    @mytime6630 - You are doing a great job of being consistent coming here and posting. It's nice to see you regularly.

    @beachwalker99 - "Forget the Cheez-its; I'm going to bed" Smart move! I wish I could do that. My husband goes to bed at 9pm almost religiously, but if I go to bed and try to fall asleep before 10pm my snoring wakes him up. That one hour is my worst hour of the day usually. I know it's because I'm tired and just trying to stay awake.

    @jeschepp - I am hoping if the weather continues the way it has been for this week that maybe I'll be able to get out and do some walking. I am waiting for all of the ice to be gone. My hip issue has made me nervous on ice, but the last couple of days I have been able to to do my side leg lifts to a count of 10 so the strength is returning.

    @bex953172 - I think that sometimes our aim of perfection makes us mess up even more. Even if we aren't perfect if we are trying we are doing something.

    @pridesabtch - That is a lot of deer. That is like the area I grew up. I lived 7 miles outside of town so we were in their territory.

    Welcome to the newbies. I have to get some work done.

    Just for Sunday, 3/7/2021
    1. Drink 64 oz water - 2 Qt pitcher is full & on my counter in plain sight! Adding a bit of SF Cranberry juice for color and taste. :#Only about 50 oz.
    2. 30 minutes of intentional activity (Short walk around block? Yoga? Tai Chi? Modified Body Groove?) :#Husband took Maddie for a walk instead of me, as we decided my knee needed another day of babying.
    3. Hand Weights (Design a beginner program and start it today.) :#I don't know why on earth I haven't done this! I have the weights downstairs sitting out and ready to go. Perhaps it's because they are on my quilting table and I tend to go for the fabric instead? LOL
    4. Complete a No BS module and/or vision board video :)
    5. 24H Plan and Assess. :smile: Done
    6. Journal :smile: Done
    7. 15 minutes self-care :)Spent quiet time in quilting corner making a table topper for March. Felt good to turn my brain off and lose myself.
    8. 15 minutes of self improvement :)Podcasts
    9. Be kind and patient today. Count to 10 before growling at someone. Don't be such a B. :)
    10. Read from the Bible today. >:)
    11. Get ready for bed one hour early, nighttime facial/teeth routine, gratitude journal, daily readings and end by reading for pleasure until lights out. (Lights out by 11:00). :)


    Good morning! I got up this morning at 06:30, before my alarm went off at 0700. It was so nice getting up before my husband and having that quiet cup of coffee while I wrote out my 24H plan for the day. That's the time I used to get up when I was working, so I'm hoping that it will become more of a daily habit. It's the small things, right?

    I did manage not to eat the whole bag of mini Reese's cups yesterday, but I did eat 3 of them before my husband actually hid them last night. I think that's pretty good considering they were out on the kitchen counter ALL DAY! They are hidden now, so I will be looking forward to having 2 of them later today. :smile:

    @jeschepp I'm from Minnesota and most of my family lives there. My dad is about 20 miles NE of Brainerd on a lake. My brother is between the cities and St. Cloud. The rest of my family are in NE Mpls. 60 degrees in March up there is awesome! We usually get your weather the next day, and today it is supposed to be in the mid-50's. I can't wait to get outside for some fresh air.

    @mytime6630 Thanks for the pep talk. You're right...that is What I would say to you! I was really mad at myself yesterday. I feel like I sabotage myself at the last minute all the time and it's so frustrating! I'm so glad you had McDonald's and a "normal" type day! So glad you were able to have a firepit with your daughter last night! I'll bet she was happy to spend time with you!

    Welcome to the new folks! I'm Tracie, from Wisconsin.

    Tim just informed me that my two mini Reese's cups are hidden, so now it's on! :mrgreen:


    Just For Monday, 3/8
    1. Drink 64 oz water - 2 Qt pitcher is full & on my counter in plain sight!
    2. 30 minutes of intentional activity (non-impact)
    3. Hand Weights (Design a beginner program and start it today!!.)
    4. Complete a No BS module and/or vision board video
    5. 24H Plan and Assess. :smile: Done
    6. Journal :smile: Done
    7. 15 minutes self-care
    8. 15 minutes of self-improvement
    9. Be kind and patient today. Count to 10 before growling at someone. Don't be such a B.
    10. Finish table topper, find documents for 2020 taxes, vacuum & dust.
    11. Get ready for bed one hour early, nighttime facial/teeth routine, gratitude journal, daily readings and end by reading for pleasure until lights out. (Lights out by 11:00).


    Today, I am grateful for:
    1. 54 degrees in March in WI
    2. MFP JFT friends
    3. Morning cuddles with Maddie

    What is one small change I can make today to help with my weight loss?  
    If I snack tonight, I will have yogurt vs ice cream. Also, for dinner with my taco salad, I will count out 1 serving of tostitos vs grabbing by handfuls from the bag.[/i]

    Had a pretty good day. I decided to start slowly building up to running. And I mean SLOW. Nowhere near the C25K pacing. I've learned to trust my body with building up running intervals. Managed 1.5 minutes spread out across 15-20 second intervals during my 30 minute walk. May not seem like much, but for someone who pretty much sat most of the last year I'm very proud. I definitely can feel my energy and stamina up. I've always been great at starting goals but struggle with maintenance. I think it helps to post here and feel accountable, but also to set different goals every few weeks/each month to keep me striving for something.

    JFT Monday:
    80 oz water ✅
    stay in the green ✅
    meet all serving recommendations for 5 food groups ✅
    30 minutes exercise ✅
    screens off 8:30 ✅
    track food, exercise, water and post on JFT ✅

    @Bex953172 woo hoo! Does that mean more time for you?
    @marinaseret Welcome! Nice work getting started!
    @CupcakeCrusoe Welcome! You’ll be out of the funk in no time!
    @WellingTX Those are some impressive stats! I don’t think I’ve done that many pushups in my life.
    @beachwalker99 Great attitude!
    @Snowflake1968 I hear you about the ice, I am SUPER cautious. Until this past weekend, I’d been taking my YakTrax out.
    @PackerFanInGB I am just outside of the west metro. I will send some sunshine and warm spring air your way!

    Monday


    - Log all food ❌
    - Drink 8 cups of water❌
    - Exercise ❌

    I was full of optimism yesterday morning. I don't know what the hell happened lmao!
    Was the first day of school for the kids returning, and I celebrated with a nice long nap, I needed it.

    Im really struggling to my keep to my goals. It always starts well then tapers off. And now it's becoming a bit deflating. Why are my goals so simple but not easy lol.

    I was temped not to post today because what's the point if I don't even bother achieving them, it was getting a bit embarrassing to constantly fail lol. BUT that's just going further backwards, need to take responsibility and just go with it

    So Tuesday..

    - Log food (I dont even have to be under calories, just LOG IT)
    - Water (reducing to 4 for now to make it easier)
    - Exercise

    I think that's weight loss in a nutshell- simple, but not easy. Today's a new day. You can do it.

    As for my goals yesterday...

    ✅ Eat at least 95g protein, the rest will follow.
    ✅ look over city council agenda for tomorrow to see what they're up to

    We finished toasting all the frames! And today my new blueberry bushes come in, so...

    JFT:
    - walk at least 7k steps
    - plant all 6 blueberry bushes and mulch the bed
    - Eat at least 95g protein again, that worked well yesterday for keeping hunger down
    - zoom tutoring this afternoon
    - go to bed early, you're exhausted

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of January: 189.8
    End of February: 190.0
    Today: 189.2

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall).
    2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
    6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning – March? ObG schedule for April. Schedule PCP for May.
    7. Theater: Little Princess.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story. Open Wordpress in Safari.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 15 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks, horse stance for 5 breaths.
    14. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

    WFTY: Persistence. So tomorrow is my dentist appointment. Yay? *sigh*
    Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.

    JFT 3/9 T
    1) Move hourly
    2) Log food / net cals zero / 12c water
    3) Meditation / unplug 9:00 / wash left eye / floss / retainers / Voltaren / no alarm (W only day this week no a.m. appt.)

    Decided to post JFT and keep very simple. Adjusting to right eye corrected (except now I can't read from that eye) and bad vision in left eye. Can't believe the difference and realized now how accustomed to cloudy vision I had become. Everything in my right eye is so much brighter! But only until Thurs then left eye surgery.

    2021 Goals:
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. 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.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings

    So Tuesday..

    - Log food (I dont even have to be under calories, just LOG IT) ✔️I was over in calories but logged it all apart from a couple of snacks last night which I forgot what they are now lol
    - Water (reducing to 4 for now to make it easier) ❌
    - Exercise ✔️

    Not too bad yesterday, I atleast logged everything. I'm real tired today. I washed the girls uniform last night and fell asleep before I could get it in the dryer. So this morning was manic with getting their stuff dry and getting them to school on time which I managed by literally the last minute lol!
    The weather is dreary over here, grey and raining :/

    Goals for Weds

    - Log all food
    - 4 waters
    - Exercise
    -
    Have a nice day everyone. X

    Good morning! It's a gray, rainy day here in Green Bay but I guess it'll melt snow so I'm okay with it! Supposed to stop raining this afternoon. I'm hoping my knees will allow me to walk my fur buddy later. If not, Tim will take her and I will find something in the house low impact.

    I had a NSV last night that is so small but so huge to me at the same time that I'm feeling good today. I actually did not snack after dinner. That simply does not happen in my world. Tim even went and grabbed popsicles and popcorn, and I made a cup of hot apple cinnamon tea. Today, I weighed myself and I'm finally down. Of course, that's not all I did to make that happen, but it sure made me feel like I finally had a WIN. Going for day 2 now...

    @Bex953172 That is hilarious! I'm so glad you are feeling better! I think having the kiddos back in school will help a lot also. I don't know how parents have handled the past year. I would have gone bonkers!

    @mytime6630 It sounds like you had a great day yesterday! I think the nicer weather and putzing outside brings out the best in us, doesn't it? :smile:

    Just For Wednesday, 3/10
    1. Drink 64 oz water - 2 Qt pitcher is full & on my counter in plain sight!
    2. Intentional activity (non-impact) either 30 minutes at one time or 15 minutes x2
    3. Log food
    4. Complete a No BS module and/or vision board video
    5. 24H Plan and Assess. :smile: Done
    6. Journal :smile: Done
    7. 15 minutes self-care
    8. 15 minutes of self-improvement/research
    9. Be kind and patient today. Count to 10 before growling at someone. Don't be such a B.
    10. Finish table topper, find documents for 2020 taxes.
    11. Close kitchen at 7 PM

    My 5 Why's:
    1. Clothing: Waist of clothes too tight and uncomfortable. T-shirts vs tunics. Jeans vs leggings.
    2. Flexibility: Tie my shoes easier, self pedicures, getting up from floor
    3. Longevity: Cardiac health and strength, Lower Glucose, Prevent disease recurrence.
    4. Strength/Fitness: I want to walk a 5k in 2021. I want to be able to hike in nature.
    5. Photos: I want to be able to let people take photos of me without being embarrassed and self loathing.

    Today, I am grateful for:
    1. Rain that is melting the snow! (I can see our neighbors grass!)
    2. My husband, who is also my best friend. :heart:
    3. Laughter

    What is one small change I can make today to help with my weight loss?  
    (1) If I snack tonight, I will have yogurt vs ice cream. (2) I will measure out servings of side dish with our pork chops tonight. This will be tough, since it's probably going to be mac & cheese which I LOVE.

    WOTY 2021: Consistency
    I am capable of achieving any goal that I really, really want.

    Recap 3/9 T
    1) Move hourly :neutral: 10/14 & 5.1k
    2) Log food / net cals zero / 12c water :/ -424 & 12c
    3) Meditation / unplug 9:00 / wash left eye / floss / retainers / Voltaren / no alarm (W only day this week no a.m. appt.) = 3/7

    JFT 3/10 W
    1) Move hourly
    2) Log food / net cals zero / 12c water
    3) Webinars 12:00 & 1:00 (need all the free CPEs I can get with training budget slashed to zero)
    4) Call on prescription (what happened to auto-renew?) / activate cc points offer / other chore?
    5) Meditation / UNPLUG 9:00 / wash left eye / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren (knees feeling better with milder temps) / 6:30 alarm (be at surgery center 8:00 for left eye)

    Yesterday I found my stash of old eyeglasses (intend to donate) and using one pair temporarily as cheaters for reading. Not used to needing glasses only for close up, but I'll adjust. Not reading much anyway, on computer, phone or otherwise, b/c my two eyes are battling each other for now. Recovery going well, pressure check yesterday was excellent.

    It's a gray, rainy day here. The mild temps & rain are helping to melt the snow we still have. Spring is coming!

    @jeschepp How exciting for you to be able to see your grandparents!

    2021 Goals:
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. 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.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
    9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up
    Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
