@ZizzyBumble Congrats on making a good choice and avoiding the big drink. I’ve been in the same situation, it’s hard in the moment, but as you noted, it doesn’t solve the actual problem!
@pridesabtch Congratulations on your Peloton ride! 🎉 🍾 Hope it feels as good as it should!
@Snowflake1968 Congratulations for staying in the green! You’re moving and you’re meeting your eating goals, that’s big.3 -

circumstances dictated otherwise.
Complete home delivery shopping order and plan meals for the week ✅. Delivery is this morning, they were out of stock on the white wine I’d requested and haven’t made a substitution so I’m definitely on rations for the next week! (I can’t go shopping as I’m shielding as I’m caring for my terminally ill mum)

@Snowflake1968 , Swimming is lovely! I hope the pools are able to open on your area soon. I try to have a lunchtime walk to stop me being too grumpy!
@cesse47 , the video you do looks great! I’m sure you’ll get to the 10 minutes soon and be upping your weights! I would recommend a class when they’re able to open - it’s really handy to have someone check your form I think.
I hope everyone has a great day today. So many amazing commitments and achievements! I’m going to try and do some meal prepping this weekend after reading the posts here x

@Snowflake1968, we have just had restrictions lifted enough to allow us to meet family, but it has to be outside only. Before, the weather was really sunny, but now it is quite rainy and coldlittleblackskirt wrote: »

Not sure what I'll do today. It's funny how weekends still feel different, even though I can't work right now and every day is the same! I'm tired, as I've been awake in the night with toothache the last few nights. Trying to treat it myself as dentists are all closed.
Have a great weekend everyone!4 -

I highly recommend weight training for everyone thinking about it. I started weight training a few months ago. I do the Strong Lifts 5x5 program. I’ve never had a trainer, so I feel like I’m still working on my form, but I’m definitely getting stronger and I love that.

Yesterday was great. Sure I missed a few goals, mostly because I had a lot of calories left in the day and decided to have a few drinks. Oh well, it happens and I was still under by about 700 cal.
Today, my oldest is leaving to go camping with a friend so we are taking the youngest and her bestie kayaking. I love kayaking. I've only done it a few times, but it is so fun and it's great upper body exercise. Hope I can lift my arms tomorrow! After rowing, the youngest is spending the night with a friend and hubby is taking me out on a date. So I'll get all dressed up and even do my hair and makeup which never happens these days.

Is this a program you paid for or is it on YouTube? Since I'm 60 now, I want to start out small and build up. But I do feel that I need to strengthen my muscles. I don't want to be in a commercial in 10 years laying on the floor crying that "I've fallen and I can't get up!" Plus, I have terrible balance...so weak ankles is another area I need to work on. I was thinking about Tai Chi for that...pridesabtch wrote: »Today, my oldest is leaving to go camping with a friend so we are taking the youngest and her bestie kayaking. I love kayaking.

This sounds like a wonderful day! I would love to get a kayak and have discussed it with my husband. He doesn't like it so I'd have to go alone, and I don't know if that's such a good idea though. So I go back and forth with that. Have FUN on your date! That really sounds fun too!

Yesterday was a mixed bag. I started out in the morning feeling really good and had high hopes for the day, but it felt like I hit a brick wall around 1pm. My body felt exhausted and my eyes were burning and I just needed to lay down and shut my eyes. So, I listened and spent the afternoon in a dark room and started reading a new mystery. It felt like such a wasted day but I just couldn't fight it. I guess we just have to listen to our bodies sometimes and don't need to know why... I slept through the night and didn't wake up until 9:30 this morning and I had to MAKE myself get up! Dang....
Today is gorgeous. 73 with sunny blue skies. Doors and windows are open and all I can hear right now are the birds singing out back. TV is off because husband is over scraping and priming the outside of my mom's house. I find the older I get, the more I like quiet and the sounds of nature versus the sounds of TV or radio. It;s odd because I've always been such an extrovert and used to like to "party" quite a bit when I was younger.
I wanted to hop on and say hey to everyone and post some goals before I get moving. I am not going to sit around doing nothing again! LOL!

@ZizzyBumble - I hope someone can make a wine delivery for you.
@jenwalkingfurther - I used to walk at lunch at my old job. It’s not really possible here because of a short break time.
@littleblackskirt - We are allowed to gather up to 50 now as long as 6ft distance can be maintained. No sharing of food as in family style eating. It’s very strange really. I hope your tooth gives you some relief soon.
@teigansdad - 😂 they really do have a personality attached to them that makes them hard to resist. Does your whole family like them or just you? I find I have to buy treats for my husband that I don’t like that way I don’t succumb to temptation.
My downfall is chips and an ice cold coke. I used to not allow it in the house and if I really wanted it and kept craving it I made myself walk to the store to get it. I need to set that rule again.
@PackerFanInGB - I have a friend that is single, she goes kayaking and camping alone all the time. I always worry about her.
Tried to have a video chat with my Mom this morning, but her side froze up and the staff member of the home had left the room. Hopefully they call back later.
I don’t have any plans today, it is raining and cold again. Last summer was terrible and I’m hoping this summer is not the same.
Have a great day everyone

JFT, 6/5/20
- 64oz of water
- Only 2 glasses of wine(water beforehand)
- Only 2 pieces of pizza(save the rest for tomorrow) / Matt wanted garlic bread...so we ordered it. Not my smartest idea. It came as a 12inch french bread roll and I ate half of it...But boy was it yummy.
- Bed before midnight
Closer to 2am I think.
So I ended up writing last night which I didn't think I was going to do. I got some feedback on it from my friends and it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. With my mental state the way it's been it just depressed me. They did their best to build me back up and encourage me but I still ended up going into the freezer and grabbing an ice cream bar despite fighting myself about it. I should have just gone turned the lights out, I was in bed already, but no. I ate my feelings. I never thought I was really one to do that but I think last night really showed me that I do. Maybe not terribly but definitely more than I should be.
I have a kind of ambitious list of things I want to do today. At least for me and the depression I've been dealing with anyway. I'll see how much I can get done. A lot of it is in the kitchen so I think I'm going to put on the book that I'm listening to and just get to work. See how much I can do.
I hope everyone is having a great day!
JFT, 6/6/20

@HEGoddard0928 - I never thought that I was one to eat my feelings either, but I’ve learned that I eat crazy amounts when I’m bored. It’s awful. Hope you have a good say2

@PackerFanInGB - Strong Lifts is a free program on You Tube and it has an app that goes with it. I learned about it from the Fitness and Exercise boards here. There are so many programs. This seemed like a good beginner one and I pretty much had the equipment I needed so it’s a good fit.
My mom worked with a women’s only, group strength training program and really benefited from it. Her doctor said she was one of the healthiest patients she gets to see all day. And my mom will be turning 74 next month.5 -

End of March: 193.8
End of April: 192.6

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
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). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
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? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
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. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: 1984.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Google Hangout.
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

I'm sure I know the ones you mean, but I've never tasted one. Judging by the comments on here, it would be a very bad idea to try them! Here in the UK there is one particular chocolate bar which I'm sure has something addictive in it lol, I now have to avoid it completely.littleblackskirt wrote: »

Hi all, longtime lurker, first time poster. I've been having trouble staying on track since our state went into shelter-in-place, and I would prefer not to have to buy a new bigger wardrobe before I go back to work. I hope by making one small pledge I can follow through, so for today, I would like to track everything I eat in my journal.7

Hello, a Hit & Run kind of day. Basically same goals & tasks as Saturday. Today, I have to leave really early to help set up for a community "rally for racial justice" this afternoon followed by a Vigil for Justice. Both have speakers, tables for water, tables with brochures for different local groups trying to effect change, etc.6

Have great day all!
Yesterday was a great day, but I gotta get back on track today. Kayaking was fun, the girls never quite figured it out, but they were old nough to let them wander the lake without us so Tim and I went exploring. We paddled around for about and hour and half then went and found the girls and ended up chilling for about fifteen minutes in the sunshine. It was great and the girls, though really bad at kayaking, had a really fun time.
My new profile pic is from date night, we went out for dinner and drinks then went bowling for like two hours. With only the two of us, I actually worked up a sweat. So even though I ate and drank more than normal, it was a very active day and it balance out pretty well, I was less than 200 cal over in the end. I'll certainly take that as before my free days would be much, much worse. No candy or dessert was the big difference for me. I'm finding I just need to pass on it or I crave it all day. You know I don't really miss it that much, but the apple pie was calling my name yesterday...
They called me in to work yesterday, but I told them I was out of town which is technically true at the time, so I need to go in this morning. I may be a tad hung over, but nothing an afternoon nap won't cure. Well a nap and a lot of water...
JFT Sunday

Yesterday was a good day goal wise. I got everything done but the clothes. I HATE folding clothes so they end up in a pile on top of a blanket on the bedroom floor. I really need to get a handle on that. I hate folding it at the laundromat because it's always super sticky in there and I don't want to stay there any longer than I have. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and actually fold them there from now on. *sighs*
Matt asked me to call a pulmonologist for him and set up an appointment. He has early onset COPD and his breathing has gotten really bad the last few days. I have to wait until tomorrow to do it though since it's Sunday and everything is closed. We went to the store yesterday to pick up coffee and he was only in there for like 5 minutes with a mask on before he had to leave and go sit in the car. I feel really bad for him. I'm hoping the office I call can see him quickly.
I don't know what I am going to do today. It's already 1:30 in the afternoon. I think I might go for a short walk just to get me up and moving. I hope everyone has a great day!

I don't understand why I am feeling so much anxiety and depression lately. I am furloughed from work and we are meeting our bills, so I should be enjoying this time off! I mean, when have I, or will I, ever have weeks/months off work again? Never, unless I retire! It's been nice outside, so why am I not out there enjoying it? I feel tired and fatigued and want to eat everything in sight! It's ridiculous. So....today, I am making it a priority to get outside and spend some time just being in the present moment. And if that is the only goal I meet and everything listed below is a fail, I will be okay with that. Have to get my emotions under control before I'll be able to get EATING my emotions under control.
Have a great Sunday everyone! Peace and blessings to you all... :flowerforyou:

@pridesabtch - sounds like a lovely day yesterday.
@HEGoddard0928 - poor Matt can’t catch a break health wise. I hope he gets some answers from the pulmonologist.
@PackerFanInGB - I think the world is in such turmoil, not being able to see family and live our lives as we are used to is causing a lot of depression and anxiety in a lot of people. I think you’re handling it well, not watching news and media is a great start. My husband accuses me of trying to live under a rock but I need to to stay sane.
Yesterday was the laziest day I have had in a few weeks. I need to go get some groceries and do some laundry today. Then I think I’ll just relax again. It is a rainy miserable day again.
