dad ✅
- Early night ✅
Saturday goals:
- morning workout ✅ already done
- 10K+ steps if poss (around the house??)
- 3 ltr+ water
- Finish laundry
- Get girls uniform ready for school next week, clean school shoes etc
- Some rest, maybe a nap as Monty woke me at 2:44!
Have a great weekend all! X4 -
