    Recap M 9/24
    1) Walked dog before work 3.61 mi 1:01:53 & stretched = happy dog :smiley: & happy me :smiley:
    2) Talk w/ manager about my possible ineligibility for wage increase ~ be humble & respectful & polite = Early afternoon finally got chance to discuss w/ boss lady ~ she had no idea of rules change :o (yet I knew change was pending), and impact that her past decision would have. :o She seemed genuine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. She will look into & get back to me. I thanked her ~ it's all I could ask for at this point, and I did what I could by bringing up topic. At least the knot inside me is not so bad. @snowflake1968 thanks for your support! Hopefully manager will be able to correct situation. And I keep reminding myself, hubby and I are good financially, this will not make or break us. Looking at a note by my desk, "You can be right, or you can be happy." I choose happy. :D

    6) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / FLOSS :smiley: / retainers :smiley: / verify alarm, in bed & TV off 10:20 :# 10:45 (walk dog before work weather-permitting)

    JFT T 9/25 ~ weather was fine, I just needed more sleep so rest day = sad dog
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I no longer weigh myself daily but I peek occasionally. Saturday a.m. weigh-in is my MFP logging day. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ as long as my trend is downward, I get there when I get there!

    Age 60, 5'4.5"
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 140 - 145 [anything less will be unsustainable]

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:

    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week
    11/25 = 163.0 no surprise after 2 no-logging-food days (parade day and Thanksgiving), just glad not worse
    12/02 = 161.0 Jingle Bell 5K day / 44:37 chip time & ave. pace 14:22 & very happy!

    01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing
    02/03 = sick / no weigh in
    02/10 = 152.5 unhealthy loss due to illness / I know weight will go back up & I'm totally fine with that

    02/24 = 154.0 little out of control last week, but at goal for the month
    03/03 = 155.5 oops / still lower than before I was sick

    05/12 = 153.5 ok with this ~ think changing my MFP setting, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me ~ I'm not so hungry all the time

    Well, it's Tuesday and my husband is sick as a dog, throat is so sore he cannot swallow at all and ear pain is so bad he is lying on his side with a heating pad. Dr said it is viral so has to run its course. I don't have a sore throat or sore ear yet, but I'm feeling kind of punky as far as fuzzy head, runny nose, sneezing and just plain crabby.

    I see clouds moving in and I know it is supposed to storm this afternoon, so I'm trying to decide if I should try to get my walk in quickly right now or wait until later. I know I have only walked one block so far since hip procedure but I kind of wanted to go check out a few gyms today. Maybe tomorrow...I don't want to leave my honey. He rarely gets sick so I know he must really feel lousy. :cry:

    I haven't been able to catch up on what's happening with everyone yet, but know I'm praying for you all...good and bad. I love this group and I seriously miss you all so much when I'm not on for awhile! :heart:

    I'll check back in later.

    So I looked at a TDEE calculator today and put in my stats. I marked myself as sedentary as I sit most of the day at work. I try to get some exercise each day, but don't always succeed. According to that I need 1219 calories a day. I am trying to get away with 1050 Net each day. Maybe I need to try upping mine for a little bit. Although today I had a loss. My BMI finally shows only overweight instead of obese! This is such a game of numbers I'm never sure what to do.

    I have read that under 1200 and your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto weight. I forgot to factor in exercise calories and first and realized I was often closer to 1000 daily calories, which left me feeling weak and hungry all the time. I actually had better weight loss when I kept it to 1200.
    Congrats on the BMI win!!

    JFT (9-25-18):
    - LAUNDRY
    - stay in the green
    - work out a little (not just walking)
    - actually eat some of the snacking peppers I bought
    - get ahead on homework?
    - pick up my pen & drawing tablet

    Did everything but the peppers and staying green. Was running around so much today (I'm calling an unplanned power-walk my exercise) that I hardly had time for snacks at all. Till I made a Starbucks run for the busy bf. I caved....

    JFT (9-26-18):
    - drink 64oz water
    - meditate
    - pepper snack for real
    - no major sweet things to make up for my brownie/frappuccino splurge

    Fell off the wagon a bit yesterday. I had some reasonably good news and decided that I was going to ignore my food plan and no weekday alcohol policy in order to celebrate it.

    I need to not do this again! I will never reach my goal weight if I do.

    Things to do to celebrate other than eat/drink:
    - Put on a celebratory song and dance around
    - Take some pictures to mark the event (even if it's not a big event)
    - Buy a Big Issue to spread the good fortune
    - Call someone to tell them about it
    - Write what I'm happy about in gratitude journal
    - Paint my nails bright/sparkly colours
    - Blow up balloons....?

    I'm going to take a screenshot of this list and save it to refer to in future!

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Stick to food plan :/
    - Eat slowly and mindfully :/
    - 3 bottles water :/
    - No alcohol :/
    - 5+ fruit/veg :smile:

    - 30+ minute lunch break :smile:
    - Meditate :smiley:
    - Duolingo & French book :smile:
    - Leave work at 6.30pm :smile:
    - Watch Bake Off! :smile:
    - Gratitude journal :smile:
    - Lights out by 11 :smile:

    Today will not be a celebratory day. It's the 5-year anniversary of my dad's death today. Feeling ok so far but it's only 8am :smile: I'm at training today which hopefully will keep me occupied. This evening me and the boyfriend will be treating ourselves to fish & chips to mark the occasion. My dad liked those a lot and it's become a bit of a ritual. I will try not to eat too much outside that treat though.

    Today's commitments:

    - Stick to food plan (which includes SMALL fish & chips!)
    - Eat slowly and mindfully
    - 3 bottles water
    - No alcohol - I need to deal with emotions today, not drown them

    - Use breaks to do direct report's review
    - Duolingo & French book
    - Check out whether evening church is possible
    - Gratitude journal
    - Lights out by 11

    Remember life is still for living!
    If you have something to celebrate, or commemorate, then you should do so!
    Although alcohol probably won't help today you're right!
    Maybe write a lovely memory in your gratitude journal today for your dad
    I hope the day goes peacefully for you!

    Much love and hugs! X

    The scale is back up this morning, too much sodium yesterday my fingers are swollen and my rings are tight where they were loose yesterday. I'll try to get more water in today.
    I used my new sander last night and managed to get about 40 wood slices sanded. Only have about 100 or more left to do. LOL I also got a walk in, I had a very strict schedule last night and it worked for me. I need to do that more often I think.

    Recap T 9/25 ~ weather was fine, I just needed more sleep so rest day = sad dog
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 9,049 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 36 floors :smiley:
    2) Prelog planned meals & usual snacks / net calories w/i 100 green / 12c water = Busy evening chore-wise so ate some walnuts for late-ish unplanned snack ~ usually, when I'm busy & feel like this, it's because my body needs something. Net calories -224 :# , sodium green (yay! :smiley: ), sugar -14, fiber & protein excellent & 14c water :smiley: . Scale this a.m. (couldn't resist) was good! :D
    3) Locate last weekly w-i post & update = :smiley:
    4) Submit leave request for Friday = :smiley: Hubby is off rest of this week, so I thought I'd take a personal day with him. <3:smiley:
    5) Evening: mail payments :D went thru uncovered drop-box drive-thru just as rain started to pour :o / wash towels :smiley: remember to start first thing once home next time as towels take longer / put away clean clothes :smiley: forced myself / boil eggs :smiley: snacks ready / brew tea :smiley: iced tea jug full / put away clean dishes :smiley: / update budget :( out of time / read Sunday ads :( too tired
    6) Unplug 9:00 :smiley: / floss :s / retainers :s / verify alarm, in bed & TV off after late weather forecast :neutral: (walk dog W before work)

    Got some very good news yesterday: Thanks to more inaccurate (should I say, misleading) employer communication (this time by HR dept.), both my manager and I had misunderstanding about eligibility rules for wage increase. Once HR explained to boss lady, which she then explained to me, in the end, I will get the wage increase. We were both relieved! Yay! :D

    JFT W 9/26
    1) Walked dog before work / 3.57 mi 1:04:47 / stretched + washed some dishes = happy dog :smiley: & happy me :smiley: Because so dark when we leave house now, dog wears her blaze orange vest + LED collar, and I'm wearing reflective hat, LED vest, and headlamp ~ we're definitely visible! :D
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    3) Usual breakfast, lunch & snacks prelogged / happy hour w/ former colleagues & there will be adult beverages ~ have previewed menu online & prelogged choices ~ not great choices since it's a pub, and meal plus beer will be almost one day's calories for me! But I won't fret about it & will enjoy time with my friends from another job.
    4) Enjoy hubby time when I get home ~ so rare for him to be home on weeknights!
    5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS really this is so ridiculous / RETAINERS ditto / verify alarm, in bed & TV off 10:30
