    Not 'new' but restarting after about 18 months of life changes that assisted in gaining back every pound I'd lost plus 20. Looking for a simple way to ease back into healthy eating and needing to take it one day at a time. I love the idea of JFT. So JFT:
    1. Log all meals
    2. Stay at/under goals
    3. Finish masters papers.

    ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!!

    J4T SUNDAY.
    1 Stick to calorie goals :smile:
    2. Pre log and STICK TO THE PLAN! :smile:
    3. Do not go over 1200 calories unless I have some exercise caloies. :smile:

    J4T Monday
    & a whole new month!

    1. Only weigh myself on Saturday (As I am getting closer to my goal weight, I am starting to get frustrated by the scale. I lost 6.4 pounds last month, which is exactly on track, but it felt like the scale kept going up, up ,up. So I am going to step away from the scale for a while.)

    2. Try to sneak away from work to go grocery shopping

    3. Only go over 1200 calories in the evening if I have exercise calories AND if I am actually hungry! (Another new thing to focus on for February)

    4. Remember to ask God for help when start to struggle

    Well, completely blew the weekend. Had a party at the house. Not too much damage considering I had quite a bit of extra calories banked up during the week. Well, time to get back to it and lose my last 10 pounds.

    JFT, 2/1

    1. Stay within calorie limits
    2. Walk the dogs
    3. Strength-training workout: Lean Circuit 1
    4. No alcohol

    Feb 1st --- a new month. Don't look back, only look forward. A little over two months until my 39th wedding anniversary. I know if I can commit, to just 2+ months for a start, I will get to my goa of just 8 lbs for those 2 months. It is a start -- one pound at a time

    JFT, 2/1
    1. log all food
    2. walk tonite
    3. drink water

    Simple. But it is a start. If I can do just these 3 things today, I will be a success. And each day will build on that success.

    ☺I will track and eat properly instead of eating my feelings and my stress.

    Much love to you all.

    JFT

    Mum came home from hospital last night, arrived this morning and she is really ill. Mum has a really loose cough, lots of fluid on her chest. My sister could not get her out of bed and had to get help from a neighbour. Waiting for the doctor to arrive.

    Keep calm and not worry about mum.
    Log Food.
    Drink water.
    Try to be active while at mum's.
    Do my best.
