@maryrobinson40 - Thank you! We had a blast playing Laser Tag with the boys! My grandsons (7 and 9) are fierce little competitors and really enjoyed outscoring their parents and grandparents. It was quite a workout, but I think feeling young and cool took the sting out of turning 62 for my husband

@Snowflake1968 - What a coincidence! Mine turned 62. We had a really rough time in our mid-50's, so I'm especially grateful for where we are now. It's not perfect, but we're on the same team again even though the relationship has changed. Hang in there, and take care of yourself

Yesterday I didn’t get the water in, but had more than the day before. I also didn’t log all my food. I took Rodger out for supper for his birthday and made a very poor choice for myself for my meal. When I got home and checked it was 1620 calories. So I ate for today too.
JFT - Sunday January 12
2L of water
Log all food
Our water has frozen, I thought Rodger had plugged the heat tape in earlier in the winter. He hadn’t. It’s plugged in now, hopefully with it turned on for a couple hours that’s enough to get our water running.
I am going to do some cleaning and laundry and I think go into work for a couple hours today. I am so far behind and it’s going to be a long week if I don’t get part of it done today.
@beachwalker99 - I’m glad to hear the rough patch is better now. I always think marriage shouldn’t be like this, but I’m learning that it is. It’s tough and not always happy.6 -

-Watch vision board video
Took a 3 hr nap instead.
-DISHWASHER!!!!Now I just have to unload it again and put the few dishes that didn't fit in yesterday and wait for us to dirty up more. Lol
-Figure out dinnerPork chops and baby potatoes. I started using a new seasoning blend that Matt really likes so he loves when I make them. They come out perfect every time.
-Log all foodI think I may have forgotten to add a bit of butter but oh well. And it was definitely not a pleasant sight. Definitely an ugly food day.
-Aldi tripThe store was pretty quiet when I got there and I was pretty much able to walk right up to a register without having to wait in the crazy lines that usually form.
-Pick 3 ordersThere weren't any available.
-Write Ch 21See above nap.
-JFTYes!
-Walk(it's 65 degrees out in the middle of January! WTH??)Nope. Took that nap instead.
Hey everyone! It's midafternoon here in NJ. Matt and I slept in a little and then took a nice 2-mile walk. It was great to get out in the great weather. It's 66F here...in the middle of January...In the Mid-Atlantic. WTH? Lol.
I took a really awesome nap that I guess I really needed yesterday afternoon. I felt pretty amazing when I woke up. Lol. It also looks like my TOM is over too so that might be why. Lol. But now I can get back to my healthy eating because those crazy munchy cravings should be gone for a while. Lol. Although I've had almost no water today which explains the headache I have right now.
I plan on spending the rest of the day at home doing some things around the house. And then get to bed early for work tomorrow.
So onto goals!
JFT 1/12/20

-Log all my food
-Figure out dinner

That was my eldest daughters birthday lol she's 6 now!4 -
Hello all,
After a few false starts over the last few months I am trying again. My habits have been slipping over the last six months and I want to get back into being healthy and feeling better. I have found so much love and support and encouragement through this group I want to get back to being a regular part of it. I had tried back in November, but my beloved uncle died unexpectedly from suicide and that just gutted me. I was devastated, and the seasonal depression I've been dealing with took over. I haven't been taking care of myself, my home, my furbabies, or those I care about. So I am doing a re-start. I have read through all the posts so far this year, and I'll be "stealing" some ideas I thought were really great. My word of the year will be: PRESENT because I don't feel present in my life. I want to be more mindful and alert, and put the things I learn and know into practice.
My 2020 goals:
1. Get down to AT LEAST halfway to my goal weight (150), I'm at 185 right now, so 167.5.
2. Build a reasonable sleep schedule (I am terrible for staying up late as you all know!)
3. Work less. Right now all of my energy is consumed at work, and I don't have much for me. I end up staying late a lot and being late a lot and I just need better work/life balance.
4. Be mindful. I'm not sure how this will look yet, but I know it's important to me.
5. Get my house put back together. It is a tornado disaster right now.
6. Start spending within my means. As in, not burning through each paycheck. Curse you Target for always having so many things I want but don't need! *angry fist shake*
7. Read one book per month. Someone else had this listed and I thought it was a great goal!
I have joined DietBet for 1/13-2/9 and need to lose just over 7 lbs. (If anyone is interested, I'm happy to share what this is all about). I'll be using the Mayo Clinic Diet over the next month+ (4 weeks strict, and then keeping the general habits). This worked very well for me in the past and I really believe in their philosophy for healthy, practical habits. So here are my goals for today, I plan to check in each evening as that usually works better for me.
Just for Today-Sunday
Stay in the green
Track food, exercise, water, daily goals
80 oz water
Meet daily recs for the 5 food groups
Exercise 30 minutes
Tidy house for 15 minutes

As my penance for being gone so long, I offer you two cute pictures of my furbabies. The white kitty is Jonas, and the brown fluff monster is Gabe.

Today not a good performance..
Coming clean to you guys.
2 and 1/2 beers. Skipped workout.
So pretty much opposite of first two goals. Then was also about 500 calories in the red plus didn’t really drink much water.
So failed on every goal for today ):
My long weeks at work (when I have to work weekend as well) give me a 8 day stretch of high stress mental exhaustion. Not an excuse but makes it tough to work out and care about eating when I’m just happy to be home with the family and watching tv
Tomorrow will be a different day!
Goals Monday 14th
Stay in green
No beer
Tour of swift ( group B extended miles)
More water7 -
Hi again,
Checking in for the day. It feels good to be back on track.
@teigansdad Thank you! He knows he's a handsome boy I have had those days and I am with you for work stress. It just wipes me out. Stay strong, tomorrow is another day!
Just for Today-Sunday
Stay in the green ✅ I need to be careful about going too low, I was close today
Track food, exercise, water, daily goals ✅
80 oz water ✅
Meet daily recs for the 5 food groups ✅
Exercise 30 minutes ✅
Tidy house for 15 minutes-about to do this and then I am DONE for the day.
Just for Today-Monday
Stay in the green
Track food, exercise, water, daily goals
80 oz water

Ok for Sunday...busy with visit to both Grandmas before heading out for business trip.
1. Up at 7, run, 2 reps yoga 😁
2. Healthy small breakfast, no media 😁
3. Shower, get ready for brunch😁
4. Finish packing suitcase😁
5. Put soups in freezer 😁
6. Leave by 0915 😕—left later but made it on time
7. Track all food! 😁
8. Leave for home 1pm😁
9. Doublecheck packing, make sure food and water bottle 😁
10. Leave check for LUZ👿—gotta remind DH
11. Call Uber for 3:30 😑—husband drove me
12. Have salad before leaving, 👿pack 2 oranges😀
13. Water only on flight😀
14. Protein bar & oranges for dinner😑—ordered a salad and chicken sandwich from room service, and yogurt for tomorrow morning
15. Review slides! 😀
Some insights today—I can limit myself (eg just eat chicken out of sandwich, skipping most of the cheese and (yummy!) fried bread) and definitely feel better a few hours later. And I can be flexible but stay on track when all my food plans get rearranged and I have to figure out everything new from restaurants I don’t know. I can do it.
I fee like there’s less to write for tomorrow (Monday) since I’ll be in the structure of an all day meeting with unknown food for lunch and dinner. Here goes...
1. Up at 6, 2 reps of 7minute app, squats, yoga stretches
2. Yogurt, berries, granola (just a little)—no media
3. Leave room 7:20 with food options in bag
4. Log all food! Best guess, take a picture if no time
5. If time between meetings and dinner, walk 30min in Fitness center
8. Journal
9. Bed by 9:30

Didn't lose any weight last week, in fact I gained 0.25lb (so basically I stayed the same).
Not really surprised, I ate well from Mon-Wed but then ate too much from Thu-Sat. Yesterday was reasonable but not good enough to undo Thu-Sat! I think I was complacent, thinking that I still had water weight to lose so that I could eat a bit more and still lose, but apparently not!
This week I will do better!
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green with a deficit
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Go to gym or do exercise DVD
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive
- Finish work by 7pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Do finances
- Read a career development article
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 10.457 -
Another New day! Another opportunity to achieve great things, one step at a time.

The only failure is giving up!

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - UpdatesI definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.Daily Goals
03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.- I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
- 04 Jan: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas > 5 chapters per week
- 13 Jan: finished chapter 18, so well ahead of goal.
- I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
- 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
- I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
- 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
[/list- Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!

Morning!
Monday is my weigh-in day. I’m part of a couple challenge groups, but I’d like to add it here for accountability as well.
Start weight: 180
Last week’s weight: 143.6
Current weight: 142.2
Happy to have lost 1.6lbs. I typically lose pretty slowly, but I’m losing the few pounds I put on over the holidays a little quicker than normal. I’m glad to be on the right track and a tiny bit closer to my original goal of 140.
Sunday:
- church x3 🟢
- DRINK WATER 🟢
- Stay in the green🔴
- Go for a walk 🟢
- Food prep for the week.🟢
I did pretty good yesterday with my goals. I did go over by about 100cals, but I was under all week, so it evens out and I won’t stress about it.
JFT Monday:
- Laundry, laundry, laundry!
- Gotta get new sneakers.Mine are worn out!
- DRINK WATER
- Stay in the green
- Long walk6 -

-Water goalI've hit this every day this year so far!
-Log all my foodI had a weird health thing happen last night. I don't know how to explain it but it completely threw me off my game so I ended up eating everything in the house and left me feeling like crap all night.
-Figure out dinnerLeftover chicken and green beans
-Clean the bathroom
I did a quite pickup/throw out of some things but that was really it. I need to do a much better job sometime soon.
-Write Ch. 21
-Empty/Load the dishwasher
-Laundry2.5 loads done. Not that much to most people but I have to trek it all up the road to my parent's house and wash it there. It was an all-afternoon thing(especially since I totally forgot about it for 2 hours 
).
Morning everyone! How are we all today? I'm doing alright. Had a weird health thing happen to me yesterday. Not sure how to explain it but it's been happening since over the summer. I should probably go talk to my doc but how do you try to explain something that you can't describe what exactly what it feels like?
Anyway, Matt works tonight so I have all afternoon/evening to myself. I love and hate this. I love it because I get time to myself and I hate it because I get lonely. It's just me and Panda. But I do have A LOT that I want to get done today. I know that I probably won't get it all done but it gives me a place to start.
So here are my goals for the day.

-Make a dinner list for the week
-Bring K-cups/milk to school7 -
@jeschepp - Hi! I’m new to the group, but I saw your post about getting your financial life on track and wanted to suggest Dave Ramsey’s baby steps. He has a radio show (also available on podcast). He has several books, but Total Money Makeover is a great place to start to learn budgeting.
I don’t know your history or where you are in life, but for me, I used this method about 4 years ago and got my family out of debt.
He really teaches you how to be INTENTIONAL with your money. It is so, so similar to calorie counting. You have a certain amount to start with (calories or cash) and you need to plan it out before you actually consume/spend it.
Sorry for the long post, but maybe it will help!
Disclaimer: He is an Evangelical Christian. He uses bible verses to reinforce his position. I think you can take it or leave it, if that’s not for you. Just want to give a heads up in case that would put you (or anyone reading this) off.6 -
Hi all! I missed posting yesterday but did meet my goals so I'm happy about that. I'm not sure if I'll have to work late or not so keeping the list short today.

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.

Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases.

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.

WFTY: Progress. I slept through my alarm, but fortunately my husband woke me up. Even so, I was rushed. It's supposed to pour. I packed my shoes but forgot my shirt. Maybe the physical education teacher has a spare that I could use.5 -
Good Morning
I actually made my goals yesterday! First time in a long time.
We had a fun day yesterday with the extreme cold here, first our cold water froze up then after getting that going our furnace quit working. I dread seeing the bill for the furnace repair when it comes in. Hubby was upset about it but it’s not like we could go without. It’s all part of life. I’m just thankful I have a job and will be able to pay it, last year I wouldn’t have.
I will go back tonight to catch up. I am at work and want to get a head start on my long day ahead.
JFT- Monday January 13
Today I will:
Drink 2l of water
Log all food10 -
SW: 1/1/20: 168.2
GW: 163.2
CW: 1/6/20: 166.4
1/7/20: 165.4 (false low from blood donation)
1/8/20: 164.8
1/9/20: 164.0 (I'm sure this week is just loss of water weight, but it's still nice to see)
1/10/20: 164.0
1/13/20: 165.8 - some water weight I'm sure from eating out Fri, Sat
Loss: 2.4 lb
Happy Monday y'all!
The weekend was a bit of a bust for me. I didn't exercise, I didn't really log and I ate too much. Not surprising, my weight is up today. I figure a pound is true weight and a pound is water weight. We'll see. All in all I'm still happy with a 2.4 pound loss over the nearly 2 week period, even though I know it could be better.
I was just lazy Saturday, but yesterday I didn't feel well and slept most of the day away. A shame really, because it was beautiful out yesterday. Slightly overcast, but high in the upper 60's, very uncharacteristic for January in WV, I could have ridden outside if I'd felt better.
Feeling better today, but didn't get up early to spin so I will need to do it when I get home. I find that incredibly difficult, but I need to get over it.
JFT Monday
- Take girls to apply for Passports Yes, but hubby needs to be there too for the youngest. If they are under 16 you need both parents and the child present. Looks like another day where I'll be late for work and she'll be late for school.

My word for 2020 is CLIMBING:
Climbing out of depression into the life I want to experience. Healthy, fit & fun.
Climbing on my bike. I will get up the back side of Huck this summer!
Climbing on that spin back 4-5 days a week until I can get outside.
Climbing to reach my goals without letting my pride stop me.

Good morning All!!!!
This weekend was very busy for me! Hubby came back home from working out of town. We spent the weekend getting all the family stuff dealt with and the prep / packing for him to go again yesterday. He will be doing this schedule for the rest of the month so I'll probably be a M-Sat JFT
To all the ladies inquiring about my little guy:
Last year was the year of adjusting to his breathing treatment needs after his surgery. We learned a lot and know for sure harvest season agitates his breathing. (It has that affect on my asthmatic kiddo also so not too surprising.) He did attempt to start Montessori school last week but the director wasn't comfortable with him yet. She feels that he needs another month to adjust. (This is also understandable sorta bc he has been playing catch up in the development area due to his medical set backs.) Even though it was disappointing that the Montessori school "gave up" on day 2, this only motivated ME to homeschool him to the point he surpasses those other kiddos!!! So now, once again, I have to postpone my graduation date and take a distance learning course. The plan is to try Montessori school again in June but try a part time schedule to adjust him. Then in August he will go fulltime and hopefully I can knock out the last two semester's for my Bachelor's degree, Lol!! There is plenty of positive in this new adjustment and little man needs me right now which is more important!!
