JFT 2/5/18
1. Up by 6:30(this might be hard)
I woke up when the alarm went off at 630. Reset it for my DH's time to get up and just kind of laid there in between wake and sleep for the next hour
2. Coffee/Bible/MFP
Coffee and MFP were done, didn't do the Bible. Mostly because I woke up late
3. Clean out freezer(Keep Vs. Trash)I spent two hours cleaning and organizing
I just want to know how it took 2 hours to clean a freezer!! How big is it?!
@Bex953172 You crack me up!!! The stuff you pick up on just makes me laugh!

@Bex953172 Now come on. Were you wondering if 2 hours was too much or too little time to clean out a freezer? It could really go either way.

Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
Ate a couple of slices of toast. Not ideal but I did eat them instead of the junk I was intending to eat on the way home so not bad I don't think! I was feeling sorry for myself because of my cold.
- No alcohol
- 30+ minute lunch break really struggling with this one. I think it's because I feel I have nowhere to go for my lunch - it's busy in the kitchen and I don't really want to go for a walk when it's cold (and I'm ill). I think I will try to stay at desk but turn email OFF.
- Take it easy!
Today's commitments:

Note to self: Just do what you can and don't be discouraged! When hubby is sick, the whole "stops" and must revolve around his every minute --> this is the fourth day and it is starting to wear me out plus now I think I coming down with it!! Everyone needs to be nursed but when the "nurse" gets sick she has to suck it up!! (Sorry for the rant here, maybe it is just the pregnancy hormones.)
I'm so happy to hear everyone is doing well. You all keep me encouraged!!1 -
JFT
*Yesterday* - achieved it!! scales have been up and down, but lost 3lbs during round 30, so come on, that's awesome.
*Today* - Aaarrggghhh - got a McDonalds burger at the drive through. Why? I just felt too tired to cook and it is too goddam cheap. and then I had to log basically 500 calories of crap. I felt so bad. BUT it's just one day. And I had no sweets and no alcohol. I need to prep better on the weekend for these low energy work days. I actually hate McDonalds.
February 7th - JFT
1) no chocolate/sugar/alcohol tonight
2) cook all meals at home & log everything - just make beans on toast if u r tired ffs
2 goals will do for today/tomorrow --> I need a win. It's really day by day at the moment.
Mini-goal is in sight ... u can do it!
Round 31 is beginning, let's get one good JFT, then 2, then ,.. 10!
Good luck everyone!4 -
@MLHC1 I'm so sorry hubby is sick! My husband can usually be pretty self sufficient when he's sick. Thank goodness. But heaven forbid I get sick. He's kind of useless. Lol. He's been sick for a while. We thought it was just a cold but my Godmom is a nurse and said that it sounds like a sinus infection so I'm going to get him to the doc for antibiotics. Please take care of yourself and the little boy that's growing inside you! I hope that you feel better soon. Have a great day!2

It’s like this in my house.
I’ve been sick most this pregnancy but when anyone else has been sick it’s like deaths door!
What’s worse is that we have lowered immune systems so it will drain us a bit more than the average person!
Yet we have to suck it up and do what we need to!
The other day though, i was incapable of anything and my oh did do EVERYTHING. So glad of that tbh! And obviously pregnancy hormones don’t help either lol!1 -
having a truly crappy morning.7

Get in that pool, trust me, you'll love it. Set no other goal for this week that to get in, the build your self up. Good luck x This is my goal for Next February (*2019*) I don't even own a swimsuit right now and have no idea where I'd get one in my size (BIG) within my budget, I'm also located in the countryside, nowhere near a beach... Hmm, I might go check out the nearby town's YMCA and see if they have a pool.
Thanks for the inspiration eminator 2 -
having a truly crappy morning.
You're not alone, but we have to overcome the negativity or it will just drag us down further!!
Find a positive somewhere........mine ➡️ the kids made it to school on time and regardless of how yucky I feel, I can still force food down
Hang in there, this too shall pass
@HGSmith0920 You're very lucky to have a hubby who is self sufficient when he is sick! Mine is like a 2 yr. old Luckily I know how to deal with one, Lol!
@Bex953172 I guess that is just part of the "mommy job" description,everyone first and us last 3 -
So sorry @missheidi! Just remember that it WILL pass. I hope your day gets better as it goes along.0

Today I hit all my goals but one *avoid sugar. Because Cake, 'nuff said.
On the upside I ate and was satisfied with a single serve of fruit cake, normally I would take two or three slices without thinking, mainly because a single slice looked "lonely" to me - emotional eater? who me?
Goals for tomorrow:
observe MFP kj limit
stay in the green with fat and sugar
complete 1hr in one set on the exercise bike - have a coffee, you earned it
eat chia for breakfast
eat only when I want
eat only what I know I would want if I hadn't eaten gluten and sugar filled cake yesterday
avoid added sugar and try to cut sweetener use in half today
avoid dairy and gluten (you know you can't eat them, don't make life harder for yourself!)
be in bed by 1:30am, aim: 6hrs sleep4 -

Kids have a 1/2 day today so rushing around. Would live to read the posts tonight-love catching up.
Drink water-64oz min.
Track all my meals today with a focus on reduced carbs/increased protein. I've logged most of my meals today already.
Ate a heavy protein breakfast and I can honestly say I'm not craving anything.
Pack protein bar & apple in bag.
30 min walk at my favorite park by the ocean. So muddy but the scenery is great for my peace of mind.
90 ab crunches.
Read today's Simple Abundance.
Meditate 25 mins.
Double fish oil & take echinacea.
Read for 15 mins "New Book Of Lifting for Women". 2x today
Started planning out the week with just a few loose ends.
Haircut for youngest.
Take kids to the Scout Shop for uniform supplies. Maybe we'll swim there if the pool is open.
Today I'll be proactive so I won't have to be reactive!

Hello Wonderful Ladies,
I have not been on for several days but I have been keeping up and sending various likes, hugs, etc. Such an encouraging and determined group...love it. A big welcome to new people. This is a great place.
For those who are prayer-folk, I would appreciate prayers for my sweet daughter-in-law and son. As some of you learned from earlier posts, we have been filled with joy at the prospect of our first grandchild, a boy, named Parker Wade. We had recently seen a picture of him sucking his thumb and a video of his hiccups. Last week, at 14 weeks, his heart stopped beating. She was induced this morning. This is her second miscarriage, but this occurred much later than the first. It is heartbreaking to have your kids go through such pain. So thankful her mom, (who is my best friend) is there to walk along beside them.
Peace and joy.7 -

Oh gosh! I'm so sorry! I will definitely be praying for her. How her heart must be broken! Thank goodness for moms! I will also keep you and your son in my prayers as well.1 -
I just looked up Pancake Race and laughed out loud! It's hysterical. I love the story behind it! Lol.0
