    6. Check for reply email about computer refusing to start. Finish Unit 1 plans if possible. Avoid panicking; I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED for Monday. I just don't have the plans written out in detail. Thank God I made all my student copies before trying to finish the lesson plans!

    Scale goals
    Dec 1 weigh-in: 176.6
    End of 2017: 174.6
    Jan 31 goal:
    169. That's a 1.5 lb/week drop from a start of 175, which makes the math a little easier!

    Goal for 1/8: 173.5. Today: 176.4. It is SO good to see those numbers coming down again! And AFAIK there are no celebrations planned with lots of food. Feeling pretty stoked about the possibility of real progress.

    Oh! And I got my VERY FIRST COMMENT on my blog, Fake It 'Til You Make It. That was super exciting - actually I'm probably more excited about that than is really warranted, but darnit, I'm going to take whatever positives I can get today!

    REALLY frustrated with the computer issue. Right now I'm on the husband's laptop, but all my work stuff is on the one that won't start. OH WELL. Guess I'll just HAVE to make the weekend work-free! ;D

    ... although I did put the dishes away and start a load of laundry. And there'll be more housework to get done. Ah well. Such is life!

    Happy Saturday everyone! <3

    Day 2: Accomplished everything with (again) exception of 4 cups of water instead of 5. Actually got in 30 minutes of stretching. And I swapped out a low calorie hot cocoa for the chocolate bar.

    1/5 JFT:
    I will drink 4.5 cups of water
    I will do 20 minutes of stretching
    I will do 15 minutes of band work.
    I will go over my notes from this week's online lessons
    I will record my food on mfp
    I will write an encouraging word to someone who needs an extra push today.

    Happy Saturday fellow JFTers! Today is already looking like a bust for me as I was up late and slept until 10:00 and now am engrossed in watching one of the Hunger Game Mockingjay movies. I'm still sipping my morning coffee. I must have needed it, so I'm not going to be upset with myself. One thing I learned the past two years is that I have to listen to my body sometimes and give it what it needs if I'm going to be successful in ANY area of my life.

    @toaljasa I love how you word your goals so positively..."I will..." I am going to borrow that from you!

    So, Just for Today (Saturday)
    • I will journal all food intake.
    • I will drink 8 cups of water.
    • I will do 15 minutes of cardio and 15 minutes of stretching and/or weights.
    • I will think before speaking today, as I'm feeling a bit irritable. I think I must have allergies to something in the house...woke up with puffy, itchy, watery eyes and headachy.
    • I will mark one thing off my to-do list.
    • I will eat more protein and less sugar.
    • Start over honestly on the Beck Diet Solution book and plan.

    Happy to see so many posting, and returning JFTers!

    Recap F 1/5 - Can't believe there are 25 posts since I logged into this thread! I'll have to catch up later, just want to get a few goal's down...
    1) No treadmill before work, my back feeling almost normal, so don't want to jinx it. Move hourly / stairs breaks at work. = Fitbit 7,851 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours, 26 floors. Not bad for non-treadmill day. :smiley:
    2) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories w/i 100 green = Ate healthy for lunch & early supper before massage, but binged a little on mixed nuts when I got home. Net calories > 100 red. :/ Maybe my 16c water helped, because w-i Sat. morning not bad. :p
    3) Get meat out of freezer for weekend, either chop suey or chili, ask hubby his preference (I know what mine is) = ground beef thawing for chili :smiley:
    4) Have spa appt. this evening for massage...yay! = Massage in evening did wonders for my lower back. I tried a wonderful peppermint tea after, plus drank more water, so feeling fine by bedtime. :smiley:
    5) No bedtime since no specific plans for Sat. and sleeping in. Will floss if I feel like it. :wink: No surprise, I didn't feel like flossing. Who was I trying to kid? :p

    JFT Sat. 1/6 - Plans were very fluid for today, just decided with hubby once he was fully awake from 2nd shift. SIL & BIL decided it's too cold to drive 1 1/2 hours (currently 6F), so they are staying home instead of visiting. I had a suspicion. So now the plans are...
    1) Already walked 3 miles on treadmill / 54:13 without pushing too hard & felt good! :smiley:
    2) Make chili for supper & get chop suey meats out of freezer for tomorrow
    3) Put away presents and take down real tree in family room
    4) Find last weekly w-i post from 2017 JFT and update...I plan on doing the same @joan6630! For me, making it public last year really kicked me into gear, since that's when I consistently started to lose weight. Thanks for that!
    5) Remember to drink & track water...I'm not so good at home, since I'm doing stuff and don't keep water bottle at my fingertips all day.

    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 weigh myself daily and log weekly / posting my Saturday a.m. weigh-in here. [My digital scale only shows half pound increments.]

    Saturday report
    10k steps :/ so far 9.4 k, maybe 10k by bedtime
    Log calories :)
    Stay green, which is hard on a weekend. :/ Right now 82 cal over, but that's not bad given I spent 12 hours today at a high school robotics competition with only junk food around to eat.
    Eat more fruit. :) I brought and ate 1 banana and 2 clementines. Better than no fruit.

    JFT Sunday
    Grocery shop for exciting but healthy foods.
    Make turkey chili
    Log calories
    Fast til noon
    Exercise!

    3. look for and buy a new water bottle to see if that helps me in getting in my water! Thanks @MLHC1 for that suggestion! :/ I looked in the grocery store, and they were like $27.00!! Is this how much a water bottle costs! Going to look in Walmart next week .... surely they have some that are less expensive!

    Wal-mart does have the best prices for water bottles. I paid around $15 For mine and it is a nice one that double locks and is condensation free. I buy my kiddos water bottles from Academy though. Since they are kids, they tend to lose them so we buy the Academy brand water bottle for $3. They work well and only leak if you tighten them to tight.
