    JFT Tuesday

    - Get up at 3:30 to go to the gym so I can get home in time to do things before work. :)Got up at 4:00. I'm calling that close enough. Upped my cardio a little today. It triggered my asthma, but it was a quick recovery so I was able to do a little core work.
    - Make bed and tidy up so that contractors can work on the new floors. :)
    - Take dogs to doggie day care - :)
    - Get to work by 8:00 - :|8:08, but close enough. Man I love flex time!
    - Drink 1L of water before having a soda - :)
    - Have protein bar and fruit for breakfast - :/Kind of skipped this. This morning was a blur
    - Stay away from the vending machine today. :) I did it, but it was a definite struggle
    - Begin evaluation of 1st quarter data for Global Lab Unification project. :) Just have to get China on board now.
    - Sort out responsibilities for Global LOD's. :neutral:This is still a mess. I am to take ownership but others feel their efforts are being ignored. I could honestly not care less.
    - Begin writing a method for new testing. :smiley:Completed in record time
    - Leave at lunch to talk to the contractor about schedule and materials for stairs :smile: Done. I hate having work done on the house, but I love it when its complete.
    - Lunch under 300cal :)I barely even ate lunch yesterday
    - leave work by 5:00 (if I sneak out at 4:00 I can get a walk in) :)Left work at 4:30, but household emergency prevented the walk.
    - Pick up dogs. :)
    - Drop off kid at play practice. They find out what parts they got today. I'm excited for her and a little nervous she'll be disappointed. :)She got one of the two parts she wanted.
    - Chicken tacos for dinner :)Skipped the tortilla and went with a salad.
    - No dessert! I have a weigh in Thursday I gotta be good. If I gain I have to pay into the pot.:) I was good. Think I was too tired to snack
    - Laundry :( Laundry room floor was being replaced
    - Bed by 10:00. 4:00AM comes awfully early when I get to bed late. :)I was in bed at 10:00 asleep by 11:00 then awakened by snores at 12:00. Broken sleep is better than no sleep.

    JFT Wednesday
    -Up at 3:30 (okay 1 snooze 3:39) to go to the gym. Its the only way everything fits. :) Holy hell it's early/late. I know I've come home from bars later than this, not I'm waking up this early to work out. Go figure.
    - Shower and tidy up a bit. :)
    - Dogs to daycare me to work by 8:00. :)/:( I got the dogs there and I was on schedule to make it to work, but realized I forgot my meds this morning and had to go back. Its not that big a deal I live 5 minutes from work. In ~8:10
    - 1L Water before soda. :)I had three bottles of water before 7:00
    - Breakfast protein bar and fruit. :)Not skipping it like I did yesterday.
    - Random work stuff
    - Lunch under 300 cal
    - No junk food
    - No high sodium foods. I weigh in tomorrow
    - Cut out early to go walk
    - Church/Youth Group at 6:30. I think my girl will be out of the hospital and at church tonight.
    - Eat dinner within cal goal
    - In bed by 10:00

    I am so tired, or perhaps weary is a better term. Mind, body and spirit could us a pick me up. If I get to walk (or a nap) that will help.

    Y'all have a fab day and make yourselves proud. Do at least 1 nice thing for yourself today.

    Walk 1 Mile
    5 Fruits and Veggies
    Only 1 evening Snack
    5 something at bathroom break
    Write in Journal
    Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.

    Can’t believe it is Wednesday again already. I haven’t done anything productive in my own house at all.

    I have a couple of projects I want to do and I haven’t looked at the job boards yet this week. I really hate the job search process. It’s how I stayed in jobs for so many years even when I was unhappy.

    I think I need to go get the kids today to bring out for supper. It will be nice when all of the vehicles are working again.

    Bookmeister86 - it was nice to see you leave work early, that was huge for you.

    Awhit482 - hope your successful standing up to the know it alls.

    Clicketykeys- have a great time on your cruise! I would love to go on a cruise to Alaska. I didn’t talk to Mom after the cookies, but they do look good.

    Aubyshortcake - you’re doing great

    Nlmackey98- it’s no surprise you’re weary and tired, I couldn’t survive on your sleep schedule for even 1 day!

    Elbee1 - good for no gain, I feel I won’t be saying the same today.

    Well yesterday was just a total disaster. It was the first day since starting I’ve felt like I can’t do this, what’s the point and like throwing the last 3 weeks away.
    I didn’t go to the gym, I got in bed at 7:30 and fell asleep shortly after.
    I didn’t have any tea last night. I was in such a crappy mood that I felt I wouldn’t stop eating if I started. So decided it was best to not have anything.
    I just feel totally fed up at the minute.

    JFT – Tuesday
    Have a better day than yesterday

    Tuesday didn't really turn out any better, I ended up having a bit of a binge last night and then didn't weigh in this morning because of it.
    Need to have a bit of a re-focus.
    I normally come on here first thing as soon as I get in work and update all of the challenges and accountability threads I’m on but I just couldn’t this morning because I was a bit ashamed of admitting it. I even thought about lying about a maintain. I’ve just logged on now and had a read of some posts and I’m feeling a bit better and glad I didn’t make up a result.
    I’ve not had bad day so far. Foods haven’t been ‘healthy healthy’ but should be under my calorie allowance for the day.
    My JFT for Wednesday was to log on to MFP and the forums.

    Love, we have all been there. It's the beauty of this thread, today is a new day, yesterday is gone. For today do the best you can do. Sometimes our best isn't what we hoped for, but trust me it is enough. Take care mentally and physically.

    Thank you @nlmackey98 <3

    Yesterday way good!
    I had to give in for a piece of bread and butter last night, i think going from carb full days to nothing was a bit of a shock to the system! But just the one piece did me good.
    @mytime6630
    We didnt actually have a cake for her yesterday, my MIL made one last tuesday and we had it then. We didnt buy her another though, but she had treats for the day and i took her to the park, and i put a scoop of hot chocolate in her last milk lol!

    So far today ive been carb free!
    Keep getting really hungry though!

    Hi JFTers! I have returned from MIA status. Past two weeks have been crazy busy, with deadlines at work and for my professional assoc. (I hold several volunteer positions), plus personal stuff, plus we lost WiFi over the weekend at home. One service call, a new modem & WiFi again, so last night I caught up with all (7 pages!) of the posts I missed. I planned to post after, but Kitty claimed my lap and literally head-butted my device out of my hand. By coincidence (or not) it was just past my normal "unplug" time, so I had Kitty time instead, and dog dozed nearby on couch. No time now to respond to individuals on JFT, just know that I hold you all in my heart <3 and my prayers o:) every day.

    Had my annual physical yesterday, and doctor was very pleased. She was pleased with my labs, noted that I have lost weight since starting to see her late-2015, and I have kept weight off... I was 193# nekkid ;) back then and for the past year keeping my weight 1-5-something. Still slightly in "overweight" category and not where I want to be ideally (my goal is 150# for my 5'4.5" height), but I'm not fretting, I am fit and I am eating for my lifestyle. My BP was 112/80 (yay) and resting HR 56, so that matches with my Fitbit (not that I monitor HR at all). She knows I walk (for exercise), and asked if I was doing any strength training. Thanks to icy, snowy winter in WI, yes, I x-train. I will need to keep doing that even when the snow and ice finally melts and I am able to walk dog 3-4 miles. Doctor and I both happy. :mrgreen:

    @Bex953172 it sounds like you're doing great, I bet that is a bit of a shock to the system so it sounds like you found a more gradual method that will work

    @Snowflake1968 thank you! The job hunt is never fun but I wish you the best of luck in finding somewhere that you are happy, in my opinion it is never worth it to stay in a job that makes you miserable, you deserve better!

    6. Dinner/Dishes! :)I am LOVING my new drain stopper! It is making doing the dishes soo much easier! We had a pretty healthy dinner too that kept me pretty full.
    7. DH time :)Hung out and watched some hockey. I also did some stuff on my phone while Matt played video games with a friend of ours.
    8. Early to bed(most likely) :(Nope. This was actually the latest I've gone to bed in a while. I don't think I turned the light off before 12 am.

    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). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

    Age 61, 5'4.5"
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 145 - 150 [Need to be realistic! Revised from 140 - 145]

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.

    Keep getting really hungry though!

    When I was training my diet was carb free and high protein. One of my favorite healthy snacks was. Mix 2T Peanut butter + a handful of sunflower kernels, salted and about 1/2t of cinimmon together and use it as a dip for celery or carrots (I know carrots are higher in carbs than other veggies, but I still ate them). I prefer apples with it now that I eat more carbs. It tastes good and it quite filling

    Those numbers are statistically the same. No loss no gain, just a nice steady month or two. Now you have a new resolve you can work on a nice negative trend. Take care and don't fret. I weighed 136.8 at home this morning. 138.5 before I worked out at the gym (bottle of water in the car) and 140.6 after I worked out (another bottle of water). That's what just a little water weight can do and why weight fluctuations shouldn't cause you to stress.

    I say that today, but tomorrow I weigh in (7:00 AM ish) for a work challenge. I'll control my fluctuation. Worked out this morning. High water throughput to wash out sodium. Low sodium dinner tonight. Don't drink or eat before I weigh in and wear a t-shirt rather than a heavy sweater... It is just how I do it. I do it every Wednesday/Thursday to decrease the bias. Then I'm having Chinese for lunch after I weigh because I have a whole week to ditch the sodium/water weight gain.

    Since you'd be "settling" if you had the potato, you might as well "settle" for something more on plan. You'll feel better in the long run.

    That was my question - what's behind the new no carb routine? I think I must have missed where you talked about that - is there a particular reason for it?

    If you have calories left for potato and only have potato or other carbs, I'd eat the potato. At the end of the day it's calories that impact whether you lose weight or not. Cutting down on carbs can help to eat fewer calories (because they generally contain more carbs, can impact your blood sugar, and fullness can wear off quicker), but really a calorie is a calorie. And if it's 8.30pm and the alternative is going to bed hungry, I'd say eat the damn potato if you can do so and be in the green!

    Plus, potatoes are awesome. They are my third favourite food in the whole world. (The top two are cheese and ice cream, FYI).
