Happy New Year Everyone
I also followed the 2017 JFT and did well. Before I learned about being pregnant, I lost 15 lbs
This thread is very useful and helpful for accountability, support and motivation!! Since I am currently 23 weeks pregnant, my JFT goals revolve around maintaining an exercise routine. My weight-loss journey will begin again in May (my little one is due in April).
1/1 Monday JFT:
▪Breakfast
▪Elliptical
▪Stretch
▪Read at least one research article (5 total)
▪Stay Hydrated (still recovering from cold)
▪Clean a little throughout the house
▪Grocery inventory & list (need month supply)
[Grocery shopping tomorrow]
▪Dinner by 7 pm
▪Bedtime by 10 pm
Having a baby is a blessing. Through all remember that.1 -
Okay got a couple of pics to show you! I'll put them in spoilers so it doesn't take up the whole page LOL
This is my tree..
This is the view I had on the way to one of the cities near me, Stoke not Manchester.
And a couple of Marley making an escape and at the shopping centre
I don't have any new pics of Casey really but I will do at some point
I love your tree! The view on the way to Stoke is such pretty countryside! What is the temperature there? I don't see snow...(lucky you!)
Marley is a doll! You sure do make cute babies, @Bex953172 !

Skipped a couple days. It's been very stressful & also long road trip. Eating to stay awake while driving & due to boredom. But could have made wiser choices. It was a free for all. if I keep making excuses, I'll never get to where I want to be weight wise & healthwise. I'll try again, here.
I'm working on changing some bad habits too. Need to get more sleep & go to bed earlier & wake up earlier....then maybe I can incorporate exercise.
JFT:
Dec. 26
*Weigh
*make wiser food choices
*drink at least 4 glasses of water
*unpack
*plan meals through Monday
*pay couple of parents bills
*work on 1 or all of these:
find VA fiduciary stuff for meeting,
find dentist for parents,
write rough draft response to attorney, email bro & SIL
*9:30 get ready for bed
* make list for tomorrow
* Get food & things ready for tomorrow
*10pm tv or read
12am Go to bed
Hoping all of us meet our goals today & that we make it a great day!
Linda
Hi Linda, I haven't been on much the past few weeks due to an injury, but I had to take a minute to tell you that I HEAR YOU on the more sleep and up earlier habit. OMG, do I need to do this too. It's in the back of my head every single day, but I never, ever, ever do it. If you find the magical spell that helps with this, please SHARE!

I sure hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! We had a nice one. It was much more low-key than past years, as people came at more staggered times. It was nice. We were able to sit and talk more with each of them and watch the littles open their gifts without all the commotion. But I have to admit, I did rather miss the commotion too!
I am still being seen at the concussion clinic, but at least on these new medications, I have not had a migraine for 4 days. I made it through work without one today too. Crossing my fingers I'm starting to heal.
I have not been a good girl. I have gained 4 lbs. I'm actually pretty pissed off at myself. I know better. I haven't even hardly been eating! It's not like I've been grazing for days or anything. I really believe it is that I do not drink enough water, plus I have not been walking since the concussion. Well, and I've had a few chips here and there...but seriously nothing that should cause a 4 lb weight gain.
So....here I go! Back on the proverbial horse!
JFT:- Journal every single bite, even the chocolates I've been grabbing here and there all day at work.
- Drink half my weight in water
- Listen to Half Size Me podcast
- Walk Maddie when I get home, no excuses acceptable.
- Think before I speak and try to phrase things in a kind manner. Don't blow your top over stupid *kitten*.
- Begin making notes about the family meeting I'm going to call after the first of the year. (yeah...putting the hammer down. won't be fun or pretty.)
- Beck's Diet Solution steps: ARC's, eat sitting down, mindfulness. Read next chapter.
- Bedtime: Unplug at 8:00. Bed at 9:00. Gratitude Journal / Dodie book / Simple Abundance. Calm app and lights out at 10.
I cannot tell you how much I have missed you all while I've been MIA. You have become like family to me, people I check in with every day to share successes, frustrations, problems, answers, photos and just plain life. So, when I don't "chat" with you for a while, I feel like something is missing in my life. Each and every one of you has a spot in this heart. Don't ever forget that!
I'll check in later. Blessings....

I have to share this picture. Michaela decided this year she loves Nutcracker’s and I was given this one free. I think this made her whole day.1 -
Hi guys! Work was excruciatingly dull today. I spent most of the day on my phone. Lol. We have a feeling that this week is going to be like this. I really don't know what I am going to do tomorrow. TBH I snooped in people's accounts all day. I feel like you can learn a lot from people's spending habits. Lol. I'm the worst kind of banker. I don't think I am going to get anything done on my list tonight. I am currently laying on the couch with a warm comfy cat in my lap. I do not want to move. Lol. There's hockey on in the back ground. I think I am going to do some ebook shopping tonight too. Lol2

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
February 2018: 173.6
March 2018: 179.6

October: 185.4
November: 188.2
Today: 190.2
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" at thrift stores. Practice French braiding on D's hair.
2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
3. Find out if a second masters pays the same as an EdS (email HH). Revise Machiavelli Prince Analysis - Part 1 paraphrased explanation, Part 2 quote & leader choice & explanation, part 3 reflection. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook.
4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener
6. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Gifts for dad and DH - look for licorice puffs (Dollar Tree), cookbook. Fix laptop bag. Find a recipe for squash soup that looks good.
8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
9. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, Harvey Mansfield, or Robert Adams). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I finally, finally, FINALLY wrote a post for my teaching blog. It's only been three months... *sigh*2 -
@PackerFanInGB so good to see you on here and glad the migraines are improving. Don’t stress the gain - it’s a small amount and you’ve been through a really rough time. I have no doubt you will get it off in no time at all.
@snowflake1968 gorgeous pic of you and your granddaughter- kids make Christmas so special!
@clicketykeys what are you doing at the Y early this morning? Sounds like you are preparing for a major session! Hope you enjoy and well done on the blog. I have no idea how you fit it all in!2 -
I had an ok day yesterday. I felt so rough from Christmas indulgence that I could barely eat all day. I haven’t weighed and won’t do until the weekend but it’s been so strange to actually ‘feel’ and see the water weight on my body!
We had a dinner for my sister’s birthday last night and I’m really pleased that I managed to eat sensibly. Older versions of me would have either eaten too much because I’d already messed up at Christmas so what the heck, or restricted to try and make up for it, and then end up resentful/hangry. I guess it was helpful that I’d not eaten much during the day, as I managed to log and fit it all in, even a small slice of birthday cake.
Today the kids and I will be heading to the cinema to see the new Mary Poppins movie with friends and then lunch out. Should be fun - wishing you all a great day x
Wednesday goals recap:
- morning workout ✅
- Head to shops to exchange gift ✅
- Sort younger daughter’s room and hang mirror and lights 😬 started but big job in the end!
- Laundry and cleaning ✅
- Parents for evening ✅
- Water!❎
- New resident permit for car ✅ but couldn’t print it?! This is getting seriously annoying!
- Early night ✅
Thursday goals:
- morning workout
- Finish daughter’s room clearout/rearrangement
- Movie and lunch - make good choices
- Groceries
- Put away laundry
- Meet sis at train station for coffee before she heads home
- Early night2 -
Morning all! Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We had a lovely day - the kids were so excited and happy with their presents and everyone got on. I massively overindulged and am feeling it this morning. Didn’t log at all but it wasn’t pretty! Puffy with water retention and super sluggish - ugh!
But I’ve got up determined to get back to usual. I’ve done a workout and need to stay motivated. It’s my sister’s birthday so we will head back to my parents’ place for dinner this evening. There will be loads of food and a birthday cake that I’ve made but I would really prefer not to have another big blowout. Need to remember how grim I felt first thing this morning!
So, goals for today:
- morning workout ✅
- Head to shops to exchange gift
- Sort younger daughter’s room and hang mirror and lights
- Laundry and cleaning
- Parents for evening
- Water!
- New resident permit for car

hey everyone! Merry Christmas, my Christmas ended up rather odd, xmas eve my partner got really drunk, and we had a bit of an argument. we decided to pretend it didn't happen for xmas day because his parents were coming round but there was tension between us still. hed also ate something dodgy and therefore after 10 mins of opening presents he had to go up back to bed. he spent all day up there, my mother in law helped be do the dinner and we opened all the presents with the girls. although I'm grateful for the help the dinner was not what I had in mind, we had Turkey, stuffing balls and pigs in blankets, but we did mash potatoes and steamed broccoli and carrots. so really it was just a standard Sunday roast dinner. but I did appreciate the help so cant complain too much.
no one was drinking, I didn't know what to do to entertain them so stuck a film on for everyone. my partner came down for his dinner and the mood lightened and our tension was gone.
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't enjoy my xmas day, I wanted to spend it with my partner and with him not being there it was hard to enjoy much else.
however yesterday boxing day was much much better! we got up had a full English breakfast, had 'cuddles' in bed Haha, a quick tidy up and then we put on some of the nibbles we bought for Christmas day which never made it out the freezer, which were breaded king prawns, won ton cups and spring rolls
we started drinking, we played games with the girls, I started the roast beef, I did roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, stuffing balls and pigs in blankets and made a gravy from the beef juices. a proper xmas dinner. i was pished and even the dinner didn't soak it up. so had dessert too and got the girls in bed (Casey needed a bath after the dessert lol it was just everywhere) anyway Marley and Casey zonked out immediately, saskias did drawing in her bed but vomited a couple of hours later (fortunately in the toilet) she had too much chocolate
we played with the girls
I had sobered up by bed time but my God, I was SO full, I had a coffee and a water and watched a film with Ash then went to bed.
so we basically had xmas day on boxing day and it was great!3 -
oh and 175! 3lb gain! that's over a week though.
oh and I also dropped my phone down the stairs on xmas day and broke it!
do I've put my SIM in my tablet lol3 -

Heading out to visit family for a few days. Things are likely to be topsy-turvy!
@Faebert Theoretically we were gonna leave at 8:00 and now it's 8:07, and we'll be in the car just about all day, so if I'm going to get much of any exercise in, I needed to do it super early. Since it's cold and gloppy and dark, I went to the Y and got on the treadmill for awhile.2 -
@Snowflake1968 Precious picture. Look at that adorable face!
@PackerFanInGB So sorry to hear you had concussion & are in process of recovering. I hope you are well soon. Re: sleep & waking I've struggled for a long time. So we'll have to find the magic, together. It looks like we both have a plan, so with me... like dieting it is executing the plan, not making excuses & being consistent. I need to follow Nike's ad campaign & "just do it!"
if I keep making excuses, I'll never get to where I want to be weight wise & healthwise.
(In addition to controlling food intake, I Need to get more sleep & go to bed earlier & wake up earlier. Of course, exercise, too. )

Had my goals drafted, ready to post yesterday. Then got a call that our wood would be delivered a week early and had to be on site to pay, and they couldnt guarantee we would get it next week at all. Had already been waiting 6 weeks so had to boogie home to take delivery. Anyway, I got my excerise. Stacked about a cord of wood and have another cord left to get stacked and covered today - snow/rain due overnight and I'm being a crazy lady since we paid a pretty penny for kiln dried since it was such a wet summer/fall and didnt feel like getting wet wood. It's our first season burning wood so we don't have a repoir with a wood guy yet, so I feared we would get duped if we went with seasoned. Anway!
JFT Thursday
1. WATER
2. Drink smoothie
3. Eat packed lunch
4. Cook dinner at home
5. Log all food
6. Get remainder of cord wood under cover atleast - can finish stacking tomorrow/weekend2 -

Here I go with my excuse for yesterday. When I got to work, noticed my boss had gone thru my desk! I was furious!!! He left cover of a notebook that had contained my notes for a period of time & had gotten rid of the contents. What else is missing?! So stressful start to workday. I really must find a new job!!!! (Naturally I should have been stronger & not have followed the path of self-destruction. )
Anyway, same goals for today...
Hoping all of us meet our goals today & that we make it a great day!

I am speechless! How dare your boss do that! What an invasion!1 -
Had my goals drafted, ready to post yesterday. Then got a call that our wood would be delivered a week early and had to be on site to pay, and they couldnt guarantee we would get it next week at all. Had already been waiting 6 weeks so had to boogie home to take delivery. Anyway, I got my excerise. Stacked about a cord of wood and have another cord left to get stacked and covered today - snow/rain due overnight and I'm being a crazy lady since we paid a pretty penny for kiln dried since it was such a wet summer/fall and didnt feel like getting wet wood. It's our first season burning wood so we don't have a repoir with a wood guy yet, so I feared we would get duped if we went with seasoned. Anway!
JFT Thursday
1. WATER

I do not envy you your wood heat, so much work goes into it. I love the heat it provides, but growing up with it I swore I would never have it again.0 -
Well I have not posted goals since Monday and I believe it’s time I get back to it. I have logged some things at least. LOL
I have been having a pain in my chest for the last few weeks. It feels like there is something on the inside trying to push out through the bones. I made a doctors appointment this morning because hubby is worried and frankly I’m starting to wonder what’s going on too.
I got a Cricut for Christmas I have been watching You Tube videos all morning trying to figure it out! I have ideas for projects now, but really need to spend some on supplies.
Onto my goals!
JFT - Thursday December 27
2L of water
Calories in Green
5 fruits and veggies
Stay conscious of my actions. Do not disappoint myself!
I am not going to try to exercise right now, I don’t feel 100% and think I need to be cleared by the doctor first.3 -

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!?!? Sorry to fan the flames on this one - but your boss going thru your stuff is crossing a line, nevermind getting rid of the contents! Makes me mad just reading it!
I AM WITH @AJB1014 !!! I would be so angry!!! That is definitely crossing a line and I don't even know how I would react to that. Ooooh....my blood is boiling for you!!

@Snowflake1968 Precious picture. Look at that adorable face!
@PackerFanInGB So sorry to hear you had concussion & are in process of recovering. I hope you are well soon. Re: sleep & waking I've struggled for a long time. So we'll have to find the magic, together. It looks like we both have a plan, so with me... like dieting it is executing the plan, not making excuses & being consistent. I need to follow Nike's ad campaign & "just do it!"
if I keep making excuses, I'll never get to where I want to be weight wise & healthwise.
(In addition to controlling food intake, I Need to get more sleep & go to bed earlier & wake up earlier. Of course, exercise, too. )
Thanks Linda! I go to the concussion clinic this afternoon for another follow up, and I'm hoping they will say I'm released! (Won't happen, but I am hoping anyway!) I'm a little accident prone...you'll learn that about me. It's not fun.
I have struggled with getting enough rest for a long time also. I really struggle to fall asleep because my brain doesn't want to shut off, and I wake frequently at night, so when the alarm goes off I'm usually in a deep sleep and cannot get my butt out of bed! I have a plan mapped out but I really need to stick to it.
My excuse last night was that my BIL is up from Texas and staying with us and last night we had relatives stop in to see him before he leaves tonight. I stayed up to visit and should have gone to bed! Tsk, tsk, tsk....<shame on me!>
Congrats on your weigh in smiley face! 2 -

Oh my goodness, I remember getting wood delivered for the winter! We heated our house for 8 years with wood until we moved to town. We used to get 12 full cords in full length logs delivered in the summer and spend all summer and fall cutting, splitting and stacking! It was a LOT of work, but I sure do miss it... It was a nice dry heat and smelled so good...
We bought ours a year in advance to try to dry it out. It got expensive but actually saved us a ton of money by not heating with LP.0
