JFT - Tuesday 7/14
1) log all food/stay in the green ✅
2) exercise - cardio ✅
3) clean and prep fruits and veggies (the ones I can) ✅
4) menu plan dinners through Friday and post them on the fridge I didn’t post them
5) write in my journal ✅ a really long entry. I felt like I got a lot out.
It is Wednesday the 15th. I do have my schedule mapped out on my calendar. And I’m feeling upbeat.
Just for today
1) exercise - cardio and stretching
2) focus on upping my veggies intake. 2-3 servings at lunch and dinner
3) clean the bathrooms. Discard what we don’t need/use/expired.
4) be kind to family members.2 -
@suzij27
I also want to increase my veggie intake. Today I'm picking up the little cans of Low Sodium V8 juice. They're 30 calories per can. The little cans are 5.5 oz so 1 serving of veggies, and a good source of antioxidant vitamins A & C. Also excellent source of potassium to maintain fluid balance and normal heart rhythm. I have trouble getting enough potassium each day so this will also help with that.
I realize it's not as effective as eating a vegetable. But, I usually have at least 2 veggies at lunch and 2 at supper. The V8 juice is a way for me to get a veggie in my breakfast.3 -

Hey everyone, I posted the below in a separate thread, but also wanted to see what you guys (who I all consider friends) thought about it too.
Its about my stress UNDEReating rather than overeating.
"So i realise that with the global crisis, everyone is getting stressed about various things.
And this normally leads to over eating or indulging which I've seen many posts and comments about.
But mine is when I get stressed, I cant eat. Take today for example, I've been that stressed all day, its 4pm and I've not ate anything yet, I'm pretty sure I've not even had a drink?
I'm hungry, so the logical thing is to go eat right? But firstly it takes me forever to decide what I feel like eating (if I decide at all) and then ill either make it and as soon as its in my mouth I just don't want it or.. ill just eat it.
This is not eating disorder related, its not like I'm undereating to lose weight as the fact I cant eat concerns me.
Its just a bit like..wtf. i know its having an impact because I am losing weight, not fast but I'm losing it. Which in one aspect I'm happy about because my goal is to lose weight, but not in this way, I want it to be done healthily.
What do you guys suggest? I cant tell if this is just because of Covid and all of it is getting to me as ive had 3 kids (6 years old and under) off school for 12ish weeks. Or if its a horrible new habit.
And I could do with suggestions with people who may have struggled similarly, through Covid or not"
What do you guys think lol, its just alot of you know me better because you know the sort of things I deal with if you get what I mean lol4 -
@pridesabtch you said "Yesterday was pretty good. I feel good about who I am these days." That is so awesome!! In a later post, you mentioned not being able to quiet your mind ... have you considered using positive affirmations? It can be a really helpful tool when you can't kick your negative thoughts out of your head.
Thanks, I have tried positive affirmations, but I haven't had much luck with it. I struggle with some mental illness and with Covid I haven't seen my counselor in many months now. In general I am doing very well and at peace. Actually, more so than I ever remember, but when one little think goes a miss it can bounce me out of whack for a day or two.

For me I have two levels of stress and they manifest differently. If I am mildly stressed, I binge and if I am really stressed I don't feel like eating. You have a lot on your plate and everyone deals with stress differently. Much love and if you ever need to vent feel free to send me a message.1 -

Depression, stress, and anxiety can all cause eating issues -- either under or over. Mine is over eating / non-stop eating. My therapist helped me a lot so I'll pass along a few things that work for me. One thing, if you don't eat for more than a few days, it's time to see a doctor. It could be medical, emotional, hormonal ... any number of things.
Stay away from caffeine and alcohol.
Stay hydrated. dehydration causes stress on the body which can trigger additional anxiety. if you are already anxious, it adds to the burden. drink water, herbal tea, crystal light
Take daily -- good multivitamin for women with plenty of B's. Also consider taking Omega 3, vitamin D, Tumeric, and potassium. All are good for helping relieve symptoms of depression / stress / anxiety. I did some research after talking with the hospital dietitian and do find them helpful. Increasing antioxidants also helpful. I was never one to take vitamins etc. But I am now and I think it's helping. Maybe it's partly mental ... it's something I can do for myself so I help keep myself healthy (one thing I can control in this crazy time).
My doc told me: Do Something!! Doing Nothing only adds to the depression / stress / anxiety. So, in your case, I'd say -- EAT SOMETHING!! eating nothing will only increase your anxiety levels.
She recommended I begin a Healthy eating Routine: Bfast between 7 & 8am, Lunch 12:30 to 1:30, Supper between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. No food after 8 pm if at all possible (this is hard for me since I stay up until 1 am).
If necessary, have mini meals -- have hard boiled eggs on hand as a good source of quick protein. prep a couple of favorite veggies or fruits in the morning for "grab & go" snacks. quick meal of cereal, milk, blueberries. Fix scrambled eggs for bfast, use leftovers for egg burrito lunch with avocado and diced tomatoes. have nuts on hand for a snack. Fix a "snack" meal: cubed cheese, a slice or two of deli ham/turkey, cherry tomatoes, grapes, a cucumber or pickle, wrap in lettuce leaf to make "sandwich". have cottage cheese with pineapple or grapes.
Sorry ... got a bit wordy. hope it helps. Hang in there. Just don't let it become a new habit!!

@littleblackskirt This week was not a good week in that I only lost 0.3lb, but I'm averaging around 1.5lb a week, so it can be done without exercise. I'm hoping next week will be a better week. Periods are the worst for screwing with the scales. Sorry to read your scales are also not playing ball! They have to reward our efforts eventually...
@Bex953172 I saw the other thread. Stress undereating is a thing - one of my colleagues is very difficult to deal with, and every time she sends me a snippy message, I don't feel like eating. She could actually be a diet plan in herself, because she has the same effect on everyone around her. I wonder if I could market her as such...? 'Struggling to lose weight? Talk to thelastnightingale's colleague. You won't be hungry anymore!'3 -
Had Zoom meeting then troubles logging in to MFP but finally here! After reading posts about daily calories & activity, I decided to change my profile. I have a desk job, so I always considered myself sedentary. But now I take hourly "move" breaks/stairs, and walk dog or x-train regularly. So maybe I was aiming for too low of calories for my activity level. Anyway, my weight has plateaued for way too long, and I changed my profile to lightly active. I love that my daily net calories are higher, and maybe this is what I need to lose more weight. I really want to get below 160#.
Recap T 7/14 ~ rest day
1) Blood spot test after a.m. shower
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) / 5 somethings
14/14 boom!
2) Figure out protein for supper / net cals green / 14c water
not quite
3) Work progress / organize papers & electronics for work from home until Mon. / submit daily update / sign out of building 4:30 (Ellie hates when I'm slow at this) = 4x
4) Drop package at UPS / gas in car / mail niece bday card / one chore = 4x plus mom & dad called 
for good chat
5) Unplug 9:00
/ floss 
/ retainers
JFT W 7/15
1) Walk dog
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (basement to 2nd floor) / 5 somethings
2) Net cals green / 14c water
3) Work at home progress / transfer electronic records & organize papers
4) Wash towels / register at GBBG if still openings / finish medical paperwork / one chore
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)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)
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 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I 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 w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
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 & July3 -

Yesterday was not a good day for us. I went with my husband because he would meet with the doctor.. I could not go in, so I went to Trader Joes. Bought a box of chocolate chip cookies, along with other, healthy foods. This was the last meeting with the doctor, as his last radiation was today.
I was glad I went, because the news was not good. We knew his cancer was "moderately" aggressive, but yesterday the doctor told him according to the MRI that it was highly aggressive, so he would need hormone shots for at least 2 years, because there is a high possibility it can come back. Not the news we wanted to hear.
Then.. I get home, and my SIL, whose son, DIL, and 2 grandchildren live with her, called to tell me that her son, SIL, and both grandkids all tested positive for Covid! She had pretty much quarantined herself in the upstairs bedroom.. leaving the house through a deck to the outside stairs, so she is trying to stay away from them.. but this is still very scary. She does not have it yet. She is very high risk.. 70 yrs old, has asthma, diabetes, heart problem. I am so upset that her son and DIL would not be more careful, but then, who knows where this virus is.. it is just so easy to catch. I'm sure they are careful, as we all are, but you just do not know who might be contagious.
SO ... I ate almost half of the box of chocolate chip cookies I bought at trader joes last nite.. made myself almost sick! I had also bought stuff for my daughter, so today when she came to get her groceries... I gave her the rest of the box. So now... they are out of the house, and I can't eat anymore. Eating them is not going to help anything.
So tomorrow, going to try and get out for my walk, spend time with hubby, and just enjoy the day, and try to stay on the positive side of things.
Tonite we are having his favorite dish .. deep dish pizza! His request, because since he does not have radiation tomorrow.. he tells me he can pile on the red peppers!
So, JFT, Thurs
1. try and take a long walk
2. stay positive
3. mindful eating
4. concentrate on water
5. work on quilt -- that helps take mind off things

I'm sorry you didn't get the news you wanted
Ashs mum had a biopsy today, i think to find what stage and course of action to take. I think this is her 3rd cancer, breast, skin and now bone.
So I'm about to be thrown into the cancer $h!tstorm and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do
Joan, fù€k the cookies. You've got bigger things on your plate! Don't even worry about it *HUG* That book thing (I cant remember) but wasn't day 4 to be kind to yourself
Love you joan!5 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4

End of February: 196.2
End of March: 193.8
End of April: 192.6
End of May: 191.8
End of June: 192.2
Today: 192.0
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.

Today was more sane—yesterday I worked, walked, and barely ate a few meals. Today I had a little bit of me time in there. Started thinking through my eating needs for our camping trip in 2 weeks. Realized I want “my” foods less about losing weight (though I don’t want to gain), but more about feeling good and not getting draggy from digging into the treats and carbs. Might need a third cooler just to bring enough fresh stuff to last me (and cook for the family) for the week.
Calories green and got my movement, so keeping to habits there. Tomorrow more of the same I guess!

WOTY: Habits2 -
Good morning,
I think it’s time I got back into the routine of goal setting. I have been reading your posts so that I didn’t loose touch but was just feeling too tired to commit. I’ve not been logging food or meeting my Fitbit exercise goals, I’ve not been particularly hungry but have a small gain that’s probably more to do with alcohol than food
Log
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
Water
Fitbit exercise goals

Oh @Bex953172 and @mytime6630 I’m sorry you’re going through such tough times right now, puts other stuff in perspective.
I’m sticking to my unambitious goals - log everything, stay in the green. Sleep’s gone a bit wrong this past week, so I’m going to add in try to get to bed early.4
