    JFT Monday
    - Get me steps in, in this terrible weather 12,000+✔️
    - Eat 1,200 calories. No more than that✔️
    - Get SO valentines gift together✔️✔️
    - Buy a co worker coffee❌


    I shoved the driveway and burn off a lot of calories. Always shovel before you drive over it. Makes it a lot easier. Haha. SO arrived home today abs he won't have to shovel too much unless it drops again!! Went to work but nobody was doing a coffee run today so no buying of coffee. Another day.

    - Give SO a huge welcome home hug!!
    - Find a way to burn those steps
    - Smile all day
    - Don't eat any extra calories with SO
    - Stay the course!!!

    Keep moving forward.

    Today, I drove to the first town I will be staying and teaching this week. Got here right before the snow and rain started! Perfect timing. Didn't have to drive in the ice storm. Was very pleased. Nice hotel. Have been eating pretty healthy but ate too much today and didn't drink enough or get any activity because of the drive.

    Just for Today (Wednesday):
    1. Eat healthy and journal
    2. HYDRATE
    3. Teach provider class and give them a good impression of our software. Have a smile in my voice.

    I had been stable(ish) but starting to creep up again. I found some new motivation, with a new goal and BAM i"m up 3 lbs pushing me over 200 again. I need to start making daily goals again, that are more than to-do lists as it does seem to help.

    so, Just one today: No Munching, planned meals and snack only - no chips, no leftover dip from Sunday, no Reeses,

    Tuesday 2/7
    busy day again, so keeping it simple
    1. log all food :)
    2. drink water. 2 glasses with each meal :/
    3. drink water in the evening - have that glass next to me to sip :/
    4. get out for a walk :/

    I think I am in another slump. Why is it that old habits come by so quickly. Water has always been hard for me to do, and something I need to really concentrate on. Especially in the evenings, to keep from snacking.
    Yesterday we were so busy, so hubby wanted to take a break and go out to eat. I did OK - we went to Longhorn, and I had the Parmesan chicken with brocolli and a salad. I counted it as 1000 calories - because I know the parmesan chick probably had calories, with the cheese, etc.
    But a stressful evening with my daughter, so I ended up eating 2 packets of peanuts. I wasn't even hungry - just stress, mindless eating. I hurt so much for my daughter - she did not ask for mental illness. She is going through such severe depression, and I feel helpless. Today she is going to the doctor, so hopefully maybe some med changes will help her. Why is it when our children hurt, we hurt even more.

    SO JFT, Wednesday,
    1. get to the gym. :) Did this already, so a good start to turning this around.
    2. log ALL food
    3. concentrate on water - 2 with each meal
    4. concentrate on sipping water in the evening
    5. buy some gum to keep from eating in the evening
    6. write down what I am feeling with my daughter. She is going through a really rough time right now, and it is not her, or my fault. Count our many blessings
    7. do not eat for comfort. It will not help

    2) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - YES 30 :smile:
    3) Meditate in afternoon - YES :smile:

    5) Floss - keep it going! YES :smiley:

    Today I fasted before annual physical, and doctor relied on health assessment results, so didn't even do a blood draw! Stopped at McD's for quick breakfast before going to office, not the best, but hey I was hungry. Short day in office with late arrival. Tonight won't be better, with happy hour among former colleagues. So daily goals are adjusted accordingly.

    Just for today W 2/8/17:
    1) Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water (drank 4 before leaving the house for physical)
    2) Meditate in afternoon
    3) Limit alcohol to no more than 2 beers tonight; check out menu of pub online before going
    4) Hang up clean shirts draped on chair in home office
    5) Floss
    6) Bedtime no later than 10:30 w/ TV off

Despite eating a few reeses's while cooking dinner, I managed to control the munching mostly. I ended up eating a snack later as I was still hungry, but again it was somewhat controlled. It was a deliberate decision to eat not complete mindless munching. I didn't demolish the bag and stopped after a little bit

    so let's repeat again. NO munching especially once I'm home.

    Wednesday:
    Stay within 100 calories of goal - Yeah, right. Nope.
    Go to bed by 10pm (video games are wonderfully evil things) - Technically yes. Looked at clock, it was 10:03. Shut down game, was in bed five minutes later. Fell asleep after another 20-30 minutes, maybe longer. Woke up multiple times. Ugh. So, still tired. Go figure.
    Try not to roll my eyes so hard they fall out of my head when listening to upper mgmt at work. I need them to see. - Well, I can still see, so that's a good thing.

    Thursday:
    Stay within 100 calories of goal (one day, I will achieve this. I have a plan for tonight.)
    Go to bed by 10pm (I did it once, I can do it again)
    Be patient with my daughter. I swear. Every time she gets a head cold, she's sure she has a sinus infection. She stubs a toe and it's gotta be broken. I love her, but dang.

    Yesterday W 2/8/17 I fasted before annual physical, and stopped at McD's for quick breakfast before going to office; not the best, but I logged it. Short day in office with late arrival, and happy hour among former colleagues after work, so daily goals adjusted accordingly:
    1) Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water (drank 4 before leaving the house for physical) - YES 10 :smile:
    2) Meditate in afternoon - No, due to time-sensitive work that came up again after lunch :neutral:
    3) Limit alcohol to no more than 2 beers tonight; check out menu of pub online before going - YES, had 2 beers and switched to soda, reviewed the menu online before but ended up ordering a food special instead...on the bright side, I logged everything, so I'm counting this. :smile:
    4) Hang up clean shirts draped on chair in home office - No, got home later than planned (had such a good time), did a few easy chores around house and total exhaustion hit me, fell asleep on family room couch until hubby called from work at 9:16 p.m. :neutral:
    5) Floss - No :neutral:
    6) Bedtime no later than 10:30 w/ TV off - YES flopped into bed 9:29, really needed the sleep :smile:

    Try to make today a better day health-wise. Just for R 2/9/17:
    1) Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water
    2) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs
    3) Meditate in afternoon (time-sensitive work tasks should be over for now)
    4) Hang up clean shirts draped over home office chair; fold hubby's clean clothes
    5) Floss !!!
    6) Bedtime by 10:30 w/ TV off
