Good day and a solid week. Down 2.4# for the week
For Sunday, finish the week strong. Do the things I’m supposed to do.
1900 calories: 1990 for the day, 1826 average for the week
Work out for 80 minutes: 83 minutes for Sunday including a 2.52 mile walk. 2020 high points for hours with 8:56, for miles with 17.44, crunches with 360 and push ups with 102.
Make good choices and revisit my goals mid day: Made good choices and even though I went over calories a bit on Sunday, I was under for the week.
Support my bride: She always supports me but I can do better. Let the little things go on by
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged: Snacked dinner on the couch but stopped myself from going overboard. Slow .5 walk after dinner with my bride. I’m happy to go at her pace, this isn’t exercise time[/quote]
For Monday, there are things I want to achieve for my long term health and well -being. There are actions I have to take and actions I have to avoid in order to achieve those goals.

Shopping together on Sat. hubby wanted french onion dip & chips for himself. No problem. I made the mistake of buying kettle chips (a fav of mine) and pickle/ranch dip for myself. Oops. That, plus homemade ice cream from a favorite local restaurant in our carry out order this weekend spelled doom for my food log. Oh well, onward! Planned suppers include fresh trout and broccoli bisque, then leftovers. I'll forget about chips/dip & ice cream the rest of this week, and keep up with dog walks, maybe even x-train.

Hey guys!
I spent the weekend at a Christian Woman's Conference and got to finally meet my best friend in real life! It was a blast and I got SOOO much out of it! But I came back tired and sore from all the walking. Lol.
I went to bed late last night because I was up spending time with Matt and talking. So I actually got up later than I had been but fell asleep on the couch and when I finally woke up I only had 8 minutes to get to work instead of having an extra hour to get there.
School starts an hour earlier now because they are bringing half of the district students into hybrid this month and the other half are starting next month. Very annoying. Thank God I didn't need to pack a lunch or take a shower since I took one the night before. I ended up only getting there 5 minutes late.
I'm going to post some goals now I think as opposed to wanting to sign on early in the morning and not doing it.
JFT, 10/6/20
- Up at 5
- work 7-11:15
- doc appt 1:15
- Aldi
- food in the crockpot
- pull the chicken from the freezer
- call F re Sunday message
I think that's it.2 -
Had a fairly good day yesterday, I went slightly over on my calories but didn't have any alcohol and had a decent amount of sleep so felt able to go for a run this morning. I actually feel quite fresh! (For now...)bookmeister86 wrote: »- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
Allowed myself some chocolate which took me 150 over, better than previous days though!
- Stay positive
- Read emails at intervals only
It's really hard to remember to do this. I've decide to rephrase this to 'turn emails off when I have finished with them'. I feel like that might work better.
- Go for runIt was just really dark and depressing when I finished work so really didn't want to. We went this morning though and saw nice sunrise light.
- Keep catching up on emails
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- Make lunches
- Do monthly resolutions
- Lights off by 11
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- 5 fruit & veg

I am exhausted this week, we have a lot going on and I am giving myself some grace to rest when needed. I didn’t walk on Monday, I tested and did some self-care instead and I am thankful for that.
Just for today, Monday October 5th 2020, I will:
• Rest as much as needed without guilt✅
• see my client✅
•Love myself where I’m at✅
•Go for a walk ❌
Just for today, Tuesday October 6th, I will
• Run necessary errands
•Walk
•Meet with employee
•Market practice and TCT

@bookmeister86 I'm with you on getting up early and out in the dark. It's so hard! When I do, I wear a reflective vest (my LED vest shorted out), high vis hat & LED headlamp. Dog wears a blaze (hunter's) orange vest with reflective stripes & LED collar. Since we have few to no sidewalks in our area, we walk on side of the road, and I want drivers to see us. I know we're visible, because people have commented to me. When the sky is clear I enjoy looking at the seasonal constellations, listening to the birds (no earbuds for me on walks), and watching the sunrise. Best part, besides happy dog: getting my workout done at the beginning of the day! I love knowing what my exercise calories are.
Recap M 10/5 ~ work at office
1) Walked dog 3.53 mi happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) 14/14 boom!
