    Morning all have only been on this thread for a few days but love reading the posts, did chuckle at the snowboard/snowbird. There are one or two words that have different meaning uk side of the pond 😜 love the differences. Jumped on the scales this morning and I’m down. Not s lot but going in the right direction.

    Goal to lose 2lb this week
    Walk more
    Drink more water and green tea
    No coffee

    Lmao! I love the differences too! There are some really good ones!

    Evidently I have never heard of snowbirding before though lmao


    The one that gets me is US "biscuits and gravy" is a terrible combination of food over here in the U.K. Haha

    Glad you're enjoying the group. I was a frequent poster but not so much now, I don't really do the goals anymore just come here to chat and support others :)

    Have friends in Canada so the snowbirds was something I had heard of, but I agree with you over the biscuits and gravy. I’m sure there are plenty more. 😂

    ==============================
    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.
    Daily Goals
    • Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
    • Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise
    • Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores

    Happy Tuesday all! I need some sort of accountability, even if it's just coming in to make a post once a day! I've been on and off the wagon for years, and just got back to school and did what I swore I wouldn't do, put on another freshman 15 (more like 5 but still, my pants are tight again) so I need to be kept accountable!

    Goal for today:
    Log everything
    Either gym or fitness class today
    Yoga

    Welcome! Those are good goals!

    Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.

    Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’. You decide your own calorie goal.

    Today went pretty well. I've just got one piece of prep left to do tomorrow. Wed are a slow day sales wise and while I'll have some stuff from our rep on the road, it's not going to be unmanageable. We are going forward with the event on Sunday, Covid -19 and all. I suppose we'll find out if this was wise or not in the next couple of weeks. Best news, the new washer was installed and while someone is doing a load now, let them be the guinea pig.

    Daily habits: track, 😀exercise, 👿journal😀
    Tuesday Action Plan
    1. Wake 0600, pill, Walk + 10 squats, yoga, pill 👿10 squats, but no walk. Didn’t feel good, slept in
    2. Dressed and online at 0745😀
    3. Healthy breakfast😀
    4. Put water bottle next to laptop 👿—so I had no water until noon
    5. Lunch = salad + chicken + apple + water 😀
    6. Get dry cleaning out of car😀
    7. Clothes returns🤨—partially prepared
    8. Choose healthy for dinner😀
    9. Upstairs by 9, journal, lights out 9:30😀

    Slept in this morning and didn’t run—used the excuse I didn’t feel great today. Still stayed under calories. Worked at home per guidance from work...thought it would save me the commute time but I still put in 10 hours! It was nice to take a break at lunch and water the garden, though. But I totally lied to myself that I would take a break and get my walk in...did not happen. Tomorrow I will get up and run!

    Daily habits: track, exercise, journal
    Wednesday Action Plan
    1. Wake 0600, pill, run app—W5D3, yoga, pill
    2. Pack salad + protein + apple + water bottle for lunch

    4. healthy lunch
