    Thank you for the b-day wishes, JFTers! You helped make my day sweeter. <3

    Recap R 10/10
    1) Walked dog before work 3.3.58 mi 1:03:37, heard owl, stretched = happy dog & happy me :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 16,143 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! & 68 floors :smiley:
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net cals < 100 red / 14c water = Yay! Net cals -80 :) , sodium -397, sugar -2, fiber & protein good, 14c water
    4) Continue update records request lists :) GA-B finally done, GA-S in progress / Cognos online training no time, next week instead
    5) Evening: choir rehearsal canceled / make meatloaf, cheesed cauliflower & delicata squash (I never had before) / whatever I want to do = Had a relaxing evening (except for all. the. paperwork. for F blood spot test ~ SUCH a pain!) :smiley:
    6) Unplug 10:00 :neutral: / FLOSS :s / RETAINERS :s / prep blood spot test :) / bed & tv 10:30 :) (rain forecast & no dog walk F a.m.)

    JFT F 10/11 ~ raining again *sigh*
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings / Fitbit 10,000
    2) Meals & snacks prelogged / carb-loading tonight / net calories < 100 red / 14c water
    3) Complete GA-S records request list & start GA-C/V list / usual weekly updates / clear Inbox a little?
    4) Evening: pick up race packet / pick up supper at Chili John's (chili with noodles for carbs) / prep race clothes & extra clothes to change ~ temps will drop into 30s (F) overnight so remember gloves, etc. / prep money purse for farmers market (Sat. market goes thru Oct.) / take laundry upstairs & put away / other?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & tv off 10:20 (leave 8 a.m. for 5K)

    Tomorrow morning I am walking (for 4th time) in Run for the Hill of It 5K. All trail and grass in a parkway, some trail paved, mostly not. Means with wet Sept. course will be muddy so wearing an old pair of shoes. UP the steep sledding hill is end of race (and timed). Last year, I did hill in 2:01 and total time of 48:13. My goal this year is twofold: 45:00 total time & beat that hill ~ want to finish < 2 min. Last year only about 25 racers were under 2 min. on the hill, and the fastest win King/Queen of the Hill honors.

    DISCARD 5 LB CHALLENGE #4
    SW: 188.6 on 10/8
    CW: 187 -1.6
    GW: 183.6 would be a 5 lb loss

    Hello my MFP JFT Peeps!

    I saw an Integrative Medicine doctor at the medical clinic where I work on Wednesday. It is a new department we just opened and I was so glad! She saw me for a 60-minute consult, and I think she is just what I need! I feel so much hope that just because I've felt lousy for 8 years since cancer treatments, doesn't mean that is what I have to feel like forever as my "new normal". Pretty exciting stuff!

    First thing she has me doing is eating between set hours (8 hour stretch) and cutting out sugar and flour...pretty much eating whole foods. It is not no carb or low carb...it is no sugary foods and no flour foods. So I'm on Day 4 today of that. I can use Stevia in my coffee so that has helped me to give up the flavored creamer I love. I have to drink 80 oz of water every day. Journal my food for two weeks and bring back to next appointment. I started L-Theanine to help with anxiety and will be starting Vitamin D as I am really low and that causes a lot of my symptoms. I'm praying this is the start of a new healthier me! I've also been walking Maddie every night (except last night because it was pretty dark by the time I got home) and listening to podcasts or nature, which has really been helpful. I feel physically better having walked, and I get alone time as an introvert, and I get my spiritual fill by listening to podcasts or nature.

    Life is starting to feel happy again. I'm really feeling grateful for that.

    Have a great Friday!

    Just for Friday
    Eat only between 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
    Eat no sugar, no flour foods
    Journal everything I eat
    Drink 80 oz of water
    30 minutes of activity
    30 minutes of self-care
    Podcasts
    Evening routine - brush/floss, wash face & moisturize, gratitude journal, spiritual readings, Calm app and lights out by 10:30

    @cschmitz110515 HAPPY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY! I hope you had a great day, and I hope you have a wonderful evening out this weekend with the hubby. Good luck in your race tomorrow also! Thanks for adding how long the Saturday's farmers market runs. LOL! I'm so bad at knowing what's going on around town!

    @maryrobinson40 I am so glad to see you!! We miss you when you're gone. I hope things are getting a little brighter for you. You are a beautiful woman, both inside and out! Great pics!

    @Bex953172 I have same belly symptoms going on since I gained. I have noticed though over the past few days just by cutting out a few of the really bad things I was eating, that it's easing up a little bit. Not sure what to tell you about Biggie....I'm trying to teach my dog not to jump all over me the minue I walk in the door too. She's so high strung when I get home and so darn excited that she doesn't realize her nails are scratching me, and she's wrecking some of my work sweaters. I have been trying to teach her "Off" when she jumps on me, then "sit" while I pet her, and while I pet her I tell her "be gentle" and "good girl, gentle". Does it work? Hell no. But I'm not giving up... HAHAHA!

    Welcome to the newcomers! So happy to have you join us! :smile:

    AT EVERYONE ELSE, I'm at work so have to jump off here but I'm thinking of you all and following your successes and your struggles with cheers and jeers! Mwah! :kissing_heart:

    @PackerFanInGB I thought of you when I wrote the farmers market note. :D Glad to "see" you and so glad you're getting some good days!

    @maryrobinson40 Gorgeous!!! Hugs to you!

    @Bex953172 I'm no dog expert, but a friend gave me a tip about jumping dogs: IMMEDIATELY when the dog jumps at Ash, he should knee the dog in the chest (not to hurt) to teach him NO. I've tried this in the past and it definitely helped distance the dog from me. Our dog now still tries jumping on me when I walk in the front door, and I can't knee her b/c there's a step to get inside; hard to step up & knee at the same time. Dog is great at the back door b/c she doesn't like the linoleum floor. hahaha

    I didn't get my goals set this morning, but total failure today. I did great all day until hubby made me a small margarita. I ate a very healthy dinner ... then I saw the opened bag of Halloween candy corn. Finished the bag off!!

    THen, my daughter had 2 frozen pieces of cheesecake in the freezer .... I ate one, then so mad at myself, so what do I do ... but eat the other one so it would be gone!! Now, does that make any sense at all!!

    But, I turned the evening around, and cleaned and cleaned from 8 pm until 10:30. So the house is cleaned at least. I am still upset with myself for giving in and eating all that junk. I know I'll feel awful tomorrow, but at least it is a new day.

    So my goals for tomorrow, Saturday, Oct 12
    1. GO TO THE GYM
    2. work in the yard
    3. taking daughter out for breakfast, but I will eat my eggs here, and just get a diet soda
    4. going to the mall with my daughter .. going to the Yankee candle store!
    5. get out halloween decorations
    6. clean garage so we can paint garage door
    7. dig up ornamental grass for my neighbor, and plant some in another neighbors yard (this neighbor is 80, and needs help).
    8. clean up our yard (it is suppose to be near 60 out!)
    9. MINDFUL EATING
    10. WATER
