    @OConnell5483 hope all goes well, thinking of you❤️.


    Drink water-64oz min.
    Track all my meals today with a focus on reduced carbs/increased protein. So far, so good. Definitely impacting my binge tendencies.
    20 min walk with dog in park-too cold!.
    Start chili & freeze some for the weekend.
    Read today's Simple Abundance.
    Afternoon, meditate 25 mins.
    10pm bedtime-remind myself how good I feel the next day.
    Continue reading "New Book Of Lifting For Women"-the chapter I'm on talks about breaking down nutrition and quotes a lot of interesting studies.
    Based on what I've read, I'd like to transition to eating more grass fed meats/eggs/dairy for the heslthy omega 3s. Also, a friend is going to show me how to make homemade yogurt. Adding a 1/3 cup of nuts everyday to one of my snack times. Double my fish oil intake.
    Prep paint class today/tomorrow to eliminate stress on weekend.
    Try on son's hockey skates for Saturday. Yikes!

    Weighed today 202.
    GW: 150

    Wowie Zowie! That's a huge difference! Hope you and your kiddos can get lots of enjoyment from your "new" space.

    @Bex953172 that is an amazing transformation! What did you use to get the algae off the stones?? Your back yard reminds me of scenes from Coronation Street. When I visit my family in Canada, we have to watch it. I'm a bit of a fan, but I gave fallen way behind! Enjoy the new space. Your girls will have lots of fun there.

    I did it all with a pressure washer!
    The whole thing lol! Just blasted the gunk off and hen directed it all to the drain!
    Did require a very lengthy shower as I got a lot of it on me.

    My partner wants to go over it with yard disinfectant though just to be sure lol!

    I've seen the sheet/pillowcase combo...never think to try it...thanks for the reminder!

    You lot sleep weird. :lol:

    Had to read a couple of times but yes I get it haha
    Thought back to the time I went to America for holidays when I was younger and I do rememver the extra sheet!
    Yep we just have bottom sheet and duvet. But sometimes we put “throw cushions” on haha
    And also a quilt to drape over the end of the bed. But that’s purely decoration not for any sort of practical use haha

    And I suppose your sleeping pillows are square?

    No rectangle!! Who has square sleeping pillows! Sounds awful lol :lol:

    The Belgians for one, lol! It was so weird at first. You can buy them in the States...they are called European pillows.[/quote]

    Hahaha I feel like you’re having me on!!

    JFT WEDNESDAY RECORD
    1. stick to calorie goal :)
    2. Join gym :)
    3. Go for a swim and sauna :)
    4. Metafit class :)

    I’d forgotten how amazing swimming can feel- completely lost myself in it and well under my calorie goal after all this exercising. I’m currently aiming for 1lb loss a week but wondering about sometimes aiming to eat 500 calories under my goal- to make me at the 2lb week loss range, but without the pressure of always aiming for this which comes from changing calorie goal formally. Oh decisions decisions!

    JFT THURSDAY GOALS
    1. stick to calorie goal
    2. Go to gym or swim in morning
    3. Go to yin yoga
    4. Go to Ashtanga yoga

    @cory17 - good for you for signing up for a marathon! Great goal to have!

    @bcTRAI - great job at meeting your January goals!!!

    @toaljasa-- This year as I felt the need to really work on getting healthy, the phrase that came to me was "stand firm." When obstacles that are trying to derail me from reaching my goal arise (and of course they will) stand firm. This has been helpful in battling temptations and has empowered me to stay strong. If/when I stumble I will get right back up and again I will stand firm.
    I LOVE THIS!!! I will have to remember it also -- to stand firm!

    @Saragirl2 - thank you for the protein pancakes! THis weekend I am going to try them! I am also trying to up my protein - so far, I am up to around 100 gms of protein. And like you, I noticed that my cravings are not nearly as bad ... but I know I need to be better getting my water in!

    PROTEIN POWDER There was a commercial on TV today for boost protein powder with no additives or fillers. I wondered if that wouldn't be awesome for many of us. Has anyone seen it in stores yet?

    I would have posted this last night but I ended falling asleep on the couch while watching hockey with the husband and by the time I woke up I could barely make it to bed, although I did manage to remember to take my meds. Lol
    JFT 1/31/18

    2. Quiet time/journal :|I did my quiet time but not the journaling.

    6. Finish setting up printer :/
    7. Print out tax forms :/
    8. Work on Debt Snowball :/
    9. Dinner/Dishes :)Almost forgot about the pan soaking when I woke up from the couch but I managed to finish it so I had an empty sink! Woohoo!
    10. Hockey/Quality time with DH :)Kind of. I fell asleep almost immediately, but at least it was in my DH's arms.
    Lol
    11. Wash face/brush teeth :/
    12. Bed by 11 :)1045 I think. Lol

    So I didn't get much done yesterday. The problem was I forgot to take my meds on Tuesday night so I took them yesterday morning. Well, they make me really tired which is why I take them before bed usually. So I got the DH up and out of bed and off to work and had to lay down again because I was so tired. I got up a half an hour later, ran to the store and got everything I needed to clean the shower and FINALLY conquered that task that took all of about 5 minutes. Lol. After I called the tire place and they said that if I came right then that they could do the car. So I race down there and 2.5 hours later my car is fixed! It was a really long wait but I ended up realizing that I know the owner. Lol. And she was super apologetic about the wait and I knew it wasn't her fault. It was the customer before me. But it was worth the wait. The work was only a little over $150 and the car drives great now! I and my DH love it there. We go there for pretty much everything because they are so reasonable and the people are just so awesome. Lol. I got home about quarter to two and ended up eating something and going back to sleep. I was so tired! I slept for two hours until the DH got home, made dinner, cleaned it up and passed back out on the couch. Lol. I guess I really needed the sleep. I slept pretty much through the night as well. So all in all, even though I didn't get much of my list done it was a good day. So on to today!

    2. Quiet time/journal
