    The power is back on! I’ve been on a plateau for several months. I’ve had to take a hard look at my eating and activity level. I reassessed my calorie goal and I hope this helps. I did log everything yesterday but that was the only goal I hit.

    JFT
    Log everything ✅
    Only eat one serving
    Eat an afternoon snack so I’m not starving after work
    Aerobic exercise ✅

    I didn’t eat an afternoon snack but I did eat a more substantial lunch so I was able to make better choices for dinner.

    JFT

    Log everything
    Only eat one serving
    Aerobic exercise ✅
    Forgive myself for the Halloween candy I’m sure to eat✅

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃

    JFT
    Aerobic exercise already done!!!✅
    Log everything
    Eat only one serving

    Well, only that one goal was met.

    @TiffanyPe17 i feel you about the scale. I’ve been weighing daily and it mostly depresses me. I don’t know if I can go a whole month but I am going to try once a week. I’m also going to try going back to the gym. I’ve been scared so we’ll see how I feel after.

    JFT
    Log everything ✅
    Eat only one serving
    Aerobic exercise
    ✅

    I went back to the gym and I can see why I’ve gained back some weight. There’s no comparison between me doing some low impact aerobics and using the elliptical. I felt the difference immediately. It was a great stress reliever as well.

    JFT
    log everything
    Eat one serving at a time
    Go to the gym
    Don’t get on the scale until Monday

    @sviers13 i know the struggle, I had to hide my scale from myself and I still wanted to go pull it out numerous times yesterday. I think I have unintentionally developed a very unhealthy habit by weighing in every day. I’m hoping I can make the entire month 🤞🏻

      Still not really up to making goals, but I am going to start being more active on MFP. Hopefully, this habit will lead to other good habits.

      @acrylicfox Your vitamins was my dishes before I moved. The other women can tell you! I fought with myself every day about doing the dishes! It was a source of many laughs! Now I have a dishwasher and it's only slightly better. Lol

      So a pretty good day yesterday! I got a lot done AND our furnace FINALLY works. It's been more than a year. I love my father but he's a pretty crappy landlord. At least to his daughter. Lol. Hopefully this year we won't have an outrageously high electric bill like we did last winter.

      It's 9:38 and I've been awake since about 6:30. Thank you Panda. But now it's time to actually get stuff done I guess. Lol

      Last night I stress ate b/c anxious about election, our country, high numbers of Covid cases in my state & work stresses for hubby. I hadn't done that most of this pandemic, but I kind of broke. I need to keep reminding myself of Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

      Yesterday I went home midday to work since painters showed up to paint all trim around doors and windows. We are having a stretch of warm weather (temps in upper 60s, very unusual for Nov.) & painters took advantage to finish our contract. I won't have to wear winter layers to walk dog rest of week, and I will enjoy that while I can. Last year this time, I was forced to walk on basement treadmill b/c we already had snow/ice on the ground.

      2020 Goals:
      1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19) 10.31.20 159.0#
      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) / 6.30.20 / 8.6.20 (forgot July 31 & crazy schedule) / 8.31.20 / 9.30.20 / forgot 10.31.20 measurements but happy w/ w-i 159.0 finally below 160
      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 on 1.10.20 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 on 2.8.20 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race on 4.2.20 w/ dog 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5.2.20 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 on 6.6.20 w/ dog 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace" / Hope Isn't Canceled virtual 10K on 8.29.20 w/ dog 1:43:10 ave. pace 16:36 / Packers 5K virtual race 9.26.20 w/ dog 52:23 ave. pace 16:41 / Bellin Women's 5K virtual race 10.10.20 w/ dog 52:55 ave. pace 16:57 / virtual Run for the Hill of It 5K on 10.16.20 w/ dog 50:35 ave. pace 16:16
