Good Morning! Blessed Morning!
Just dropped in to update you my loves... I miss you. I'm Ok. Not in top form because
I have allergies to all this pollen. I am taking things to help alleviate the symptoms.
I'm still mindful of my eating and haven't starved, nor binged. I'm still in "Goal Getting"
mode.
I hope everyone is hard at it and attacking those goals and winning.
Keep the energy up! Get proper rest when you can! Promise me you'll not beat
yourselves up when something doesn't go quite right. Get up! And Go At It!
One Day, One moment at a time!!! LADIES WE'VE GOT THIS!!

@johicks;
@asclepsia~ Good for you for getting in a 20+ walk/day. Are you in an area that you have some uphills you can walk? I’ve read that walking uphill a little increases the intensity. I try to walk uphill 1 or 2x/week. It hurts my knees, so can’t do it every day (YET!)
Yes, my walk area has hills, and I vary the route throughout the week, so I can choose a good hilly spot. Thanks for the advice.
Have fun!!0 -
@GarysGirl18~ Yes! This is a great group. Welcome.
@aubyshortcake~ Stay positive. Some days it’s really harder than others. You’re doing great.
@paige122012~ Bad day or not. You tracked and consumed only{/i] 500 over. When I have a bad day; I tend to not track]/i] and have no idea how bad I did. So tracking it all is a good step. It helps keep it real. And right attitude, you’re posting and not completely off. Yes you can!! To resist the b-day cake get in your mind to have a fruit snack. OR buy a protein bar that would be a treat. They made so many flavors now. I think they make a bday cake flavor- pure protein. I need to check into that- I have a wedding to go to this weekend. AND… get out a piece of clothing that motivates you to resist the junk. <<hugs>>
@maryrobinson40~ Love your attitude. Keep your chin up. HUGS HUGS HUGS

Today I pick up my pre surgery package from my doctor for my Full Knee replacement the end of April. I am so eager to get into a recovery mode so I can resume my normal and active lifestyle (tennis, hiking, gardening, basically anything outdoors). My fitness goal is to get in some exercise every day to stay as fit as possible so my recovery will be faster. Yesterday Aqua Fit, today Functional Body and Active Lifestyle class at 1:00. It sounds and IS an old persons class but it is SO good and is a great total body workout.
Yesterday I met my goal of staying in the green by 250 calories.
JST 4/9/19
This morning pre-track everything meals/snacks to be -250 calories
Go to the gym
Spend time outdoors sweeping leaves or re potting succulents
Set mouse traps in my kitchen before I go to bed.
No snacking or wine after dinner! This is the key to losing the weight I've put on the past 6 months.3 -

Write in Journal
Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices
I have been up since 630 this morning, and it’s taken me almost 2 hours to update. When I got up Rodg was watching the History Channel. Today is the anniversary of Vimy Ridge which was a defining battle for Canadians during World War 1. Normally I don’t pay any attention to these shows but this one is a rerun of a special that ran 2 years ago on the 100th anniversary. It is all about a certain grave in France that has 44 unknown Canadian soldiers buried in it. The grave hasn’t been located yet, the show isn’t over so I don’t know if they have found it. It has intrigued me because there are grandchildren, nieces, nephews that have raised funds and travelled to France to try to find their family members. Very moving show.
Yesterday I went and spent the afternoon with Jasmyne, I have missed her. We sat for most of the afternoon on her front porch sitting in the sun. Just a wonderful afternoon.
There is a town nearby that has a flight of stairs that are supposed to be a good workout. I’m thinking I’m going to try to do these stairs a couple times a week this summer and take note of my time doing them to see how I improve. I may see if a friend that lives in that town wants to join me.
Positive thought for the day- the sun is shining, it feels like Spring and I am feeling positive that I will be finding a job soon.

CSchmitz110515 - 63 years! How sweet is that?
HEGoddard0928 - glad Matt had a better day Sunday. Hope it continues. How nice to meet other writers.
Zizzybumble - happy MFP anniversary! It took a lot of dedication to reach your goal and stay on maintenance. I reached my 1 year in February and am still far away from my goal.
PackerfaninGB - I’m happy to hear you are getting your fence, that will ease your mind. Hope all your family issues resolve. Love your positive thought, it’s so true that we should remember to be grateful for what we have.
Mytime6630 - why is it men become so reclusive when they get older. I can’t get my husband out of the house either. I miss being out with him and I think he enjoys himself when he does go, but like you it’s pulling teeth.
Johicks - the cable guy may have enjoyed seeing you dance! 🙅♀️
Asclepsia - I am relatively short only 5’5”. I have it to lose a lb a week and that’s what MFP suggested. I do find it quite difficult. I was doing much better with it when I was working though, I think because I’m home I’m eating more.
Bookmeister86 - I hope you can set those boundaries and then stick to them.
Littleblackskirt - I hope that the pills don’t interact with your stomach once you get used to them and they relieve some of your pain.
Clicketykeys- I hope you find a group of teachers. Finding people going through the same thing helps a lot l believe. I for one believe you are an amazing teacher. You sure put your heart into it and I think that is key.
Maryrobinson40- you are beautiful!
Layfayetteanna - a lady on another group I participate in just had knee replacement surgery. She followed all instructions and exercises and in just 6 weeks was fully healed. Oh mice! I feel your pain. We live in a trailer and every fall have an issue. I have found a spray that we can spray on the outside and it has helped for sure.4 -
My goals for the day are to:
Track my calories and stay under 1200
Run 1.5 miles
Do CrossFit
Drink more water
I also need to buy a new scale. Today it gave me two completely different readings within five minutes of each other

- Work by 8:00 7:45
- Don't skip breakfastprotein bar, but left my fruit on the counter at home
- Drink at least 1L of H2O before having soda
- LOG EVERYTHING I EAT!Gave up when I fell off the rails.
- Be productive at work - I have a lot to do... I honestly shopped online most of yesterday. Bought some rain boots, an office chair, some artwork for the kitchen, curtains for downstairs, and picked out but didn't buy new artwork for the dining room. I have a picture I love in there, but it just doesn't go.
- Set up hair appt for youngest for her semi-formalCheck-a-roo
- Order another set of curtains from Wayfair. I was one set short.Check
- Order flowers for V's last night of the show. Black roses for the "black fairy" my mischievous misfit, and pink Gerber daisies because they are her favorite.$40 for 3 black roses and 3 bright pink Gerber daisies... worth it.
- Lunch under 400 cal Salad with grilled chicken
- Work until at least 4:00, but leave by 5:305:00
- Parent meeting for crew at 6:00 and managed to not volunteer for anything
- Cook dinner, time permitting - chaos, picked up food for youngest at Subway before heading to the crew meet. Had oldest pick up dinner for herself. Met husband at the mall after I dropped V at tennis and after his meeting was over.
- Stay within calorie goal.Not even close.
- Lay out clothes for an early gym date. I think I need a workout partner for accountability.Didn't bother. Basketball game went too late.
- To bed by 10:30. Nope.
Yesterday was an epic fail food wise. I was good all day, eating but not overeating. Then I picked up a rice krispie treat and a bag of chips on the way to the parents meeting. Then I had some other junk in the 10 minutes I was home to get the kiddo. The I had 2 big slices of pepperoni pizza for dinner. Then I drank beer while watching the championship basketball game last night. Then I fell asleep on the couch deciding I would not even bother to set clothes out for the gym. Yeah, that did not go well.
Funny thing is, I would tell myself that I didn't need a snack and that it wouldn't help me meet my goal, yet at the same time, literally within seconds, I was doing what I knew was wrong. I told myself I'd just start tomorrow. I hate that. If you decide you are going to start something, start it. Why would I wait to do something good for myself when I could start now. One giant excuse to eat poorly one more day. What keeps me from making the same excuse today?
Right now, I feel pretty good about things. I'm busy and being productive (unlike yesterday). Honestly, I haven't even though about this evening. Hubby is out of town on business, but I think both girls will be home by 7:00 so I should be able to cook something. This of course is assuming I remember how to cook, hubby does most of the cooking. We haven't had pork in a while. Pork chops thin cut, homemade applesauce and spinach salad can work. I'm really not sure when hubby is getting home.
JFT Tuesday
- Work by 8:00 I honestly don't know what time I got here.
- Breakfast, fruit and protein bar. Just had fruit, got busy and just didn't want to eat.
- 1L of H2O before soda. close, but not quite.
- Get RV project and VDA project off the ground.
- Perform method/calibration audits for SCD & MPW

- Set up appointment for nails for V and her friends for 5/17/19 night before semi-formal.
- Leave work by 5:00
- Grocery after work for dinner goods
- Clean floors
- 2 loads of laundry + wash Sierra's uniform for this weekend's regatta
- Try to write in my journal. I've only done it once since I got it. I had a lot to say that day, but it was very emotionally taxing. Kind of makes me not want to go back there.
- No alcohol
- Set out clothes for the gym
- Bed by 10:30
- Don't beat myself up.
Positive thought: It isn't Monday, and I have more spirit today.1 -
Ah man my stomach is not what it used to be!
Caseys over ate, znd as a baby her only way is just to vom.
So i was giving sask a shower, ash runs up "Take her shes been sick everywhere!" (She had pooped too)
So sask gets out (so glad she can dry and dress herself) i bathe casey. Get her all clean and in pyjamas put her into bed.
She was quietly lay down i thought great, shes gonna be asleep soon.
5 mins later i hear a wretch, Marley starts shouting Casey sick!
I run upstairs and the first thing i do is yank out her blanket LOL @PackerFanInGB ! (Dont worry i got to it just in time.. will need to know what i can wash it on for the future though lol!)
And i used to be able to deal with this, sick, poo, anything! but then i was wretching! I guess 5 years later i just cant hack it no more!
Ash has told me that shes been sick in all her highchair too. I just checked.. its poo. Theres a poo in there.
POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Ill be in the green because my appetite is no more. 👍7 -

Okay! Onto goals!
JFT 4-8-19
1. Log all my food(guesstimate dinner)I logged it all but was over by 500. They didnt have the beer that I usually buy so instead of doing the smart thing and just not getting it I got one that was almost 2x the calories. Plus I was so hungry after the gym and not eating most of the day I binged.
2. Have a good time with DDefinitely did.
3. Get some writing done tonight(I've been slacking)I just couldnt manage it
4. Call the doctor!See below
5. Go to the gym for a while!Was there for more then an hour. 45min cardio and then some weight machines
6. Upload that document for benefits!!!I have until the 15th but I REALLY REALLY NEED TO GET THIS DONE!!!
7. Figure out dinner for MattHe wasn't hungry when he got home.
@Bex953172 Oh no! Bex I'm so sorry! I hope Casey is feeling better now! And that she can sleep through the night!
So we got back from the doctor I little while ago. He thinks that it's probably diverticulitis so he put him on a course of meds. He said that if Matt isn't feeling loads better by Thursday to give him a call. I'm not sure that the doctor realized Thursday is the day after tomorrow but I'll do what he said anyway. Lol. This doctor is amazing! We simply adore him. They have a pretty busy practice but he remembers us and always asks after us if one of us isn't there. So hopefully, fingers crossed, this will be the end of it!
Positive thought from yesterday-I did some good work at the gym! When I stepped on the scale this morning I was down 3.6lbs from the last time I stepped on a week or two ago.
Not sure what I am going to do for the rest of the night. I know that I have to put my headphones on and write something! I need to work on my story! It's driving me crazy that I just stare at the screen and nothing comes! The cursor is mocking me! I know it!
Okay, enough dramatics! Onto goals
JFT, 4-9-19
1. Log all my food

3. Work on my story!

JFT Tuesday April 9
Get in steps-over 13,000 today
Log accurately--every bite
Productive at work--very much so
Clean out Fridge--done
Trash to Curb--done
Council--done
After council dropped some stuff off for a work colleague who is having surgery--walker, portable toilet, shower chair, I had all of the stuff from my hip surgeries and kept it--she's the second person I have lent the stuff too. Glad it isn't me needing it this time.
I am really enjoying my morning treadmill time. I'm not a gym person so walking and light weights is home is my main exercise (throw the bike in there sometimes too). I just have more energy for the day when I start off moving and by hitting most of my 10,000 goal before I get home (walk for 30 minutes of my hour lunch on days when I can), I actually feel like doing stuff around the house and not turn into a couch zombie.
Nice to see so many people setting goals and not afraid to admit if they don't make some some days but they pick themselves back up and keep on trying,
JFT Wednesday, April 10

9. april challege - list one positive thing Tonite my daughter came out, and I could tell she had been crying. I asked her, and she just said no. I had errands to run, and went downstairs to tell hubby I was leaving ... when I came back up, she was again wiping her eyes. Breaks my heart... because I do not know what to do to help her. She did not want to go with me on my errands ... since I had 3 places to stop at. So I did my errands, but while in Walmart, bought her a couple of magazines, and on the way home, got her a starbucks. When I gave them to her, it was like I gave her a million dollars. Sometimes ... just knowing that others love you and care for you is all we can do.

@Elbee1 Thank you for your concern 😊 yes, Rukia is one of our dogs. She is a 9 year old Siberian Husky. A while ago she was put on meds for incontinence because she seemed to leak every night when she was sleeping. after a while she didn't seem to need them anymore for several months, but I've noticed she started leaking again so I started her up on them again and got her urine tested, and turns out she also has a UTI. So now she is getting the incontinence meds in the mornings and an antibiotic twice a day until that clears up. The vet thinks she might possibly have bladder stones as well, I'm hoping not! Now that she's getting older, I think we may need to look into pet insurance.
Positive thought for today: even though it was really hard, I plowed through a ton of stuff at work yesterday. Here's to another super productive day!
Aww, poor baby! I bet she is a beautiful dog. I hope that she is well real soon & that she does NOT have bladder stones. Good thing you got her urine tested.
My Addison's baby, Nova, is a Catahoula Leopard Dog and she'll be 12 years old in a couple months. It's sad watching her age...
Good job at work! Stay positive!!!

4/9/19 Tues.
Weight: 152.8 lbs. Dang!
It's so weird that the weight is NOT falling off. I am eating soo much less and my complete eating habits have changed since the first week of March. I'm only down about 6 pounds... I was eating at least 4 meals per day. Fast food or restaurant meals often 3-4 times a day. Milkshakes, ice cream, donuts, huge meals. I have made drastic changes and eating tons less than I was... Oh well... I will stay the path.

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). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
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). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
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! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.
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: 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.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. May 4 is SW Day and FCB Day.
WFTY: Climbing. I'm upset and stressed and I do NOT want to go to school. Not that staying home would be any better. I'm stressing about state exams next month even though I mostly have classes that don't take them (they take them alternating years, and I have one of the 'off' years for most of my classes) and so it won't affect my scores. But the idea that teacher ratings are tied to student performance on a single standardized exam is absolutely disgusting. I am upset and frustrated entirely on principle. It's just so awful.
Positive thought: It could be worse. Sorry, that's the best I've got right now.2 -
@lafayettenana~ kudos on getting in your fitness despite your knee and having that attitude of preparing for recovery. Yeah in the green!
@azulvioleta6~ look at those smiles, focus on those as you keep working on turning those frowns upside down. 6:21 is good zzzz if you only get 5 usu. Hope tonight it’s 6:45.
@snowflake1968~ I see smiles!! A nice afternoon indeed and keep those positive vibes, it will radiate from you when you interview. And haha… cable guy was too young to enjoy my weirdness.
@HannahJWorden ~ How did your Tuesday go?
@cschmitz110515 ~ Look at all those smiles. Night time habits are the hardest to change for me, too. Getting some of the wintery weather, too. Ugh!! In Michigan.
@nlmackey98~ I so get it the struggle. First of all you are here!! I hid under a rock thinking no one would see me. Ha! I avoided the scales and mirrors, too. I was stuck in the mode of “no, but reached and ate it anyway; then went into over indulge mode.” And you don’t want to even know for how long I was in that mode. What mentally triggers us to be that way? No idea. But then one day it turned off, I had to fight it. And I’m finding that same voice of talking myself out of eating it is replacing that voice that said.. Just re-start tomorrow. So… my take on that for me was my self-talk. Three things I did was (and it started the ball rolling for me):
Found a fun reward for me for having one week of logging…. NO MATTER WHAT!! That habit needed to start to be accountable. And truly face the facts.
Started morning affirmations that help me throughout the day by reading them again, or seeing the photo affirmations in my head when I need that positive reminder.
I am a planner, so I was able to plan my food and pre-log; then pack my lunch bag in the morning based on what I planned. Then if I changed or tweaked it was easier to log.
Would a protein shake help for breakfast? Drink it on the way to work?
<<hugs>> Remember you need your oxygen mask before you can help others.
@Bex953172~ poor baby. Hope lil feels better soon. Have a god Wednesday.
@HEGoddard0928~ Good gym workout. Even though you were over, you logged it.
@ZizzyBumble~ SMILES everywhere!! Kudos!
@ginnytez~ I agree my morning at home workouts really starts the day out right. Then I don’t have to worry about fitting it in later, too. Looks like you had a really good Tuesday! Kudos!
@mytime6630 ~ smiles, smiles! Hugs to you for your daughter.
@bookmeister86~ you got all those smiles, too. Avoided binging, that’s huge!! Doing good.
@Elbee1~ Chin up. Keep logging. And it will drop off. Do you do any resistance exercises with weights? Toning? They say muscle burns fat. Just a thought. Or moments of High Intensity in your workout.
Look forward to catching up with all of you later, tonight.

Good morning!
@Elbee1 you are so right, watching them age is very hard! Do you have a picture of Nova? I would love to see 😊
@Bex953172 that is true, you definitely never know! Our other dog Kya (4 year old pit bull) had to have emergency surgery a couple of years ago because she ate a bunch of socks and underwear!
There's a pic of Rukia on the beach 😊
