Learned yesterday from friend I rarely hear from that her older brother died last month only 5 months after pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Makes my word of the year even more poignant.
Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
So very sorry to hear of your friends brothers death. My brother also passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2008. It is a quick cancer, like my SIL who passed away 2 weeks before Christmas from Bile Duct Cancer, and we just never know what is in store for us.
Gratefulness is a great word for 2021. In the midst of so much tragedy in our world... we still have so very much to be grateful for.

Just started on these forums, i've been using MFP for a while but never this.
Today, is the start of the rest of my life - my new healthy life.
I've put on a lot of weight (about 4 stone) in the past 18 months.
I havent tracked since then - wish me luck.7 -

You’ve got this. Just one day at a time. Build on success or Start fresh each day.2 -
I'm ready to start again in 2021.
Age 59
Height 5'5"
2021 SW 168lbs
GW 147lbs (will then reassess)
I am a typical yo-yo dieter. I've lost weight several times, but have never mastered maintaining my efforts. I lose focus and forget that maintaining takes effort too! I intend this time to be the last time. I retired from my proper job a couple of years ago, it was fairly physical job with a lot of walking and lifting, so I need to replace that exercise. It's never easy to exercise with my back issues, but I walk when I can.
This year
I will lose 21lbs
I will walk every day I can
I will do osteopath recommended core exercises
I will log on MFP
I will smile and appreciate each day (sounds silly but I believe people who live alone don't smile and laugh as much, as they don't have as many interactions with other people).
Word for 2021 Strength
I have chosen Strength because as I'm getting older I'm becoming more interested in maintaining muscle strength, I do not want to become frail in old age. Also, I'm attempting strengthening exercises to help my back pain. Finally, it takes strength to keep going logging month after month!
I logged today, first time in a while. Scotland goes back into lockdown tonight. I managed to lose weight in the lockdown last year, I can do it again!
One day at a time, lose 21lbs in 2021.6 -

I had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Only one of those days was completely off the rails. So that’s good!
I’ve been really struggling w stress eating. I think probably work related. I’m a acute care nurse practitioner w a specialty in pulmonary and critical care so you guessed it... COVID has been my life for the last 10 months
We have a hospital in our city just for covid
I’m staffing the ICU For the next 3 weeks
I think just the overall stress of seeing so much death and the frustration I have even from family members either brainwashed into thinking this is a conspiracy or too selfish to understand even the smallest of inconveniences such as the mask is just slowly eroding my soul.
Sorry for being a bummer
Just foe Monday goals
Stay green
Make dinner after work
No beer
No candy
Zwift workout
Pull ups
Push-ups
Get calendar for bills
That is an incredible amount of stress, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for all you do!

Rick your Minday all!
Well today didn’t go as planned. Had to take my youngest to the ER this evening. It turns out that she has an ovarian cyst rupture, and things are fine now. No visible cysts remaining. Needless to say my workout got skipped, but with reason not by excuse.
Otherwise the day was good. I managed not to snack after dinner today and stay under my calorie allotment.6 -
Okay, I have to ask @damselfly7981 , do you make a habit of watering dead plants? Or is this a cryptic phrase which means something completely different?!
@pridesabtch glad that your daughter is okay.

So I don't have to send the kids to school today.
The school decided to close before No. 10 even announced a national lockdown. I'm glad because of the safety concerns but I'm not gonna lie, I hate home learning.
I find it hard because they're all different ages and Casey is very distracting. Like, very. But I'll give it my best go again as I'm pretty worried about the amount they've missed through the lockdowns but also mine missed 8 weeks of school when I was between houses. But I'm no teacher, I'm pretty good at maths and English but I don't know how to explain it to a child in a way that makes sense to them.
Goals for Tues
- 4 cups of water
- fruit only for snacks.
- Log log log.
- Prep some homelearning?5 -
Tuesday 5 January
Good morning. I hope you all have a good day and meet your goals. Thinking of those of you returning to stressful jobs and thank you to the key workers who are keeping us afloat including @teigansdad and @Snowflake1968 . @Bex953172, I’m guessing your girls are not returning to school so one less worry but a new challenge with them being at home for an extended period! Welcome to the new people.

Thanks everyone for letting me vent yesterday
I think this pandemic is wearing on us all. I feel like we are making history.. I wonder how this will define us all? 100 years from now how will history remember us? I feel like this is going to define who my 13 year old daughter is.. so many different challenges she had faced that I didn’t have to as a kid.
Agains thanks guys I just needed to vent yesterday (:

Good day on Monday
For Monday:
-I'm grateful for the ability to restart and restart again. Even with the off the rail periods, I get back on the horse and over extended time I'm making progress.
-1900 calories: 1730
-Eat between 8 and 6: Busy morning, late start to eating 11 to 6
-Work out for 60 minutes and continue treadmill progress:68 minutes including a 32 minute, 1.36 mile treadmill walk. Getting easier but still not as fast as outside
-Eat dinner at the table: Done
-Work on Excel for 30 15 minutes: Nope
-Read at night versus scrolling news feeds: More book time each night
For Tuesday
- I'm grateful for a co worker. I left 17 years at a large organization where I had a significant network and three close allies I trusted completely. Moved to a smaller organization to finish out my career and was fortunate to find a kindred spirit who has the same large company background and desire to make this the last run. Good sounding board and an outlet to vent when needed. Good friend.

Glad to here about the school staying remote... are you working from home too? How old are your kiddos? My daughter Teigan has been remote since either March or April (can’t remember) . Academically she’s actually done well. She’s super driven. Luckily socially there are two other girls her age in neighborhood and our best friends (we’ve all kinda stayed a “pod”) so I think she’s done as good as could hope for.
My wife Sara Is a SLP in the schools. They have had k-2 I think going back since January
Scary because the school system is less than honest about potential exposures and keep changing the goal post as to what they will accept as risk.
Not so worried about the kids.. but what about their grandparents, parents and teachers? We all know there are parents who will send their kid to school loaded up with Tylenol to mask a fever. I guess we will see over the next month.
Anyway hope you all are staying healthy.
