    Read through some posts & just want to let everyone know how much I appreciate this thread. My thoughts & prayers go out to those of us who are struggling & gratefulness to MFPs who are willing to take the time lift others up.

    Yesterday I picked up a pedometer & waterproof hiking shoes. Today I break them in!

    Joan, I added 300lbs down to my reading list. She has a great sense of humour!

    JFT-
    10,000 on the new pedometer
    Track all food (seem fine for breakfast & lunch) but fall off the wagon after lunch
    Drink 9 cups of water
    Gardening
    Be grateful & journal

    Enjoy the day!

    Yesterday was a good day. My biggest struggle is tracking in the afternoon so I will pretrack today.

    note to self...hiking shoes can be heavier than sneakers.
    JFT
    Walk 45 mins in sneakers
    10,500 on the pedometer
    Water (added flavor water to change it up)
    Wash comforters at laundromat & do push ups/crunches when no one is watching!
    Keep tracking
    Journal
    Focus on the positive & get inspired!

    Wednesday:

    It's a little hard to set goals for today. I have a random day off, so I am driving to the coast (3.5 hours each way) to help my parents with some things. Not entirely sure how much exercise I will be able to work in or exactly what I will eat.

    I don't have children, but I have mild parent worries. I really hope that my parents move back to civilization (they are currently in a very isolated wild/scenic area) and downsize before they get into their 80s. My mom is a transplant recipient and has some mild mobility issues. Usually my dad picks up the slack, but he is recovering from surgery...

    1. 10,000 steps :smile: 13,145
    2. Walk on the beach and/or stop for Zumba on the way home :)
    3. Be carb-conscious (I know, not very concrete/measurable, but maybe the best I can do today) :neutral:

    Thursday:
    1. 12,000 steps
    2. Lift heavy things
    3. Be strict about carbs, darnit!

    Hoping that you're able to get in some time for yourself. I know it can be a challenge looking after aging parents. Safe travels!

    I found a new app mapmyfitness I am sure it has been around for awhile but it is new to me. It is so awesome, it is GPS that tracks your workout & is really motivating me. Rainy today so that wasn't so nice. I am hoping to go bike shopping this weekend to buy a cyclocross bike. I have some money saved and really need something new. I hope I can make it happen.

    Hope you all are doing well. Keep on climbing & eventually we will reach the top! I believe in every single one of us!!!!

    Goal today
    1.) Make tomorrow better...

    Best of luck finding a great bike! I love mine.

    I said I would come back later to post when I thought of a JFT, well that was two days ago. So JFT FRIDAY!!!, I will:
    - not eat the granola bar unless I go to the gym sigh I would have been better off eating the granola bar instead the red velvet cake in the break room. So this is no revised - no granola bar.
    - walk in evening at minimum
    - brush/floss after dinner
    - eat real dinner not just munching

    I bought a Trek "comfort" bike 10 yrs ago -- Love it!! The seat is a little wider than the skinny seats that most have. I can easily ride 30 miles without my butt hurting!

    JFT 12/06
    1. Keep steps up and calories in down. :) 12,635 today. The Barn Dance helped big time.
    2. De clutter table in workroom. :) Managed to clear the work table of most of the clutter. Just a few papers to file.
    3. Prepare for camera group photo shoot in Bangor Abbey this afternoon. :) Pray that the good weather remains lol :)
    4. Enjoy Barn Dance this evening. :grin: Eat a light snack late afternoon. :) There is supper tonight. Arghhhh! Lovely sandwiches but none of my favourites. I was driving so stuck to iced water. The caller was excellent.

    So much temptation this evening. Will the dancing be enough to let me indulge? :grin: It was more than enough!

    I bet going to bed early paid off. It's so important to pay attention to our bodies.
