    Congratulations @HGSmith0920! How typical that the call came just when you were starting to think about other jobs! Hopefully this one is meant to be and you love it. Enjoy your last days of freedom!

    I forgot to post weekend goals last night as I was in a bit of a funk. But I have some things I want to achieve (just for today) so...

    - exercise early
    - Hot yoga
    - 10k steps
    - 2ltr+ water
    - Pay balance for P’s easter drama club
    - Find and book easter club for L
    - Cancel L hosp appt
    - Speak to alarm company about getting a kitten
    - Research cattery costs and automatic cat feeders
    - Laundry and grocery shopping

    As you can see, I’m thinking about getting a kitten. The girls have been desperate for a pet for a while and a family friend has some looking for a good home. I’m just feeling a bit nervous about it. As a single parent working full time, I really don’t need any extra responsibilities. But I would love to give the kids this gift and maybe they can learn from taking on some of the duties too? Don’t know!

    Any wisdom from the pet owners amongst you??

    @clicketykeys please don’t hate yourself. Your lists each day are incredible. I can see the sheer amount of work you do in your job and you still focus on health goals too - that is much much more than most people manage. Be proud of that and don’t let a stupid number affect you.

    Spring is coming and hopefully you are due a work break soon (not sure of terms where you are?) I’m sure with a rest and re-set you will see the results you want. Hugs x

    @joan6630 - just wishing you strength for the funeral and all the stress you’ve had with your daughter’s stuff. Well done for staying focussed. X

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stick to food plan :| I had 2 extra G&Ts (c. 100 kcals). My and the boyfriend felt like getting Friday p#ssed
    - Take a 45+ minute lunch break :'( Nope, was far too behind on work to do this
    - Stop work by 6.30 :neutral: 6.45, because I had to in order to get ready for evening plans!

    Today I'm having a girly day out with my oldest friend (she's actually my youngest friend, lol... But we've been friends since we were 3!). I'm going to allow myself to over indulge a little today - we're going for a nice meal - but not going too mad!

    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Make and stick to food plan
    - have fun!

    Asclepsia:
    Taking a page from cschmidt; if it's out there for others to see, I'll be more committed.
    Height: 5- 8.5 inches
    Weight: starting weight--168
    1/1/ 2018=168.0
    2/1/2018: 164.0
    3/1/2018: 166.
    3/15/2018: 165.2
    Short term goal: 162 by April 1

    Back to logging food and being accountable; I've been slacking off the last month or so, and it shows. When I got weighed at the doctor's office yesterday, I had gained about 3-4 pounds--obviously going in the wrong direction. I didn't get any lectures, but I felt disappointed in myself.
    JFT:
    Log all food, even little snicky-snacks. :)
    Water: 6 cups--5, I think
    Exercise: 20" or more---15"
    Study for master gardener's class--yes--got folder organized and study sheets run off.
    Tidy living room area--organ tuner arrives tomorrow, and there needs to be a path to the instrument. yes--and the organ sounds so much better; the pedals work now! Yahoo!

    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 & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.]

    Age 60, 5'4" (lost 1/2" somewhere)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 140 - 145 [anything less is probably unsustainable]
    March Goal = 152.5

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    07/08 = 177.5 oops
    07/15 = 176.5
    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
    09/16 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!
    09/23 = 168.5 have lots challenges in upcoming week
    09/30 = 167.0 met Sept goal to stay under 170
    10/07 = 166.0
    10/14 = 166.5 dined out 2 days with adult beverages plus wine & cheesecake at spa
    10/21 = 166.5 dined out 2 days plus food day in office / no gain is good [joined Just Give Me 10 Days challenge (daily w/i)]
    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week
    11/25 = 163.0 no surprise after 2 no-logging-food days (parade day and Thanksgiving), just glad not worse
    12/02 = 161.0 Jingle Bell 5K day / 44:37 chip time & ave. pace 14:22 & very happy!
    12/09 = 158.5 surprised to say the least / first time in 10 years my weight is 1-5-anything! :love:
    12/16 = 158.0 no work parties or food days & stuck with CICO
    12/23 = 157.5 no "workouts" but shoveled snow & snowshoed, busy with Christmas preparations
    12/30 = 159.0 Christmas Day no food/beverages logged
    01/06/18 = 159.0 New Year's Eve hubby & I splurged on treats & beverages (at home), and I did not log...totally worth it!
    01/13 = 157.0 big surprise! Yesterday evening, walked in Frenzy on the Fox 5K in 47:26 & pace 15:19. Very happy with my time, wore layers of clothes in 10 degrees & NNW 12 mph wind, fun event.
    01/20 = 156.5
    01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing
    02/03 = sick / no weigh in
    02/10 = 152.5 unhealthy loss due to illness / I know weight will go back up & I'm totally fine with that
    02/17 = 153.0 thrilled with annual physical on 2/15/18: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:
    02/24 = 154.0 little out of control last week, but at goal for the month
    03/03 = 155.5 oops / still lower than before I was sick
    03/10 = 153.5 back on track
    03/17 = 152.5

    1. Log all food :)Didnt eat much today, I guess. I didn't hit my original calorie goal let alone eating back all the exercise ones
    2. 94oz water :)Dont know exactly how much but I am willing to bet that I did
    3. Up by 7:20 w/ DH :):DThis morning was absolutely terrible! I dont ever want to relive that. Everyone is okay,
    at least. I ended up going back to sleep after the DH left for work at 8. I slept until 11:15!
    5. Coffee/Tea time :)I had a cup of coffee at 7:30 and didn't have another one until 11:15. The DH didn't get any tea this morning.
    6. Bible/Meditate/Pray :/Sleeping in completely screwed up my day
    7. Yoga :/See above
    8. Gym :/See above...yet again
    9. DROP OFF THE DANG BOOK! :'(I didn't really leave the house today. I'm heading to that part of town tomorrow and have to pass right by the library so I will do it then
    10. Shower :|Didnt go to the gym so I didn't really see the point. I'll do it in the morning. Lol
    11. Meal Prep :)Did this at least! About an hour and a half
    12. Lunch/Dinner in the Crock :)Ate lunch really late but I got dinner going on time.
    13. Take out leftovers for tomorrow :)Defrosting in the fridge as we speak
    14. Needles(possibly) :'(Postponed until Monday afternoon
    15. Clean kitchenette/walls :/Didnt have the energy to/just didn't want to
    16. DH time :)Doing this now. Spent about an hour and a half folding laundry and doing dishes
    17. Dinner/Dishes :)Was yummy and very filling. It was a ton of food and only about 350 calories
    18. Bed by 11 :)Probably. It's 9:30 and I'm exhausted.

    Other than the freak out my DH had this morning because of the cat it was a really good calm day. The DH had an insanely busy day at work but it was quiet here while he was there. At one point I was lounging on the couch, covered in a blanket and a cat in my lap. I had absolutely no desire to get up and do anything. I managed to finally get up and throw in some laundry.

    Tomorrow is going to be a very quiet day.

    JFT, 3/18/18

    1. Up @ 7:30 w/ the DH
    2. Coffee/ Tea time
    3. Breakfast/Yoga
    4. Church
    5. Shopping with M
    6. DH time
    7. Dinner(leftover Shepherd's Pie)/Dishes
    8. Bed by 11

    I think this is the quietest day I've had in a very long time. Lol

    I'm feeling very whiney and I had to grab groceries. I didn't buy the black forest cake that was on special or the new candy variety. I'll take my broken wedding bands in for repairs later in the week. :'(

My ARMS burn - how weird is that? I get out of breath in like fifteen freaking seconds. Plus, I don't have those big red numbers glaring at me "omg i must be running like ten miles an hour" NO YOU'RE NOT YOU AIN'T EVEN DOING FIVE STOP YA WHININ.

    Love this thread, great idea.
    Goal today, for Sun., 3/18, is to do cardio and & lift. Tried this new pre-workout powder from Vitamin Shoppe called “NUTRABIO.” It already removed all the tiredness and procrastination and gave great mental sharpness. Going to see if it helps the workout . . .
