    JFT Monday

    Drink lots of water
    Healthy choices
    stay within calories
    60 minutes exercise
    journal


    Busy morning but can get to the gym after so no excuses! I am still store from my run Saturday which is weird bc it wasn't that great of a run. Hoping to get some yoga in today but not sure the class times will fit for me. Also, have my period and that always makes me tired and grumpy and today is no execption. Scale is not my friend during my period, for sure. It was inching down with all of my hard work but of course just shot right back up with bloating and cravings.

    Hope all have a decent day-Goal-survival mode and try to find some peace in there somewhere.

    Good morning Peeps! Is there a prize for the first one to GAIN 5 lbs? I seem to be doing the Discard 5 lbs challenge backwards. UGH. Today is going to be Move It Monday! I need to get my butt in gear!

    I got an Apple watch this weekend and cannot figure out how to use the darn thing, so I am kind of mad at myself and missing my FitBit now. I cannot tell my activity from all the other crap on this thing!

    Just for Monday
    1. Journal every bite and every sip
    2. MOVE IT!
    3. Turn negatives to positives and keep that smile on my face
    4. Finish 3 tasks at work
    5. Pay bills
    6. Take Maddie for walk tonight if weather is okay
    7. Evening routine
    8. Bedtime routine

    Have a beautiful brand new day everyone! :heart:

    For the most part, the weekend wasn't bad. Ok, well I didn't eat the greatest and I didn't exercise, but life was good. I cleaned and organized the boat house Saturday then took a nap and did some laundry. Sunday I missed morning church, met my family and my mom for lunch to celebrate my mom's birthday. Then went and got my nails done with the girls. Mani/pedi for 3 people are EXPENSIVE, but everyone was happy with what they got. Lunch with mom went better than I thought it would as she has been a bit of a b!tch lately. Well I thought it was good until I got home and saw a text she had sent me a few days ago, "You do remember that Sunday is not my birth date right? It's kind of sad that there'll be no celebration of my birth." I am so glad I didn't see this before. I think my lack of response was better than the alternative where I'd either apologize even when I know I shouldn't, or I'd say something to make her more b!tchy. Now I'm just angry. Who the hell gets mad over having their birthday celebration a few days early or late? The woman is 66 years old, not 5. Heck even when my kids were 5 we'd celebrate on a weekend so family could be there. I know I sound angry, and I am, but more than that I'm heartbroken. How can someone be so bitter and unhappy that they want to make those they are supposed to love unhappy. I guess I need to put the anger and hurt aside and pray for her, but it's really hard.

    JFT Monday
    - Up at 6:00, work by 7:00 :smile: Was up by 5:45 and at work before 7:00
    - Protein bar for breakfast
    - Finish training Jennie
    - Meeting with a higher up I've not met before from 11:00-12:00. Should be ok I know the subject quite well.
    - Figure out lunch
    - Pick V up from theater
    - Church at 7:00 - Revival/Jubilee
    - Dinner
    - Bed by 10:30 up at 4:30 to go to CrossFit even though my elbow is still wonky.

    Positive thought for the day:
    Friends can be your family even when your family can't be your friend.

    @pridesabtch Some people dwell on their beefs and absolutely refuse to be happy and thankful for what they do have. Don't let the negativity drag you down too.
    Since beginning of August have been crazy busy at work, was doing okay till this am when in response to my negative dh, I polished off the last of the lasagna in front of the computer. Have a telephone hearing this am regarding our proposed tax appraisal (astronomical jump). So I'm stressing out.
    Okay, off to work. Wish me well please.

    Gave in to a few cravings this weekend, but at these beginning stages I think I need those. The fatigue of constant diligence will bring me down. I don't like the idea of a "cheat" meal or day, because I see it more as a chance to relax the defenses. It lets me be stronger while I continue to work towards my goals!

    My goal today:
    Log everything
    Get to the gym
    Training time with my doggie (done!)

    The weekend is always over way too soon. Sat. was a fun & food-filled day on our outing & I didn't log a thing. Sunday was a good day, started with Bible class & church, followed by 4 mile walk with dog, 3 loads of laundry done (no line-drying with air so humid), and healthy couscous salad, leftover veggies & spicy black bean burgers for supper. Even had room in food log for ice cream dessert. Water intake not so good over weekend so need to up that again. MapMyWalk messaged that I have reached 800 km so far this year on my way to 1019 km challenge = happy me.

    JFT M 9/16
    1) Walked dog 3.68 mi 1:07:12 before work on very foggy & muggy morning, mild temps are summer-like, and saw 1 bunny = happy dog & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net cals zero / 14c water
    4) Progress on GA-C/V audit (due date fast approaching late next week) / update work calendar / stay at office until 5:30-6:00
    5) To-do's: post weekly w/i on JFT / email aunt / drop mail at P.O. / organize lunch for T (noon webinar) / wash dishes / read prep instructions (colonoscopy on F ~ yippee) / other?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 10:00 (walk dog before work T)

    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.

    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.

    I've finished knitting my sweater dress and it is too big :s:s:s now I have to unpick it all and make it in a smaller size. I have knitted to the right measurements but it just looks too big on me.... It was not a good moment when I tried it on, the only positive is that it's too big; if it had been too small, I would not have had enough to wool to knit a larger size!

    @cschmitz110515. That's an accomplishment to be proud off - well done you

    @pridesabtch. I think that you were right to ignore the text, it was unfair and unnecessary. Dont let it get to you; you didn't forget her birthday and you have celebrated it with her!
