    JFT 9/4

    Drink water
    Stay within calories
    healthy choices
    Yoga/strength training


    Kids first day back today and so back to getting up super early. Having mixed emotions! Lunch with a dear friend today-sushi- and going to get my exercise in early today and then try to catch up around the house, it's a bit of a disaster. Work has slowed a bit so looking to do some marketing and some self care too.

    Hope all have a great day!

    Hi everyone! Even while I was MIA on vacation (really, just 10-day stretch when I was not at work ~ yippee), I was thinking of you. <3 Caught up on 155 JFT posts yesterday. @PackerFanInGB My deepest sympathy on the loss of your stepfather. Hugs to all! <3

    I had thought of logging some days during vacation, but just didn't. Also didn't eat on a regular schedule, or limit myself when out and about, or even at home on evenings when hubby was at work. So the scale number is still climbing... not the result I'm aiming for. :p

    @Bex953172 I would like to participate in the Lose 5# Challenge round 2. Maybe that will help me get back on track. My starting weight was 169# this morning ~ yikes!

    Since I'm out of habits badly, I am beginning JFT gently this week. ;)

    JFT W 9/4 ~ Happy Hump Day!
    1) Log all snacks & meals / 14c water
    2) FLOSS / retainers / bed & tv off 10:20

    JFT Tuesday
    - Up at 4:20, gym by 5:30, try not to cry, try not to die by 6:30 :)
    - Protein bar :( Think I forgot with everything else
    - Home, weigh, shower, work by 8:30 :)
    - Set up testing to come out by 12:00p :)
    - Leave work at 9:00, pick up kid at 9:20, orthodontist 9:45, Subway for kid, back to school, back to work :)
    - Cancel bank card and order a new one. :)
    - Lunch (salmon with salad) :) yum
    - Run samples :)
    - Fool with XRay :)
    - Work Late, 6:00 or 6:30 :( I just couldn't do it...
    - Maybe go for a walk :( It was only a maybe and I was dog tired
    - No alcohol :)
    - Bible Reading :)
    - Bed by 10:00am :)

    Discard 5lb challenge Round 2.
    SW: 147.2
    CW: 145.6 (either yesterday was a false high or today is a false low. Not likely that I dropped 1.6lb in a day.)
    GW: 142

    My mom has been not talking to via test. Well actually I get one word answers. I know she is angry about something. I just don't feel like asking what it is. Then last night hubby gets all pissy that I'm not more physical (TMI?). I've tried to explain that the extra weight makes me feel way less than appealing. He doesn't get it. He thinks if he finds me sexy that that should be enough. Sigh... He is a great guy and I swear this is the only thing we ever argue about, but it's driving me buggy. Maybe I should just pencil him in at regular intervals and see if he notices the insincerity. These two things/people want to make me scream. Instead I'll try not to eat my feelings and just plan things around them.

    Anyway, I didn't work out this morning as I wanted to sleep in until 6:00, and I was a bit sore from CF yesterday. My hamstrings and inner thighs are a good sore, my elbow is a bad sore. I plan to go back tomorrow. If I just keep going back, I'm bound to see improvements. I doubt I'll ever be one of the bronze, tone, beautiful women, but maybe I can get to where my belly doesn't move independent from the rest of my body.

    Church tonight. It's the first night of the AWANA kids program that runs throughout the school year. We are kind of in charge of it again this year, by default. That's okay, we have lots of practice. The only bad side is I didn't know until late and so the supplies won't be in for club tonight. Oh well, we do have cupcakes and ice cream.

    Late to the game, JFT Wednesday
    - Up at 6:00 :( More like 7:00
    - Protein bar for breakfast :( maybe lunch
    - Setup samples :)
    - Go to lawyer about my dad's estate :)
    - Work stuff
    - Pick up V by 5:30 and feed her
    - Church by 6:30
    - Play with the kids
    - Home
    - Laundry
    - No alcohol
    - No ice cream (hubby made vanilla with blueberries)
    - Bible Reading
    - Bed/couch by 10:30

    Positive thought: You are the only one who controls your actions. You can create a safe place for yourself.

    I have a funny little story to share.
    My Granddaughter’s name is Michaela but I am the only one to call her that everyone else calls her Micki, she is 3 and is starting preschool 2 mornings a week starting tomorrow. Tonight my daughter and son in law had to go to a parent only meeting to sign documents and get a rundown of expectations. I kept the kids while they went to the meeting. My daughter, Lauryn, comes back and tells me about the meeting.

    Lauryn is telling me that for all of her artwork and stuff she will be writing Michaela not Micki. Lauryn feels it’s important that she know how to spell her name properly and this is a good time to learn.

    Michaela is listening to the conversation and out of the blue pipes up and says “my name Micki but not Mickey Mouse”.

    Ok day yesterday. I managed to avoid bingeing and drinking wine, but I did have more gin than I planned to. Again, I'm going to not beat myself up about it. Little steps at a time - I'm focusing on cracking the junk food and wine first, then the gin can follow! I do want to stay within my overall guidelines this week though so will aim not to have one today. I may have a nice bubble bath instead.


    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - Stick to food plan :/Had one extra yoghurt and some G&T
    - Be in the green :|Very slightly over. But I'd been hoping to have a deficit given I ran in the morning
    - 5+ bottles water :)
    - Run to work :)

    - No eating whilst standing :)
    - Savour every bite :|
    - Talk back to sabotaging thoughts :|
    - Give myself credit! :|
    - Stay positive :)

    - 1h lunch break :/45 mins and didn't really use it well
    - Finish work at 6.30pm latest :)
    - Read stuff for job interview :/Nope, as didn't get it done at lunch and after work I just want to flop
    - Do finances :)
    - Gratitude journal :)
    - Lights off by 11 :/Think it was a bit later, maybe quarter past. Very tired today


    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - 4+ bottles water
    - No alcohol

    - No eating whilst standing
    - Savour every bite

    - 1h lunch break
    - Finish work by 6pm, ideally earlier
