I have no idea what I'm doing... but this group feels motivating, so I'm going to try and jump in!
I want to be more active and feel more confident. Just logging into mfp is motivating! Hoping to find some accountability partners
My goal today: drink more water
My goal this week: go to Zumba on Tuesday and/or Thursday (I've frequently 'scheduled' activity, but always find a reason not to go...)

JFT - Sunday Feb 3 Determined
2L of water
Calories in Maintenance
Walk 1 Mile
5 Fruits and Veggies
Only 1 evening Snack
5 something at bathroom break
Write in Journal
Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.
Today is the girls birthday dinner and I have the Grands here so I’m just going to worry about Maintenance today.
Our neighbors water is frozen, what a mess that would be. I grew up in a country house that our water froze quite regularly in the winter. At least we had a stone cellar so it wasn’t as bad as being under a trailer.

Faebert - I bet you got lots of steps in with the party. So you probably did ok.
Elbee1 - wow 7 cups!! That’s awesome. You also got in some exercises. I need to start doing that consistently.
Littleblackskirt- A new Grandson! Congratulations! How many do you have? When was he born?
Clicketykeys- did you rest yesterday and take a me day? Or are you sick? Hopefully you just took a well deserved lazy day. You rarely do.
Kroach77 - I joined this group in April and have been checking in daily since except for a couple of vacation days. It has been the best thing I could have done.4 -
"DISCIPLINE"[/i]. Because I know that is what I need ... the discipline to do mindful eating, the discipline to look up calories ahead of time, the discipline to get to the gym regularly, the discipline to drink my water, and the discipline to never give up.[/i][/b]
Always remember how awful I feel when I eat unhealthy, junk foods. ALways remember how good I feel when I stay in control over what I eat. Never forget that feeling.
JFT, Sunday, Feb 2
1. log all food
2. stay within planned foods
3. eat one evening snack ... then brush/floss teeth
4. mindful eating
5. January Challenge - red cup challenge. 8+ glasses water
6. never give up. Remember how great feeling fit and eating healthy will feel. Do not kick myself when summer gets here for not trying harder. Discipline!!

@Snowflake1968, this is the first and he is only 24 hours old. He's been having breathing difficulties as he was born early, but I'm sure he'll be much better in a few days. The medical care they have had has been very very good (in UK)
I went to the chippy on the way home from the hospital. I didn't even enjoy it and didn't eat it all. Must remember that the next time I think it would be a good idea. The thought is better than the reality!

@frenchfancy2014 so very sorry for your loss. Hugs to you1

Accurate logging
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
January water challenge
not sure as I'm so poor at logging water
Fitbit excercise goals
Need to do some housework today - not my idea of fun!
I did a bit, kitchen was clean and tidy, then I had dinner!
Where did the weekend go? It can't really be Monday tomorrow?
I weigh each day and use Happyscale to track trends but Monday is my accountability day, I know I will weigh more than I did at the beginning of the year and that I will be above my maintenance range but at least the trend is now going in the right direction now 😊
I'm keeping with the January water challenge, I still struggle with it. Thankfully l'm don't usually desire nighttime snacks so the February challenge one won't be a hard one for me.
Wishing you all well.

@littleblackskirt Congratulations on the birth of your Grandson!!! That is so exciting!!! And, it's your first! Yay! Hoping his breathing will be normal, soon.3

A big me, too, on this!!
Wishing us both well on this. And, yeah, NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Also, "consistency"!
Exercising once every week or two is better than nothing, but why do I put my body through that much torture. I'm sure my body would adjust if I do it regularly... but waiting too long inbetween is like starting all over, again.
1) can't do as much -- cause beginning all over, again.
2) the soreness... that's just crazy, Elbee1!
@kroach77 I'm scheduling Zumba for 3 tiimes a week. Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday... last week, I only did Sunday. I really want to do this, too.

Hey dveryone, feeling a bit better, not ate the best the last few days, but im hoping to sort that tomorrow.
My main focus this week, start exercising again. I really need to start, diet alone is not getting me the results i want!

This is from the GEM fb page and I thought of our little group (note: there is a difference from analyzing where you are weak and figuring out how to overcome said weakness and condemning yourself for stumbling. Peace and joy.)
What you SAY to yourself matters 🙌
Imagine you had a choice of roommates. Would you want to live with someone who constantly criticized you and noticed everything you did WRONG or someone who always was kind to you, and celebrated every GOOD thing you did, no matter how small?
You are the ONLY one who lives in your mind 24/7. What does your internal dialogue look like?
And ask yourself...has being harsh and self-critical ever actually benefited you? 🤔
If it hasn't, maybe some change is in order. Maybe instead of beating yourself up, you should cheer yourself on. Be your own encourager, and surround yourself with others who do the same! 💕
Right On! 👏👏👏👏💥BOOM BABY💥1 -

@maryrobinson40 keep hanging in there.,we are on our way to better !😉xx
You are so right we are... Let's make a pact to Rise and Shine Monday morning and get in at least 10 "YES'S"
Out of bed, make the bed, get fresh and dressed, drink one of our waters, get some kind of exercise, drink
another water, encourage someone else along the way, and make it an enjoyable, doable week.
Every step matters! Every step is a big step! Every step is a move of success!!!
Love you friend💠3 -

@littleblackskirt - congrats on your new grandson and hope he is improving
@snowflake1968 - how did the birthday celebrations go? My little one had a great weekend, really pleased it all went to plan.
@mytime6630 - thanks for the new challenge! I definitely have to work on this. In fact I’m going to aim for every day to be strictly three meals, three snacks, with just one after dinner. Sounds like a lot but my breakfast and lunch are typically light as I prefer to eat little but often to keep me going through the school day. So hopefully this goal will keep me to my 2019 ‘balance’ objective.
Had a good day yesterday, although I didn’t get in any exercise as wanted to focus on my birthday girl. Normal week this week so aiming to get back into the swing of workouts.

@faebert - it went well a little rushed. We are in the middle of a snowstorm so the girls followed each other on the highway back to the city. They loved their gifts. The Grands and I started gifts today but it took longer than I expected so we will finish them and give them next week.
I’m happy your little one had a good party. I miss the little girl parties 1 -

Stay in the Green - this will be tough--eating all 3 meals out. Don't know what's being served at symposium and then there's Superbowl Party at Cousin's/friend's house. aarrgghh. I done pretty good...
Would like to get cardio in, but don't know if I'll be able to squeeze it in if DS & his wife come visit between the symposium & the Superbowl. aarrgghh. Did Zumba DVD. Just trying to learn the steps, but was so sore from yesterday... couldn't do it with energy. And, only did the learn the steps DVD.

How are you going to make it a good Monday, JFT?????

Monday weigh-in:
Ultimate Goal weight: 154
First Goal weight: 159
Starting weight (this year): 167
Jan 7th: 167
Jan14th: 166
Jan 28th: 163.25
Feb 4th: 164.25
Not exactly going in the right direction, but it's also not surprising, just ate way too much this week! I need to be much more careful not to end up in a calorie surplus early on in the week. I often plan to make up for it at the weekend with exercise, but then find that the exercise I do makes me hungrier and I end up eating most of that back as well! So really, I should aim to be in the green, or at least in maintenance, every day - no planning to make up for it later.4 -
