    It’s 4.15 am here!
    I’m so hungry lol! I’m making soup!

    I hope this isn’t where my middle of the night pregnancy snacks start!
    Feel like I don’t get enough sleep as it is. But if I don’t eat I won’t sleep. Got rumblies in my tum!

    I was thinking it must be awfully early there!!! It's 10:18 p.m. here! I'm just getting ready to go to bed! :blush:

    I’ve been awake since about 2.45.

    Then I remembered from my last pregnancy (after like 2 hours) it’s for food haha and I won’t sleep at all til I get some!
    I hate lying there wanting to sleep but can’t
    I’m actually starting to feel tired again!

    Is it me or are weekends always quiet on here?

    Clearly you all have fascinating lives haha .. unlike me..

    I am silent this weekend because I am fighting headaches... and I will be then next two because I will spend them closer to you, staying with my bf. And I will use every single minute of those. But usually I use this post to unwind in-between tasks. Or to avoid said tasks. Whatever. :-P
    I guess for many people weekend is time for all the housework/gardening/family dinners. And because many of our friends here are in a very different timezone to us, it feels even more quiet during weekends where they (hopefully) can sleep longer and spend the evening doing nice stuff with their family.

    3. 5000 steps. :neutral: 4992 close enough right?

    3. Straighten house to start week off right.
    4. 3000 steps. It's raining so we're stuck inside today.

    @junodog. Lovely picture--you don't look as if you need to be dieting--lol.
    Friend loved the macarons I bought for her birthday at a French bakery that was a little out of the way, but worth the trip.
    Organ lesson went well--prepping for a concert next Sunday ---Reformation Sunday in the Lutheran world.
    Back in the 50's, just barely.
    Goals are brief:
    Stay in the green
    Exercise for at least 15 minutes
    Get some planting done
    Write at least one or two notes that have been sitting on the desk for two weeks.
    Have fun on this beautiful day here in western PA.
    I agree with many of you that this logging in of goals, does keep you accountable, and that's a very good thing.

    Weekends are usually the times I get all my homework done, grocery shop and clean the house. Now I usually just relax and enjoy time with my family and my husband. Sometimes we do fun things, or times we are productive it just depends what is going on.

    10/22/17 Sunday JFT:

    Yesterday ended up being an ALL day event. We left the house at 9:30 am and we didn't return home until around 8 pm. I ate a fresh sandwich and fell right to sleep. Therefore, today is going to be pretty relaxing.

    Breakfast w/ family
    Enjoy a mid-morning movie
    Laundry
    Plan weekly meals
    Organize some more boxes for storage
    Maybe clean out my office
    (Since I found out about the pregnancy and dropped some classes, my desk has become a storage place for paperwork :D I still need to use my office so I need to clean it up. Now that my morning sickness is going away, maybe I can start studying for my MCAT and prepare for the remaining classes next fall.)

    Good morning my fellow JFT'ers! It's a rainy, windy, chilly day here so I'm glad it's football Sunday! I don't have to feel guilty if I stay inside today. Packer game and doing some baking this afternoon. I have to do something with all the apples my husband and I picked in Door County a few weeks ago. And I need to get ready for the week, so that means meal planning, grocery list, laundry, plus I need to find something to wear for an interview tomorrow. 2-day weekends are never enough! Should always be 3 days off in my opinion! :mrgreen:
    Just for Saturday
    1. Make healthy food choices :)
    2. Drink 85 oz of water ;)Not 85 but more than normal, so that was good!
    3. Stay away from grandson's birthday cake! (plan to eat before I go) :) Just a tiny taste so he didn't worry about "grandma not getting any cake".
    4. Get outside on this beautiful fall day. 70 degrees and sunny! :smile:
    5. Body groove video: see if I can get further than yesterday; or else a walk outside. My knees will only let me do one or the other! :/Not today. We weren't home most of the day so I did get a lot of walking in.
    6. Practice patience. I tend to be very irritable lately. It's not fair to my family. :)Had a great day!
    7. Listen to podcasts - Optimal Health Daily; Optimal Living Daily :#Moving this one to today while I bake.
    8. Make a list of healthy meals for next week and make grocery list for tomorrow :)Started this but need to finish it up today.
    9. One random act of kindness :)Lots of small things that I normally do anyway but paid more attention to yesterday. We need a kinder world...

    Just for Sunday
    1. Healthy food selections
    2. Measure & Journal food
    3. Drink more water than yesterday...shoot for 85 oz
    4. Bake apple crisp, apple pie and pumpkin bread for freezer
    5. Cheer on my Green Bay Packers!
    6. Listen to podcasts
    7. Meal plan and grocery list
    8. Be in the present moment. Be grateful and kind.
    9. Prepare for tomorrow
    10. In bed sleeping by 10 pm

    Starting all over again. I went to check on things at our cottage and found a major bug infestation that totally flipped me out. I stopped paying attention to what I ate- this took all of my energy and i am still dealing with this. I have taken some days off work to hopefully get this taken care of. My goal for tomorrow is to get back on track

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories / sometimes too much. My weaknesses: my sweet tooth, especially chocolate, and portion control. To be honest, I love food!

    Height 5'4"

    GW #2: 145
    UG Range: 140 - 145 [anything less is probably unsustainable]

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.

    7/15 = 176.5

    7/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    8/5 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    8/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    8/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    8/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    9/2 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    9/9 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
    9/16 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!

    9/30 = 167.0 met Sept goal to stay under 170

    10/14 = 166.5 dined out 2 days with adult beverages plus wine & cheesecake at spa
    10/21 = 166.5 dined out 2 days plus food day in office / no gain is good

    JFT, Sunday
    1. Get to the gym :/
    2. log ALL food :/
    3. drink water - 2 glasses with each meal :/
    4. eat planned meals - no skipping meals just because it is the weekend. Thats when I get into trouble :/
    5. get back on here tomorrow - and be accountable :)

    My only happy face today was getting on here and being accountable! I had a terrible day - food wise. It was a rainy, dreary cold day today. First mistake -- I didn't go to the gym. Second mistake --- I didn't plan any real meals. So the day was spent "grazing", and I "grazed" on things that would only feed the cravings.

    But tomorrow is a new day......

    JFT, MONDAY
    1. log all food
    2. eat only planned foods. Lots of veggies, and protein, and just 1 piece of fruit
    3. drink 2 glasses of water with each meal, and 2 more glasses after dinner. aim for 80 oz of water (10 cups)
    4. go to the gym in the morning - start the day out positive
    5. try and get minimum of 8 servings of veggies in
    6. drink v8 juice when I am hungry, or eat some protein - a hard boiled egg or cheese stick. NO more potato chips - in fact - send them home with my daughter tonite.
    7. Brush and floss my teeth after dinner -- this keeps me from snacking! @tretan - thanks for that reminder with your retainer! I had forgetten that this really helped me to break the habit of nitetime snacking.
    8. get back on here - be accountable


    @PrincesseAly23 -- SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!! Thank you for sharing that. You've got this girl! And .... I love your profile picture!


    @asclepsia -- do you plan organ music??? That is my all time favorite type of music to listen to -- so relaxing and beautiful!

    @Joan6630: Yes I do play the organ, and have been playing for many years. I was fortunate enough to attend a high school that offered organ lessons. In college, I played occasionally for dinners, gatherings, etc. Much later when my sons were ready for college, I took a part-time organ job with a nondenominational church, and I've been playing every since. It is very relaxing for me to play--I lose all track of time when I'm alone at the church playing -it's also a very spiritual time. I'm so happy to hear that you appreciate organ music.
    Give yourself a break about your terrrible "food" day--it was only one day, and tomorrow you'll be back on track!
    @PrincesseAly23: What a wonderful testimony--you have every right to be proud of yourself, and I'm sure that all of us are very happy for you. Lovely picture, as well.

    @PrincesseAly23 So proud of you! Now on to all the victories to come, I am sure life has more in store for you.

    I am off to my half work week (I fly out to bf on Thursday). I kind of do not want to. But at least lunch is prepared, fruit snacks are available.

    Weekend was terrible - stayed at friends' and they had bought in every unhealthy food imaginable. Totally fell off the wagon (and yesterday was bad too as I was overtired/hungover so craved fat and sugar).

    Today is a new day! Going to get back on track now - otherwise there is no way I will meet the 5 pound challenge.

    2 weeks till my holiday - going to be healthy across those two weeks!! (Reward will be not looking chubby in my swimming costume)

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks except ryvita if HUNGRY
    - One water for every alcoholic drink
    - G & slimline T only

    - 30+ minute lunch break
    - Meditate
    - Only check emails at selected intervals
