Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.
I was so lazy yesterday, I didn’t accomplish anything really all day. I am so bored! I really need to find a project that takes some time. I did walk in the living room for 3 miles last night. It was the most active I was all day!2 -
Maryrobinson40 - you are so positive and encouraging to everyone of us. I just love you.
Toaljasa- what an insightful way to look at your body. I never thought of it that way before. It made me pause to think.
Wow - your message to Alexhayg spoke loudly to me. Thank you!
Bex953172 - hope you’re feeling better before you start tidying and exercising.
Clicketykeys- Goodreads that you mention is that the app? I started that once and fell so far behind in it.
Aubyshortcake - you’ve come to the right place for accountability and support.
I joined last April and give this group lots of credit for 25lbs gone.
Alexhayg- I am struggling too. Since Boxing Day. We can do this!
Elbee1 - you are doing well.
Littleblackskirt - i find the same thing with routine. I think that is my problem right now, I don’t have a routine at all. Everyday is like a weekend.

JFT Tuesday Feb 5
Happy (Chinese) New Year, Everyone!!!
I made a milestone this morning - Normal BMI by (Chinese) New Years. Weighed in at EXACTLY 25.00 on a workday!
My next major MFP-type milestone target is "Start Transition to Maintenance before End Of March" (~ 6 pounds from now)
I also only have ~ONE INCH to go in order to do up my wedding dress - so I also have a milestone to Do Up Wedding Dress before 31st Aniversary (April 30) - and keep being able to do it up long after!
JFT (after work Tuesday) -
2 x 10 minutes HIIT (one right after work and one later into the evening)
Make up for stepping missed last night - so at least 1hr 30 minutes on the mini-trampoline
Do dishes
Put away laundry
Pre-weigh and pre-pack Wed breakfast and lunch

January Goals / Results:
- Frenzy on the Fox 5K 7 p.m. 1/11/19 ~ no time goal since I'm walking w/ good friend = We had great time & another former colleague/friend joined us. According to MapMyWalk, finished in 54:19 ave. pace 18:02 ~ slow for me but Fox River Trail was crowded & I was with friends.
- Treadmill 3-5x per week / walk dog if road conditions permit / snowshoe/walk in workplace mindfulness hikes = 1 mindful hike, 1 snowshoe hike (so fun!), treadmill 10X during month. I'm mixing up workouts much more due to weather & I don't really like the treadmill. 34.85 miles total.
- X-train 1-3x per week: home version of weights & circuit training, Sweaty Betty or other videos, WiiFit, yoga = weights/circuit-training 4X, Sweaty Betty 2X, shoveled snow 2 days

when I remember - Prelog food most days while being flexible to changes / limit snacking after supper / close MFP food diary every day except: mom's and hubby's birthdays = Have been prelogging most days, always subject to change. Evening snacking has been an issue
due to dreary, crappy winter weather & emotions. Closed food diary every day except 1/30 when workplace closed due to extreme cold & dangerous wind chills (polar vortex 
). - Net calories w/i 100 of zero > 75% of days (24/31) & meet protein/fiber goals = Forgot to review MFP monthly report at month-end... most days red
, not by much many times. Fiber low(ish) too many days. Protein good all month. 
- Take measurements Th 1/31 & remember to log on MFP = Done... measurements mainly holding steady. Proof that scale number is not the be all & end all.
- Scale goal (since I have holiday weight I'd like to lose) 156# = 159.5
Right after several days of hubby's bday cake.
February Goals:- Seroogy's Valentine 5K 8 a.m. 2/9/19 goal 45:00 ~ winter road conditions may impact & plan to wear layers ~ forecast overnight low -4F (-20C) and high temp 13F (-10C)
- Treadmill 3-5x per week / walk dog if roads conditions ever improve / snowshoe/walk in weekly workplace hikes
- X-train 1-3x per week: weights & circuit-training, Sweaty Betty or other videos, WiiFit, yoga, other
- 5 somethings every bathroom trip
- Prelog food most days / remain flexible to changes / limit after-supper snacking / close MFP food diary every day
- Net calories w/i 100 of zero > 75% of days (21/28) & meet fiber/protein goals
- Take measurements Th 2/28 & remember to log on MFP
- Scale goal 156#
Today ~ Smile ~ Laugh ~ Be Kind ~
~ Eat Well ~ Be Active 1 - Frenzy on the Fox 5K 7 p.m. 1/11/19 ~ no time goal since I'm walking w/ good friend = We had great time & another former colleague/friend joined us.

You are sure putting your word for the year in practice. Even though you are bored you are still determined to knock out your goals. And even though you are confined to a relatively small place, you were determined to walk for 3 miles!!! That is amazingly marvelous! Wow! While you are waiting for that fabulous job...here are some suggestions to take up some time...and you are probably doing/have done most of them, but these are just off the top of me old noggin'!
Do you have free weights? (3-10lo ones?)
Peace and joy!
Boredom Busters! (one day's worth anyhow!)
Have you tidied the drawers in your home? I read the book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up"...from Marie Kondo. It was good, and I did purge but I didn't follow her idea of how to fold clothing, towels, etc. Until I watched one of her shows. Wow, I couldn't believe how much room her technique gave us. And there is a sense of peace and joy in seeing my underwear and sweater and scarves, etc. drawers all neat and tidy. Even my husband has thanked me...twice!...for organizing his undie and t-shirt drawers...
What about meal plans? I am finding recipes, saving them to my Evernote, along with the link. I also add the nutritional values so I don't have to click the link to look. I am now getting a list from which to plan my meals from. A month-long plan doesn't work for me, but if I can look at 15 or so meal ideas for the week, it seems to help.
Go on Craig's list or Facebook market page or freecycle and look for craft supplies...the only criteria being they have to be 100% free!! Normally you wouldn't have time to look a couple of times a day (so you can get it before someone else)...but right now you do! So go for it!
Tackle chores that are often overlooked: clean your windows and blinds, vacuum window treatments, clean the top of the washer as well as the inside of the lid, clean the dishwasher where the door meets the washer itself. Clean the top of the fridge and your bathroom vanity lights. Clean the doors and doorframes. Clean your front and back doors. Clean out your make up drawer; Clean from under the sinks Clean!!!
Listen to an hour-long podcast each day...if you are a Christian find one that is going through a book of the Bible; otherwise, there are loads of them out there to work on your mind, spirit, emotions.If
Read a book! If you have a Kindle app you can download lots of freebies.
Work on a budget, if you haven't got one. No matter what a person's income is, every dollar needs to be assigned a job.
Wow, now I have a conviction to go tackle some of the overlooked cleaning jobs!
We are all waiting and anticipating your next job!!!

Wow! Thanks for putting so much thought into my issue. I truly appreciate it.
I hadn’t looked for craft supplies on the groups, but I have been selling some.
You talk about Marie Kondo, I am generally a pretty tidy person but my eldest isn’t and she has been talking about Marie Kondo and working on her methods for a few weeks now. So that I could converse intelligently with her I watched the series on Netflix. It did kick me in the butt a bit and I have done my bathroom, craftroom and drawers and closet. I do have her book I could read though.
Right now I’m working on a couple little projects and then I’m going to do a recipe binder for myself, I have a few recipes in a few cookbooks I always struggle to find when I want them. So I am going to do that this week as I really would like to start meal planning and I think that would help me.
Again, thank you so much it’s truly appreciated.2 -

Mostly all because I didnt eat my smoothie!
3. Fish Oil and Elderberry I never remember these unless I drink my smoothie.
Well a tough start - but its a start! Still very distracted with deciding on my future/job choices. So again...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Changing-Magic-Not-Giving-bestselling/dp/1784298468
It's essentially taking the principles of Marie Kondo - only keeping what sparks joy or is useful - and applying it to your whole life. I found it very useful
In terms of things to do, could you tackle both the boredom and the budget issue by selling stuff on eBay/ Amazon? This is something I've always meant to do, but I've always found that the faff/ time of doing it has outweighed the monetary reward (I only have small value stuff to sell). But if I had lots of time on my hands I totally would!
Also, sign up for surveys! You can make quite a bit from surveys. I'm not sure where you would do that in Canada - I know the UK ones - but I'm sure that if you Google it you'll find places! Surveys can be quite interesting too (I used to write them for a job)4 -
I didn’t manage to get on here this morning to post goals and update yesterday. Not sure where the morning went but anyway, last night didn’t end well as I got into some party leftovers - oops!

Scales heading in the right direction and I'm now back to the top of my maintenance range.

Pleased that I stopped then reversed the gain early and think this thread helped me to think and be accountable. I've not managed maintenance well in the past. Previously, I would have probably gone on gaining until I had a wake up call when clothes became too tight to get into!3 -

You know, ive always said it must be much harder to maintain than to actually lose weight!
You have to have much more determination to not say "Oh f**k it, im at goal weight, whats the harm?!"
Its very good you took control immediately. Sounds like youve well and truly understood that its a life long thing and not just to achieve goal!
Liking your idea about losing a bit extra to make room for indulgences, just in the way we scrimp on the good stuff and bank calories to have a treat!4 -

Thanks everybody. I'm really tired of being hungry pretty much every day and STILL making minimal progress. And then teaching stuff on top of that. I get absolutely enraged at the casual assumption that as a teacher, I should donate hours and hours and HOURS of my own uncompensated time to my employer. At least, if I want to be halfway decent. And if I "really care," then teaching should be my life, apparently.
And it grates on me even more that I have to keep my mouth shut about this if I want to keep my job - which is something I do enjoy doing. I have exactly ZERO confidence that if I point out that THIS IS A PROBLEM, that my colleagues and I are frustrated and feel exploited and overwhelmed and disrespected, my concerns will be met with platitudes about passion and helping children and making a difference. And nothing will change.
... except that I'll be on the Bad List. (Again.)7 -
Hi Everyone... I'm having my second biopsy Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m.
I have spoken to my family that I will not be "driving Mrs. Daisy" for the rest of the week.
I'm totally going to take care of myself. I have canned soup so that I won't be overeating
and bottled water by my bed, so I can really take it easy and heal.
Mammogram was last week and breasts are still tender . All in All, I welcome these
tests because my body is worth all the efforts I can put in to have a life of quality.
I will be on meds so I'm not sure if my log in streak will continue... Lol…. But I will try.
I'm Thankful, and Optimistic🙌🙏
Love all of you.4
