    A good start to the week and I avoided a very tempting glass of wine. I can’t believe that January is nearly finished - I won’t meet my monthly target for weight loss >:)

    I've been mentally convincing myself that I need to take control, and getting used to the idea that I will be reducing my calories. I have been getting more work booked in for the summer, well from May on, and I know it's much easier if I'm slimmer.

    So JFT Tuesday 28th January

    Not sure I can face 1200 calories yet, so stay below 1500
    Log everything
    Back exercises
    Be positive
    Check tax position online
    Weigh myself for "starting weight"
    A housework day here too

    No walk today as it's snowy/icy outside.

    Just gonna do some quick goals.

    JFT, 1/2/20

    -Water goal :)
    -dishwasher :)
    -laundry :)
    -write 2 chapters :)This was really awesome because I got them both written at school yesterday. I brought my little black bluetooth keyboard and connected it to my phone. So I could type during the classes that I would normally spend just staring at my phone. It was really cool. I'm so glad I had that lightbulb moment!
    -bring keyboard/lunch/gym clothes/charger :)
    -pick 1 order, if available :(
    -GYM :(
    -actually eat my lunch!!! :)
    -put more k-cups in bag :)
    -call G to reschedule appt :)It was originally scheduled for yesterday(Monday) but due to extenuating circumstances we didn't have the money for the copay so I had to reschedule. So now it's Monday of next week.
    -call Aetna about wisdom teeth renewal :smile: Called Aetna and they said that they would only cover 80% and that was after my dedutible was met. Well our deductible is $3500 so that wasnt happening. But I called our dental coverage provider and they said that they wil cover 80% without a deductible. So over the summer I am finally getting these suckers out of my mouth!
    -figure out dinner :smile:
    -JFT/Log all food :smile:

    I cant believe how many of those goals I actually got done yesterday! I also scrubbed the stove top and the kitchen table last night! And I went to bed pretty early too! So I'm pretty proud of myself!

    Matt had to get up early for work this morning and woke me with with a cup of coffee that actually got me out of bed. Lol. I had planned to sleep for another half hour but he wouldn't let me. Lol. Sometimes he surprises me with nice gestures like that.

    Today after school I am hanging out with one of my friend's sons who has Downs Syndrome. She has to go up North to be with her father who is having bypass surgery and needs someone to spend time with him. She asked me and I said of course. I love this kid! Well he's not really a kid anymore. I think he's 22 now. It's crazy how fast he grew up! But I feel like it's like that with most people. Lol.

    Okay! Onto goals!

    Jft, 2/28/20

    -Water goal
    -Charger/lunch/keyboard to school
    -Alex time!
    -Up by 5 :smiley:
    -JFT :smiley:
    -Log food
    -Actually eat my lunch!!
    -Dishwasher
    -2 chapters
    -1 order, if available
    -Fold laundry

    Have a great day everyone!

    Monday:
    - Substituting all day 🟢
    - Stay green🔴
    - Hydrate🟢
    - Dishes🟢
    - Dinner at dining room table🟢
    - Pick up one piece of trash 🔴
    - Get some exercise 🔴
    - 🎶 rehearsal tonight 🎶🟢

    I was in a really snacky mood last night. After rehearsal, I came home and had a few things that are usually off limits for me (granola bar, cheezits, a mini Milky Way). I really think it’s because I didn’t have my usual roasted veggie snack after school. I skipped it in an attempt to stay in the green. Totally backfired!

    Today is more of the same. I need to figure out how to schedule in some exercise on days that I work. 🤔

    JFT Tuesday:
    - Substituting all day
    - Stay green
    - Hydrate
    - Dishes
    - Dinner at dining room table
    - Pick up one piece of trash from the street
    - Get some exercise
    - 🎶 rehearsal tonight 🎶

    Today is hubby's 60th birthday (yes, I am older than he is :wink: ), so I left a note for when he got home from work after midnight. To him, it's just another day. We will only spend my lunch hour together as usual for a weekday. Anyway, we celebrated with his traditional bday dinner/cake & presents & cards last Sunday. He was happy with that.

    1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
    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)

    6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum
    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)

    Word for 2020: Persist

    Thank you! Hopefully in a few days when my body forgets the 1-day of abandon and gets back on the program I can feel better about it!

    Happy Tuesday to all!

    Hey Sis... You're not alone. I won't meet my monthly goal either. But, I'm still determined, and on fire and doing what I can.
    We Are In This Together... Hugs

    Thank you Mary, I’ll continue to plod on and accept small amounts of progress. I know you will persevere with your journey. You offer great support and encouragement to everyone on here.

    I'm hanging out with my friend Donna's son today while she's up North at a hospital. Her dad is having open heart surgery. Apparently there have been a few complications so please keep the family in your prayers.

    Hanging out with a kid(well man really. He's 23) with Down's is definitely interesting. Lol. I've known him since he was about 6. He's grown up into a great person. I can't believe how old he is now. Does seeing your friend's kids grow up get any easier? I know that's probably a dumb question. Lol.

    I kinda want to kill Matt at the moment too. He threw his back out on Sunday. It seemed to be better yesterday so he went to work. And then when he went back this morning he was in pain. He left about a half an hour before his shift was over and drove home. However, he didnt text me when he got home. So he last thing I heard from him was that he was in incredible pain and was on his way home. And then nothing for almost two hours. Not a single word. I texted him a whole bunch of times and called him but he never answered. I finally had to call my parents to go knock on the door and check on him.

    I know it was pretty irrational on my part but when your husband and the love of your life says that to you and then is incommunicado from almost 2 hours your mind can come with all sorts of irrational things.

    But he's alive. He was just sleeping, not laying on the floor somewhere crippled. Lol.

    So that's been my afternoon so far. Lol. How has everyone else's been?

    I said a prayer and bless you too Sis. I love you

    That’s a great idea to stay under 1500. Like you I find the idea of 1200 again so daunting.

    HELLO!

    I am so glad to be back in action. I was laid up the last week with influenza. Ended up going to the ER in the middle due to a fever that wouldn't go down and an elevated heart rate that also would not go down. Miserable! I am feeling a million times better and back at work, but I have a terrible cough. Being a therapist, this is hard because I talk all day, but I'm doing the best I can and I feel a little better each day. Because of this, I am modifying my health goals. I don't feel comfortable totally restricting calories when I'm just getting better. So I am sticking as close as I can to healthy eating, but listening to my body if I need to eat more than my diet plan allows. With my awful cough and decreased energy, that also means that exercise is out until I'm feeling stronger. So that's where I"m at. I have been keeping up on the posts, but wasn't up to responding until today.

    @Faebert I will say that was an amazing cake! I also liked your comment about working towards your "happiest weight"
    @snowflake1968 I can absolutely relate to you. I had a similar situation where I gained back a bunch of lost weight over the last six months, and it was so hard to own up to the fact that I was not taking care of myself and needed to make changes. But know that you are never a disappointment and never a failure. This is hard, and especially hard to keep up for so long. Remember we are here to support you and accept you as the fantastic woman you are, just as you are right now.
    @pridesabtch I am so sorry you're feeling sick! Take care of yourself and I hope you're feeling better soon.
    @bookmeister86 Pizza is my ultimate weakness too! Tomorrow is a new day :)
    @HEGoddard0928 Way to crush those goals!


    Just for Today-Wednesday
    Get to work on time
    Finish ½ a report
    Track food, exercise, water, daily goals
