Jft for 5/2
To-do list
Plan healthy dinner for next night
Post to jft and write next to-do list
Go to Zumba or other cardio workout.
Zumba was cancelled so I did 20 min of cardio. I didn't post last night. I realized that I have to allow myself to loosen up a bit so I don't lose out on time with important people.
Although last night's dinner wasn't super healthy (leftovers), I didn't overdo it.
Jft 5/3
Make at least a little progress on the 2 to-do list items.
Make healthy foods choices and eating habits
Already did workout for today!5 -
Recap T 5/2
1) Net calories in the green...pre-log food as much as possible = Yes! All numbers green except sugar, which was -36. Analysis: high items were LF vanilla yogurt, small (!) banana, and oh yeah, 7 mini milk choc eggs from Easter.
2) Rain is supposed to move off, cool & windy but still...walk dog after work, I need it and dog will be so happy = Gloomy day, prepped dinner as soon as I got home...dog so sad until I changed into my walking shoes. Put turkey meatloaf and butternut squash in oven to cook while I walked dog 2.35 miles. Double win - happy dog and wonderful smells when I opened the door. Make that triple win >13,000 steps for entire day.
3) Floss = yes Day 1
4) Bedtime by 10:30 & TV off = it was close 10:28
Just for today W 5/3
1) Have pre-logged all food except dinner, and I have healthy leftovers to choose from for that...keep net calories green!
2) The sun has returned!
Walk dog > 3 miles after work.
3) Floss
4) Bedtime by 10:30 & TV off4 -
Joan6630-with regards to quitting caffeine/Diet Pepsi. Over the years I've gotten off caffeine (iced coffee w/all the sweet syrup) & have always gone back within 2 months. Now I just make sure that I don't order a large & just limit myself. I would suggest gradually weaning off the Pepsi & substitue w/caffeine free, by mixing the two. This will help you avoid a headache and gradually transition to a beverage you'd be happy with. I quit coffee cold turkey once and felt nauseous w/a headache that Tylenol couldn't get rid of for about 4 days. Dunkin Donuts servers told me customers mix decaf w/regular all the time.

Just For Today
Pretracked part of the day.
Went to gym-weights (my buddy made me accountable)-increased weights on 3 machines!
Skipped elliptical & took dog to a hilly oceanside park.-I think my speed has increased.
Aiming for 150g of protein.
Drink 8 cups of water.
Early to bed-9:30-still struggling with this (dang Pinterest)
Try to meditate/breath for 20 mins.
As long as I'm making good choices & taking action in the right direction I will not criticize myself!

Well I only managed to achieve one of my goals yesterday and that was the stay under my calorie goal. That was because I spent six and a half hours in the ER with DH. He's been having some health issues recently and it finally came to a head last night. He's doing better but I spent most of the morning on the phone with random doctors offices to schedule appointments. The main reason I was under goal was because I didnt eat much and what I did eat was a truck stop salad and low fat dressing, but I recorded all of it. So yesterday was interesting! But I'm off today so I was able to get a really nice walk in to clear my head.
So here is my JFT:
1. Stay in green goals
2. Take a walk
3. Make something yummy and healthy
4. Go to a church meeting
Have a great night everyone!2 -

I didn't have time to post this morning so I'll post here what I have done today so far:
1. Alternated between sitting and standing at my work desk all day every 30 minutes.
2. Took walks every hour for 5 minute breaks.
3. Went for walk today at noon.
4. Began using the restroom upstairs at work instead of down by us, so I have to take stairs.
5. Ate only what I packed and pre-logged for breakfast and lunch
Tonight I will:
1. Stand up and walk during all commercials. Many of them, but not all. I'm calling it a win because normally I wouldn't move as much as a toe once I hit that recliner.
2. Pack tomorrow's lunch
3. Set out clothes for tomorrow
4. Unplug one hour before bed, read and write in gratitude journal.
Just for Wednesday:
1. Stay in the green
2. Hydrate by filling up 20 oz water bottle at least 3 times
3. Today's Sit Less Boot Camp challenge
4. Check off 3 items on to-do list at work
5. Stand up or walk around house during commercials tonight. Survivor is on tonight, so I'll be glued to tv!
6. Pack tomorrow's lunch and lay out clothes
7. Prep for tomorrow morning's meeting which I have to facilitate... UGH.3 -

So here is my JFT:
1. Stay in green goals Everything but sodium and that was only by like 37mg so I'll take that as a win!
2. Take a walkmy normal route but it seemed much quicker today because I was listening to an interesting book on my phone
3. Make something yummy and healthyOne skillet chicken and pasta with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and whole wheat spaghetti with herbs and oil! It was bodacious!
4. Go to a church meetingThe one thing I didnt do!
Have a great night everyone!
Well DH is still at work and wont be home for about another hour. But I did do most of my goals!
Had a minor breakdown this evening though. DH has missed a decent amount of work over the last 3 weeks and it has reeked Hel! with our budget. Plus I recently started a new job that pays bi-weekly(previous I worked at a job that paid weekly) and I havent had a normal paycheck yet so I dont even really know how to account for that either. I ended up staring at the numbers and trying to make them work for about two hours and eventually got a migraine. DH wasnt home, so it was just me and the cat and I was stressed out and lonely. My parents live right up the road from us and I can see their driveway from my front window and for a while neither of them were home either! So I was really down and just feeling all sorts of yucky.
About a half an hour later, I looked out my front window again and saw that my Daddy was home, so I went and talked(complained really) to him and got a nice dose of prospective from him that made me feel much better. The budget isnt done yet but I think what I have for now will work okay. So we'll see. Lol
ANYWAY! Thank you for letting me get that out! Lol
Just for today (5/4):
1. Stay in my goals
2. Take a walk
3. Make something healthy and delicious for dinner
4. Spend some quality time with the DH(He's going away from the weekend and I wont see him again until Sunday night
But I think that is good for tomorrow!2 -

Thinking of you, and hope DH is OK! I know how stressful it can be starting a new job, and then to have husband with health problems. So happy your dad was there that you could go and talk to him. Anytime you are stressed and lonely - get on here. We all care!! Hang in there!4 -
@HGSmith0920 -- could I also get your recipe??? I am always looking for new recipes, and this looked so good!
@Bex953172 --thank you for sharing your pictures - your walk looked like so much fun.
I have not been on here for a few days - we are ripping out carpet, getting rid of stuff ( a friend asked if we were having an estate sale -- no --- we are not dead yet!!!). But we are getting rid of a lot of extra stuff. I am so happy hubby is finally willing to part with some of his "toys". It is such a nice feeling to declutter extra stuff that we don't use.
So this week I am eating terrible - fast, easy food - and no exercise. But I still think I am eating OK - but I do miss getting to the gym and walking. But I am too tired and sore to even think about going to the gym or going for a walk, so at least I am getting in exercise (well, at least arm exercise cutting carpet!!). The good thing is that boy, I sleep through the nite!
So hoping to get on here tomorrow and get back to posting some goals.

@joan6630
You say no exercise but ripping up carpets and getting rid of stuff is going to be burning calories!
I remember when we took up our carpet, literally rolled it from one side of the room to the other but I was so hard and we had to move all the furniture to do it, then carry the goddamn thing out lol!
So don't worry too much about the fast food... you're still burning calories!4 -
