Just for today 9/13, if this is still active:
I’m going to track everything, especially late night nibbles.
I’ve been away from MFP for a long time, and most of my friends are now inactive, so I’m looking for active members for mutual support. Please join me!
Welcome back @blueimp! I think you'll find a pretty great and supportive group here!4 -
So yesterday wasn’t too bad. Didn’t get much done. At least not as much as I wanted to but that’s okay. I’m going to get the rest of the stuff done today! I am determined! I really have to make those phone calls to the doctors’ offices. Panda was actually well behaved last night but I took the quilt down as a preemptive step to him being a jerk again. We are going to hang it up on a blank wall across the room. Definitely not over our heads! Lol.
I have a feeling today is going to be another super long day. It’s only been an hour! I feel like it’s been at least 3. LM is at a meeting this morning and then going out to lunch so we will be by ourselves until this afternoon…yay…not really. Only 13 minutes have passed…what the heck!
Well on a bright note I paid off two debts and made a payment on another! This is very exciting because they have been hanging over our heads for the longest time. Lol.
I really don’t have much else to write about…so onto goals I guess.

1. Log all food for the day
2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
3. Walk at Home video; try to push past 10 min
4. Call insurance re coverage
5. Book eye appointment
6. Visit Senior Services 3 center & join best fit
It's been 25 days since I rejoined. I've lost 14.8 lbs in that time so am pleased with efforts thus far. Still struggling to get in any exercise. Doing much better on water consumption ... maybe getting a bit more exercise running to the bathroom so frequently. LOL
There are 3 different Senior Services organizations nearby that have scheduled fitness programs, fitness & weight rooms, aquasize & swimming, etc. I plan to visit each of them, tour the facilities, find out about programs, and join at least one. I can't seem to increase my exercise at home so hope going to a structured class will help me make that change.
Hope Y'all have a successful day!

Recap W 9/12 ~ Unplanned rest day ~ forgot to turn on alarm! Currently using phone, I really need to get a new bedside clock. I enjoyed the extra sleep, very glad I didn't oversleep, and arrived at work on time.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 11,371 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 33 floors... forgot about webinar & no place to pace in new office location w/ new office-mate, plus work issues. Considering it was rest day, step count pretty good! Helps that I had to park a few blocks from farmers market, then walked entire length & width of market, followed by grocery shopping, unloading car and putting all purchases away, including storage in basement. I missed having hubby help (he was at work), but I left a few things for him to carry downstairs.
2) Usual breakfast, lunch & snacks prelogged / supper unsure ~ maybe eat at farmers market? / net calories w/i 100 green / 12c water = ACK!
Due to work issues in afternoon, forgot to eat my apple as snack, so I was hungry when I arrived at the farmers market. More food trucks than I expected (haven't gone to this market in several years), so decided to try something I usually don't have opportunity to eat: falafel sandwich. Not sure how to log so I just picked something close in MFP database. Still hungry when I finally got home & everything put away around 8 p.m. so had small bowl of leftover veggie soup & bowl of fresh raspberries, plus my free Great Harvest cookie. Logged it all, net calories already RED, then for some insane reason, I snacked on Pringles and chocolate chips straight from the bag ~ yikes!!! 
The only good thing about my food diary was 14c water. 
3) Work: complete all 3 stages of work project / start summarization by Th = Yes! Ready for summarization once printer issues cleared up.
4) Evening: Wed farmers market really enjoyed this market, lots of great produce including my heirloom tomato guy & not so crowded now that it's Sept. / grocery shop started later & took longer than I wanted but done / sort laundry & put up clothesline for Th 
too late + too tired / balance checkbooks ditto laundry / 15 min. declutter / at least 1 more to-do morning goals way more ambitious than I felt by evening 
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / ALARM ON IN BED & TV OFF 10:15 
(this is getting ridiculous ~ walk dog before work Th)
JFT R 9/13
1) Yay! Walked dog before work 3.35 mi 58:10 / stretched = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories green (have wiggle room thanks to dog walk) / 12c water
4) Work: complete first draft of report & update audit program
5) Evening: choir 6:30 / sort laundry & put up clothesline for F a.m. / wash dishes / bake banana bars / 15 min. declutter / 1 more to-do?
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / ALARM ON, IN BED & TV OFF 10:15 (walk dog before work F)
@PackerFanInGB Thank you!2 -
Wow - life got a way from me for a couple days there.
I stepped on the scale this morning - 171.6 (up 1.4lbs)
It sucks, but I'm not surprised. Running once a week is not enough exercise! Add in the illness that prevented me from walking with teacher friends after school; compare that to the overeating I did; and really I should be glad it's only 1.4 lbs!
Anyway - today is a new day and time to get back to it!
JFT - Wednesday- Log everything I eat (I've been debating this. I logged faithfully for almost 2 years & got burnt out, but I think I need to suck it up and do it)
- 10 minute legs - ALREADY DONE - whooop whooop!
- Abs
Maybe I'll give up tracking again tomorrow. I'm making the commitment to log JUST FOR TODAY.
This is my third time losing over 20 pounds by tracking what I eat. I have decided this time I just can't stop tracking even the bad days. Tracking and Weighing keep me accountable and aware of what I'm doing at least.3 -
Lifestyle0 wrote: »JFT
1. Burn off calories that are over my deficit goal
2. Decent amount of sleep
3. Water
4. Stop freaking out over small weight gains
I found the daily weighing would get me down with all of the fluctuations. I now look at the average over 7 days. It has shown me that since May I have consistently lost every 7 days except for twice. It made me ease up on myself a bit when the scale went up.2 -
slittlemeister wrote: »Well, yesterday was a bust. I ended up falling off the wagon both food wise and alcohol wise. I'm kind of annoyed with myself about the alcohol, I really did want to make it till the end of September without doing weekday drinking. It was a combination of different things - it was a stressful day, but I also think I was in a half celebratory mood in that it was 'nearly my Friday' as I'm not working on Friday and am having a weekend away - so I think it was a 'nearly made it through the week' celebration. Celebratory mood is much more dangerous for me than negative moods in terms of wanting to eat/drink.
Anyway, will NOT do it again! Need to find more productive ways to celebrate...
I have actually decided to buy a DIY foot spa (i.e. plastic bowl that I can put hot water and nice smelling bubbles/ oil in). I don't always have time for a relaxing bath to calm/ de stress me but I reckon I can squeeze in a quick mini foot spa in front of a comedy
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Eat slowly and mindfully
- Be in the green
- 4 bottles water
- No alcohol
- 5+ fruit/veg
- Run to work
- 45 minute lunch break 30 mins only
- Meditate
- Duolingo & French book
- Finish work by 6.30 LATEST
- Pack for weekend
- Do the washing up!
- Lights out by 11
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Eat slowly and mindfully
- 3 bottles water
- Meditate
- Duolingo
- Do not take laptop away from work!!!
You are doing awesome if this is the first time you've done weeknight drinking since September 1st. Almost half way there. I bought my daughter one of those foot soaking tubs with the jets. She loves it! She says she does it almost nightly to help her relax.3 -
Just for today... No late night snacking. I've been struggling with it this month (like a bit of ice cream or spoonful of PB before bed) and it's been throwing me off. I've been off track since the last week of August and it's stressing me out a bit that it's been nearly a month.4

I've been missing getting on here .. spending too much time working in the yard, trying to clean up my sewing room, trying to finish up 2 quilts!! So less time on the computer. Which is good and bad ... meaning I'm not logging my food and keeping accountable here! But SO many posts ... and new people!! What a great group!
My weight was down 2# this morning, so I am hoping to keep that going. (I think the yard work is making me not think so much about food LOL)
So goals today will be simple again:
JFT, Thurs
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water. I've been putting lemon in my water ... and it is helping me to get in more water!
3. 5+ veggies - sept challenge
4. work in the yard --- I have 50 surprise lily flower bulbs to plant!!
5. start with cleaning house! Girlfriends coming in 2 weeks!!
6. make pumpkin bread and zucchini bread and freeze

We were going to take Jonah to a movie tonight to celebrate our birthdays, but when I went to check the time I realized the movie isn't in theatres until next week. So since we weren't going to see him today we gave him his present last night and had a special dessert for him.
This was our birthday picture the night he was born in 2011 and then last night.
Of course, Michaela couldn't allow Jonah and I to have a selfie without her, so she joined us.

@HEGoddard0928 I paid off a card this week and wanted to do a happy dance, except I'm still not fully weight-bearing yet! What a great feeling Hannah!
@MLS1582 Can I ask if you used the Dave RAmsey method? I'm reading his book and it feels so overwhelming right now!3 -
NSV for me!!!
my best friend Courtney is in the classroom right next to me and was going to a local taco place that is my FAVORITE because she needed to get out of the building. i didn't go! I brought my on plan lunch and stayed and ate it. It helps that it was shepherd's pie from the Always hungry book, one of my favorite meals. I'm pretty dang proud of myself.
You SHOULD be proud of yourself! That's awesome! Congratulations on your NSV! I don't know that I could say no to tacos!Guys, today I got up early and went jogging! Who am I?! The eternal night owl, the chronic couch potato. I didn't quite believe it. I've been able to get up at my 6 am alarm, no snooze, the last two days. I even made a simple breakfast burrito recipe this morning with the extra time (late start today). Busy day again, but hoping my week will calm down as I go.
Hey you! You jogged!!! You went jogging! You JOG!!!! That's who you are! You are @jeschepp the Jogger!!! This is so awesome. I love this. xoxo P.S. Thanks for sharing the chicken fajita recipe! Looks delicious! I "pinned" it! LOL
@maryrobinson40 I think many of us can relate on some level in our lives of feeling we don't belong, or we aren't good enough. I know I can. Like our friends on here said...you ARE enough! You are loved. You are worthy. You are uniquely you and nobody can do YOU like you can. xoxo P.S. Be safe in the storm! We will be praying for you.
@MLS1582 I love your story about your lawn that now has "character"! LOL! Be safe! xoxo
@Bex953172 How are you feeling? Is your back feeling any better? I worry about you! xxoo3 -
@Snowflake1968 - Holy smokes! It's still in the low 90s here when I leave school!2

Hi everyone.
So when I thought I pulled my back, it was actually start of a kidney infection. So me thinking it was just my back strain I didn't ring the Dr for 2/3? days.
Anyway
On Tuesday I turned for the worst, I was white as a sheet, my back hurt so much, I was violently shivering with chills but I felt hot to touch. I had a head ache which would not go, and I still have it now. I had no appetite which didn't help because then being hungry made me dizzy and quite literally dilerious, I had no idea what was going on.
I dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen and plenty of fluids that night and got an early night (in bed at 10 but couldn't sleep till 12 so not really early but I was resting atleast) only till 3am where my headache woke me again. My partner got me a fresh drink, and just sugary foods, anything to get some quick energy in.
Up at 6, still got a headache, school run, came home back in bed, couldn't cope when I woke up again so my partner told me to get an appointment and basically got told I have a kidney infection.
Started antibiotics yesterday, was told to rest as much as possible which unfortunately isn't much.
Literally been switching from violent chills to sweating all over.
I ran a hot bath and shivered in it. And then fell asleep in it LOL. That was a bit funny. Must have only been 10 mins.
Anyway still not feeling great, my right kidney is very very painful tonight. Haven't got the heart to tell my partner that I can't get marley to bed at the moment. He's been doing so much for me but I can only ask so much. I can't afford for him to get burnt out.
Tonight was a write off. I managed to cook the perfect dinner, roast beef cooked perfectly, made my own gravy (I've never EVER done this) and it tasted amazing, peas sweetcorn and asparagus and soft buttery mash potatoes. Any meal I make there's always something not quite right but this was cooking perfection.
Yet all the faffing around getting the kids in their seats and drinks and the whole "I don't want that fork I want the blue one" I sat down with my dinner, took a bite, stone cold. Instant temper. Threw my plate down in the kitchen and went upstairs. Partner found me shortly after (he stayed out the way for me to calm down first) and said don't worry we can reheat it.
Go downstairs. The dog has ate all my beef. Not the potato, not the veg just the meat.
My partner just laughed then, said he's never known someone so unlucky and the dog was just wagging his tail.
Anyway just posting to say I'm still alive.
I've been skimming through posts but I'm not really in any state to remember what everyone's been saying.
Although @maryrobinson40 I hope your safe! We get storm news in the UK, when it's a big one anyway, so I've heard it's a category 2 is that correct?
I do hope you're okay x I'm not really sure when its intended to hit.
Thanks @PackerFanInGB, I'd just come on to update and saw you mentioned me x
Everyone else I wish you all the best, Ill come on every day but just to read. I do not want trawl through 100+ posts lol!
Eugh sorry that was pretty long lol.

Well, I've been walking for the most part without crutches this week, but my leg is really, really sore today, so I'm thinking I weaned off a bit quicker than I was supposed to, so today I'm paying for it by icing the swollen incision areas and using a heating pad on my back. I'm SO BORED! I wish I could at least go down into the basement and sew on Bex's quilt for Casey but stairs are still out of the question. Last night I found some old knitting needles and yarn I picked up one day at St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop and reminded myself how to night a long thin rectangle. LOL! I'm guessing it will be...drumroll please.............a scarf!
This weekend is opening hunting season and my husband will be going with his two sons and one of the grandsons on Saturday and Sunday, so I'm going to ask him to bring my sewing machine and some of my supplies upstairs to the dining room table so I have something to do and don't get tempted to try the stairs on my own. I've been known to do things like that and they don't usually end well...
I am feeling extremely bloated and am feeling really uncomfortable in my clothes since I've been off. I eat and I get absolutely no activity at all. The more bored I get (when my DH is not home) the more crap I shove in my mouth. Not good. So, here I go again. Water has been a real issue...haven't been drinking NEARLY enough water so I'm going to take @mytime6630's tip and add some lemon juice or some other sweeteners with Stevia that I have on hand. My fingers puff up like sausages when I don't drink enough water.
I hope any of you in the path of Hurricane Florence is either out of harm's way or hunkered down where you will be safe and have what you need. My prayers are with you.
Just for Thursday 9/13/2018- Journal EVERY bite - even those "tastes" add up!
- Water - at least half my weight in ounces
- Continue working on HSMC Getting Started course
- 15 minutes digital declutter
- Take this time to work out a new morning and evening routine for easier transition back to work
- Do physical therapy exercises x2
- Gratitude journal / unplug one hour before bed / read
- 5 fruits and veggies

@Snowflake1968 - happy birthday!!! And 50?!! You no way look that old in any of the pics you have posted on here. Enjoy your day. I’m going to ignore the snow thing because I’m still in denial about the end of summer
Sending lots of well wishes to @Bex953172 and thinking of those in the path of the storm.
I went for my DEXA scan and seems like I’m maintaining pretty well. Was weighed at around 2lbs up from when I was last there (which was in the morning compared to the evening so not sure if it’s even significant) but they said I have gained 1.5lbs of muscle and .5lbs fat. Body fat percentage of around 16% which makes all the hard work and vigilance on here worth it. Can’t quite believe I’m here at nearly 40. Hope I can keep it up, with all your help.
BUT I had to fast for the hours leading up to it and was so hungry when I got home I can’t even remember what I ate to log it!! Writing off today and starting afresh tomorrow.

I dont know. It's almost the weekend - but I'm having a hard time balancing my work and relaxing at home now that theres ALWAYS something that can be done I feel kind of guilty when I put my feet up. I guess the recurring theme here is I need to find my balance again.

Thank you! It looks beautiful! I love the snow, and after the non-stop heat/humidity this summer, it definitely appealing.0 -
Hi everyone.
So when I thought I pulled my back, it was actually start of a kidney infection. So me thinking it was just my back strain I didn't ring the Dr for 2/3? days.
Anyway
On Tuesday I turned for the worst, I was white as a sheet, my back hurt so much, I was violently shivering with chills but I felt hot to touch. I had a head ache which would not go, and I still have it now. I had no appetite which didn't help because then being hungry made me dizzy and quite literally dilerious, I had no idea what was going on.
I dosed up on paracetamol and ibuprofen and plenty of fluids that night and got an early night (in bed at 10 but couldn't sleep till 12 so not really early but I was resting atleast) only till 3am where my headache woke me again. My partner got me a fresh drink, and just sugary foods, anything to get some quick energy in.
Up at 6, still got a headache, school run, came home back in bed, couldn't cope when I woke up again so my partner told me to get an appointment and basically got told I have a kidney infection.
Started antibiotics yesterday, was told to rest as much as possible which unfortunately isn't much.
Literally been switching from violent chills to sweating all over.
I ran a hot bath and shivered in it. And then fell asleep in it LOL. That was a bit funny. Must have only been 10 mins.
Anyway still not feeling great, my right kidney is very very painful tonight. Haven't got the heart to tell my partner that I can't get marley to bed at the moment. He's been doing so much for me but I can only ask so much. I can't afford for him to get burnt out.
Tonight was a write off. I managed to cook the perfect dinner, roast beef cooked perfectly, made my own gravy (I've never EVER done this) and it tasted amazing, peas sweetcorn and asparagus and soft buttery mash potatoes. Any meal I make there's always something not quite right but this was cooking perfection.
Yet all the faffing around getting the kids in their seats and drinks and the whole "I don't want that fork I want the blue one" I sat down with my dinner, took a bite, stone cold. Instant temper. Threw my plate down in the kitchen and went upstairs. Partner found me shortly after (he stayed out the way for me to calm down first) and said don't worry we can reheat it.
Go downstairs. The dog has ate all my beef. Not the potato, not the veg just the meat.
My partner just laughed then, said he's never known someone so unlucky and the dog was just wagging his tail.
Anyway just posting to say I'm still alive.
I've been skimming through posts but I'm not really in any state to remember what everyone's been saying.
Although @maryrobinson40 I hope your safe! We get storm news in the UK, when it's a big one anyway, so I've heard it's a category 2 is that correct?
I do hope you're okay x I'm not really sure when its intended to hit.
Thanks @PackerFanInGB, I'd just come on to update and saw you mentioned me x
Everyone else I wish you all the best, Ill come on every day but just to read. I do not want trawl through 100+ posts lol!
Eugh sorry that was pretty long lol.
@Bex953172 ..I LOVE YOU SIS... Lol…... You're Soo real! Love that about you..
My mom used to have a saying, "Like It! Or Lump It"!!, She was a strong no nonsense, loving, wise woman... But don't step to her wrong... Man Oh Man... LMBO. I witnessed her pick one of the men of our family off the floor and she was 5'6 and he was like 5'9.. Lol….. That boys eyes got big like a deer in headlights... She had him in one motion against the wall with a little red rocking chair... Boy! She said..disrespect me again... Of course we all knew there would never be an "again"...😂😂 I miss her.. She was my "SHERO".Your dinner sounded like I need a plate FEDEX to my house... Yum! Yum!
As far as the storm goes... Schools are cancelled to make room for Emergency lodging, shelves bare, and the storm isn't here yet, but it's coming... They are talking flooding, and down trees and power lines to be expected for our area, but not until tomorrow should we get anything from the storm.
Sister, WOW ! This post had me crying because of your pain and I wish I was there to help with the children and chores... Then I saluted you for pushing past pain to prepare a meal, then I laughed because I imagined what hyour expression was when you saw what the doggie had done, and the dog licking it's chops like, "What", .. Awww Sis... I truly hope you get well soon.
If I can, I'll check in tomorrow.. Otherwise, know that I love you Sis…
