Late posting but want that accountability to myself. And posting here forces me to acknowledge my goals. Happy to get email this morning that my new Fitbit (ordered late yesterday) has already shipped and should be here by Wed. Hope so, because I'm not sure I'll be able to recharge my current one with the broken part. Already looked up how to add new device to an existing account, and seems easy. I hope so.
Yet another day of beautiful sunny warm weather in Green Bay on Nov. 8. Upper 60s wow! Hubby and I could relax somewhat since all fall yard chores are complete YAY! We ran several errands, then took dog to nearby park with creek. Scads of people there, also taking advantage of the unseasonable weather. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll, as did dog. She got petted by friendly kids & strangers, and got to drink from the creek. How fun!
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19) 10.31.20 159.0#Word for 2020: Persist

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

Well, I logged everything and I actually only ate one serving of whatever I ate. I went over my calorie goal but I tracked it. I’m calling that a win.5

- No BS 24H Assess & Plan
- 64 oz water: I will fill two 1 Qt jars with water and set on kitchen counter in plain sight. Drink both before dinner.
- 7000 Steps / 30 minutes activity: Get outside! It's in the 70's today! That's unheard of in November in Green Bay. Take dog somewhere new and take a walk.
- Finish the Keep/Toss/Donate pile in the laundry room and bring the donate bags to St. Vincent de Paul Still have bags in trunk of my car, but they'll get there tomorrow.
- Bake banana bread and cookies for Tim Only banana bread. Too nice outside to stay inside and bake.
- Take care of mental health today. Stress is bad for the body. Lots of music played loudly while I cleaned and danced my way around the house. Neighbors probably didn't enjoy that, but I sure did!
- Early bedtime. Your body needs rest.
Couldn't fall asleep.
JFT - Sunday: No goals posted but I had them in my head and I met them all! Yay!

I’ve been pretty good at meeting these targets over the last six weeks and it’s working 😊 😊 😊.6 -
Potato chips are very good..and very moreish
I've been very lazy at posting recently, eating has not been good. I managed to stay the same weight all through October, even with several birthdays, a back injury, and a death/funeral to cope with. So I got over cocky and thought I was doing okay, and now I've put on 3lbs this month, and it's only the 9th! I need to turn this around before I put even more on.
So JFT Monday 9th November
Be "diet aware" (not logging as already had breakfast)
No snacking
15 minute morning walk
15 minute evening walk (osteo recommendation)

Remember the "why"...health! There's more Covid in my area now than any time this year. I want to be slim and healthy.

I'm going to post this and get the heck off MFP and clean my damn house. It's trashed. I'm going to get something delicious for dinner brewing in the slow cooker.
And I'm going to stick to CICO today as I have done so well this month and I'm feeling super proud of myself. And I like that feeling.
Have a lovely Monday everyone. 6 -
So I stepped in the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised! I'm down 1.6lbs! Even after eating 4 servings of mac and cheese last night. Lol. I've been doing nothing but gaining since the start of Covid. This is a very nice change. Let's see if I can keep this up (but without the Mac and cheese lol)5

SUNDAY:
- 10k steps🔴
- Exercise🟢
- Log food🔴
- Sing for mass🟢
- Family hike🟢
I’m bummed I didn’t hit 10k steps yesterday. I had a little streak going. I had assumed the family hike would be enough, but it was super easy and we went so slow (we did have 3 people 70+, so it’s understandable), but I was hoping to get more of a workout. We followed it up with a huge plate of fried seafood. A treat from my mom. So, no surprise the scale is up a little today. I’ll keep working on it! Hopefully see some changes next week.
JFT MONDAY:
- 10k steps
- Exercise
- Log food
- Dance and soccer practice
- Chorus meeting
Have a great day! 🩰3 -
Been on the struggle bus lately. I had a awesome race season during the summer. I reached my weight goal, won the race series I hoped to just do well in, and met my time goal for the off road attack on mount Mitchell race.
I was really laser focused on the above and once the season finished I Just fell off the wagon nutrition-wise. I still have been training consistently but weight is up and starting to see hints that the “dad bod” wants to return... I’d like to avoid that (:
So before I reach a level that makes things seem insurmountable I’m back.
Goals for Monday
Stay green
Do my scheduled Zwift workout
12 pull-ups
25 push-ups
No beer
No M&Ms

Meh. Hard to write this down but at least I’m keeping this commitment. Gained .4# for the week.
For Sunday, finish the week on track. There are people who don’t have to track calories. I’m not one. Like a money budget, I have to stay within bounds to reach my objectives. I have to exercise self discipline.
1950 calories:3471. Started off track and stayed there. Averaged 2107 for the week. Those 200 or 300 calories a day make a difference. I don’t eat back exercise calories but 1800 to 2000 a day of the right foods is not depriving myself
Walk for 45 minutes: Chose not to walk or work out on the day. Averaged 61 minutes a day including 13.06 miles of exercise walks, 3000#, 400 crunches, 100 push ups and 200 lunges.
Make good choices: Nope
Support my bride: I’m not supporting her when I don’t live up to my commitments
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged:Nope and Nope
For Monday, new day. Focus on what I’m going to do different. Finances, career, marriage and family are all solid. I’m disciplined in logging food and activity. I’m disciplined in reporting through this forum. Have to be disciplined in the rest, my diet and exercise. Overall good year, I can keep this going.
1800 calories:
Work out for 90 minutes:
Make good choices. Revisit my “why” when I end work and transition to the evening;
Support my bride:
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. Don’t eat on the couch:4 -

Gratitude Journal
Chips - These are my downfall, and they are addictive I swear! For 2 years, I would only buy a small bag at a time and very rarely. Since March, I have been having them almost daily. If I don't buy them at home I have them at work. I know if I could go a couple of weeks without any I wouldn't be craving them and I need to figure out how to do that. AGAIN.
I'm at work and busy so must get at it.
