    JFT 1/4– started logging again after 2 month hiatus dueto chest wall contusion=no upper body workouts + 14 day quarantine due to Covid exposure, plus bad eating habits @ the holidays.
    JFT 1/5: log food, the good the bad, the ugly— yes, I need to count every damn chocolate chip!
    Did my 1 1/2 hour workout 6:30 am- 8 am
    Drink 60 oz of water (3 blender bottles)

    So glad to be here & Happy New Year!

    Not the best start to the year ever. I was intending to start the year well yesterday with a run before work and a no-alcohol evening, but those intentions went out of the window when (a) alarm went off on Monday and body was like 'nope, I haven't got up this early in two weeks' (b) PM decided to ruin my evening by announcing another national lockdown - back to only being allowed to leave this poky flat once a day for the same walk/ run on repeat again!

    Today was a bit better though. Didn't manage to drag myself for a run but I did manage to get up slightly earlier and do my new exercise DVD, which is a good start. I also had a reasonable day at work and am also feeling slightly more positive about the whole lockdown situation. It won't be forever and I reminded myself that ultimately, regardless of whether this lockdown could have been prevented/ shorter if the Govt. had enacted better controls earlier (e.g. not opening all the non-essential shops, restaurants and bars in December for everyone to go mad shopping and drinking when cases were already high...), ultimately it's to save lives. So, it's important to suck it up and make the best of it.

    And that's what I intend to do, and have started doing so by agreeing to play online DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS with some colleagues. I am not entirely sure this won't turn out to be a mistake - it will probably be the nerdiest thing I've ever done (possibly - with some competition from the Harry Potter book club I had with my friends where we re-read all seven books and had multiple sessions to discuss each....) and I understand it is probably going to suck my life for the next few months. But.... if there is a time to try something new, that will involve interacting with nice people.... it feels like now is the time! (When else am I going to have hours free with nothing better to do in them?!)

    Weigh-in tomorrow - don't think it's going to be pretty, suspect it will have gone up from the 178 I posted the other day, the boyfriend made up for not being able to go to France over Christmas by cooking ridiculous amounts of fattening French food that he would have eaten and we have been eating that up over the last few days.... However, it is all eaten now so even if tomorrow isn't pretty I can get back on track from there!

    So with that in mind, here's tomorrow's goals:

    - Log everything I eat/drink
    - Be in the green
    - Go for a run

    - Remember to take breaks (meditate/ text friends)
    - Do something fun and/or distracting to wind down/ switch off
    - Support boyfriend with cooking/ washing up
    - Talk to boyfriend in French
    - Start emotional eating toolkit
    - Lights off by 11

      Total Lockdown is a worry, and is especially difficult for those with several children to homeschool. I hope people stay at home and that the numbers begin to drop again. We owe such a lot to the essential workers who
      Put themselves on the line.

    Goals JFT Tuesday
    - Weigh in, OMG that was awful! I had no idea I'd gained that much weight. Well Ok, I did, but I was trying to deny it. But I did weigh in so ✅
    - Work by 8:00 ❌more like 8:30
    - Protein shake for breakfast ✅
    - One soda during the day, then water✅
    - Healthy lunch made up from random healthy snacks I have in the office, didn't pack a lunch.✅
    - 30 minutes of exercise✅
    - 1 self care act✅
    - think we're having crab legs for dinner. If I skip the butter, that comes in low on cals!✅
    - Do bible reading✅
    - Max 1 healthy snack after dinner, if I'm hungry. I've found that saying I can't have one leaves me wanting, but allowing for one makes it easier.✅
    - Bed after the news.

    Today just got away from me. I'm not sure where it went, but at least I didn't play solitaire!!!😁. I did cook for about 3hours.

    @Teigansdadand @Snowflake1968: Thank you and your coworkers for being there for us during these hard and stressful times. I wish people would cooperate and stop getting themselves and others deliberately sick.

    @Bex953172: Take a deep breath and stop demanding miracles from yourself or the kids. Most of the other kids will be in a similar boat and the schools will have to figure it out. (Not easy for the teachers, but will be done)

    @Pridesabitch: Great new about Sierra. Looks like she has a great, but demanding future. Glad your youngest is doing well now

    JFT - Tuesday Jan 5
    Scale 198.2 (This is what happens when I drink water)
    1L of water
    Log all food

    @littleblackskirt - Strength is a good word. I am like you, I've lost weight several times and then gain it back. The logging isn't a hassle to me its the meal prep and saying No to fast food. I really dislike cooking and I'm tired of having to make the decision for what food all the time.

    @pridesabtch - I hope your daughter heals quickly, that is painful. Sierra is beautiful and I would be wanting to shout that to the rooftops too! Congratulations to her.

    @bex953172 - Do you have to homeschool or do they have online learning? My Grandson in the Spring had to do homeschooling and that did not work well at all with him. In September they were given the choice of online school or regular and they chose online. It is completely different than the homeschooling, he logs into a classroom each morning with 20+ other students and a teacher. My daughter just has to make sure he is logged on and not having any tech issues. He is actually doing really well with it academically, he misses his friends though and recess, etc. I bet you "counting ducks at the park", helping you bake or cook, whatever you do with them sticks more than school anyway. What do you remember about elementary school? I don't remember learning, I remember the teachers and friends I made. I remember learning about measurements from helping Dad hold the tape measure and my Grandmother bake.

    @teigansdad - The reasons you mentioned are the reasons my daughter and her husband chose to keep my Grandson doing online learning. I agree that this has changed us all and I'm worried about the children. My Granddaughter (she turned 5 on Sunday) was shy but still willing to try new things, she loved having some independence from her Mom going to preschool. Now she cries and screams every time her Mother leaves the room. When this started she was peeing herself and hadn't for 2 years. It's changed her personality for sure.

    @damselfly7981 - I'm curious about "watering dead plants" too, I assume you mean quit putting energy into something that isn't going to work, but would love to know what you mean.

    @aerochic42 - I hear you about money. It's so hard to come by sometimes.

    @sarah74_vt - nice to see you back

    Well I am at work and should get on with the day. Yesterday our system was down all day and I can't do a lot without it, so I'm hoping it's up and running today.

    Have a great day everyone.



    Wow that’s rough about your granddaughter...
    When Teigan was in second grade we had to bring her to a child councilor because she was having so much anxiety from a psycho teacher

    We ended up going back to her this year starting around June. It’s helped some.

    I suspect there will be a lot of that kinda stuff as things get back to normal and we start to assess the additional damage that had occurred

    Prayers your way. The good thing is I believe kids bounce back pretty quick if in loving and stable environment

    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?

    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.
    Pete

    No I don't work so I guess I have it easier than most parents. My girls are 6, 4 and 2. I notice the lack of education mostly in my 4 year old because she's not made much headway in here reading. Good job I got her looooads of books for Christmas. I just don't know how to teach kids that age. Because some of the maths stuff I just *know* but I don't know how to explain it.

    Like for example my 6 year old was doing units, tens, 100s. And it's so simple but I just couldn't explain it at all lmao.
    What I didn't like is that the nursery asked my 2 year old to get a test when she got a high temp in nursery.

    I didn't, I just kept her off for 2 weeks. I don't know how they expect a 2 year old to have a cotton swab stuck up their nose!

    Im glad your daughter is doing well still!
    I worry about mine because its all early years learning and I really hope they learn enough because I worry how it will affect them in later life too!

    Wow! You’ve got a really tough age groups to work with...
    my wife is SLP, minored in early childhood education and works in school so we really were blessed. I don’t envy your challenge that’s for sure. If I were in charge of math teaching my daughter would be up a creek 🤪

    @klanders30 Welcome to the group!

    @Bex953172 I don't envy you for having to homeschool. I know it's the safest thing and we do what we have to do, but I always found it incredibly difficult to teach my own children when they were very young. I just didn't have the patience. Best of luck to you and the kiddos during this time.

    Vanessa is feeling better today.

    Good news about my older daughter, Sierra. She got a rowing scholarship at the university she really wanted to attend. With the rowing scholarship and the academic scholarships, it is comparable to going in state. She is also up for a 4 year full tuition scholarship which will stack with the athletic scholarship. This would mean tuition and room and board would be covered! They have a brilliant nursing school with all of the latest technology, a 95% first-time pass rate for the NCLEX and partner with some of the best hospitals in Pittsburgh. It is technically a dead period for NCAA DI schools, so she can't sign but has a verbal commitment. Anyway, she won't let me tell many people in the RW, and I'm over the moon excited for her so I'm sharing here.

    [Good day on Tuesday

    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.
    - 1900 calories: 1894 Chose not to go over with another Hershey Kiss
    - Eat between 8 and 6: Done
    - Work out for 60 minutes:75 minutes including a 37 minute, 1.44 mile treadmill walk. Getting better on the treadmill
    - Eat dinner at the table: Done
    - Work on Excel for 15 minutes: None
    - Read at night versus scrolling news feeds: Continuing improvement

    For Wednesday

    - I'm grateful for another individual, a direct report. This gentlemen and I share a passion for self improvement resources. He turned me on to a Mathew McConaughey commencement speech at the University of Texas at Austin. Always thought of McConaughey as a flake but his message that each individual is accountable for their direction was solid. The big benefit to me was the start down the rabbit hole of YouTube resources.

    Reading through posts since yesterday, I just love how people on JFT are so supportive of each other. In these days of isolation & online trolling, you really help make my day. Virtual hugs to everyone! <3

    Recap 1/5 T ~ rest day
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) :) 13/14 & 10.6k
    2) Prelog meals & snacks / net cals zero / 14c water / NO evening snacking! >:)>:)>:) high sodium for days plus eating up Christmas/New Year's treats still in house = net calories RED. ACK!!! Bright spot 13c water :)
    3) Work in office: AJNH / keep up with emails / print CPE, PTO logs = 3/3
    4) Read Advent/Epiphany booklet / prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / thank you card / prep derm bill / prep citrus sale order / one other chore = 6/6
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 6:00 alarm (treadmill before work W) = 1/5 :(

    JFT 1/6 W ~ interrupted sleep & skipped treadmill before work :s
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
    2) Prelog meals & snacks / net cals zero / 14c water / NO evening snacking!
    3) Work in conference room: AJNH / keep up with emails / lug stuff home for rest of week
    4) Drop mail at Post Office / read Advent/Epiphany booklet / 7:00 church for Epiphany service / Calm or Fitbit meditation / one chore
    5) UNPLUG 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / 7:00 alarm (treadmill before work from home)

    With my eating since holidays, can feel my work pants (with no give) tighten uncomfortably. A wake up call if ever there was one!

    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!
    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
    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

    I have lots of thoughts about the historical implications of the pandemic...maybe I will find time to write about it later.

    I think that this experience can teach all of us a lot about resilience. For those of you with kids, you are modelling that and showing them that they can get through hard things and be OK. That's a valuable lesson in and of itself.

    My friend wrote this song that sums up most of the worlds feelings on Covid. It's on FB so I hope that you can open it. It does use the F word quite frequently though so fair warning.

    This pandemic is so hard for so many. I feel for young parents who not only have to figure out how to work and home school at the same time, but helping to keep our kids feel safe. For the medical profession and nurses .. we owe so much to all of you. For the people in isolation and those losing their business. I am 70, and never thought in my lifetime we would see something like this.

    Luv you all ... 2021 is going to be a much better year, and we will all be stronger because of this.

    Wednesday
    - 4 cups of water✔️
    - Log ALL food.✔️
    - Take meds ✔️

    I don't believe it, I've had a full day of food, breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack. And I feel pretty full at the moment and I have 300 cals left out of 1200.
    MFP won't let me log the diary because it's too low!
    I've had an *almost* vegan day with the exception of breakfast because I had Greek yoghurt.
    I don't know what to do? Do I eat more? 😂😂 In 4 years I've never encountered this 😂

    Also wanted to add, I've had a great day mental health wise. Maybe my tablets are finally kicking in but I got up, lounged about for a bit but then I got off my butt and got a shower and the day just flowed from then.
    I washed ALL my pots. Every last one. I'm pretty sure there was nothing left in my cupboards or cutlery tray! Then hoovered, scrubbed all my furniture from sticky hands 😒 and tidied all the girls bits off the floor!

    Im knackered lol! But feel better for it. I can get up in the morning now to a nice clean house and do nothing and not feel guilty about it! Dog might just even get a walk tomorrow!
