    Friday:
    - complete a couple of computer tasks I’ve been putting off 🔴
    - organize music for the weekend🟢
    - water - more than yesterday🟢
    - Stay green🟢
    - Walk 🟢
    - Pick up one piece of trash while out🟢
    - Dishes🟢
    - Laundry🟢
    - Grocery shop🟢

    Yesterday was pretty productive. It was so cold, but I got my butt out there and went for a long walk. I was wrapped up like a mummy! I’m trying to get out as long as the sidewalks are safe. We’re supposed to get snow and rain tonight so not sure how many more chances I’ll have to walk outside this winter. I really hate the treadmill. ☹️

    JFT Saturday:
    - go for a walk
    - Pick up one piece of trash while out
    - Complete computer tasks
    - Work with DH to set 2020 budget goals
    - Water
    - Music rehearsal
    - food prep a few meals
    - Dishes
    - More laundry
    - Organize shoes in the basement (with 3 girls, I always have hand-me-downs ready for the next girl. I need to re-organize my bins by size and season)

    Hooray for the weekend!

    -water goal :smiley:
    -log food :smiley:I ate like total crap but at least I logged it all. Lol
    -insta hours :smiley:Did two orders and only made $17. The second order never tipped me :rage: So that sucked but at least I got some money, right? It was only 2.5 hours of work and it helped me hit my step goal.
    -clean kitchen table and fold clothes/put away :smiley::neutral:Cleaned off the table and folded the clothes but they are still sitting on the table. Lol.
    -bring charger to school :smiley:Did this but I didn't need it. Lol. I kept it in the car so I could keep my phone charged during my insta shifts though and of course, I left it in there overnight. Lol
    -gym :smiley:Finally! Lol. And I did a good workout. I walked for 30 minutes and didn't even notice since I was engrossed in my book. I'm almost at the climax so I'm going to finish it tomorrow when I got to the gym again I think. Lol
    -CHAPTER 22 :smiley:Also finally! I've figured out that if I write 5 chapters a week I'll meet my goal of finishing it by March 1st. So I wrote one yesterday and I'm going to write two today and two tomorrow.
    -empty/fill/run dishwasher :smiley:ALSO FINALLY! Lol. Now I just have to empty it again. Lol

    I got a lot done yesterday! I hit every one of my goals. That's a huge step in the right direction! Lol. I feel like that never happens! I'm hoping I can do the same today although today's goals are a bit more ambitious. So we'll see. It's supposed to snow today and I have some insta hours coming up at 11. I looked at the forecast and it says that it's only supposed to flurry during my hours and pick up after I'm done. So hopefully it stays that way. Matt's going to be driving home from work in the thick of it though. Pray that he stays safe and makes it home okay, please. We're getting the leftovers of the storm that hit the Midwest the other day. We're only supposed to get a little bit of snow and then it'll turn to rain and ice. I have mixed feelings about that. I love it if we get one good snow a year. We haven't had that yet and it looks like we probably won't. It's been pretty warm here all Winter. We had a few days earlier in the week that were in the high 50's. The average here is between 35-40 this time of year. It felt amazing but definitely not seasonable.

    I have to go to the cabin today and pick up the rest of the canned goods that I left down there. I want to make one of my meals that Matt can't eat while he's at work. It makes a whole bunch of leftovers that I want to bring to work for lunches. Hopefully I'll be able to do that. I'll probably have to get the key to the front door from Mom. She locks it when she's not there and I doubt she'll be working down there today.

    Okay, enough chatter. Lol. Time for some goals!

    JFT, 1/18/20

    -Water goal
    -Instacart hours 11-3
    -Chapter 23-24

    Fitbit exercise goals :)

    First day this year that I’ve seen a drop in my Happy scale moving average :) Now I need to keep going in the right direction.

    Sunday Jan 20

    I’m catching up after a large start

    Today’s goals are the same as usual and some have already been met.

    I’ve met today’s goals and the scale had dropped again this morning. :)

    I hope you’ve all had a good weekend.

    Woke up feeling under pressure this morning as I had groups both morning and afternoon. I adjusted my exercise expectations, and felt less stressed. Sometimes you have to just go with the flow.

    Another New day! Another opportunity to achieve great things, one step at a time.

    The only failure is giving up!

    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I 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.
    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.
    1. 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.
    2. 04 Jan: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas > 5 chapters per week
    3. 12 Jan: finished chapter 18, so well ahead of goal.
    4. 13 Jan: finished my 1st book: Will start the 2nd tomorrow
    5. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman
    7. 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.
    8. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    9. 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.
    10. 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.
    11. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.

    My day came out pretty much as expected...
    Had hoped to have 500 calorie green margin, thanks to the beer and dinner w friends that didn’t happen. I did however stay in the green, burn over 1000 calories on trainer and budget my intake so that I stayed w/in goal even though I ate probably 2900 calories for dinner 🤢
    Not a healthy way to live or get good performance from this body of mine but I do feel just a little less guilty.

    Tomorrow back on track. Have the day off so can do some serious caloric redemption

    Goals:
    at least 500 calorie in the green
    Sufferfest and then a beach body (need to add some resistance training)
    No beer
    Drink at least 2 liters of water

    Monday weigh-in/accountability:
    Original starting weight: 180lbs
    Last week’s weight: 142.2
    Today’s weight: 141.0

    Getting so close to my original goal of 140lbs!!

    Sunday:
    - workout 🟢
    - Stay in the green🟢
    - Pick up one piece of trash while out🟢
    - Complete computer tasks🔴
    - Work with DH to set 2020 budget goals🔴
    - Water🟢
    - Sing for 3 masses🟢
    - Dishes🟢
    - Organize shoes in the basement🟢

    The town plows the main sidewalks, so I figured I’d try for a walk yesterday. The plow doesn’t get all the way to the pavement, so I’m still walking through snow. It was a much more difficult workout. It’s like walking in the sand, where your feet slip back with every step. It was way more exhausting than normal!

    Kids don’t have school today. We’re going to go to a local performance to celebrate MLK.

    JFT Monday:
    - workout
    - Stay in the green
    - Pick up one piece of trash while out
    - Complete computer tasks
    - Water
    - Review music for rehearsal tonight
    - Dishes
    - Organize oldest daughter’s drawers
    - Laundry
    - Dinner at the dining room table

    Happy to see so many of you crushing goals last week! Hope we can all continue it this week!!

    Happy Monday! Today's a school holiday, so I'll be going out to do something with the grandkids. Not sure about goals. I didn't set any yesterday, and I'm not feeling particularly motivated to set any today.

    I also didn't log or really even try to moderate what I ate yesterday. Not a binge, but I just ate what I wanted without measuring or counting calories. I'm hoping I just need two or three days off and then will be able to get back on track.

    On the up side, yesterday I had a lovely walk with my eldest grandson in the woods near my house. I also read the last 3 chapters in How Learning Works. Glad that's out of the way.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    TY for daily accountability. I’m at my highest weight & pre-diabetic. Uncomfortable when bending forward due extra flab around stomach. Lower back issues emerging. I can’t exercise this off & my metabolism & muscle mass is on the other side of 50. So it’s time to commit to eating clean & managing stress through self-care.

    Welcome!!!! I could have written this myself. Same issues here! We can do this! :)
