    JFT Wednesday


    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?

    Have you heard about pancakes made from protein powder? I haven't tried them..kind of waiting for reviews, lol.

    Thursday, February 1, Day 21

    I completed my daily goals yesterday.

    JFT:
    Log all food
    Stop eating by 8pm
    Drink 7 glasses of water before 7pm
    Ride 5 miles on the bike
    Complete next session of online program
    journal
    work on memorizing this week's scripture
    Stand Firm!

    What I've learned: It's a brand new month! Many of us began the year or mid-month with either new or renewed intentions. I think we've done marvelous! I am looking forward with great anticipation at what our progress will be at the end of the year! We are a heave-ho gang of gals (so far) and I love our unified effort of pulling us all along together.

    Monthly Habits:
    At the beginning of January I set out to gain three new habits to help me reach my health goal:
    Log all food on MFP
    Drink 7 glasses of water daily
    Exercise 3-5 times a week

    With the help and continued help of JFT, I feel that these are indeed now habits. But I have to be intentional and not let life's distractions pull my eyes away from them.

    February's habits: Although these aren't physical health related, I am on an overall health journey.
    1. Reduce Social media time to 4 hours a day. (I watch, maybe an hour of Netflix but the pull of FB, etc., UGH)
    2. Memorize one Scripture each week that will support this health journey.
    3. Write in my prayer/gratitude journal at least 3 times/week.

    Peace and joy!
    Together we are going to reach the mountain top!! Whomever reaches the top first, let the rest of know how it looks!

    :lol: you sound like me atm! Sleeping everywhere!

    I fell asleep halfway up the stairs the other day. I think I only sat down for a moment.

    It scared the €rap out my partner when he found me thinking I’d fallen or something :lol:

    Oh my word, that was me on my fourth child. We homeschooled and I remember giving a spelling test. I would literally call out the word and immediately go into a deep sleep. The kids would write down the word then wake me up. I'd startle out of a sleep, call the next word and zonk right out again. Those kids could have crept away and I wouldn't have known it...or just completed the spelling test and tell me that I'd given the last word.. I was just so tired. My husband was gone during the week and home only on weekends...no doubt that contributed to the weariness.

    Haha, then a few weeks after the baby, I took the kids swimming at the city pool. I was holding the baby on the steps in the wading area feeling worn out. A lady sat down next to me and oohs and ahhs over the baby. She asked me when he was born. For the the life of me I could not remember the date! I just looked at her for several seconds and then said, "I've got no idea." She quietly slipped away, lololol

    :sweat_smile: !!!!!!

    I always forget my kids birthdays!
    I feel like im trading in my brain cells for kids haha!

    I saw on Jan 31 saragirl2 posted a recipe on this thread. Not sure if it's on my agenda to try at this point, I'm not a big fan of some of the ingredients.

    I like the idea of daily commitment. I was doing great staying on track and getting my workouts in them wham....Monday it was like I had an elephant on my chest. Still I get winded so easily, my heart keeps doing odd things. Plus some other symptoms, I dont think it’s the flu cause I have none of those symptoms. The nurse in me kept going back and forth, but I’m waiting on a appt. as I type this. So fingers crossed.
    But I’ve tried hard to still log my food even though I’ve been out of sorts. Since the walk to the mailbox winds me I haven’t done much exercising
    Doc thinks I’m just fighting something wicked. All vitals and EKG look good, thankfully. He said I need to just keep resting like I am. He said “people are dying cause they try to push through it like any other cold. You can’t push through the flu.” Makes sense. Hopefully I start to get better soon

    Thank goodness it's not the flu! I hope you feel better soon! We're all pulling for you.

    Hey everyone! So many positives on here. Great job everyone!

    I'm posting tonight for tomorrow since I am struggling getting on at work. My new job is getting busy and I really am loving it! I definitely made the right choice there... :smiley:

    Just for Friday
    1. Eat breakfast - I need to start eating before noon.
    2. Log every bite
    3. Increase water intake. Really pay attention to this.
    4. Use the Miracle Timer app to remind myself to get up every hour and move.
    5. Listen to Optimal Living, Optimal Health and Half Size Me podcasts
    6. Read Simple Abundance for the day, next Beck's chapter and write in gratitude journal
    7. Take the day as it comes. Deal with one thing at a time. No stress allowed! :smile:

    I'll check back in tomorrow. xoxox

    Great job tracking your food and eating well! Wonderful. Read the response cards one little ol time (have no idea what they are but they seem important!!!) Are they short enough to tape a couple to your dash, bathroom mirror, etc?

    The "response cards" are from a book that I was reading, called "The Beck Diet Solution: training your brain to think like a thin person. This book is really good -- last years thread I posted the things to do each day. I need to get back to doing these things myself again!

    But the response cards are just index cards ... where you write down all the reasons you want to lose weight. You are suppose to keep these cards where you can look at them several times a day ... to remind us of why we want to lose weight and become more healthy.

    Thanks for the reminder -- I love the Operation Red Cup LOL!! Now everytime I see that red cup, I will think of that. I've been slacking again. .... so need to keep this up until it becomes a better habit!

    Hope you feel better! There seems to be so much flu going around! Luckly hubby and I have escaped getting it so far!
