    Thursday
    No beerโœ…
    No M&MsโŒBut stopped after just one handful (baby steps .. or maybe it was because they were the Christmas green and red ones and not peanut butter?)

    Substandard M&Ms haha ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    SIL (married to my youngest brother) tested positive and says in hindsight she didn't recognize early symptoms as possibly COVID. She mostly had a mild case. Now rest of her family is quarantining. So glad my parents (in their 80s) did not visit on Thanksgiving Day as invited. Hard, but necessary decision. I already know I won't be seeing any of my or hubby's families for upcoming holidays. That's the choice hubby and I have made to keep ourselves and others we care about safe and healthy.

    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 / 12.3.20 (forgot 11.30.20 M after Thanksgiving & long weekend)
    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 / Turkey Trot Home Edition 2 miles w/ dog 36:34 on Thanksgiving Day 11.26.20
    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 Oct/Nov / basement newspapers Nov

    I know these daily goals work but itโ€™s tedious for me and must be boring for you! Moreover, I canโ€™t see what I can change when I get to my goal weight if I plan to stay there! Mind you, I can predict I wonโ€™t meet some of them over the Christmas and new year celebrations. Apparently the average person consumes 6-7 thousand calories on Christmas Day and it takes until Easter to loose the weight then thereโ€™s the Easter chocolate to loose ready for summer! Good job Iโ€™m not too keen on chocolate!

      @ZizzyBumble Thatโ€™s why we have to develop better eating strategies for celebrations. We can still indulge, but on a greatly reduced scale.

      Last December I managed to keep my weight gain to a couple of lbs, and it was gone in a couple of weeks.

      JFT Thursday

      - Take meds โœ–๏ธ Forgot again, need to put them next to the kettle I think.
      - Walk dog AM โœ”๏ธ
      - Drink 4+ cups of waterโœ–๏ธ i can't recall having ANY drinks today ๐Ÿค”
      - Sort through girls clothes โœ–๏ธ This neeeeeds doing. The girls room has a built in cupboard and all their clothes that were originally folded are a mess haha there's far too many as well so need to cut down and drop off spares to charity.
      - Walk dog PM โœ”๏ธ need to find a longer route, he's still pestering me lol

      Have you tried setting an alarm on your phone/watch/fitness tracker as a reminder? I had to do that when I first started taking injections because I was not used to having to deal with medications at the hour when those are supposed to happen. Now I am trained, but it took a while. :)

      I would never get all of my medications right if I did not set them out a week at a time. I have a little round pill organizer like the one below for the few small pills that I take at night...I set that up on the weekend for seven days. I take more/bigger pills in the morning, so I have seven glass custard cups for those...I just organize a week at a time and then stack them up on the table where I eat breakfast.

      j5sfmudnbs4y.png

      I have tried alarms but if I'm busy at the time I snooze it and then forget again.
      It's only 2 tablets I need to take, its ridiculous.
      I was doing okay taking them but being out of the house for 8 weeks they've just got constantly misplaced.
      I do like that pill dispenser though! I might get it and just put it near the kettle. I normally make a cup of tea in the morning and I have to take my tabs before breakfast and caffeine.

      I had to get blood thinning injections after Casey was born, I don't know how you manage it because I couldn't physically inject myself, I just burst into tears when I got close and then I asked my partner and he passed out lol! Disaster.

      Thanks for your help :)

      Missed posting again yesterday,

      There is real camaraderie and friendships on this chain. It is obvious that the support and love that are shown are heartfelt and genuine.

      Iโ€™m still working out and Iโ€™m dogged in logging food but this exercise doesnโ€™t personally provide the focus I need. Iโ€™m also out of place by not being a supportive team member.

      Iโ€™m going to take a break from participating in this forum and keep experimenting with resources. Iโ€™m not walking away from my commitment to continuing my fitness journey.

      Thank you for allowing me to camp out here over the past several months.

      Awh I'm sorry to see you go! I wish you all the best in your journey. I think you have been supportive, you've been here nearly every day and I think you've done really well. I hope you found something useful from this group and know you're welcome to rejoin any time, if you wish!

      Take care!

      SATURDAY:
      Working OT today...no rest for the essential! I don't really get breaks during OT, but I will be done by 4:00, which means I can take a walk while it is still a bit light outside. For once it is not pouring down rain, so I will take advantage!

      When I had blood thinning injections after my second brain surgery, I chickened out and had my mom do them...she is a retired doctor. I was not in any shape to learn something like that after having my brain messed with :)

      On my current meds, I really had a hard time at first...I sat and stared at the needle for hours before I could finally do it the first time! Then I learned that it (mostly) doesn't hurt, so it has become second nature. It sure is a learning curve though!

      We hate to see you leave.. but I also understand. But please do not feel that you have to respond to others posts, or engage in coverrsation to be a part of this group. We are all busy ... so many times I barely have time to get on and post my own goals, let alone respond to others. There are enough of us that I think if someone reaches out.. and really needs encouragement, someone helps them. But the point of this thread, at least for me, is to try and stay focused. It is so easy to just give up... this thread reminds us that each day can start fresh. Best of luck to you.. and come back whenever you are ready!

        @WellingTX I would be so sorry to see you go. Your daily comments on your day are enlightening, and often amusing. I love that you constantly bounce back.

        However, I do understand that a break is sometimes necessary. You will always be welcome here.

        SATURDAY:
        Working OT today...no rest for the essential! I don't really get breaks during OT, but I will be done by 4:00, which means I can take a walk while it is still a bit light outside. For once it is not pouring down rain, so I will take advantage!

        @mytime6630 I hate the time of the year when those little blighters sneak
        Indoors. We had several last month, so DH had to find new traps as we had lent some to our DYD.
