That is kind of what happens!
It's ok if I:
- Start off banking some green, leaving me some free calories to play with at the end of the week (weekend!)
- Get in the red, but not too much.... Otherwise it's too much to make up for!
Last week was a fail though as I went quite over on Tuesday meaning I was very behind from the start. So that was never going to happen!
This week, I should be green/neutral for Mon - Wed at least.... Let's see how this goes!4 -
Good Day! I'm alright with it. And Celebrating my "DO's" I'm proud of how I startedmaryrobinson40 wrote: »maryrobinson40 wrote: »JFT(MONDAY)

Another good article from GEM:
It's evident when someone truly appreciates something they have, because they take great care of it.
Ever been in a home that you could tell was kept REALLY well by the owner? It was kept tidy, necessary upkeep was always done, and you could tell the person living in that home valued where they were. Maybe it wasn't even the biggest, most extravagant home- but that home was cherished.
Conversely, have you ever been in a home that you could just TELL wasn't valued? Maybe it was really dirty, unkempt, and you could just tell the owner didn't put a lot of effort into it.
Have you ever thought of you body as your home? Think about it- your body truly is the only place you will ever live in, all your life long. You can't trade it in for another one. The one you have, is the one you'll always be in.
Maybe instead of viewing your body as a loathed placed you HAVE to live in, you can shift your perspective a bit. You GET to live in the body you have! And just like a home, it will be as healthy and thriving as you make it.
Just like a little TLC can completely transform a house, your body can completely transform if you put in the effort to cherish it. Start to treat it like your dream home, and it will truly BECOME your dream home.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
Today: 192.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams).
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).
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?
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.
6. Medical: Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Feb 7 12:00 w new. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for FTN (Feb?) Audition for Avenue Q March. Audition for Christie March. Audition for Mamma Mia ???
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
Word for the year: Climbing. The key is to climb and also not dig! ;D4 -
Hi all! I am new to this thread but I could use some accountability for myself. I have not been great at sticking within my calorie goals or exercising.
My goal for today is pretty simple:
1. Go for a walk on my lunch break
2. Stay within my calorie goal
Good luck all, have a great day!4 -
I am struggling this week. Weight loss has pretty much ground to a halt. Still being good and sticking to my calories but I am a very points driven person so when I don't see the results in the numbers I feel defeated. I am finding this group good to keep me on track day by day. So for today my goals are:
- Eat my healthy lunch and snacks - no office biscuits!
- No pudding tonight. I have been having 'healthy' lower calorie puddings but that doesn't mean I need it.
- Put my all into my exercise tonight.4 -
2/4/19 Monday
*Weigh: 😀 158 lbs. yay!
*Stay in the green 😞
*January's red cup challenge 😀 4 cups
*In bed by midnight 😞 fell asleep early on couch but with contacts on.
-Maybe back exercises, push-ups & triceps extensions -- I may need to have a rest day due to my body needing it... we'll see. 👌 Took a rest day.
JFT 2/5/19 Tuesday
*work into my work day-back exercises including planks & crunches.
*pushups
*Triceps dips
*cardio dance class, or Zumba either with a class or DVD.
January red cup challenge
Stay in the green
Bed by midnight

Hi I’m a little late to the party but today is Lunar New Year! Or Chinese New Year or Vietnamese New Year.
2019 Goal: Maintain my current weight loss, which seems more challenging than the losing part.
JFT:
No sweets tonight after dinner. No second glass of wine. Did it last night. I can do it again tonight.
And go to yoga class.4 -
I think I'll draw a line under yesterday! I did log, some of it estimated, and was way in the red. Was offered unexpected chocolate birthday cake and did not refuse. Didn't do any exercises either. All I managed was to care for pets and family. As soon as my routine is interrupted my good diet goes out the window. Well I suppose that is something for me to work on.
So JFT
Log on mfp and stay in the green
Do exercises, still having a lot of pain
Walk with a friend
Look after son's pets
Prepare house for them hopefully coming home4 -
I am struggling this week. Weight loss has pretty much ground to a halt. Still being good and sticking to my calories but I am a very points driven person so when I don't see the results in the numbers I feel defeated.
I have been at the same weight, give or take 3lbs since October! I was down 30lbs for the year. In the past, I, too, would have been defeated and would have given up, and probably would have regained everything. But this time it is different, because I have come to realize I am on a lifelong journey for my health, my spirit, and my mind.
Working hard at exercising, taking every bite captive with mindful eating, drinking plenty of water, practicing self-discipline, is hard work but when we see the results we do a happy dance. But the fight really begins when we plateau...when it seems we are still doing the same routine but we aren't seeing the results we are expecting and deserving of.
But. You are seeing results. You haven't lost hope (you are fearing you will, and that's why you are on here, yea!), you are still strategizing (exercising), evaluating (hmm...I've started eating on these puddings that I wasn't doing before...), which means: You Are Still Moving Forward! And that's the aim...move forward.
In the meantime, relish where you are right now. Be grateful for how far you've come. This may be your biggest challenge yet: The Waiting Challenge. Continue to do what you are doing, read a book or listen to podcasts on something that will improve your mind, emotion, or spirit. Begin a new hobby, find a different place to walk. Remember, the scale is a bunch of numbers on a hunk of metal. Don't let the scale control your actions, your moods, or declare you a winner or a loser.
Even while we are waiting, we can still move forward And we know that eventually our body is going to begin releasing the weight again. And then one day we will start dropping the weight and we can look back and say, "Wow! Look at how much I've grown as a person! I did it!"
Peace and joy.

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.

“Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” Francis of Assisi1 -
After a 3 day weekend of indulging in every craving I had, I’m trying to get myself back together. I feel like my weight loss journey is on an endless cycle of highs and lows. I’m in a deep low right now.
JFT Tuesday
1. Log all food
2. 150oz water
3. Get to the gym
4. No after dinner snacking
You described the journey perfectly! Realistically speaking, that is exactly what a journey is! It's not all smooth sailing...it's rocky, it's got dips, turns, valleys, hills, plateaus (gotta watch out for those...they look innocent but they can bring about dispair, lol). There are all sorts of challenges on this journey. Sometimes it seems like it's easier and we learn to be grateful for those moments when we see great progress. Because we know we are going to come to a hurdle that is going to slow us down a bit. It's going to test our very being. It's not a cycle. It's just another challenge as you move along on your journey.
So, get focused. Determine to stay the course. Determine that you aren't going back. When you slip, get up and catch your breath, surround yourself with encouragement through music, JFT, a book, a podcast, scripture, quotes, journaling, writing down just how far you've come each day no matter how small it seems (said no to a second helping; drank an extra 1/2 cup of water). And keep moving forward.
If you have been depressed for awhile go to the doctor...don't *kitten* foot around with that stuff---it may be as simple as needing extra vitamin D, but life is too short not to do all we can to live it to the fullest.
