Neglected to update my Monday weigh in. Lost .4, flat for the month. Monday was a god day on all fronts
For Monday: I want to be healthy. Want to have a long life and enjoy retirement with my bride. I need to eat better and exercise more to make this happen.
1800 calories. Average 1950 for the week: 1440. Low but two day average is still high
Work out for 80 minutes Average an hour a day and hit 13.5 exercise miles for the week: 88 minutes including a 2.57 mile exercise walk
Support my bride. Do the little things unprompted and without expecting acknowledgement: Easy to do
Eat dinner at the table, unplugged. Catch up on my why on the couch: Done and done. Worked in a non exercise stroll with my bride after dinner. Dark and cold but still a highlight of the day
Train the dog daily:Clipper training, making progress
For Tuesday, it’s an office day. Stick to the plan.
1900 calories. Keep the well in average below 1950:
No workout commitment. Finish the week at an hour a day average:
Support my bride. Look g at a big lifestyle shift at her request:

I feel like I should be doing more exercise but I just don't feel up to it at the end of the day right now,
I'm steadily (if slowly) reducing in weight every week but can't shake this guilt that I'm not "working it off" with exhaustive amounts of exercise as they do on tv, like on The biggest loser

@littleblackskirt - I hope you figure out a way to wait in and sell the car.... I'm not sure how but I bet you'll figure it out.
@sermom3 - Saw you just short of your walking goal yesterday, it reminded me of a Geico commercial I saw last night. It is a lady sitting on a park bench telling everyone she got her steps in 40,000. People are looking at her as if she's crazy. It then flashes to her dog, she has put her tracker device on the dog's tail and is throwing a ball for the dog. I laughed way too hard at that commercial last night.
@zizzybumble - I would like to be able to say that I'm going out of this year the same as I started, but I don't think it will happen. I think my weight was 185 on January 1st, I am currently 194.8. It's coming off very slowly. I am finding it very difficult this year at work and at home.
@acrylicfox - I absolutely loved the Biggest Loser, and tried to do what they did to lose weight a few times. It worked, I lost. I learned though that it is not possible to keep up over the long haul and losing slowly is healthier and much more sustainable. I slowly lost 25lbs in 2018-2019 and felt so much better, easier to keep up with not killing myself exercising and I felt it was very sustainable. My injury in July last year made me gain back about 10lbs. Then my stress eating since March of this year made me gain back 15lbs. I am slowly doing what I did before and starting to lose again.
Well I am at work and it's starting out to be a stressful day as our phones aren't working properly.

School was a nightmare again today. I can't wait to finally be done. The stress is driving me insane.
Has anyone heard about an app called Noom? I've seen ads for it but never actually tried it until last night. It has a two week free trial. It's basically learning the psychology of losing weight. I did a bunch of lessons and it's really pretty cool. The actual price is kinda steep but I talked it over with Matt and he said that I could sign up after the trial period is over because I have the new job. So I'm excited for that too! There's a huge thing about online group support too. And like a goal coach and things. I have a feeling I'm going to really benefit from it. So I'll let you know how it goes but I'll still be coming back here so don't worry about that.

@mytime6630 Beautiful quilts! Do you do your own FMQing? Do you have a longarm or a special machine for it? I haven't tackled anything besides stitch in the ditch for mine yet, but just bought a free motion quilting foot for my machine and am nervous to try it!
Good morning from blustery Wisconsin! I've been taking my dog for a walk the past 3 days, but I'm already cringing at the thought of going out into this cold today. It may be a longgggggggggg winter, folks! 🥶
Just for Tuesday:- No BS 24H Plan and Assess 🌞Done
- 30 minutes of intentional activity
- 64+ oz of water
- No BS Journal
- Eat the frog - just pick a task and get 'er done!

Thanks Tracie... yes, I do my own FMQ. I just don't want to spend the money for what they want to do it. I have a Singer sewing machine .. so nothing fancy, actually a $150.00 machine! It took me a LONG time to get the hang of it .. I practiced so much. But once you figure it out.. it is very easy and fun to do (except for the big king size quilts!). They say when practicing to drink some wine to stay relaxed 2 -

Huh...I like this hobby more and more all the time! LOL! I'm going to practice on some scrap fabric this week because I have a couple lap quilts I want quilted. I hope I don't screw them up!1 -

- 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!
Yesterday was the epidemy of crazy... Luckily my goals were simple and achievable.
Worked from home while kids did remote school. Tim left at 6:00am to work shutdown. After work/school. Sierra went to work (4:00-10:00). I did laundry, made a pot roast and took V to theater practice in Marietta (6:30-9:30) where she mentioned that she had a math test tomorrow, and she didn’t understand any of it. Still no sighting of Tim. I picked V up at 9:30, home around 10:00. Tim just got home and showered. Sierra got home at 10:15. Then we sat down for dinner at 10:30. Crazy! Then at 11:00, I sat down to work on math with my exhausted daughter. Luckily, I’m pretty good at math, but I don’t remember discriminates. Normally, I’d look it up, but it was late and she was beyond done. Her test isn’t until 8th period. We’ll figure it out... Morning came awfully early today.
Hope y'all aren't as scattered as I feel.4 -

Stay in the green maybe not, but under maintenance
Do some back exercises some
30 minute walk? Weather is even worse than yesterday 35 minutes
30 minute tidying garden 40 minutes
Admin, do long phone call, banking banking yes, dropped the phone call, ran out of time
Sell parents cars today yes
Wait in for a parcel yes
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.
The day worked out well, I combined walk and banking early, and got back in time for the delivery. That gave me the afternoon to empty the 2 cars, and get them away. Perfect!

- Keep up with chores🟢
I’m not quite hitting my step goal without doing additional exercise. I’m surprised I don’t hit 10k steps since I’m constantly standing and walking around the classroom. I have a cheap fitness tracker and I think you have to walk a few steps before it starts counting. I think my short hops between desks may not be registering. 🤷♀️ Maybe I’ll try adding in a walk around the school during break today.

@HEGoddard0928 I've used Noom - just coming off of it - my subscription ends in a few days. I found it helpful in that it made me think and focus every morning. You read articles and reflect on your relationship with food, eating, emotions, your larger life, etc. It's a very psychological approach - which is helpful! It inspired me to get renew my MFP account and get involved in the community aspect. The goal specialist is ... ok. I had one that didn't really do much for me for the first few months - until I realized I could ask for a new one that matched my needs more! I think this thread MFP reminds me the most of the accountability - so I think it works as well.
I moved to MFP when I wanted to get more out of my tracking info. They have a red/yellow/green system with foods that lets you focus on the overall quality/calorie density of foods - which is helpful as you get into considering WHAT you eat. I am at the point where I want to consider things like Macros and Noom does not break down foods into their components - so you get no feed back on that side of things.
The community group also varies depending on your group. It didn't feel really personal but it did encourage self reflection - which was helpful! It has it's strong points and is a great stepping stone I think. However, I suspect if I commit and stay engaged here - using what I learned in Noom - this will be as effective. So I thought it was a great stepping stone!!! I'll be curious how it works for you! Keep us posted!6 -

@HEGoddard I never used Noom but comments by @violetanderson39 about MFP community are true for me. I joined MFP late 2015 and initially lost a few pounds, then nothing. I didn't use the tools that MFP gave me to their full extent, including the community. I was going it alone. After a year, I found JFT and a terrific group of people for support, motivation & accountability, without judgment. Exactly what I needed! That year, with a kick from JFT, along with studying my food log for things to change, I lost 32#. Since then, my weight has fluctuated, but I haven't regained all the weight. I'm still not at "goal" but I'm not fixated on that, and I feel so much better & I remain active, both physically and on JFT. It really is a great little community of support & motivation for me that keeps me accountable, even for my daily to do lists. I love JFT!!!

@cschmitz110515 & @PackerFanInGB - you guys are making me cold just hearing about the weather! Today’s going to be pretty chilly here too. 🥶
Where do you live? I'm excited it is supposed to get up to 45 degrees today with a Southern wind (warm)!violetanderson39 wrote: »
@HEGoddard0928 I've used Noom - just coming off of it - my subscription ends in a few days. I found it helpful in that it made me think and focus every morning. You read articles and reflect on your relationship with food, eating, emotions, your larger life, etc. It's a very psychological approach - which is helpful!
This sounds a lot like the No BS Weightloss program I recently joined. The focus is more on your thoughts and emotions around food. It's an expensive program, but I like the focus on the thought process surrounding urges, binging, emotional eating, mindless grazing, etc. There is a FB Live or Zoom meeting almost daily with one of the coaches where you can get coached on questions or issues you are having or you can type a question in the Chat that the coaches will answer. I like that the focus is on WHY I am eating as often or much as I am and how to be more mindful of my choices, rather than telling me which foods I can and cannot have. I'm curious now if NOOM would do the same thing but in a less expensive way... Thank you for summarizing it for us!
Also, this group has helped me since 2015 with my thought processes on everything from weight to activity to work and career, and let's not forget family drama! No matter what other programs I try, this group will always be home!3 -

Totally ran out of gas yesterday! I've noticed I don't get nearly as much done around the house on the days my husband doesn't go hunting in the afternoon. Today he will be going, so I should be able to get many of yesterday's goals done then.
I got up an hour earlier than him today, so I had time to do my 24 hour food plan and my assessment of yesterday's 24 hour plan, plus here I am before noon! Whoop Whoop! It's gonna be a good day in the neighborhood...
Hope everyone has a great day!

@HEGoddard0928 - Congratulations on the job! That is exciting, what will you be doing?
I have heard of NOOM and looked at it but the price point was really disappointing, let us know how you do with it.
@PackerFanInGB - At one time I followed a "diet" that the only thing you did differently was put your fork down between bites and really pay attention to your body signals. You only ate when you had hunger pangs and stopped when you felt full. I lost 25lbs just doing that and nothing else.
I prefer having the house to myself and just getting things done. When Rodger is in the house I don't get as inspired. Unfortunately, I have the house to myself for about 20 minutes each morning and that's it.
Well our nursing home has a positive case of Covid so we are on Outbreak. It's going to be a long road to haul now for sure.

Eat dinner at the table, unplugged: Done
Train the dog daily:Didn’t get this one done

@violetanderson39 I'm really excited to actually get started with the group and goal specialist. I always do so much better when I have a community behind me cheering me on. Hence why I love you guys so much! I was able to kick a ten year smoking habit because of an online support network I had. I've actually really enjoyed learning the green, yellow, and red food scales. It's really interesting!
Thanks for all the well wishes about the new job! I'm going to be a full time Aldi associate. It's a super simple job where I'm not likely to get beat up. Plus it'll give me a lot of time on my feet, moving around so I'll get more steps and lifting and things in. I'm pretty excited.
