    @Anniesquats100 Good call on reschedule of mom’s appointment.

    I read an interesting article in a magazine a few months ago. It was suggested that setting our goals in negative terms about what we’re not going to do was counter intuitive. The brain sees the goal, and concentrates on the action, ignoring the ‘I will not’ bit’. For example
    If you write:
    I will not eat cookies.
    … The brain latches onto the eat cookies and obsesses over them, making it difficult for you to resist them.

    Food for thought?

    Positive Habit development is believed to short-circuit this tendency.

    JFT Monday
    - Early meeting :smiley: (took it at home)
    - Pack some fruit salad :smiley: -
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Work stuff :smiley:
    - Home at 4:30 :smiley:
    - Work on V's room with her :smiley:
    - Put away laundry :(
    - Have V sort through her laundry and thin out the stuff she doesn't wear. The child has more clothes than she knows what to do with. She went through this process with her shoes. There is a brand new pair of Converse (with tags) that she no longer wants. Ughhhh... I don't even think she remembered she had them. :(
    - Watch hockey and eat leftover pizza for dinner :smiley:
    - No alcohol :smiley:
    - Bed by 11:30 (though lately its more like 9:00) :smiley:

    Have a delightful Monday y'all!
    -

    So after working on V's room, I decided laundry and sorting could wait until today. I really don't want her to feel overwhelmed. Anyway, the room is cleaner than it has been in quite some time.

    Today is work, laundry and spin class. Not necessarily in that order. Spin is at 6:00 so laundry may be before and or after... Other than that no real plans for the day. Oh, I packed a lunch and forgot it at home, grrr...

    JFT Tuesday
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Meetings
    - Instrument repair tech coming today
    - Protein bar for lunch
    - Afternoon meetings
    - Home early
    - Nap
    - Laundry
    - Spin
    - Laundry
    - hockey
    - no alcohol
    - bed by 11:30

    Have a great Tuesday y'all!

    I totally agree with this! I try to phrase my goals with 'I will' instead. Recently I have been snacking on a salty sweet (which I love & crave) and tell myself "I will not eat more than one portion". Of course, I eat more than one portion. Maybe if I rephrase to "I will eat one portion & stop." I'll see if that helps.

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    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 track daily on a separate app (for the visual). 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 ~
    • 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
    • registered for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    I have a pot roast on the stove for my parents, but we have a Dr appointment at 4:00 so it may not get done. It is frozen solid now. Too late to come to my senses and pick something else. I was hoping that magically there would be more time between groceries and the doctor. Lol 😊

    2. No cookies yes
    3. Eat under my calorie limit yes
    4. Dumbbells 40 reps yes

    2. No cookies
    3. Eat under my calorie limit
    4. Yoga

    @Snowflake1968 I'm so sorry for your daughter's and your family's loss. You are right, it is very hard to see your children in pain.

    I'm so annoyed with myself. I lost 3lbs in the April challenge on here, and I've put it all back on again. I'm an expert in yoyo-ing up and down. I don't think my meals are over in calories, though I often don't plan ahead, but I've been snacking on biscuits. You'd think I'd have learnt by now that snacking doesn't make me feel better! I'm facing yet another summer annoyed that I'm still a stone overweight because I can't get myself together for long enough to lose it. Sigh, at this rate I'll be on my deathbed still cursing that extra stone.
    I'll have to tackle this in the shop. My willpower isn't strong enough right now to say no, so the biscuits need to not be in my house.

    JFT Wednesday 25th May

    Stay under maintenance
    Only one small snack
    Foot exercises
    Back exercises
    Holiday let laundry (have done the easy stuff, have all the stained stuff left to do)
    Ironing
    Paperwork/bills

    Yet again it's raining and windy, I'm so sick of this chilly weather. I have loads to do in the garden, but I'm not so keen that I'm doing it in the rain, it's meant to be a pleasure!

    May Challenge

    Week 1 180/150
    Week 2 0/150
    Week 3 160/150
    Week 4 64/150

    @snowflake1968 So sorry for you daughters loss..and your families.
    I know only too well the pain she's going through too :( and I agree, no one should have to go through that. It would break my heart if my kids had to go through the same
    Thoughts are with you and her xx

    Have a great Tuesday y'all!

    Yesterday work was a drag, I actually didn't have much to do for a change. Okay, there weren't many pressing things to do, though there are plenty of things for me to work on. I was just not into it yesterday. I left early and was going to take a nap, but instead I started separating the clean laundry so V could sort through her piles of clothes and purge that stuff she never wears. That was a huge success. Between she and her sister there are 5 large garbage bags of clothes in my living room waiting to go to Goodwill, and a huge pile of perfectly good shoes destined for others. Heck there is a pair of black Converse that still has tags. I really need to do my closet as well, but I'm not ready to let go of my smaller clothes yet. I dressed really cute when I was smaller.

    I was a bit tired and not looking forward to teaching spin, but once I got there and got started, I had a fun time and got a great workout in.

    Tonight we are doing date night and playing trivia at the new place (we tried it 2 weeks ago). Its much tougher competition, so we won't win as often, but it will be fun. I just need to limit my intake while I'm there. Like the other, it is like 7:00-8:30 or 9:00 so its an early night that doesn't cause problems with work the next day.

    Thinking today may be a half day, I'm just over being here this week and it's only Wednesday...

    JFT Wednesday
    - Up by 6:45 :(

    @TerriRichardson112 - I agree that the way we phrase goals for ourselves or for others can affect the outcome. In general, I try to avoid using "no" and "should," which can contribute to feelings of guilt or shame when the goal is not achieved, in favor of wording that emphasizes choice and agency. This strategy works well in the classroom, but it took me a surprisingly long time to apply it to myself.

    My brief daily goals on JFT are generally a combination of reminders and suggestions. Keeping things simple and flexible seems to work best for me.

    Recap - Tuesday 5/24
    Log - :)
    Balanced meals - Relatively healthy choice, but too many carbs.
    Hydrate - :)
    Walk - :) Walked in the park for 76 minutes
    Garden - No. Took a nap instead.
    Recycling - :)
    Errands (gas, Costco returns, bank)? :) All except the bank.
    Prep and grading - :)

    JFT Wednesday 5/25
    Log
    Balanced meals
    Hydrate

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    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 track daily on a separate app (for the visual). 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 ~
    • 1.31.22 forgot to measure & log (DDS 8:20, quick stops at bread store & grocery essentials, then to mom & dad's for her bday)
    • 3.1.22 (still recovering from flu 2.23-2.25)
    • 3.31.22 maintaining not gaining
    • 4.30.22 barely maintaining
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    • Started PT (physical therapy) exercises 1.28.22 due to overuse of arthritic knees
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22 ~ medico nixed race b/c inflammation in knee due to overuse & my arthritis = sad me but good for my knee
    • registered for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    Yesterday was kind of a lost day. Was busy at work and on camera all morning, so I did not get breakfast until noon. Had a minor but painful medical procedure and decided that I did not feel like exercising. Oh, and it rained, not a great day to work out outside. Good news is that I should be able to swim later this week!

    I've had a brilliant day. After days of over eating and eating complete rubbish. I woke up and thought "not today!"
    And I've stuck with it.

    I've ate healthily. No biscuits, no crisps (god I love crisps). I've kept my meals small and measured.
    And I exercised. Like not just random bits here and there. I got YouTube up and just did a short 15 min cardio video. It got my heart rate up, I felt the burn 😅

    Only thing I'm lacking on now is water but only because I didnt fill my water bottle up like I normally do. I can still get more in before bedtime.


    Tried to find the protein shaker. Got it all but the insert that mixes the protein into the water. So it's essentially useless. Really dont want to get the blender out just for a protein shake.

    Might even do another short exercise once my dinners settled and the kids are showered and in bed

    Hope everyone else has a great day!

    @Bex953172 good job! Sounds like you made it a great day!

    I'm down to zero calories and it's only 3:45. I wasn't watching closely enough. I should be good for the day though. A tight squeeze but I can do it! Because I want that scale to be down on Friday!

    Ok I'm tired. The power went out and mom wouldn't sit quietly. Such a trip hazard. She is afraid of the dark but I am more afraid of her falling. But all is well now except for the resetting of the clocks.
