STEP GOAL - 10,000

Hahaha...not even close to goal! I watched documentary about breaking the 2 hour marathon barrier and the movie Brittany Runs a Marathon. Does watching other people move count for anything 😉🙃 I needed an off day. I kept to my calorie goal and thoroughly enjoyed doing a lot of nothing today. Back to lots of movement tomorrow.3 -

I feel I did great this week! I had a new high step count and I stayed on track despite craving a lot of junk this week. I managed not to use my couple of minor injuries this week as excuses to eat or laze about. I did allow myself a full day off from activity when sick, but I didn't beat myself up over an inactive day.
As for tools, I think I have all of them that I need, I just need to not only use them, but use them properly. I've noticed that some days I will still struggle to drink enough, but I won't notice until too late. I have tools to keep track, several of them actually, but if I don't use them they aren't any help.
Great job taking care of yourself when you weren’t feeling well and not feeling down on yourself for inactivity at that time!!
Great point, having all the tools for success don’t help if we don’t use them. This applies to lots of things for all of us and a great reminder!😊 I want to thank you for all you do here!Navydaddjtc wrote: »
well let's see here....
I'd give my week a solid 4.5... tons of room for improvement on the goals ....
On Friday i saw my PTSD counselor and we decided that Greg need an accountability partner...someone who can stand up to me ... a person who is tactful enough yet strong enough to hold my feet to the fire....I am working on this as we speak and I will let you know if my choice comes to bear.
I hope your choice in accountability partners works out for you😊 I’m not to great at policing myself at times😊jcgator2016 wrote: »Gotta share something with my friends. Had an incident happen to me last night that is kinda bothering me.
Wife cooks a big dinner on Sundays and my boys and their families come over to eat with us. Which is pretty nice because they all work hard during the week, this is the only day we all get together. Anyways, the wife forgot a couple things and asked me to run to the grocery store. I knew Publix would be busy but I figured I could run in quickly and get out. They were busy, I grabbed a cart and got the needed items as well as a couple things I needed. Checkout lines were long, even the express line with 10 or fewer items. So I was in line behind a teenage girl that didn't have anything. I figured she was getting a candy bar or gum as we got closer to the cashier. Line was moving, she was next to check out when I heard a commotion behind me. Thee were at least 4 customer behind me when I looked back, and a man and his wife was asking everyone to move so they can get to their daughter who happened to be in front of me. Then I figured it out. The daughter was standing in line to reserve a place in line for her parents while they shopped. This did not sit well with me, so I expressed in an even tone that was not cool. We would all have to back out our carts because it's too narrow with the candy and magazine shelves for them to get by. So the guy took an attitude with me, and since I don't have a filter sometimes, I fired back harshly. This went on for a couple mins, I told him I've been coming to this same Publix for over 25 years and I have never heard of reserving a spot in a line while someone shops. He said it was common where he came from, blah blah blah.
Long story short, I didn't let him get in front of me and neither did the guy behind me who said nothing. The guy was yapping the whole time to his wife while he was behind us.
So, my question. Is this normal policy in some parts of our country to reserve a spot in line while you shop? It's really bugging me.
@jcgator, I’ve never heard of having someone save your place in line at the grocery store, it seems really rude to me. It sounds like they were really shopping too, not just a few items. I would have said something as well. A while back, I was in a line at Costco and I only had a few items. There was an elderly gentlemen right behind me with his cart and several others behind him. All of a sudden this man tried to just slip in front of me while talking on his phone that was on speaker- also rude in my opinion. I told him he couldn’t cut into the line, we had been waiting. He started telling the person on his phone call about it like I was wrong. I held my ground and he ended up going to the back of the line. Sorry you had that experience, hopefully the couple you encountered knows that doesn’t work in your area!😉

"Well, Nana said Santa will be bringing some of my presents to Nana's house, so you better put up outside lights!" I haven't put up outside lights in over 15 years. But, I wouldn't want to upset Santa or my grandson.
Your lights look great Jim and your grandson is precious!! One year we put a torn piece of red felt on the fireplace and our son was sooo excited- he’s 24 now.
You can also make reindeer food and put it in the front yard😊 Chex cereal, just crunch it up in a little ziplock and sprinkle it in your yard. And the birds will eat it.

Struggling. Our dear friend is in ICU and in his last days. We're not ready to let him go. I know nobody ever is. He's battled cancer for over a year when he was given a 3-6 month prognosis. He's such a fighter and it's so hard to see him in this condition. I was so hoping we would have one more Christmas with him.

@Shortgirlrunning Your insight is spot-on I think, about how when we don't exercise, we don't eat well either. I think it's so true!!!
@Navydaddjtc We are with you on this! How do you eat an elephant (weird expression that it is) - one bite at a time!
@Fitness327wk I'm so sorry to hear the bad news about your friend. I will pray for Moriah and her family.
@MadisonMolly2017 I hope you cat is feeling better soon.
@runarml Glad you got out. Stay warm!!!
@BonnieHosk85 Bonnie, I'm so sorry - I will keep you and your friend in my prayers as well.2 -

On the first day of Trimstone my dogs gave to me 3, 30+ minute walks. Sorry I didn't take water with me though, my dogs sometimes require two hands to handle.
On the second day of Trimstone I supported my awesome team mates, friends, and others on MFP.
