    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!

    Hi
    Sounds good and I'm with you on number three. Gets me to bed early and sleep is very very important for making and keeping commitments and for self-care.
    Take good care,

    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 food

    JFT - Wednesday May 23
    2L of Water
    Stay in Green
    Outside 15 Minutes
    Write in Journal

    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.

    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!

    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 :sweat_smile:

    Have a nice night everyone!
    Posting goals in the morning!

    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???

    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.
