I have some goals for this year and boundaries I plan to use for the year. I started my journey in 2009 but have had a lot of ups and downs. I have finally gotten to a point where I think I know what my long term boundaries have to be to keep myself on that track.
Long Term Boundaries:
Calories between 1200-1800 every day, even on special occasions.
Only water from 8pm to 10am except for special occasion days or Sundays (when we leave by 10am).
Exercise at least 3 days a week.
Keep blood sugar under control by diet and exercise alone. No diabetic medications.
Get weight to "overweight" instead of "obese" (only 5 lbs from this goal)
Just for today:
Keep to calorie boundaries
Be sure to get in a walk
Pasta day for dinner!
Drink at least 100 oz of water
Welcome to the group! And literally any one can join at any time! Were a pretty come and go as you please group. Sometimes people go off for a while, even up to a year but they come back and it's like nothings changed 😂
I like your idea of long term boundaries too!2 -

Good morning JFT friends! Well, the morning went good. Got all 3 grandkids up without too much complaining and out the door and to school on time. Then I got a call from older grandson to come get him because he isn't feeling well. I know the other two kids were sick last week, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and picked him up and took him home. He doesn't miss much school, so hopefully my son won't be mad at me for "falling for it".
I'm at home now. I have laundry to do at both houses and I need to dust and do the floors at my house and their house today also. I've been coming home to shower and dress after I drop the kids off at school so I don't have to pack a bag for the week. They live only about 3 miles from us (maybe not even that far) so it's been pretty easy. Plus, my dog is pretty happy to see me in the morning. My husband said she mopes and lays by the door in the evening waiting for me to come home. Awwww...<melt my heart>.
I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight. Last night I made chicken nuggets, mac & cheese and tater tots. I made a bunch and all they ate was the mac & cheese...well, the boys did anyway...my granddaughter didn't eat ANYTHING. So I had a ton of food leftover. I feel like I'm wasting their food, not to mention I now have leftover chicken nuggets and tater tots in the fridge begging me to eat them! 🤦♀️
@Snowflake1968 Yes! Party lines! We had one too. I don't know who we shared our line with but I remember always having to listen to make sure nobody else was picking up the line and listening in... Oh my gosh. Times sure have changed. Now I don't leave the house without a phone in my purse. Crazy. My son and DIL are on a Princess cruise ship in the Caribbean. I am so jealous! I think I need to try a cruise someday... Good luck on the interview! What job did you apply for? Fingers crossed!
@Bex953172 I agree it's hard even when you're young. I had just forgotten how hard it is. Plus, I'm not used to getting up early in the morning anymore. I was pretty proud of myself for waking up before the alarm went off at 05:30 this morning! Two more days of getting up early, then my son and DIL will be home around suppertime on Sunday.
Just for Wednesday, 3/8/2023- 24H Plan & Assess
- 64 oz water before 7 pm
- Close activity rings
- Bills & Balance.
- Laundry, Dust & floors @ home and @ Bob's.
- Sew another more patchwork heart block for table runner
- Errands
- Bed early tonight.
WOTY 2023: Balance
Hahah I wouldn't worry too much about "falling for it", you have the privilege of being "Grandma" so you can let him come home and chill out and such, you can spoil them rotten 😂
As "mum" .. when Marley did it to try and have the day off on Ash's birthday, I said, well you've told me your poorly. So you can't have treats or chocolate, were not taking you to the park or anything like that.
I did let her have her phone to play on but it was boring because there was no one to play with because everyone was at school.
So she basically had to have the most rubbish day ever just to teach her a lesson, I felt so so so bad but... It flipping worked I've had no more "mystery illnesses" lmao xx3 - 24H Plan & Assess

Hey everyone
I can't log yesterday's food. I reckon I'd be over though. We had Indian takeaway seeing as we got paid. Not had one in sooo long it was delicious!!
So I had good day yesterday. Plus Saskia after-school choir was cancelled which I was secretly happy about. I like that they can do after school activities but I don't like the fact that I have to walk to school, pick up the younger two, walk home, get home for 5 minutes then walk BACK to the school to pick her up whilst ash watches the other two. Some days you're just not in the mood for it! And yesterday was one of them days.
As for today, it's started well, went to Primark to exchange a shirt of Ashs for a smaller size. Got myself a coffee. Got home and got on my stepper for 25 minutes today!
It's kinda great cause I just flick through YouTube Shorts whilst im on it and time flies.
Did some leg stretches after cause they felt a bit stiff yesterday and sore so I made sure I stretched today.
Had another coffee and now I'm just thinking about what to do with my day!
My next thing to add onto my goals is water. The food Ive reduced quite alot. I don't eat breakfast anymore, if I do eat breakfast, I'm kinda forcing it and then won't eat lunch so? I don't need it. I really dont. I've been like that since college though, I always skipped breakfast. I just don't like eating in the morning. And I don't even get hungry til around 12-1pm each day.
But I need to up my water, I count my coffees in my water intake so it shouldn't be too hard. I've been focuses on my exercise and food, now I need to SLOWLY introduce the water.
Either way, whatever I'm doing right now, I'm enjoying, and I'm ACTUALLY doing it. But it's far too soon to see if I get any results, so can't exactly say what I'm doing is working until I have some evidence. Hopefully I see a change on the scale in the next week or so!

Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2023 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be satisfied if I can get back down to 160# this yearWord for 2022-23: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP 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.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ 1.31.23 ack! 2.28.23 not better but not worse
- Try new recipes now that I have the time
January: parsnip/potato mash; St. Louis gooey butter cake (Mom's bday) =
February: creamy bacon corn chowder (slow cooker); banana bread (using applesauce & oil); braised lamb shanks with lentils (slow cooker); apple cake (with buttermilk) =
January 1x6 days, 1x5 days, 2x4 days =
February 1x6 days, 2x5 days, 1x4 days =- Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
- Continue PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
January 48.14 miles
February 55.79 miles YTD 103.93 miles- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km. Not the full challenge, but with knee issues early in year, I was happy to get this far.
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps =
- Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised) from walking in another frigid 5K.
- Registered for Bellin 10K on 6.10.23 ~ 2022 first time in person since 2019; 2023 added 5K event.
- register for Packers 5K ~ date TBD
- register for Bellin Women's 5K ~ date TBD (1,000+ for all races in 2022)
- watch for other events to possibly add
- Excellent goal previous years, to be continued
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in mid to late 80s and live 90 miles away
- Monthly contact with former colleagues/others in town, now that I'm retired
1.12.23 lunch w/ CH
2.11.23 ART Nite w/ PZ (supper, gallery, bar w/ live music)

JFT Wednesday
- Meetings 😀
- Laundry 😀
- Work stuff
- Shower
- Drive
- Basketball game
- Drive home
Food was rubbish yesterday as I snacked while driving rather than eating meals. It was good to go "home" and watch the old high school team win their basketball game and advance to the state tournament. I say "home" as I moved a lot as a kid. Seems like every time my mom met a new guy, we'd relocate and move in with him. It wasn't really that bad, but as a kid that is what it seemed like. We lived in the small southern WV town for about 6 years, 4th - 10th grade. That was the longest we lived in a single town (3-4 locations in the town, but the same town). We had no family there, but the families around us treated me like another grandkid. Most of the adults I knew have long since passed, but I do have a few childhood friends remaining there. I met one last night for the game. Her son plays. I just needed to get away from my life for a night, and I feel a strange sense of peace when I visit the old town.
Today is work, go to mom's and then trivia with the hubby. My attempts to get back on plan are not going well, but there has just been so much going on that I barely care. My clothes are getting tight again, and I don't like it but I'm not dedicated to fixing it right now.
JFT Thursday
- Work by 8:00
- Meetings
- Check in with MFP
- Leave around 3:00 or 4:00
- Sort mom's bills
- go home and freshen up
- trivia

Stay under 1800 calories✅
Log all food✅
During 8-12 glasses of water (I think that played a big role in afterwork snack last night)✅
Work on committee work💩
No food after 8💩
Get to Teigan’s track meet✅
No more than 1 Diet Coke✅
Limit social media when we get home tonight✅
No beer✅
Good day yesterday. Did snack after 8. Still stayed within goal calories. Teigan kicked it last night at her meet. They won both the 8x4 and 4x4 and she was second in the 400!
Last night I saw it click for her. Leg speed and stride … she’s looking like a sprinter now! I’m not a runner, nor an expert by any means. But it sure is awesome seeing hard work start to pay off
I’ve been stressed about today. Today’s number three with no exercise, I’m not sure if it’s realistic to think I will work out after work today. But I am going to put it in my goals
Goals for today:
Stay under 1800 cal.
Do not eat after eight
Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water.
Log all food.
Complete recertification packet
No beer
30 minutes on treadmill, or if legs tired, easy piece on trainer for 45 minutes or more.
Limit social media after work5 -

Log everything yes, although guessed lunch
Stay in the green no, over by a few calories
Back exercises no
Only one snack 2
I'm meeting family for lunch today so will have to guess calories. It's only a little cafe so should be able to choose wisely.
I had a lovely time catching up with family yesterday. It was too cold and snowy to get out for a walk.
I wasn't going to post goals today because I didn't feel like behaving with food. I'm doing okay though, so will post my usual goals.

So I had a day off yesterday, it was just a super busy day.
Kids to school, watch their assembly, get home and tried to do a quick tidy up of the lounge but had to stop to start getting ready for a funeral. So I ironed mine and ash's stuff whilst he got a shower. Just about finished doing my hair and make up and the taxi was here! Went to the funeral and wake, where we had a few drinks, bit of a buffet and celebrated her life! It was all really lovely and me and ash left around 4pm feeling a little tipsy!
My friend had picked up the kids from school and treated them to mcdonalds!
So I went McDonalds to pick them up but she ended up walking them back home with me. We chatted outside my house for 10-15 mins then my brother and Amy showed up to start fitting part of my kitchen.
So it was really nice to see them too. It took about another 2 hoursish for half the kitchen to get fitted because we kept stopping and chatting lol
They left, we had pizza and then just died in bed from it all!
This morning I've woken up groggy, wouldn't say I've got a full on hangover just absolutely worn out. But no headache or sickness or anything.
So I'm just gonna fix the grogginess and try to achieve something today
I want to get my lounge and kitchen tidied tbh so I reckon I'll just concentrate on that today
So no stepper, no logging,

Yesterday went well. Snack monster came to visit after I worked out bur was able to keep him at bay with low calorie popcorn.
Think I need to increase my protein. Going shopping today with Sara and Teigan so I suspect I’ll have plenty of time to research it in my phone. I’m good for about 2 or 3 stores but dang it seems malls have very little to offer men. Half the time you just see us scattered around looking at our phones with a bunch of our wife’s and daughters purchases around us. Honestly I’d rather be at work. Sorry just hate shopping… well hate shopping with my wife and daughter 😂 still not sure why we can’t just do it all on Amazon…
Ok done with that now… moving on.
Goals for today
Trainer ride
8-12 glasses of water
No beer
Stay under 2000 calories
No food after 8
Pretend I enjoy myself shopping today and stay on good behavior
Laundry when we get home
