I missed logging in yesterday, as soon as I got to work "it" all started. Very stressful couple of days again, hopefully today is a bit better.
I'm at work and need to get at it, will try to catch up this evening.4 -
Recap T 11/24
1) Walked dog 4.07 mi before work
happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
13/14 (forgot over lunch break) & 16.8k
3) Prelog / net cals zero / 14c water green 32 & 15c then woke hungry & snacked on crackers
4) Work in office: AJNH / clear more email backlog = 1.5/2
5) Wash towels / charge LED dog collar / boil eggs / prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / declutter 15 min. / 1-2 other chores = 6/6
6) UNPLUG 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 6:45 alarm (rest day W) = 5/5
JFT W 11/25 ~ rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
2) Prelog / leftovers for supper / net cals zero / 14c water
3) Work in office: AJNH / clear more email backlog
4) After work: check if winter coat (zipper replaced) is ready / pick up bread order / pick up Thanksgiving dinner order
5) 7:00 church service / prep overnight oats / declutter 15 min. / at least 1 other chore
6) UNPLUG 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / NO alarm for Thanksgiving Day (walk Turkey Trot home edition with dog while hubby sleeps)
Snow that fell yesterday was melted by rain later & above freezing temps. Very damp out & decided today will be my rest day. Good to be rested for the Turkey Trot tomorrow: only 2 miles timed & I know I'll go further than that with dog. The next day the 50 Mile Frenzy starts, and I want to build mileage early, since who knows when snow will finally make treadmill non-optional.
Office is deserted today, more than usual in this pandemic & work from home days. Lots of folks took day off. I'll enjoy the quiet, water my plants, clear more emails, and maybe get some work done. LOL
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19) YAY 10.31.20 159.0#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) / 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
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 & July / small declutter projects around house October2 -

We had a great Thanksgiving. My turkey came out perfect! Nice and juicy and wonderful! It was a pretty good success for my first time cooking the whole thing. It was just my parents, Matt and I.
Today is a new day and I have my third shift at Aldi today! I'm gonna have a great day! I'll make sure of it!
I hope everyone had a great day yesterday! Especially my US friends. The holiday was hard this year for so many but I hope you all made the best of it.
