Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

JFT- Saturday May 23
1L of water
Log all food
Up early this morning and went tonHome Depot with hubby to get the final items we need for the deck. I estimated that the deck would cost 1500 and I think we are about 20 over at this point. I hope that was the final cost. I am going to buy some post solar lights for it next pay but that’s decorative stuff in my mind.
I need to go get some groceries and clean this afternoon, but right now I feel I could use a nap.

Sunday Action Plan
1. No alarm wake
2. Long walk
3. Kayak
4. Breakfast = DD overnight oats
5. Lunch = salad + salami and cheese
6. Dinner = chicken & orzo
7. Journal

Hit everything but exercise. There was an emergency at the plant so I was called in. Spent a few hours there which was my exercise time. All in all I had a really great night with friends. I watched calories early in the day so I didn’t feel bad about indulging later. I managed to only go over by about 100cal. I call that a huge win with wine & pizza.
Nothing planned today, so I should get some exercise in.

Today I am going to do some cleaning and recover some patio chair cushions. I don’t know how well this will work but I only need it to work for this summer. Next year I’ll have to buy a new set.
Rodger is building the deck rails today so that it saves time tomorrow and hopefully it will all get done when Brodey is here to help.

Stick to pre-logged foods only For the most part, yes! Only ate a few things not planned because I had forgotten it was the plan from earlier. I know...it's confusing but that's how my brain works.
75+ oz water
NO ICE CREAM Here is where I went off plan. I had forgotten that Saturday night is now me and husband's ice cream night. Once a week only...and I look forward to it!

Hazy, warm and humid day here today, and I'm sure not complaining. Today, I am making my husband a web page for his woodworking and uploading photos to it of the items he makes. I'm not real creative so I'm trying to think it all through before I start. I'm happy he's letting me do this. He is not a "computer guy", although I've worked in IT for almost 28 years.
After I get his page done, I may just hop in my car with my dog and go look for a walking trail near water... Maybe I'd even find somewhere I could sit and fish from shore so I could go when I want and not have to ask my husband to take me out in the boat. He's more of a sitting quietly in the woods kind of guy, and I'm more of a quiet spot near water kind of girl...

Gratitude: Today I am grateful to be furloughed with enough income to keep us afloat during such beautiful weather. It has been a long time since I have been able to spend so much quality time with my husband and my mom (who we just moved to our neighborhood from another state).

@Snowflake1968 Good luck with the patio furniture and the deck! I wouldn't know the first thing about how to recover furniture! I'm glad you are having decent weather! I don't think I could handle the length of your winters! They are long enough in Wisconsin! :flowerforyou:
@Kuhl50 "...camping on our boat with the family. Isolated from others, but wake up to nature each day" sounds like absolute HEAVEN to me! I have told my husband many times if we ever hit the lottery, first big purchase would be a nice boat or a cottage on a lake with my own dock and boat. Enjoy being in the present moment!

@PackerFanInGB - I am so happy that you were able to get your Mother so close before this all happened.
I think our Winters are fairly similar based on the weather that you and @cschmitz110515 report on here.2 -

Sunday was a busy day ...
Make the girls breakfast✅
1hr sweetspot type ride on trainer✅
Help neighbor w building play set✅
Grocery shopping❌
Stay green✅
2 beer max✅
No M&Ms❌❌❌❌
Push-up challenge.. 1 set every hr on the hr today❌ the play set building was an all day affair
-would have been WAY in the red but my guilt got the best of me and hit a second trainer session at night. After winning that season opener on the bike two weeks ago I’m more driven than ever to stay on goal caloric wise. I am worried I might be a tad obsessive about it.
Goals for monday
Stay green
Grocery store after work
Chicken/rice type dinner. Need to start a carb load for Wednesday night race
Tempo ride tonight, aiming for 1.5 hr
No beer
No m&ms

Happy Memorial Day to those of us in the USA. It's hot and humid today, which I used to love, but now it makes the lymphedema in my arm act up if I'm out in it for very long, so I will be looking for things to do inside with the air conditioning today. Kind of a bummer, but I have much to get done, so I'll still be busy. That's one nice thing about being furloughed...I don't have to hold my breath and hope it is nice outside on the weekend because I can get outside any day of the week right now. Not gonna lie...I'm not hating it.
Didn't do nearly as well yesterday, but 6 out of 7 days of staying on plan is better than I've done in a very long time! So, I won't dwell on it. I know what I need to do differently and today I will be more mindful.
Just for Monday:
Pre-log today's food (struggling with this today, as we are getting low on choices...)
Stick to pre-logged foods only
75+ oz water
NO ICE CREAM or COOKIES or Hostess Zingers!

Sew blocks for table runner
Lymphedema arm massage x 2 / Gentle Chair Yoga / wear compression sleeve and glove on arm today to try to bring down swelling
Gratitude Journal:
Gratitude: Today I am grateful my daughter called me to catch me up on her week. I'm grateful my granddaughter, C, texted to touch base also. It makes my whole day start with a smile! :flowerforyou:
