    I went to my friends on Sunday, returned Tuesday. Wednesday I received a call from our daughter asking if we could pick up our grandson from camp and keep him until they return this coming Sunday. That was a long day. Yesterday was sort of quiet, but I did have my orientation for school. It’s been busy so I haven’t logged and I haven’t eaten well.

    I am going to start over today, I’ll log all my food and post goals for tomorrow.

    JFT - Sat Aug 5
    Log all food
    1.5L of water
    Move 20 minutes

    JFT Friday 4th Aug

    Log everything yes
    Stay in the green yes
    Only one snack 2, but snacked instead of evening meal
    Foot exercises yes
    Back exercises a few
    Deliver charity stuff yes
    Day out! yes, a pleasant few hours

    A nice day yesterday, but in a lot of pain after. I expected it, too much walking about.

    I weighed this morning (think it's 2 weeks since I started) and I'm down 2 pounds, pleased with that.

    I'm going away for the weekend so won't be able to log, but will be careful and not snack mindlessly.

    Hi JFT friends! I haven't caught up on all your news yet, but I wish the best for each of you. I stopped posting in April when things were just too crazy. I just kept putting off getting back to it, but this is where I need to be.

    My weight and BP are up after too many months of poor food choices, little exercise, and ignoring what I know I need to do to stay healthy. 2023 has been exhausting with my mom's health issues, my daughter's still unresolved divorce, a few other family issues, and work-related stress. Then there are all the things that need doing in the house and garden. The weather hasn't helped. It's been too easy to just crash on the couch at the end of the day, zone out to TV, and eat junk food.

    We had our big summer party last weekend. It was wonderful, but the next day it felt like every muscle in my body ached. As I was waving goodbye to the last overnight guests, I decided it was time to get back to taking care of myself. So here I am, taking it one day at a time and reminding myself that time spent taking care of my own health and well-being is time well spent.

    Recap - Friday, August 4
    Log - :)
    Under calorie limit - :)
    Hydrate - :)
    Exercise - :) Nice long walk along one of my favorite trails.

    Happy Sunday!

    Lots going on lately and I haven't been taking the time to log onto my computer to check in. I need to make it a habit to begin my day with y'all again. I did "Just for Today" for years faithfully and it helped me so dang much. But after I stopped working, I stopped spending 8-10 hours per day on a computer and it's almost like I'm rebelling like a child! :wink: I don't HAVE to spend my time on a computer anymore so I'm not going to! Well....today I asked myself "So, how's that working out for you?" Ha! Not so well...

    My liver biopsy came back showing none of the really bad stuff I was afraid of (cancer mainly), so that was really good news. But I need to make some lifestyle changes that I feel are going to be hard and I have to get repeat labs done at the end of the month and do another liver scan in 3 or 4 months. I think, for me, the key to actually being able to make and keep these lifestyle changes I need to focus on making one small change at a time. So, I'm going to list my daily goals and pick a small habit to work on each week and month, and then post them here for accountability.

    I hope you all are doing well! I'm hundreds of posts behind, so I will try to catch up by reading a few pages at a time. Instead of surfing the internet or Facebook, I'll come here. MyFitnessPal is a lot better for my mental health than FB anyway! ;)

    Just for Sunday, 8/6/23
    * Make 24H Plan and Assess yesterday's
    * Drink 64+ oz water
    * Close activity rings on Apple watch.
    * Show my home some love...vacuum, dust, declutter desk, laundry, clean out fridge
    * Aldi's run for fresh produce today or tomorrow.
    * NoBS Monthly plan, Weekly plan and assess, Meal Plan for this next week. Listen to today's live coaching call(s).
    * Bills/Balance Checkbook
    * Evening routine and lights out by 10:30 PM

    This week's small change is that I will eat at least four 1/2 cup servings of vegetables every day. I will keep track by filling out a Habit Tracker every evening.

    This week, I will do ONE THING every day that takes me out of my comfort zone. Pick any little thing and DO IT afraid. Answer this sentence..."Today, I got out of my comfort zone by [___________]"

    This month I will work on getting healthier by drinking 64 oz of water every day. I will do this by filling my pink 20 oz stainless steel container as soon as I place my coffee cup in the sink and I will have it by me all day. I will make sure to fill it two more times before 7 pm.

    2023 Goal: I want to get healthier in Body, Mind and Spirit so I can feel ALIVE and not just exist. #BitchGotGoals #StartSmallStartNow #BuhByeAnxiety

    Today was a rare gift - a day completely to myself. I was up early and the weather was so lovely that I decided to head down to the beach for a peaceful morning walk. Stopped at the farmer's market on the way home, picked up some fresh basil and gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, and made a quick caprese salad for lunch. It was such a nice way to start the day. I did the Sunday crossword, puttered in the garden, and even did a few chores. Dinner was simple too - leftover grilled chicken and tzatziki on a pita with more of those yummy tomatoes. I think this was just the kind of the I've been needing.

    I have an early class tomorrow, so I'm posting Monday goals now.

    @Snowflake1968 - Thanks for the welcome! Hopefully we can cheer each other on. When do you start your classes?

    @PackerFanInGB - So glad your test results were okay. Lifestyle changes can be hard, especially when you're hit with a bunch of them at the same time, but I think you have a good strategy.

    @more_freggies76 - I hope your FIL's move goes smoothly - for you as well as for him.

    JFT - Sun July 23

    I have had an exciting couple of days.
    Our youngest and her DH came last night for supper. They told us they are expecting! They have been going through IVF, the implant was done on their anniversary on July 6th so it’s all very new. Those of you that do, please pray for a healthy baby.

    Today, I met with a college and have been accepted! I am going to take Education Assistant. It is a one year course. I meet with the finance tomorrow at 11.

    I have always wanted to do something with children and I think this will be perfect.


    Just seeing this! How exciting for you! Both the new grandchild on the way and going back to school for something you will enjoy! I'm so happy for you, Tracey! :heart: :flowerforyou:
