@Bex953172 Happy Birthday!!!!
@OConnell5483 Happy Birthday Weekend!!!!
@azulvioleta6 I have been dying to know what the heck a freggie is!3 -
happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I'm making soda bread, the hubby is making fish and chips. YUMM!
The big one for today/ this weekend is to shake the bumitude that has resurged in full strength because winter randomly revisited this week. I've been cold all the time and just want to hide under blankets and do nothing. some friends and their dogs are joining us for dinner so I need to clean up the first floor, mostly to try and keep bad things out of the dogs (well also some the house is a mess and I don't want people over with it in this state).
- Bake soda bread
- Clean up downstairs
- -Avoid the mindless munchies as those have returned with the cold3 -
Yesterday R 3/16/17
1) Participate in workplace spring hike at lunchtime - Yes, it was great to be outside!
2) Eat fewer calories than yesterday (stealing this goal from @Bex953172) - Yes! For the first time in forever, I was 100 under my limit (ate back some exercise).
3) If no afternoon meeting, then meditate - hike included silence / meditation time, will count that!
4) Floss...I'm on a roll! Yes
5) Bedtime by 10:30 w/ TV off - Yes 10:19
Just for today F 3/17/17
1) Do not dwell on change in weekend plans with hubby / do not be a grump
2) Meditate in afternoon
3) Evening, walk on treadmill....yesterday I was so excited to see all ice finally melted from the streets in my neighborhood and planned to walk the dog Fri-Sat-Sun. This morning it's snowing again, the packy kind that cars will compact and turn to ice. Bummer! I'm registered for a 10K in two weeks, so have to keep on the treadmill.
4) Floss
Ditto to the birthday girls!
@Bex953172 Happy Birthday!
@OConnell5483 Happy Birthday Weekend!2 -

Get out of the house and walk
Plan meals for this new journey and pick up groceries.3 -

Thank You! With your inspiration, I decided I would pre-log for the day. By keeping that in mind, I was able to stay within my limit.
And since you ask, no I did not add that to my JFT goals today, b/c earlier I had no idea about my meals for the rest of the day. But now I have decided what I'll be eating for lunch (leftovers) and dinner (something simple while hubby's at work), and have pre-logged that. To my amazement, if I follow through, I will stay within 100 of my limit again.

Thursday:
Record - Not enough
Eat responsibly - At first, yes... but overall, no.
Get some more art supplies and start the painting that's been percolating in the head for a while - Too much stress and too tired once work was done.
Gonna take a break for a bit. Dealing with teenager drama right now - it's sapping my resources. I'll be back next week sometime.
Good luck everyone.1 -

@Bex953172 : Happiest of happy birthdays! "Its my birthday so I'll eat what I want to!"--Sounds like you enjoyed it ....(Maybe shoveling in all the cake etc counts as burning some calories, lol???!!!) 2

Made me laugh out loud! I hear ya, girl. I'm in the same boat today! Happy Birthday!
@linnea4 Good luck! See you next week.
@YAMIFAT81 I sent you a request. Welcome! You have some good goals there. Good luck!
1 -
Just for Thursday
1. Hydrate
2. Eat fewer cals than yesterday (stealing from @bex953172) Yup!
3. Finish this week's to-do list at work so I can take tomorrow off!
Well, I didn't finish my list, so I ended up putting in a long day today, but the good side is that I got to work remotely from home so it was a sweatpants kind of day on the laptop and I got a TON of work done! Now I can enjoy the weekend.
4. Take an actual lunch break I did! I went to Walmart and bought some office supplies and a few things for home. Felt good to get outside in the middle of the day. I work in a basement, so sunlight is rare.
5. Notice the small things and be grateful. Be more aware today. Took time to really notice the small stuff yesterday. Was pretty laid back all day. Love those kinds of days!
6. At least one random act of kindness.
7. "Simple Abundance..." journal and assignments. Love this book. Really drives home the message of simplifying and being grateful for the small stuff...
8. At least 100 more FitBit steps than yesterday. Yup, yup. Although, if I'm being honest...it wasn't hard to get more steps in since I was practically a slug all day on Wednesday.
Just for Friday
1. Hydrate with my new infusion water bottle. Try different fruits, veggies or flavors.
2. Stay under calorie goal.
3. Get as much work as I can get done today, and then put it away for the rest of the weekend. Do not let work get inside my head all weekend.
4. Be "present" with my family and not distracted with electronics all night
5. "Simple Abundance..." book, journal and assignments.
6. Early to bed so I can get up early and enjoy the day! Hoping my husband will take me up north bumming tomorrow for my birthday.
Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! May the luck of the Irish be with us all!1 -
@OConnell5483
Is it your birthday too this weekend?
Haha I'm taking my calorie intake for today to my grave!
Also I wanted to ask, what is your journal? What kind of things do you write in it and why? Just curious as I don't know whether it's something I might want to do.1 -
