I think it's good your controlling your lent to one sweet treat a day rather than completely cutting it out.
It's hard to go cold turkey and is just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth!
I'm an all or nothing sort of person. I find it hard to limit because one treat can easily turn into the whole pack 😂
So well done finding something that's working for you!
The only thing I have managed to limit is bread. Just 2 slices a day. Carbs bloat me alot and it's 100cals/slice so I can't "afford" to eat more than that if I want to stay in my calories x
So I always need to choose between toast at breakfast or sandwich for lunch x6 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. (unless I need to earlier because of our walk) I have to fast again this evening. I can still have my dose of metamusal.3

Hi Everyone.. I hope you all had a good Monday! *️⃣ I did a 20 min body weight reps and stretching session. Not sure if I would call it a workout .. as I didn’t work up a sweat. But the stretching was great.. didn’t know I was so sore. So I saved my 1st weight training for tomorrow when I have more time to dedicate to it.3 -

9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement2 -

Manic Monday!
Yesterday (and today for that matter) are a whirl wind of f**k ups at work. We are trying to get a handle on it, but the scope keeps growing. All in all its a complete s*it show. Stress in the area is through the roof, everyone is on edge as this has been escalated to a global incident. UGHHHHH!
I did day one of my 20 week training plan for a half marathon yesterday. It was a rather simple workout, but it was taxing for me. I have to get my body to where it can tolerate the impact of this heavier body. Which means starting with very short running intervals. I feel pretty good today, but I was rather stiff when I got up. Nothing a little ibuprofen couldn't handle. Today is supposed to be cross-train and Thursday is supposed to be rest, but I'm switching those out as I teach on Thursday. Tonight I am painting sets at the HS for the production of Footloose. Gotta go buy paint first. Well gotta go get a remote for my mom's TV first, first.
V has an echo cardiogram tomorrow, so prayers would be appreciated. Nothing serious, more informational. They don't think she has any issues, but because of her hypermobility which is due to weak connective tissues and her dad's mitral valve prolapse they want to give her heart a good once over.
JFT Tuesday

I need ideas for filling breakfasts that I can prep ahead of time that don't include seeds/nuts (no allergies, just dont like them)
My favorite make-ahead breakfast that is filling is overnight oats. There're all kinds of recipes online.
My current favorite is apple (one of the best fruit ever), as I use up apples in the fridge. 1/2 c oats, 1/4 c low fat vanilla yogurt, 1/2 c milk (I use 1%), 1 t chia seeds, 1/2 c (or whatever size I have) chopped apple, and sprinkle cinnamon on top to taste. Sometimes I add nuts, but optional.
I also love mango, with chopped mango in the freezer section of the grocery store, or strawberry. I use fresh strawberries in season, and when I have extra, I chop & freeze berries for off-season. You can use any fruit you like, fresh or frozen, and change things up. By making the night before, any frozen fruit is thawed and perfect by morning.4 -

Hopping on tonight to post my goals for tomorrow. I've just read the past few days to catch up, and I have so many I'd like to reply to but didn't take notes unfortunately.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a really nice day! I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed my birthday in a long time.
WELCOME NEW JFTer's!!!!
@more_freggies76 Congrats on the good colonoscopy results. They're no fun but so important.
@MLCTX I'm sure that "probably benign" isn't quite what you wanted to hear, but just want to share with you that it has been my experience that anytime my providers weren't as sure as they could be without an actual biopsy, they did more tests. So I'm going to think positive thoughts and say YAY! for benign! :flowerforyou:
Also, thanks for the info about Hannah. I logged into FB and looked her up and I also didn't like the post from October. @Snowflake1968 I hope you hear back from her!
@Beachwalker99 I closed my eyes and imagined your walk by the stream with the sounds of tree frogs and it felt so calming... I don't think water near us is open yet...still iced over.
@pridesabtch Saying a prayer right now for V's echo tomorrow. :flowerforyou:
@Bex953172 I hope you start feeling better real soon! (((HUGS))) Do you have the same phone number for What's App? I was going to send you a message today but wasn't sure.
I find myself feeling a bit down lately. The past few years were pretty messed up, and now with all the sad things going on in this world... I need to start making myself get out of the house and doing something every day. It's too easy to sit inside and hide and isolate. Not healthy for my brain. I'm sure looking forward to spring!
Just for Today / Wednesday- Make a 24H Plan and assess yesterday's
- Drink 64 oz water before 6pm
- Get out of house for at least 30 minutes
- Tasks (ongoing): Sign form at Ortho / Send form to Rheumatology / Taxes / Call April / Dog food / appt at 1:10 / banana bread / bookcase rearrange
- Declutter (ongoing): Tupperware cupboard / Bathroom cupboard / Rx drawer / Sewing room
- Log food and close Food Journal
- Gratitude Journal
- Readings: Simple Abundance / JM / DO
WOTY: Intentional2 -
Hello JFT friends!! I wrote out a post with goals for tomorrow, and I had replied to many posts on here but it disappeared when I clicked Post Reply. That sure is frustrating...
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES! It was a really nice day and I enjoyed it a lot!
I'll hop back on tomorrow for goals. In the meantime, I just want to say:
@pridesabtch I said a prayer for V's echo tomorrow!
@Bex953172 I hope you feel better soon! Do you have same phone number for What's App? I was going to text you today but wasn't sure.
@MLCTX (((HUGS))) I'm sure you'd rather hear 'definitely benign' but I think the fact they aren't doing more tests on it is a good sign, don't you? :flowerforyou: Thanks for the info on Hannah. I hope she writes back to @Snowflake1968.
@more_freggies76 Congrats on the colonoscopy results. Good news!
