mixed success, I logged some and brushed some, but not as much I had planned. And some of the logging including my usual random food eating, rather than just meals. so that counts for something in my book.
so JFT 3/13/17: - Log all food (breakfast and lunch already in the book)
-Floss before bed
-vacuum upstairs
- vacuum stairs (more ambitious and less likely, cause it's a pain)3 -
I'm with @shenna333 . I'm not going into details of why I didn't meet any of my goals yesterday either. It's gotten out of control. So, I'd rather focus on details of what I am going to do to meet them today.
Just for Monday
1. I will start over with the low carb plan and detox my body from all the sugar I've been consuming
2. WATER, WATER, WATER
3. Remain calm during our big meeting this afternoon where I'm sure there will be-finger pointing. (I really do not like conflict so it brings out anxiety in me.)
4. Activity today, at least 30 minutes.
5. Stay on task at work. Work smarter, not longer.
6. work on the "Simple Abundance..." plan, journal.
7. Leave work at work. No complaining to husband when I get home tonight
8. Prep veggies for the week tonight.
This month I will:
9. Look at stressors and determine what can be changed, how to change it, and accept things out of my control.
10. Separate the "reality" from my "story" of situation. Look at facts, not perception.
Happy Monday everyone!

Saturday:
Keep up the positivity. - Some points were difficult, but I think I managed.
Clean some (company coming) - Done, and enjoyed the company.
Don't sweat the small stuff - It's all small stuff.
Try to record - Technically a success, I tried. I did not record it all. And then didn't check in on Sunday really at all.
JFT Monday:
Do not hiss or claw at people who disturb me
Do not break husband's alarm clock
Do not commit mariticide
Record what I eat
Turn the frown updside down5 -
So apparently, it's not just me who's in a funk. Some of it is related to the crummy March weather, I think, but not all of it. It really showed up in how I ate Sunday. Anyway, today is a chance to try again.
Yesterday 3/12/17
1) Drink 10 glasses of water (why is this harder for me at home on weekends?) - No 6
2) Walk dog (maybe go longer route?) - Yes, with 26F and light breeze, we stuck to the 3 mile route
3) Spend time with hubby instead of doing "my own thing" - Yes, but suffice it to say, not much fun (his idea of "doing something" was going to Walgreens)
4) Floss and apply cream before bed - Yes
5) Bedtime by 10:30 (will seem early with time change) - Yes 10:16 did not feel early b/c I didn't get enough sleep the night before.
Just for today M 3/13/17
1) Drink 10 glasses of water
2) Eat healthier and stay within 100 of goal
3) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs
4) After hair appt., remember to make banana bread for breakfast potluck the next morning
5) Floss
6) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off

- Get 12,600 steps in ** managed it
- Pack lunch ** yup
- Make cauliflower pizza with SO (Hes not as excited) ** He didn't have any and hated the morsel he tried
- Walk outside if weather is good with SO ** yes he is helping me so much
- Check BP ** all good
- Charge Fitbit ** need it
So the weekend was busy and it was my grandson's 1st birthday.... Managed my eating, enjoyed some cake a few treats and small amount of party food... was tough getting steps in and just hit the bare minimum at 11pm on the dreaded treadmill ... But the surprising part was that I was down in weight!! Yay me. I am celebrating this small victory. So, continuing forward.....
JFT
- Steps steps steps
- Make ahead dinner and put into slow cooker
- change up breakfast
- Evening walk with SO?
- Keep up the logging of meals
Its time change Monday here.... This could get interesting. May all my co workers have ample sleep!!

Definitely not just you. I blame my husband and his new clock. I woke up to him repeatedly pressing buttons (with that wonderful clicking sound they make) trying to turn it off since he woke up before it went off. (presumably to keep it from going off and waking me up.)
Put this on my whiteboard at work:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the part of Me will be played by Oscar the Grouch's cousin, Lucinda the Grouch. You have been warned.
We'll see if it keeps unnecessary people away. (I work in IT, probably not)

I also missed all my goals for saturday, and didn't even get on here sunday. Way too many calories, and no exercise. I'm not ready to resume exercise yet with this awful cold/flu, but the problem is my appetite is coming back, and I way overdid it yesterday. I think the time change has me missed up as well, as I was awake last nite until 3 am!! SO I have to be careful today --- when I am tired, I want to eat!
But ... like you all said. .... today is a new day.
SO jft, Monday, March 13
1. log all food
2. keep sugar and carbs low
3. stay within 1200 calories since not exercising yet
4. drink water
5. NO ICECREAM!! Just because it is in the refrigerator - leave it alone, or throw it out!!
6. help hubby with business. We are SO far behind on stuff
7. try and organize at least 1 kitchen cabinet
8. do some sewing instead of eating

Just for today: Monday
Keep a good Attitude- needs some work
Don't let stress get me worked up- eh mostly handled it
Celebrate the good-
Be productive- not too shabby. I must say my time management skills are sucking right now. I'm a procrastinator.
Long walk home. Felt pretty good. Between work and the walk, almost managed 30000 steps, near 12 miles. If the body would hold out and I had the time, my blubber butt would just melt away lol. Cooked dinner which I never do anymore. All in all, good day.
Just for today: Tuesday
Stretch
8 glasses water
10000 steps
Could be a stressful day. Breathe. Handle it with my new found charm and grace
Focus on tasks that MUST be completed

2. 3 pints water/tea
3. abs challenge
4. pack up son's clothing pile

@beginforthelasttime16 : Welcome to this thread! I think you'll find this to be a very encouraging and inspiring group of people. Feel free to add your other life goals, pertaining to home projects, loved ones, work relationships, etc. to your daily list here. It can often help add a sense of balance to recognize that, yes, our goal is health, but other areas are important too.
still working on same word for month, but sensing progress:
Word for March: Unshakeable5 -
Monday:
Do not hiss or claw at people who disturb me - I think I exhibited amazing self-control (that, and people didn't disturb me)
Do not break husband's alarm lock - Again with the self-control
Do not commit mariticide - I am totally on a roll
Record what I eat - Booyah - again with the self-control, I actually came within 100 calories of the goal
Turn the frown updside down - amazing what having the work day fly by, and leaving early will accomplish. Went home, had a decent dinner, cleaned up after myself, and played video games.
Still really tired (stupid DST) and therefore slightly grumpy, but not like yesterday, but JFT Tuesday:
Record
Eat responsibly
Learn something new at work5 -
Yesterday M 3/13/17
1) Drink 10 glasses of water - Yes 10
2) Eat healthier and stay within 100 of goal - Yes! It helped that I was totally in control of my meals, and I pre-logged.
3) Walk at least 25 flights of stairs - Yes 30
4) After hair appt., remember to make banana bread for breakfast potluck the next morning - Yes, but not finished with everything until 10 p.m. much later than I'd hoped.
5) Floss - Yes 2 days running!
6) Bedtime by 10:30 with TV off - No, in bed by 10:26 but electronics not off until 10:58. Spring time change really screws me up!
Just for today T 3/14/17
1) It's breakfast potluck / staff meeting in my dept. today and lots of unhealthy choices are coming in. I skipped breakfast at home (which I ALWAYS have) to compensate. I physically need my breakfast and already had to have a yogurt while I wait for the potluck to begin at 9:15 (why we start "breakfast" so late, I have no idea, after two years working here). So my goal is to take very small portions, not necessarily sample everything, and log it all, to the best of my ability.
2) Meditate in afternoon
3) Evening, walk at least 1.75 miles on treadmill
4) Floss
5) Bedtime by 10:30 and NO electronics (read book would be ok)4 -
Thanks @kwfitgal
Today-
NOT TO EAT THE PIE THAT IS EVERYWHERE!

not get a snack at the movie theatre and to just drink water
be in bed by 11:15, this time change is killing me
and for my first non-health challenge: not get road rage, flurries= all the other drivers panic5
