This is something I think helps anyone .. write down at least one positive thought each day.
Here is a reminder of previous challenges. I am still trying to incorporate each months challenge everyday ... building new, healthy habits.
January Challenge: Drink 8+ cups of water a day
February Challenge: Limit your nite time snacking to only 1 snack... then brush teeth, do something to stop at just that one snack
March Challenge: Go outside for a walk for a minimum of just 15 minutes. The fresh air is good for us, and for me, even 15 minutes of walking can help clear my head.
April Challenge:
Write down a positive thought each day

I'm new here but I started April similar to a new year. It was a new month and a Monday and time to get my life together. Yesterday I walked a mile around the pond at work and today I took my dog for a 25 minute walk. 19 more days then walking becomes a habit right?6

I wish I could find more time to comment individually to others but, at the moment, work and getting to sleep have to take precedence. I am amazed at how much some of you accomplish each day and the tenacity shown in the face of challenge. This is a hugely supportive group.
I wish I had more time to respond to each. But if we don't take care of ourselves, then we are no good for others. We understand.2 -

I started posting in this group of wonderful people last April and I owe a lot of my success and certainly my sanity to them. I had lost 25 pounds by December but now I’m up 3 or 4 pounds. I owe it to this group that that’s not up to a 30 pound gain!3 -

So why can't I find my goals again!!! Man, I am losing it!! LOL!! Well (I guess at 67 that happens!) I was sure I posted goals.
But today, and yesterday, I am struggling. This time I am having a harder time getting back on track, but at least I am excercising a lot with yard work, and trying! . But today, I ate well all day, but then we went to Longhorn for dinner. I again had my chicken breast and brocolli, and hubby told them not to bring the bread to the table. But tonite... I am into the mixed nuts again!! So I have to STOP IT!!! So, I am going to go and brush my teeth, and fill my glass up with water, and stay away from the nuts!
SO while I didn't set goals, here's what I accomplished
1. mindful eating All day great ... tonite, one handful of nuts, but mindfulness, and now I am going to stop that.
2. log my food Logging on WW site right now
3. jan challenge - 8+ water. Will meet that goal tonite (already had 6)
4. feb challenge -- one nitetime snack ... already had nuts, so no more
5. mar challenge -- 15 minutes outside. Raked leaves for 60 min
6. april challenge - one positive thing. The most positive thing today is you guys. Having this thread, with the most awesome online friends, is a huge positive in my life. Even though I joined WW for 3 months to jumpstart my weight loss, and get me out of the funk I was in, I will always continue coming on here because of all you guys! And once the 3 months are over.. I'll be back logging my food here.

My husband has been buying mixed nuts for a few months now. Holy crow are they ever easy to get carried away on! What I've been doing is opening the container right away, then measuring them into serving size Snack Baggies. (I think 1/4 cup equals 1 serving.) I account for that one baggie as my evening snack by prelogging it, and then I don't mindlessly eat too many but instead I eat them slower and more mindfully without feeling guilty about it. I figure they are healthier than chips and they give me the salty crunch I'm craving...
My positive thought today is... Today I got to take my dog for a walk outside and there were birds singing, squirrels and rabbits all over the place and a beautiful sky. Life is beautiful! :flowerforyou:2 -
Morning everyone! So much positivity on here which is great to see. I’m feeling pretty good and on track at the moment but I know there are peaks and troughs so I think the April challenge will be good for those tougher days.
Yesterday was pretty busy as I went to another school for training in the morning and then after work did a lot of prep for the work party I’m hosting here tomorrow night. Over 20k steps for the day which is pretty crazy considering the training session meant sitting still for 3 hours!
This morning is my long run - I still get anxious about this but i figure if I’m just consistent about run days and don’t question it too much then I can’t talk myself out of it! I think I am improving and definitely recover faster from the effort so I want to keep going. And bank some good exercise calories before tomorrow’s party 😜

Walk with friend Yes, reason back was painful
Plan evening meal, lots of veg Yes, veg included
JFT 3rd April
Eat sensibly
Do back exercises
Pay bills
Visit parents
Food shop
Ironing
Pluck up the courage to make doctors appointment
It might sound silly that I need to build up to phoning doctors. I rarely go and get really anxious when I have to, but I need help with this pain so must do it. Here in the UK our Health Service provides the doctors in local surgeries. I've been with my local surgery for many many years, but since last summer they have not been able to find doctors willing to work in my town. So a lot of us have been told that we can no longer go to the surgery, and will have to use a surgery in the next town instead, one with no available parking. So instead of going to a familiar place it will be a new experience. I need to pull my big girl pants on and get on with it!

Good morning, and welcome to all the new people, we are happy to have you here!
I did my workout yesterday but had to deload, I felt really weak for some reason. Oh well, I guess it happens.

Hey guys just quickly popping on as I head home for my car this lunchtime. Quick question- I did my usual long run this morning and actually even overshot - 10.4km in an hour. Fitness watch said I had fastest mile, fastest 5k and fastest 10k as well as longest ever run. But weirdly showed my heart rate as maxing at 145bpm. That’s compared to a max of 190 this time last week on a slightly easier run?! Not too bothered but it’s also allotted me just 400 odd calories for it compared to 580 last week. That can’t be right can it?? Do you think the heart rate monitor is off?!
Nice to think I’m suddenly magically much fitter in a week but a) I doubt it and b) I want those extra exercise calories!!
Ideas? X1 -

2. Catch up with emails; call mac store again.
3. Update JFT before leaving for Y by 8:00. BodyPump. Library - drop books off, pick up new one.

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!

6. Medical: Apr 25 Dentist. Apr 22 McC. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: 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. I do NOT feel like exercising today. I mean, I'm going to. I'm already dressed anyway, might as well go through with it. But weightlifting makes me ache, and running just makes me feel out of shape. I'm SO SLOW, y'all. I'm so slow that MFP won't let me log my runs as runs because anything below like 5.0 miles/hr counts as walking. And I feel like I'm not seeing any progress with speed. I've been struggling to keep it above 4 mph since, like, freaking JANUARY.
@mytime6630 - I mostly use the website for the boards, so I keep the page with my goals open as a tab. This is also helpful because it's my to-do list for the day, so I come back to it pretty regularly to make sure I haven't forgotten anything!
@Faebert - How long is your long run?3 -

Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.
I have got to get my head back in the game for weight loss! I am just lingering and half a**ing it! I have goals and I’m not meeting them.
Today I am going to go to our local library to meet with a group that helps with job searches. I’m not sure if they have anything new to offer or not, but it will sure be worth a try. I think I’ll walk there, it is where I go for my walks anyway, it won’t give me quite 5K, but it will be close.
Then I have to go get the kids for our Wednesday date.
I am working on bachelorette party invitations this morning now that Kaitlyn’s maid of honor has approved the design.

Harriscnc - They operates on both feet at the same time? What a struggle that would be. Good for you for doing something about the gain as soon as you can. This is a great group.
Mytime6630 - I love the April challenge and will participate, I love how Bex tried to spin it! 😂 on a serious note you may be struggling but you sound so much more positive and happy than you have the last few months. I’m so happy for you.
Johicks - look at all those checkmarks! You are doing it!
Zizzybumble - thanks for the encouragement, I hope so too. Don’t feel pressure to respond to everyone, just keep stopping in with your goals.
PackerfaninGB - that’s a smart way to handle the nuts. I just quit buying them. I need to find something smaller to munch on in the evenings though. I am eating for no reason.
Faebert - you sound like you have it all under control! You’ve been on a roll lately, keep it up! I want to come to one of your parties.congrats on your run, I can’t comment about the heart rate as I don’t use a tracker, but it sounds odd to me.
Littleblackskirt- my daughter suffers from anxiety when having to make phone calls. I get your hesitation. You need to do it, it’s for your health and you’ll be better off for it.
Clicketykeys - i am so with you, not feeling like doing anything. I am the same. We can do it.3 -
Recap T 4/2
1) Walked dog before work 3.51 mi 1:01:33 with light snow falling & stretched after = happy dog & happy me
2) Voted in spring election
