Thank you Joan for inviting me to this thread!
It's been months since I've been tracking, exercising & eating healthy & boy, it shows on the scale and in my clothes. I recently spent some time with some close friends who hadn't seen me in a long time & i could sense their awareness of my weight gain. Also plantar fasciitis in both feet now. 50 being a few years away, I'd like to be in excellent health. All that being said, it's time to take action.
CW-209
GW-150
Ht-5'7"
Track meals & snacks (partially pretracked)
Aim for 90 grams of protein (spread throughout the day)
Walked dog
Elliptical 18 mins (5 days ago I could only do 8, so I've gradually increased every day) goal is 30 mins.
Listen to Half Size Me webinar (recently joined community & webinars/free podcasts are no nonsense)
Weight machines & abs
Aim for 8 cups of water
30 min nap in afternoon
Bed by 9:30
Action = Motivation

Happy Hump Day!
Just for Wednesday:
1. Stay in the green
2. Stay in a place of peace and not anxiety. Keep things in perspective. Deep breaths.
3. Get up every hour and walk away from desk, grab another cup of water
4. Complete Phase II tasks that are due. Complete patient build for MST project. Attend meetings via Skype with a smile on my face and a smile in my voice.
5. Be a positive influence in my department. Everyone is stressed.
6. One random act of kindness
7. Unplug one hour before bed, read and journal.
I hope everyone has a very happy day!

@Saragirl2 Hi! Welcome! The Half Size Me webinar you mention...is that a Podcast? I recently started listening to a few a day at work or when I walk, and most of them are inspirational and I really am hooked on them now. Wondering if this is another one I should try?1

Life has really been getting in the way of my morning goal-setting lately. I've been doing pretty well at setting and complying with them in my head though.
Today I am working from my parents' house (an hour and a half away from where I live) because my dad had something urgent to do in another city and my mom can't be left alone. She has some kind of serious heart issue going on and is in the process of getting a diagnosis...but she is getting worse, so we don't want to leave her alone for a whole day. This aging parents thing is not for the faint of heart. I am really missing having siblings around to help.
Wednesday:
1. Track all food...not so easy when not at home, but there are scales and cups here, so it can be done
2. Under 100G carbs
3. Get to the gym, even if home late...try to shoehorn in 60 minutes of exercise...weights if too late to swim
4. 8 cups of water3 -
@azulvioleta6 Best wishes for your mom! That's really hard when you are the only one nearby to help. I'm sure they are very thankful to have you, though!2

Boy, did I miscalculate yesterday. Breakfast and lunch were way too big. Had tons of running around to do and had less than 4000 steps in by dinnertime. So, my husband kindly prepped dinner while I took a brisk walk. I managed to get in 5000 steps by the time dinner was ready. Glad I pushed myself. I am trying to hit my step goal every day this week, then I will bump it up by another 1000. Bit by bit, I am determined to get in shape!4 -

I think we just need more of that Vitamin D from the sun! Sadly, it is another gray day, but I am feeling a little better about my lifestyle change.
I went to the doctor this morning and my blood sugar was actually normal! Happy days! I am hoping that means it won't take too long before I can back off on the medication.
Totally agree with the weather also! I take Vitamin D 5000 IU every day from late October through April where I live. I do think it helps.
YIPPEE on the blood sugar being normal! THAT is a major victory! Proud of you! You go girl!
I should try to add in more Vitamin D. It should have occurred to me already... Thanks! You're so sweet!1
