    Good morning everyone!

    I'm up early today. I actually got up at 5am. T and I went to the gym "together" this morning. As in, we went to our own gyms but went at the same time. Lol. But I did it and my arms are jelly at the moment. Right now I'm sitting in the laundromat waiting for my clothes to dry. I usually fold them here but I think I'm just gonna shove them in my bag and then fold them at home. It's really warm in here. Lol. I have a list of things that I want to do today. So those will be my goals. Now that I have so much time off and Matt goes back to work tomorrow there is a lot of things I want to get done. Lol.

    So here we go!

    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.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:

    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain

    Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I had a nice day Saturday with my husband. We went to one of the grands' birthday party and then went bumming at an antique mall. It was nice. But like always, the weekend went by too fast!

    I'm really struggling to pull myself out of this anxiety-filled dark hole I'm in...worrying about my parents, kids, my health, my job and everything else. I cannot control any of it, so I need to find some time to just go to a quiet place where I can sit and reflect, meditate and pray to try to find some peace. I cannot live with this much turmoil inside, trying to fix things that I have absolutely no control over. I need to keep faith that things will be okay. Things will work out the way they are supposed to, and I just need to sit back, let it unfold, and deal with one thing at a time.

    For my goals on here, I'm focusing right now on logging my food but not worrying about whether I stay in the green or not. I just need to get in the habit of logging food again. I need some routine in my life. The OCD in me is screaming at my lack of organization! :mrgreen:

    Just for Today (Monday):
    1. Journal every bite, good & bad
    2. WATER, 68+ oz
    3. Activity: Hit my FitBit steps goal
    4. Self-Care: Find 30 minutes of quiet time alone
    5. Think before I speak. Be kind even when I'm feeling impatient inside.


    I hope everyone is doing well. Hugs all around! :flowerforyou: xxoo

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 192.0

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for 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). 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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
    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. NOTE: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY.
    6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS. PCP - allergy shots?
    7. Theater: Mamma Mia. Next?
    8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Get bikes fixed.

    I took my parents out for the day to a wildlife park. They have an enclosure you can go into and be in with the ring tailed lemurs. The lemurs come right up to you and it was lovely to see them so close. You are not allowed to touch them but they can touch you.

    @Faebert - I hope you heal fast and quick and Dr. google is wrong.

    @HEGoddard0928 - you sound so happy today.

    @PackerFanInGB - I am concentrating on logging only this month too. Although I’m doing that I am still subconsciously thinking of my 1200 calorie limit.

    @nlmackey98 - I think shutting off last week was a brilliant decision! Sometimes we all need that. As for the struggle, join the club. It’s so hard to get back on track, I truly believe though that this group helps get me back faster than I would be on my own. One thing I did when I was feeling like you was I forced myself to get dressed and look nice even on the days I really didn’t want to. Love you, you’ve got this.

    @TerriRichardson112 - was love how neat and tidy your posts look. Great job on the one pound!

    @clicketykeys - I was thinking about you. Too bad you couldn’t ease into the school year.

    @ZizzyBumble - that sounds like a wonderful day, did your parents enjoy it?

    @Bex953172 - I didn’t graduate, but I don’t think I would go either. The friends I truly liked I’m still friends with.

    @cory17 - Hi!!!!!!

    I had a busy day at work and will have another busy day tomorrow. I am moving filing cabinets tomorrow so it will be active at least.

    I don’t know where the time is going. In one month it’s Jonah’s and my birthday. I feel I’ve just skated along and done nothing spectacular for my weight loss this whole past year. It was last August that the smoke made it so and I couldn’t walk and I’ve had only a few walks since.

    Didn’t eat the best today and still went to get a snack tonight. I didn’t have anything in the house I wanted so just had a few chunks of watermelon. Maybe that’s the secret don’t buy it to begin with and then I can’t have it.

    Have a great day tomorrow!

    - put away laundry ❎ still damp!
    - downstairs reorganisation/clearout ✅
    - make meal plan for parents’ anniversary lunch✅
    - online grocery shop❎

    I can not even pretend I'm able to catch up on everything at this point so it's just a fresh start! Hello! I have totally fallen off the wagon on vacation, gained almost 6 lbs in 10 days (basically two months worth of hard work down the drain) however, I know that I can lose it again and the experiences and food were worth it. The hardest part will be getting back to exercise, starting today.

    JFT 8/13:

    30 minutes exercise-easy does it
    Eat within calories
    Homecooked everything
    Lots of water, no alcohol

    Planning on taking it easy, catching up on laundry and work today, and easing my way back in. Not happy about the weight gain but I'm not going to let it derail me.

    Hope everyone is well, I'll try to catch up!

    @Snowflake1968 WOW! 3lbs down. Excellent!
    @nlmackey98 It’s good to get things out in the open. Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves. (Why do we beat ourselves up when we have a less that ‘perfect’ day?)
    I am training myself to start every day with a clean slate. No guilt, no recriminations. Just a new opportunity to be the best I can. Try it! Just for today! One day at a time.

    @Faebert Glad you are on the mend. You just aren't you if you can't exercise.

    @aubyshortcake You have been incredibly busy. Glad you are posting goals again.

    @vilenski193 Welcome!

    @maryrobinson40 "Each day is a chance for better" I truly needed this reminder. Thank you!

    @HEGoddard0928 So glad Matt is feeling better and able to return to work.

    @PackerFanInGB In times of chaos and turmoil it is hard not to try to take control of or take responsibility for the situation. Some of us are "Fixers" through and through, especially when our loved ones are involved. Unfortunately, we have no control of others, and no matter how much we try, we can't fix things. People always seem to tell me to "Give it to God", well when I'm angry and stressed I find that very difficult to do. In my heart I know He is there for me and that the battle is already won, but my mind is worldly and just can't figure out how He can let these bad things happen. Doubt and pain are tools of Satan, and he is skilled in their use. He will try to take God's comfort from you. He can cause you to question God's goodness or blame Him for letting the bad things happen. Listen to your heart and stay strong in the faith. Pray that God will but your mind to rest. Pray that He will comfort those in turmoil and that they will realize that He is there if only they ask Him into their lives. These burdens may be too big for you, but nothing is too big for God. I do not know God's plan, but I do not believe that the negative things in life are His desire. I do believe that He can bring good things from bad situations. My hope for you is that your faith stay strong through these many trials, and that you will recognize His presence and power through it all. May God bless you beyond measure. You are in my prayers.

    @Snowflake1968 Here is to getting back on track!

    Daily Choice

    The trials of each day
    We meet in our own way!
    It all depends on how
    we view the here and now.

    If beauty’s what we seek,
    our vision is unique,
    and beauty in each eye
    will, ultimately, spy.

    Thus, let us make that choice
    to raise a happy voice
    as we positively quest
    for good, or better, best!

    Just for Today (Monday):
    1. Journal every bite, good & bad :#
    2. WATER, 68+ oz :)
    3. Activity: Hit my FitBit steps goal :#
    4. Self-Care: Find 30 minutes of quiet time alone :)
    5. Think before I speak. Be kind even when I'm feeling impatient inside. :)

    Hi everyone. Did a lousy job yesterday, not because I made bad food choices, because I actually ate healthy, but I just forgot to go in and journal, and I didn't get my steps in because when I got home the neuropathy in my feet was acting up so I didn't take Maddie out like I planned. But it's all good. I'm not kicking myself for it. It's a new day and I will just try again for today! Baby steps to build back up to where I left off on here. :)

    I'm running home at noon to see if I can talk my husband into driving me to Indiana to see my stepdad and mom. I need to hug him and let him know how much he has meant to me. I think that would help me emotionally to get some sort of closure.

    Today, though, I am happy to have another day on this beautiful planet! I am grateful I have a great job. I am grateful for my health and ability to walk and see and hear. I am approaching today with an attitude of gratitude.

    Just for Today/Tuesday:
    1. Journal every single bite
    2. WATER: 68+ oz
    3. Activity: Hit my FitBit Goal steps
    4. Self-Care: Take 30 minutes (even just 15 minutes at a time) to rejuvenate and reflect
    5. Be kind and look for the positives in every situation
    6. Bedtime early: Gratitude journal, inspirational readings, Calm app and read.
    7. Set alarm and get up tomorrow without hitting snooze!!!!

    My 2019 WOY is Tenacity: Tenacity is the quality displayed by someone who just won't quit — who keeps trying until they reach their goal.

    @nlmackey98 i found it hard buying bigger clothes too, and when i did i was pretty miserable about it. But omg i found this dress and it fitted me amazingly and i felt and looked amazing!
    So i was very much suprised that i can still look good at this size!
    So dont let it get you down and stick to that brilliant plan!

    I stayed with my parents last night as we were back late and they were too tired to unload the mobility scooter. Slow start this morning while I showed my mum how to use her iPad to save and upload photos. She's not well (cancer) but had a lovely day yesterday and wanted to share photos with friends. We are now planning days out for Thursday and the weekend before I return to Skye. The days out mean more meals out than I usually do so I'm planning to be careful in between. At the moment, their enjoyment should be more important than counting the calories.

    My thoughts are with all of you who are dealing with family ill health; I appreciate we all have different experiences but it is hard to know the people we love are not well. My mum expects a "can do approach" and I do try but it can be hard.

    @nimackey98. I am pleased that you are feeling more positive today. I read your post yesterday and wanted to say something supportive but could not think of the right words so gave up (sorry). I was thinking that you know that you have your husband's support and that prehaps you were being too hard on yourself? Tomorrow is a new day, have faith in yourself and enjoy your family. You have a plan and you can do it.

    Same! I was going to reply to you @nlmackey98 because I know that feeling all too well but I do think we are too hard on ourselves, but then I went on to read more (I was catching up from last two days) and saw you were feeling better and was so happy to see it!
