    I played some walking games on my phone and it helped me relax.


    What is this? I play Sudoku to relax, for some reason it makes me very sleepy. Is this something that makes you actually walk?

    @HEGoddard0928 - What a rough day for you, I find walking relaxes me as well.

    @SERmom3 - When I quit smoking I was concerned about gaining weight and munching mindlessly was one of the things that was hard to control. I chose to snack on sunflower seeds, the calorie count was a bit high, but they kept my mouth and hands busy so helped a lot. Maybe I should buy some of them again.

    @mrsbfe - I don't do meal planning, I find trying to stresses me out too much.

    Weather forecast for next seven days has high temps 10 degrees below average, and lows in 30s, maybe even hard freeze. A little early for that, so last night I put the ceramic birdbath in shed and set up electric bath on patio. Want to keep the birds happy.

    Hubby texted from work last night that a co-worker was fired, so now his crew is down 2 people instead of only one. His employer hasn't replaced the other guy for over a year. Hubby has been busting his *kitten* on this job, and he is worn out and frustrated to the max. Last week his company asked him to work extra jobs on Saturdays, offering overtime, but hubby said no. And now the day shift supervisor is quaratining because of COVID exposure. Ack!!! I wish I could do something to help.

    2020 Goals:
    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) = 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
    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
    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

    @mytime6630 I have quilt envy. That is gorgeous! DId you make all the ones in your profile pics? How long did the diamond one made of tiny blocks of colour take, it's amazing.


    For today I am trying to not get discouraged and break my diet just because the scale hasn't moved.

    JFT - 10/14

    - Don't put butter on my bread (sounds silly but I'm OBSESSED) >:)
    - Go to the gym and yoga :)
    - Do at least two hours of work >:)
    - Read (something fun for myself) >:)

    JFT 10/15

    - Work for two hours
    - Eat mindfully at both lunch and dinner
    - Work out and go to Yoga
    - Go for an outside walk for at least 30 minutes
    - Move hourly

    @cschmitz110515 Thanks for the welcome. And happy belated birthday to you! I turned 40 on Oct 8 - we're close. I agree about the scale trends being more important than daily figures. I saw your goal of drinking 14c - is that 14 cups? Way to go!

    @Snowflake1968 Thanks for the welcome. It's really inspiring you lost 25 lbs using MFP. It's such a great app/program. I did WW twice and it didn't work.

    I really need to get my but into gear when it comes to working from home. I can find almost anything else to do but sitting at my computer is hard work. I'm a graphic designer/social media manager so I have to be on the ball. It's my passion and I love my job but right now my motivating is down the drain. So my goal is at least two hours of work.

    Hope everyone has a good day today.

      Oh thank you. Yes, I've been quilting a long time. The diamond one was for my grandson .. who loves bright colors! It is a very easy pattern (Trip around the world). Its the best therapy for me to be sewing :)

      And I am like you .... trying not to get discouraged. The scale can go up so easy, but takes so much more to have it go down! But don't give up!

      Good day

      For Thursday success isn’t a straight line but I can’t simply accept my failures. Don’t dwell but work to understand and learn.

      1800 calories: 1738
      Work out for 80 minutes: 86 minutes including a 2.76 mile walk
      Make good choices: Made good choices all day. Kept below my goals bjrctives
      Support my bride: Easy to do, she always supports me
      Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards. Both unplugged. For real, don’t snack or eat on the couch: Done, done and done. No eating on the couch and an enjoyable stroll with my bride.

      For Friday, be who I want to be. If I want to be healthy, take actions in alignment.

      1900 calories:
      Work out 80 minutes, find the time:
      Make good choices:
      Support my bride:
      Going to an event this evening. Avoid car food and eating on the couch when I get home:

      @cschmitz110515 - employers don’t realize how much they ask of people and expect that money makes it all better, I hope there is a change in that mentality someday.

      I am sitting at the doctors office waiting for my daughter. Unintentionally, we had back to back appointments scheduled. It worked out well since she’s in a boot and can’t drive right now. Michaela is with Grampie and we’ll have to go get her and bring her back home as soon as we leave here.

      I had my first physical in 2 years, not sure how I missed last year, I’m usually on top of it.

      My blood pressure is a little elevated and I found out that the headaches I’ve been having are actually migraines not sinuses as I thought. She has given me 2 prescriptions to try to help so I don’t have to take as much Advil as I have been taking.
