JFT, TUes
1. log all food (Not logging on here yet because both places is just too time consuming!)
2. mindful eating Now this is a huge NSV for me. My daughter and I were in Barnes & Noble tonite... and we got a coupon for buy one cookie, get one free. We almost did this, but I told my daughter she would have to eat both cookies. She did not want to do that, because she wanted a cupcake from the grocery store, so we did not buy the cookies. Next stop ... grocery store for a few items, and the cupcake for my daughter. At this time, I was getting SO hungry. My daughter bought some Twizlers instead of a cupcake, which I also love, and she was eating those in the car. Guess what I did ... I bought myself a container of cut of cantalope.... and ate that instead. It was great, much better than cookies, candy, or a cupcake. It took longer for me to eat also. So I was happy later .... and maybe my mindset is starting to change just a little!
3. jan challenge = 8+ water
4. feb challenge - 1 nite time snack Already ate a container of cantalope .. so yes, only snack for me tonite.
5. mar challenge - 15 min outside .. should not be a problem .... hauling more dirt! I was outside for 4 hours again today .... hauling compost to the back yard. Then we picked up sticks and burned them. So busy, and very tiring day! I still have dinner dishes to do, and a bed fulled of washed, but not yet folded and put away clothes. After I finish those things... I am going to stop and just be lazy and turn on some TV.
JFT, Wed
1. log all food
2. mindful eating
3. jan challenge - 8+ water
4. feb challenge - only 1 nitetime snack. Brush teeth, get my glass of water

7. Work on scavenger hunt for grandsons. Any one have great ideas for this!! Our grandsons love when I do scavenger hunts, but they are older now, so they are more work for me LOL!! I am planning a easter egg hunt for when they come (Yes, I know easter is a month away, but we won't be seeing them on easter, but in their eggs I will have clues as to where to find small little gifts. I have to be creative!)

Hey everyone, i was just wondering, how would you all suggest i restart my fitness goals.
The move has been a bit of an eye opener, its been so easy to just grab food like pizza and just eat that and just quick food. Lots of treats for working so hard in moving and scrubbing.
Everything was so dirty from the previous tenants, so last night we scrubbed all the kitchen (tiles, cupboards) all the UPVC doors, all the inside doors and frames, radiators and window sills.
We still dont have carpets, they screeded (sp?) The floor which makes everything really dusty and you cant sweep it because it just creates more dust!
So i know im burning plenty of calories but unfortunately, i feel heavier, i look bigger and my clothes are tighter.
I feel like a right fatty. You know when you just know!
Were also running on bare minimum food, we're buying things "just to keep us going" so its not exactly healthy stuff.
And with the cost of the move we wont be able to buy much shopping, it will be enough to keep us going this week so i cant really go wild and start getting all my alternatives, im just eating what everyone else is.
So im not sure which approach to take, should i edit my settings? Or jump in from where i was?
I was okay with not doing the goals and eating whatever i needed through the move but its not healthy, im not healthy, and i have to do something NOW before it goes too far! Im starting to feel very unhappy with my weight amd very self concious, i feel like i have 4000 chins and just meh.
Xxx
Hubby and I have been super busy the past few weeks, and I use the crockpot a lot. (Tonite, it was just frozen chicken breast, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 container of lipton onion soup mix, and 1/2 cup low fat sour cream... was Super good, and easy! I put in 6 chicken breasts ... so we have enough for 2 more meals).
But what we have also been doing it buying the lean cuisine meals They are many times on sale at 4 for just $10.00. A very inexpensive meal, most are under 300 calories, and cheap! You could add veggies and fruit to them if you wanted. I think your little girls would even love them (they have things like spaghetti, mac and cheese, etc.).
With all your work cleaning your house, and taking care of 3 little ones, your crockpot could be your best friend. Start it in the morning, and dinner will be ready when you want it. Or, I do think those frozen meals ... so much better than just pizza. (And lower in calories, and more filling). Healthy Choice are also good frozen meals.
But, having said that ... I think once you get all settled in, you'll get your routine back again! And you are probably burning off a ton of calories with all the work you are doing!1 -

Morning all. Up early and having a coffee as I prepare myself to get out and run in a bit. The weather is quite mild so it’s a good day for it. Aiming to hit 10K again (exactly this time, after accidentally miscalculating and stopping a few metres too early last week lol!). It’s a bit of a risk to push myself hard today as I have parent consultation meetings this evening. But, given I’m out of class in planning this morning, then have three hours plus of sitting in meetings after school, it will be good to rack up 10000 steps plus before work!
Yesterday was good - stayed on track and made it to my daughter’s show. She was amazing - proud and emotional mummy!
Tuesday goals recap:
- morning workout ✅
- Do little one’s face paint for animal charity walk ✅ actually made a mask on her last-minute request at 7am 🙄
- Reply to parent email on arrival ✅
- Water - avoid tiredness snacking ✅
- Speak to boss re leaving early next week ✅
- Home lunchtime for car and shake ✅
- Parents evening prep after work 😐 did some but prob not enough
- Large snack before daughter’s concert or home early for quick dinner ✅ had a snack, and enjoyed a good dinner after
- Concert at 6:30 ✅
- Early night (non-negotiable, long run and parents eve tomorrow!!) ✅
Wednesday goals:
- morning run
- Early to work (staff choir and planning handover)
- Buy milk and chocolate/cake sprinkles on way to work
- Planning time: finish parents’ eve prep
- Water - stay hydrated!!
- Home lunchtime for car and shake. Take extra snack for parents eve
- money for piano teacher
- Make cake pops for bake sale with the kids on arrival home
- Early night
Have a great wednesday all! X4 -
Wednesday 20 March
Try to log accurately
Aim to be in the green
Aim for 5 fruit and veg
Fitbit excercise goals

February challenge
March challenge
I am off for a 2 night break with family to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary. I will make sensible choices but I am not going to allow these goals to influence decisions on what we do. There may not be the opportunity to meet Fitbit goals and eating lunch and dinner out may make it a challenge to stay in the green!2 -
Keep thinking about doing this but then never do, so here goes..
JFT
I will not eat any biscuits
I will track everything I eat
I will go for a run
Going for the KISS system, (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Danger Tuesday happened again and, whilst I didn't have burgers this time (boyfriend is away!) I ended up eating a large cookie and Bakewell tart in the office. I went over my calories quite a bit, although still some way within maintenance.
Tuesday really is dangerous for me. I thought it was just the fact that I have lots of meetings on Tuesday but I didn't actually have that many. I think it is also because I often end up clocking up some extra hours on Tuesday (because Monday I often have off and Wednesday I have to leave early because of French), and my willpower wanes late afternoon.
From now on, I'm renaming it Danger Tuesday and will have a plan for avoiding late afternoon/ early evening caving!
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan as above
- Be in the green as above
- 3+ bottles water Nope, just two. Will try to finish my third before work, feeling dehydrated!
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing Not sure, I think I didn't eat the cookie/tart until back at my desk but can't swear to it
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness after each meal
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- 45 minute lunch break
- Meditate at lunch
- Stay positive I wouldn't say positive but I did lose the VERY negative mood I started the day with which I think is an achievement
- 2+ of French book, article, podcast
- Finish work by 7pm 7.45. But the extra time was finishing my quarterly objectives in time for today's end of year review, to increase my chance of getting a bonus... So an investment for me!
- Gratitude journal Forgot completely
- Lights off by 11 Got home late and then had to draft a speech (non work) I've got roped into giving on Thursday, which took quite a while (particularly as had to call and argue with the boyfriend partway through). Then I needed to do something to switch off a bit so watched some TV and read a bit. Switched light off around 12.30.... (and then did not sleep for ages, so winding down didn't work apparently). Yes, I'm tired.
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- 3+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Monitor fullness after each meal
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- 45 minute lunch break
- Revise for French test
- 2+ of French book, article, podcast
- FINISH WORK AT 5PM
- Pack stuff for running
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11
Weekly calorie balance: 485 in red
Words for 2019: Mindful Moderation
How I practised Mindful Moderation yesterday: By not eating a second Bakewell tart? Actually, I did adjust my eating after the cookie/tart to have a slightly smaller dinner. So that was a good step. I also only took half a cookie originally, which was an attempt at moderation which was then undermined by me going back to get the second half.4 -

Good morning everybody! Keep climbing!
Merci! I have about two months, if you subtract my holiday in May. So actually plenty of time. But I have lots to do, and not actually that much free time in which to do it!
I made a plan on Monday though for what I'm doing to do each week from now until the exam. So now I just have to do it! (Hmm, that's the hard part. I've always been good at making revision plans... Less good at following them!)

Watching tv and sitting at home is not what I call enjoying my life, but it’s what hubby does. For me to do other things I’m leaving him all alone. It’s a balancing act. You did wonderful not snacking, I wouldn’t have been able to control that I don’t think!
I've been thinking about this and I think I was just too ambitious for the day and didn't really have a realistic plan.
My plan was 'revise as much French as possible'.
Kind of vague and non specific, and yet rather ambitious!
I think I would have been better to pick a few specific things, commit to revising those, and then get them done before I got in procrastination mode.
Maybe the same applies to you? You need to just pick a few achievable things to do in a day and then power through them?
My dad always used to say 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. By which he meant, something you've already done is worth twice as many things you plan to do but haven't done yet. I think there is lots of truth in this.3 -

You rent and have to buy carpets? That seems a little backwards to me.
@Snowflake1968, it can be even crazier than that. I was friendly with an old lady who lived alone. I called at her house one day and her 2 daughters were there as she had died. The housing officer had been to see them and told them the house had to be handed back in exactly the same condition as when she moved in. She insisted that all carpets, window blinds, curtain rails and curtains were removed.
So the new tenant would have to replace all the carpets at a time when money could be tight, and her carpets had to be thrown away.

We have to buy them ourselves! Expecting a windfall soon so just waitinnnng.
I was mistaken when i said they did our carpets, i was thinking of a different housing association, however our one gives us £250 voucher for our local DIY store for paint and brushes/rollers etc.
You rent and have to buy carpets? That seems a little backwards to me.
Yeah its just because its a house through the council.
I dont know why they dont carpet it but i dont mind, get to pick what i like3 -

March challenge - walk Walked into town
Didn't actually "go for a walk" but did walk into the pedestrianized town centre. Made the effort to dress nicely instead of just pulling on a fleece The item I wanted in the chemist was on the very bottom shelf, I bent really carefully but still hurt my back. So had to walk back to my car verrryyy slowly with my fist pushed into my back to ease it. Not exactly the look I was going for lol! Looking on the bright side, this particular pain eases after a few hours, so could be worse.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 188.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me).
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays!
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Dentist? Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
WFTY: Climbing. Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. Spring break isn't until week after next - I'm REALLY hoping I can be caught up with my lesson planning and grading by then so that it's ACTUALLY a break and not just using uncompensated time to get my work done. :P2 -

Pretty happy with my progress over the past couple of weeks. Scale finally is going in the right direction. I am really buckling down and doing it this time. Ever since I found out I have fatty liver, I'm determined to reverse it. The best way to do that is diet and exercise
Me too. Not on fatty liver, but I'm happy with my progress, too, over the past couple weeks. I, too, am buckling down & doing it this time. I'm not sure if diet & exercise can reverse my high cholesterol & high blood sugar, but I'm sure hoping so. Why, oh why, did I wait so long to really get serious when I knew how likely it would be to affect my health like this?! Regardless, I can't go back in time & undo the self-inflicted harm that I did, but I am trying to improve things, now. Just hope it's not too little, too late for me.
Yesterday, I did have some evil thoughts creep into my head on the way home from work whereby I pass at least 4 ice cream places, every known fast food restaurant, several Starbucks, my favorite restaurants, and the delicious smells walking from the building to my car... it's the first time that I had difficulty holding back since the blood results a couple weeks ago. I told myself, well if I get on medication then can stop & eat it. Lots of people do that--my parents, 2 of my brothers, etc. But, Yay Me! I held it together & somehow managed to overcome those bad thoughts.
We're gonna do this thing, @PackerFanInGB !!! Keep up the great work you are doing!!!!

@Elbee1 Don't let the day to day changes get you down. Honestly, I think I can change a few pounds between morning and night, or with a salty/water-retaining meal! Look at the big picture and the progress you are making that doesn't show on the scale.
JFT (3/19)
drink 80 oz. water ✅ -discovered one of my water bottles is 3 cups not 4 so I've been over calculating my water intake, whoops!
eat recommended servings of the 5 food groups ✅
stay between 1.2-1.4k calories ✅
exercise 30 minutes late day
go to bed between 9-10 ✅
track all food/exercise ✅
post on JFT ✅
Great job on meeting all your goals!!! Especially the going to bed between 9-10. I'm striving for midnight but haven't achieved it but maybe once in the last few weeks. I'll get there, tho, thanks to folks like you who inspire me.
And, yes, in the day to day ups & downs. I do know this in my head & it's why i don't mind the daily weigh ins to keep me motivated. But sometimes I will just complain. Lol. So, it is nice to have the extra reinsurance so I thank you so much for the reminder to know that this is just the way things work & not to get down if I have a bad reading some days.
Keep up the great work you are doing!1 -

Yesterday was good - stayed on track and made it to my daughter’s show. She was amazing - proud and emotional mummy!
