    Yesterday M 3/6/17, had in-house training for the entire morning. Due to budget constraints, no refreshments provided except water. Therefore, no temptation! Head cold seems to be a little improved. For the rest of today:
    1) Walk 10,000 steps, including treadmill in evening - Yes treadmill 1.5 miles and Fitbit >11,500 steps :smiley:
    2) Floss...with cold, my streak ended over weekend - Yes :smiley:
    3) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off - Yes :smile:

    Just for today T 3/7/17 Head cold definitely ending quickly = yay! Will spend entire afternoon doing Observation for work project = lots of sitting today.
    1) Walk 10,000 steps...evening, walk dog if weather cooperates, or treadmill
    2) Evening, wash dishes and either organize tax docs or work on financial analysis (this is time sensitive!)
    3) Floss
    4) Bedtime by 10:30 (getting good at keeping TV off on weekdays)

    JFT 7 March Tuesday:
    1. Log all and keep w/i cal limits
    2. 3 pints water/tea
    3. Start abs challenge ( @azulvioleta6 --I think I found what you are doing--seems simple and "stick-to-able" so I'm going to try it! Thanks for the idea!)
    4. Peacefulness!!!

    Word for March: Still working on Unshakeable !

    It is this...I have a friend who is a fitness trainer who is doing videos on Facebook every day for the challenge.

    Hey bri, are you over or under active? It's hell getting it right!
    When I get pregnant mine goes haywire and then takes a while to settle post pregnancy!

    Glad to hear you're on the right track x


    It's great to meet you Bex!

    I have low thyroid. Not fun, but I'm trying to get it figured out.

    I have been in a dark place lately and have not been doing any of the things I know I should be doing. Why do I sabotage myself? I know I feel better without sugar in my diet, and that lots of water makes me feel better. I know that journaling helps me keep a positive attitude. So, why have I spent the last week eating Girl Scout cookies and shoving crappy food in my mouth...not drinking water or journaling? UGH.

    I have to pull myself together beginning today. So I'm going to keep it simple.

    Hey, have you been peeking at my life.....?

    Don't give up! You can do it!

    So many people here with colds. I'm so sorry and hope you will all feel better quickly!

    Gee, I hope nobody sneezed on their posts! Then we would all be sick! :wink:

    It's great to see lots of friends from the past AND lots of new friends!

    Have a great day on Wednesday!

    Bri: Thank you for your support! It's been just terrible lately. I'm usually pretty upbeat person so this is really getting old.. :smile:

    @linnea4: "Do not sing out loud at work" This made me laugh out loud at work and almost spit my coffee all over my desk! I have done this when wearing earbuds and listening to music without realizing it. OMG, my voice just sucks too! hahaha!

    I was sitting through a trial on a jury for the last few days, so I have really not been on here or doing well. We are locked in a room and can't go get anything to eat, and they bring us donuts...you can fill in the blanks from there I'm sure! UGH.

    So, tomorrow is a new start. I'm leaving work right now so I will post my goals for tomorrow when I get home.

    Just wanted to pop in and say hello and that I'm thinking of you all and hoping everyone is hanging in there!

    Water 8 glasses :)
    10000 steps :)
    Stay at or under cals- not even close
    Focus!! Knock some things off to do list :s
    Stay calm under stress :)

    Not a stellar day. Did manage to get a walk in. Went for a pie date with some ladies from work. Turned into dinner as well. Too many cals earlier in the day. Not very exciting, but keeping the same goals.

    Just for today: Thursday

    Water 8 glasses
    10000 steps
    Stay at or under cals
    Focus!! Knock some things off to do list
    Stay calm under stress

    Hoping to get out for a long walk today. Have a great day!!

    Just for Thursday
    1. 64 oz water
    2. No processed junk food
    3. Remain on task at work to mark items off task list
    4. Remain calm during stressful encounters today
    5. Take an actual lunch break
    6. Notice the small things and take time to be grateful.
    7. Read from Simple Abundance and write in journal
    8. One hour unplugged before bed

    In March I will:
    1. Look at stressors and determine what I can change, how I can change it and how to accept what can't be changed.
    2. Separate the reality of situation from my "story" of situation. Look at facts, not perception

    Have a great day everyone!!!

    Ha. Yeah, I'm fortunate, the closest people are a few desks away, so I probably wouldn't bother too many people, since I would do it quietly if at all, but people do walk up on occasion, and they don't need to hear me singing about how my friends are heathens... :)

    Yeah, my most recent jury duty they let us out to get lunch, I walked to McDonald's (about a mile and a half round trip) and got a salad. No donuts (but they had vending machines...)

    It'll get better.

    Do not sing out loud at work

    HA! That is SO Funny!

    I say SING! SING LOUD! STAND ON YOUR DESK AND SING!

    Maybe you'll get another raise!

    I sing all the time. Sometimes I have to appolgize to people in the waiting room BUT no one has ever walked out of my performance!

    Ahhh.....a working washing machine....it's the little things that make life wonderful....

    One positive thing about having a broken washing machine is...you really learn to enjoy doing the laundry when you get a new one!

    Yesterday W 3/8/17 - a busy day with Inquiry portion of work project in morning, project write-ups to complete, late afternoon board meeting, happy hour with former colleagues, and Lenten service at church
    1) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - Yes, no idea how I managed this but 46 flights :smile:
    2) Limit myself to one drink at happy hour; research menu online before going and aim for healthy(ish) option - Yes, had only 1 pint of beer and looked online for menu but big FAIL for the day...meeting place was boutique-type food, no menu online due to constant changing to use locally-sourced food (which I love) but the menu I saw had one item from a local source. I wondered where the mussels and crab cakes were sourced from, definitely not Green Bay WI. Anyway, the menu was very limited, very pricey and not too healthy. So I shared one person's fish taco order and ate leftovers when I finally got home after church at 8:15. But near bedtime, tired and still hungry, I binged on dry roasted peanuts directly from the jar, which is not a good thing. I estimated the portion after, and logged, but I had total calorie fail. And I only drank 7 glasses of water. :s
    Ok, I'm done "venting my spleen" now, as one friend reminds me. ;)
    At least we had more show up this month, and had lots of fun catching up with each other. Thursday will be better.
    3) Floss...keep it going! No
    4) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off...clearly this is not a given with me - No 10:35

    Start over just for today R 3/9/17
    1) Drink 10 glasses of water
    2) Participate in lunchtime spring hike on trails around my work building
    3) Meditate in afternoon...this has been slipping again
    4) Floss
    5) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off
