Sunday July 5
I met my usual goals and now I’m sitting in bed on a train headed to Scotland. Tomorrow, I’ll be reunited with my husband, I’ve not seen him since the end of Feb. He has champagne chilling and other goodies in store. I don’t expect to be in the green tomorrow! I hope my dad will be ok on his own.7 -
Didn't log on early enough today to post goals, but would've been the usual anyway. Starting tomorrow, I work in my actual office every Mon. & Tues. with continuing Covid protocols to follow, and work at home Wed. - Fri. Since I won't take time to post JFT in the morning, thought I would this evening.
JFT M 7/6
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) / 5 somethings
2) Bring lunch/snacks & water bottle (prepped already) / net cals green / 12c water
3) Be productive at work
4) Prep lunch/snacks & water bottle for Tues.
5) Make strawberry muffins
6) At least one home chore (can be minor)
7) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set alarm (maybe x-train before work? not in this habit at all!)
Today was the reopening of services inside my church, with limited attendance, new protocols including wearing masks, and social distancing. Members are encouraged to attend lesser attended services, so I went to 7:45 this morning (not my first choice but thought I could sacrifice some sleep). Saw two of my fellow choir members, who always sat next to me pre-Covid. Strange sitting across the aisle from each other, but so nice to see them again. Absolutely wonderful to have a "real" service with singing again. First time since March 15.
After church I decided dog and I "needed" to walk even though we continue our heat & humidity wave (which I hate). Kept to cul de sacs in neighborhood since I knew there would be shade and lack of options would limit my walking. No need to worry about that. Dog was panting heavily and dragging by 3 miles and I wasn't much better, so we stopped several times under trees, and happily returned the last quarter mile home.
Following my walk, hubby and I decided to order takeout brunch from a favorite local restaurant. After all, I have been cooking quite often lately. Even though dine-in is now an option (with limited, spaced seating) hubby and I have no intention of dine-in anytime soon. Positive Covid cases are spiking again in our state, and the few times I am out in public, I see too many people acting like nothing is going on. We canceled hubby's family annual get together this weekend, and missed my nephew's annual fireworks display (too far to drive anyway). But I did enjoy the Sat. outdoor farmers market (vendors required to mask, most attendees also mask) and have lots of fresh, local produce for the upcoming week. Here's to our health!
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20) / 5.1.20 (forgot 4.30.20) / 6.3.20 (forgot at ME again)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress / reorg in basement June & July1 -

Thu 18: 149.2🤔
Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

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 "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.
Age 62, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
GW #2: 145 normal BMI

I met my usual goals and now I’m sitting in bed on a train headed to Scotland. Tomorrow, I’ll be reunited with my husband, I’ve not seen him since the end of Feb. He has champagne chilling and other goodies in store. I don’t expect to be in the green tomorrow! I hope my dad will be ok on his own.
Hi @ZizzyBumble, I’m in Scotland too! Welcome back! I’m sorry it sounds like you’re torn between two places right now.
And congrats @merope2 on your weight loss, it’s been nice to see another newbie on here, starting out with the logging. I think I’m also pretty much back to where I was pre-lockdown, but there’s still some weight to lose...
It’s my first week off in ages, and my daily goals are still: log everything, stay in the green, get to bed on time. Not the most rock and roll holiday, but hey!

- Log everything🟢
- stay green - Sat🔴 Sun🟢
- Exercise🟢
- Fence project 🟢
- Clean house🔴
- Plan girls bday party🟢
- No chips!🟢
I think this “no chip challenge” is working. I lost 2 lbs this week, and I very rarely have a 2lb drop! The chips are normally just wasted calories for me It’s been easier staying green without that extra 150ish cals everyday.
JFT MONDAY:
- Log everything / Stay green
- Exercise
- No chips!
- Fence project (still more to do...)
- Clean! - house is getting out of control
- Meal plan/food prep
JULY CHALLENGE:
In an attempt to refocus this month, I’ve decided to try and give up chips. This will be extremely difficult. I eat them almost daily. They are my weakness. I’m using a bikini as my emoji, since that will be a goal for next summer!

JFT, 7/5/20
- Post
- Fold and put away clean clothes
- Weigh-in(I know it's going to be crap but I have to be consistent)I just completely forgot until like midday and by then it was too late to get an accurate reading.
- Finish one scene
- Make shopping list
Kinda? I need to add more to it today. I'm going shopping tomorrow.
So we discovered that Panda has fleas. We live at the shore so most of the area is covered in sand which is the breeding ground for sand fleas. He isn't an outdoor cat so I guess we must have brought them in on our shoes or something. They are really common in this area. So I ran to the store yesterday and picked up flea shampoo and flea home spray to kill them on furniture and floors and things. He did great when I bathed him yesterday. There was no crying and he didn't try to claw me. I mean, he didn't enjoy it but there was no harm done. Panda is still scratching so probably tomorrow I'm going to give him another bath and spray down the house again. The house smells nice though. The scent of the spray is cloves. Lol. I just hope that Panda feels better soon. It breaks my heart to see him so uncomfortable.
I managed to get that one scene done yesterday. It was more of copy, pasting, and tweaking but it's done. That's the last bit that will be like that. The rest of the story will be fresh out of my head. Lol. I'm excited for it. Honestly, I think that might be my only goal real goal for the day. I need to get back into the actual swing of writing. Most of what I've done the last few days can be considered editing.
Okay, enough of my ramblings!
JFT, 7/6/20
- Post
- Finish at least one scene
- Figure out dinner
That's it for today I think.

Have a blessed day y’all!
Yesterday was a good day though I forgot I was going to do household chores. Luckily hubby picked up the laundry bit while i went shopping. Spent a little one on one time with my youngest at lunch and shopping, it was very nice, but man she talks a lot. I figure at 15 its good she talks to me at all, so I always listen. After that I went for a short, but fast bike ride. At least it was fast for me right now. It was only 13 miles, but I averaged a little over 16 mph. I was happy with that for now. When I got home, I decided to go for a walk, and I thought maybe I'd try to walk a little faster than usual I dropped my average mile time on my 3.5 mile route from 17:30 to 17:10. Mind you this is not a flat course. Then I came home and made a sweat angel in the garage. After that, left over pizza and a movie.

@SERmom3 - I managed to get Saturday and Sunday in with no chips, this was an accomplishment as I was really craving them. I wonder if there is something in them that makes them a bit addictive? I did have two of the small cans of coke at 90 calories each. I'll kill one craving at a time I guess.
@HEGoddard0928 - I grew up in an area that did not have sand fleas and I didn't really know anything about them. The summer my eldest daughter was 18 months old I went to Nova Scotia with my cousin who had been visiting in New Brunswick for a couple of months. We arrived at her house around 1030 pm, we set Lauryn, my daughter, on the floor while we unloaded the car. We came back in and she was covered with fleas! I had no idea what they were, my cousin did right away. We picked Lauryn up stripped her and left the house. We went to her parents my Aunt and Uncle's. We had to strip on the back deck before we were allowed in the house.
It was a long day, that had started very early in the morning. Lauryn also had diarrhea the whole trip because I made her bottle from unfamiliar water so we had gone to emergency before going to the house to begin with. I was pregnant with Kaitlyn and was exhausted!
@pridesabtch - I had a chatty daughter too, Lauryn. She still is chatty and I love that she includes me in her life.
Three of you from Scotland, I would love to visit there someday.
I should get to work.

Lol.. Scotland is probably a 4 or 6 hour drive I reckon from me.. and I've never been!
What I love about the USA is that most people don't mind travelling long distance and even over different states and stuff which most of them are bigger than the UK to start with. But to us.. anything over an hour or so is a "long drive" lmao!!2 -
Just for today:
👏🏽Stay within my calorie budget
👏🏽Walk for at least 30 minutes
👏🏽Take my meds and supplements on time
👏🏽Water! Drink water when I am reminded (I have reminders in my phone but sometimes I just dismiss them without drinking 💦

I'm feeling very lucky today!
Ash upgraded his phone contract so he could have a new one and i can use his old one since I broke mine 2 months ago.
He got the new Samsung S20 and I got his old OnePlus 6. Which is a very good android phone, as good as Samsung but not a Samsung if that makes sense. Basically just not a the top brands
Anyway, another phone arrived today.. the Samsung S20 Ultra. So I was like wtf? Turns out that the first phone he got was actually for me as a secret
so I have the S20 now and he has the ultra
Considering I broke 4 phones last year, he's either very stupid or loves me an effing lot haha
Or maybe because I didn't nag at him to share his for 2 months, I dunno lol
The funny thing is.. since I had no phone for like 2 months.. I don't even know how I used to spend so much time on it lmao. Nowadays I pick it up, look at it and put it down like wtf should i do on it haha.
Oh also, this was surprising, in the 2 months I was MIA, I've lost a total of 15lbs (from start weight) and I think maybe 8 over the 2 months!!
So a nice little victory for me aswell health wise!!
Hope everyone else is doing good x

Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.

got way too involved with yardwork. hips, lower back both are killing me ... hate trying to get up cause it hurts so darn much. then, hate to sit down ... same reason. got a lot done, but should know better at my age. I'd been pacing myself pretty well initially. for some reason on Sunday, just kept going. this old body is letting me know it did not appreciate it!!!
Have a great day Y'all !! 🌞3 -
@merope2 congrats on your loss thus far; you'll get rid of the Jan-Mar as well I'm sure!!
@HEGoddard0928 hand-held recorders will be perfect. I'll be he'll enjoy telling his stories as will your Mom.
@clicketykeys I always insisted on cold, cold water or over ice. Now, since I'm trying to drink so much more, I seem to prefer straight from the tap or room temperature. go figure ...
@ZizzyBumble How exciting!! I hope your reunion exceeds being as wonderful as you've dreamed it to be!
@cschmitz110515 I know what you mean. I used to go to dine-in restaurants 3-4 times per week. Now, even though they are really strict about distancing, masks, etc I'm still leery. I've gone to breakfast only twice and an evening meal just once in the last 4 weeks. I do curbside pickup once a week to help support local eateries.
@TerriRichardson112 -- saw this in your post 🌷Finish/edit/print DGSs Birthday Project. Does this mean your done? almost done? Whoooo Hoooo!!
@fairy_daisy Your goals sound like good ones to me. I was a bit bummed about no celebration ... until I watched some on the news and realized I'd be really paranoid out in a crowd like that, at a beach like that, at a bar like that, at .... whatever!! I'll stay home where I'm safer and keep my loved ones safer by not getting exposed and bringing something home. It's such a crazy world right now. Keep safe!!
@SERmom3 Yea You!! It's really hard to give up something you crave so much so give yourself a BIG pat on the back!!
@pridesabtch Since I buy meat in such small quantities, I also go to our local meat market. I can buy one or two pork chops, 4 slices bacon, 1/4 lb hamburger, etc. They get their meat from local Amish and Mennonite families and do their own butchering. Wonderful flavorful meats. I especially like the chicken because they are very plump and moist. They also get fresh caught fish from the Great Lakes that's very tasty. I really like being able to support local businesses and farmers. And, we do have a really great Farmer's Market on Saturday and Wednesday.

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 call to schedule cleaning. PCP July 15 10:30. 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. Dinners?
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?
WFTY: Progress.1 -
@cesse47 Almost done. I want to wrap it up by the weekend.
🤓 The problem with proofreading/editing is that I keep adding in bits. Still have a few photos to add,1 -
@clicketykeys 😍 Your plans/ideas are so useful for reminding me of the basics of writing.
[Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts./i]
👍🏻 This sounds like a fascinating topic.
Your students are so lucky to have you as their tutor.1 -
I’m still here with the sameness holiday goals - log everything, stay in the green, get to bed on time. I sort of met my goals yesterday but it wasn’t great. I had a super long walk back from dropping my car at the garage, but discovered how scarily easy it is to eat back all those extra calories I’d earned. I’ll try to be a bit more mindful of my eating today.4

Chatty children are a blessing Once my younger son learned to talk, he just didn't stop. Now as adults, both sons still talk to me a lot, it's lovely.
@Bex953172 , you are so right about our British idea of a 'long journey' lol. When my sons were small I'd take them on holiday to the coast 2 and a half hours away. It was a 'Big Trip' and required a stop for a picnic I think sitting in a car is just boring. I imagine if @Snowflake1968 was only 4 hours from Scotland she'd be there next weekend lol.
@cesse47 , I could have written your post! Yesterday was the first properly dry day for a while, and I overdid it in the garden. Now I'm in so much pain, back, hips, legs...so any easy day needed today. When will I learn to pace myself properly, I always assume that I'll be okay, and I'm not. Hope you feel better today.littleblackskirt wrote: »

Hey guys... I’ve been off for a bit and boy do I need to hit reset.. we went on vacation and the good part is the girls and I have had a great time. Plenty of beach time, some kayaking, lots of chilling, a neat close encounter with a alligator and way too much food. I have been in the red for more than a week. Drank a couple beers every day and made dumb food choices. Well today I’m getting back to it. We will be driving back home later today. Sara suggested I get one last ride in so I’m gonna take her up on that. Gonna do a fasting fat burner on just coffee. The end of this month is the Off road attack on mount Mitchell. It’s my personal Tour de France. 60 mile race, 10000 feet of climbing. Some of the most amazing sites and fun riding but also a total mind F%$k, as one of the climbs is a nine mile climb on an old state road rewarded w five more miles on the blue ridge parkway which also is mostly climbing. Then a mile hike s bike up what seems like a game trail.. this is just s portion of the race. Some of it feels like a death march at times.
Anyway this is my 6th year doing it and I was/am on track to do my best ever. I feel like I’ve lost s little ground this week but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think I can’t regain in two weeks what I lost in one.
Reboot goals for Tuesday
Fasting bike ride
No beer (starting my sacrifice to the bike gods today) won’t be having any beer till after the mt Mitchell race
Stay green, actually aiming for 500 calorie deficit
Fruit for snacks
No cookies
Stay positive

Some of the most amazing sites and fun riding but also a total mind F%$k, as one of the climbs is a nine mile climb on an old state road rewarded w five more miles on the blue ridge parkway which also is mostly climbing. Then a mile hike s bike up what seems like a game trail.. this is just s portion of the race. Some of it feels like a death march at times.
I've had a number of friends do Mount Mitchell. Some in the race, some on their own. Death march seems an appropriate description. You've got this!2
