    The first part of the weekend was very nice. Time with family and a great date with hubby. Yesterday was really rough for me, but it finished better than it started. That may not be saying much but it's something. Small victories. Even with all that went on I stayed reasonable with food and made it out to walk/hike one day which is way better than the past 2 weekends.

    JFT Monday
    - Get up and go to the gym :):/
    - Breakfast <300 cal :)
    - Drink 1L of water before soda :)
    - Go apply for a new passport. My old one is expired. People at work think I have an interview because I fixed my hair & makeup.
    - Start Lab trials
    - Lunch <300 cal
    - Leave by 4:00 so I can walk/hike before picking up the kiddo from theater practice
    - Pick up at 6:00
    - Finish up the laundry
    - Dinner with the family
    - Take youngest to tennis lessons, or maybe have oldest take her.
    - To bed by 10:30!!! I mean it, 10:30!

    Went to be a little late last night, 11:00, but didn't get to sleep until around 1:00 when hubby finally came to bed. That combined with DST made 3:30 come way too early. I gave myself another 30 min then another 15 min then FINALLY dragged myself out of bed and got ready to go to the gym. I wasn't feeling it, but usually once I get there and get started I'm good. No such luck today. I only made it about 10 min on the Precor/Arc Trainer thing and my asthma triggered. This almost never happens unless I'm running outside in the cold, I'm doing hill sprints or something really taxing. So I get off take a few to get my breathing and HR under control and start my leg workout. I'm still a tad shaky, but leg press was ok, hamstring curls are ok, leg extensions I start getting queasy, but I push through. Calves, so so. By the time I got to inner and outer thighs I was rough. I finished those and just couldn't do kick backs. I was dizzy and nauseous. I think I laid in the locker room for at least 10 minutes before I felt well enough to drive home. It sucked, the quality of my workout was poor and I didn't even get to core. It's possible it was blood sugar from the symptoms (shaky, queasy, dizzy), but I think I might just have been exhaustion. Either way when I got home I ate 2 Tagalong girl scout cookies and wiped out most of my calorie gain. If I'd slept and skipped the cookies I'd be in the same place. UGHHHHH!

    Anyway...

    @toaljasa It sounds like you had amazing time with your daughter. You make me tired just reading about all of the cooking (which means cleaning) you did. It's really great that you can send a little bit of love with her when she goes. My kids know I can cook like 3 or 4 meals (2 are family recipes I've taught them) but that I can bake anything. Luckily my hubby is a great cook. He is who will have to make their "to go" containers.

    @Faebert You inspire me almost daily and remind me of the women I used to be. The woman I hope to rediscover a better version of.

    Well I was planning on getting fully bank on track yesterday but really didn’t feel well. My stomach was really upset and I ended up even having a two hour nap.

    Today is a new day.

    I’m going to try to get caught up reading posts this morning.

    Every year from Halloween until New Years I seem to gain weight. It is a combination of seasonal depression/ missing loved ones (having lost 4 of my siblings who I was very close to), and just missing the big family get togethers. Upset with myself, but I feel uncontrollable in this ... this is one of my main goals to learn this new year.

    Year 2019

    January 1, 2019: 206
    Feb 1, 2019: 201.6

    March 4: 205 - joined WW for 3 months to kick start my weight loss.
    March 11: 201.4

    Non-scale related goals 2019:
    1. learn how to stop/control binge eating
    2. learn how to manage stress/emotional eating
    3. keep up a gratitude journal everyday
    4. consistently learn and be better at planning meals for the week .... make this a regular thing to do
    5. consistently continue with exercising 5x a week. Be more confident in how I look.
    6. make drinking water a daily habit ... not something I have to work at.
    7. Reach my goal weight .... then learn how to maintain it!! -- DO not gain weight at the end of the year!

    Weight goals 2019:
    Feb: 200 -- Almost made this goal!
    March: 195

    PackerfaninGB- what a great way to spend a day. I would love to have a day like that with my hubby. Hope your day goes well.

    Nlmackey98- Hugs

    Hegoddard0928 - happy belated to Matt.

    Mytime6630 - I feel from your posts that you are doing much better, it’s nice to see.

    Toaljasa - I actually laughed out loud at your daughter cheering the margaritas. Isn’t that the way? Sounds like you had a lovely visit.

    Faebert - that is cause for celebration. Good for you!

    Maryrobinson40- busy day!

    Hey everyone,
    Ive decided that im gonna give MFP a break.
    Not in posting here but the actual goals and stuff, ive just got so much on.

    The actual goals are kind of, you know, the point of posting here.

    Seriously, after the stunt you pulled in 2018? Youre pathetic, get over yourself.

    *you're

    I see that you still find the words "today" and "goals" confusing.

    I am having a hard time working full time, and finding the energy to take care of myself. Last week I traveled three days for work and got completely off track. This week I am travelling every day. I was sick all weekend with a migraine, so clearly my hydration is off. So I guess my word for the week is perseverance.

    Monday:
    1. weigh in
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. Track liquids, at least 8C water
    4. Go to gym--cardio/weight workout
    5. No social eating at work

    JFT< MOn
    1. log all food :) Both here and the WW site -- just trying to keep track of calories also.
    2. concentrate on water - jan challenge :) I am doing so much better at this ... seems though that the more water I drink the more I am thirsty! Does this make sense?
    3. feb challenge - 1 snack in evening :) My orange is all planned
    4. mar challenge - 15 minute walk outside :) Heading out now since I didn't get to the gym ... and the sun is out!!
    5. stick to meal planned :) Made a new recipe .. ground beef, tomatoes, zucchini, cottage cheese... hubby loved it!


    JFT, Tues
    1. get to the gym
    2. jan challenge =-8+ water
    3. feb challenge - one evening snack
    4. mar challenge - if not raining, go out for a walk
    5. mindful eating .... I am finding this much easier. I think eating more protein is helping me a lot!

    Prep veggies for the week.
    Prep for tomorrow, tonight
    Sew something. Anything. Make a potholder.
    Enjoy what is left of the day. Run to PetSmart for dog food and toys.
    Evening routine to include 1 self-care thing.

    Have a great day everyone! Today, I'm praying for patience, the ability to hold my tongue and more patience. :naughty:

    I see lots of smily faces!!! As for sewing, I always had a hard time making potholders! I could never get the edges to look right. But good for you ...sewing anything is so much fun!
