I am feeling better this morning after a much better nights sleep. I also noticed that, according to my Fitbit, my heart rate had been higher than usual whilst I was feeling ill and it’s now back to normal. I’m hungry as well!
Log 😊
Stay in the green 😊
5 fruit and veg 😊
Water 😊
Fitbit exercise goals - no but will do something other than flopping around all day 😊 I felt so much better that I met them.
Happy Scale weight trend ⬇️ 1.2kg lost in last 7 days but that’s because I’ve not been eating much!

Meh
For Saturday, make it another good day. They feel good.
1900 calories: 3508
80 minutes of exercise: 88 including a 2.63 mile exercise walk
Make good choices: Had the day well in hand until after dinner.
Support my bride in every way: Doing well other than taking care of myself
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. Don’t eat on the couch. @Snowflake1968 your suggestion is valid and appreciated. I feel like I should be able to walk overcome the habit of eating on the couch but you’ve brought up the old definition of insanity; doing the same thing time and again and expecting different results. Simple, elegant recommendation and I will move where I sit: Ate dinner at the table and then nope and nope
For Sunday new day. If something doesn’t work, do something new. If that doesn’t work, do something new. If that didn’t work do something new.
1900 calories:
Work out for 25 minutes:

Just for today,
•stay keto
•maybe get in a walk with my girls
•Online church
Keto is working great for me, I have actually been able to get into some of my old clothes and button/zip them up! They are wearable, just a bit tight so I have to keep pushing on. It’s super encouraging though because I could never get back into my clothes after I had my oldest.5 -

It’s been very quiet on here, I hope you are all ok.2 -
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 63, 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
UG maintain: 145 - 150 (need to be realistic)

Quiet weekend at home enjoying time with hubby. Only left house for farmers market & quick errand yesterday & church today. Crappy weather, cool, cloudy, rainy & windy, so decided no dog walks. Also spent very little time online so no posting JFT. Would've been the usual anyway. I'll post again on Monday a.m. Have a great evening, everyone!2

It was a very busy weekend .. mostly sewing. Trying to finish up a xmas quilt to put on our couch. Then I found out my niece is going to be a grandma again .. and as before, the father is not in the picture, so she will now be raising 2 grandchildren without any help. And she has so many health problems herself. Her daugher, who was adopted from India, also has many mental problems... so its a sad story. But this little baby boy, due in december, still deserves all the love. So this weekend I got a quilt finished for them... and once the baby is born will embroider his name and date, and send it off to my niece. Always makes me appreciate so very much the many blessings I have.. so many others with so many problems. But I told my niece ... little babies bring so much joy, no matter the circumstances.Front of quilt. I started this many years ago, and was not happy with the colors, but since I am in a time crunch.. hubby thought it looked OK.. so going with it. I just hope she likes it.
This is the back ... I will put the babies name on when finished
Picture is kinda dark ... but this will go on our couch for xmas.
Both quilts are not quite finished yet .. still have to finish the FMQ and put on binding.
Goals for Monday, 11/16
1. log all food
2. concentrate on drinking water -- aim for 8+ cups
3.watch inner thoughts ... I CAN get this weight off and feel better.
4. apple in the evening .. and water
5. plan meals for the week ... and stick to them
6. light lunches. When I eat breakfast so late, which we do because I walk 6 miles in the morning, I do not need a large lunch. This was how I lost before ... do it again
7. get back on here. Be accountable

Right, it's Monday morning and I'm getting back on that horse! Completely fed up of seeing the scales slowly going in the wrong direction. I don't want to lose what I've achieved this year. The stone I've lost so far has taken me from feeling fat to looking better. The next stone will make me feel slim
My back injury is slowly improving, although I still have a lot of sciatic pain (that's my "normal"). I will keep trying to do a daily walk and build up time slowly. I'm going to start logging again today as it focusses my mind. I gave away all the cake that was left last night
JFT Monday 16th November
Log everything
Stay in the green
Do some back exercises
30 minute walk
30 minutes tidying garden
30-60 minutes admin, finding doing a small bit of my parents admin every day makes it easier
Positive thoughts - I can do it!

Not a bad day. Didn't feel like I did much but looking back now I guess I actually got a lot done. Lol.
Back to school this morning. Not excited. Our governor left it up to the individual school districts to decide if they should close or not but we just got a new high in cases as a state yesterday so I can't imagine we're going to stay open much longer.
We've already had 5 cases in the school and the gen ed students have only been back for 4 days! It's insane. There's a school board meeting on Wednesday and we're all hoping that they close us down next week. The other Paras and I were thinking that we might be closed down until at least the middle of January. I don't know. I just hope this doesn't turn into another Spanish Flu, where many more people died the second time around.
Okay, onto some goals.

Work out for 80 minutes Average an hour a day and hit 13.5 exercise miles for the week:

Well, I’ve gained back 20lbs that worked hard as heck to lose. I know a lot of that is due to COVID because I’d stopped going to the gym. I know the biggest reason is what I’m eating though.
So, just for today

Log it before eating it
Be aware of portions
Exercise 30 minutes

Hi all. Just checking in to let y’all know I’m still around. I’ve been really struggling to communicate with people. It’s like I just have nothing to say. I’m back to working from home 3 days a week, which is nice, but it doesn’t help me be social. Hubby I’d working long hours with a big project at work so he isn’t home either. Anyway, I hope you are all happy and healthy.
JFT Monday
- take morning meds
- Morning meeting
- Laundry
- Take kid to play practice, not forget her night. Parenting fail last night, lost track of time and was late for pickup.
- Maybe Pot Roast for dinner
- Take evening meds
Have a great day y’all!6 -

@mytime6630 - beautiful quilts!
@littleblackskirt - It's nice that your back is feeling a bit better.
@HEGoddard0928 - The cases are soaring here in our province too, it's quite scary.
@sviers13 - I think Covid eating managed to get a lot of us.
@pridesabtch - Happy to see you post.
I had such an enjoyable weekend with my girls, we spent the night at Kaitlyn's Saturday night after decorating her house for Christmas in the afternoon. We then watched a Christmas movie, but truthfully I slept through most of it.
Yesterday after I got home I hung some Christmas lights on our deck to start to get us in the mood for Christmas.
Going to be a long stressful week I think, so will try to keep my emotional eating under control.

30-60 minutes admin, finding doing a small bit of my parents admin every day makes it easier yes, did around 2 hours as I wasn't outside
Positive thoughts - I can do it! yes, I will do it
I've realised it's only 9 weeks until my "big" birthday. My original hope had been to have reached my goal by then, it won't happen, but I want to be closer to it. I haven't seen any of my extended family since my last birthday. I don't expect to see them this birthday either, I expect we won't be allowed to meet up until later in the year (and sitting outside in Scotland in January is chilly lol) but I'm thinking how lovely it would be to be 30/35 pounds lighter when I finally see them again I will do it!
JFT Tuesday 17th November
Log everything
Stay in the green
Do some back exercises
30 minute walk? Weather is even worse than yesterday

Admin, do long phone call, banking
Sell parents cars today
Wait in for a parcel
Not sure how I'm going to juggle going out to bank, walk, selling cars with waiting in, but I'm sure it will work out.
