    Today was slightly less good. I had a stressful and unproductive day at work and ended up leaving later than planned. Following this there were tube (subway!) issues which meant it took me ages to get home and additionally all the transport was overcrowded which made the journey stressful. As a result I really didn't feel like exercising when I got home.

    HOWEVER despite all this I refrained from snacking/ over eating (and I did think about it on the way home) which I'm going to count as a win! Let's hope I can keep that up :wink: I'll do the exercise on Sunday instead.
    Today's commitments were -

    - Log everything I eat :)
    - No snacks except Ryvita if hungry :D
    - Be in the green (without eating back exercise kcals) :)
    - Leave work by 5.30 :/
    - Do exercise DVD :'(

    Tomorrow's commitments are:

    - Log everything I eat
    - No snacks except Ryvita if hungry
    - Be in the green (without eating back exercise kcals)
    - Go to gym before starting work
    - Go for walk at lunch (to maintain sanity!)
    - Ration access to work emails in order to get some b&oody work done!!!
    - Listen to music to boost mood

    what is Ryvita?

    JFT Thursday

    So I managed to stay within my calories even though there was two meals at restaurants. :)
    That's an accomplishment!

    JFY (Thursday, 1/4/18)
    1. Drink 8 glasses of water :)
    2. Go to the gym (circuit - 30 min, treadmill - 30 min, bike - 10 min) :)
    3. Log all my food :)
    4. Stay "in the green" for the day :)
    5. Keep my sodium intake within the recommended level :/ (I wasn't too far off though...this one is hard to do!)
    6. Organize the bathroom closet :) (Looks SO much better!)
    LOOK! All happy faces! ( ETA: Oopsie - almost. Unless you are fighting blood pressure the sodium is not a real worry IMO. )

    So like I am afraid to get that waxing done - that or threading my eyebrows, Should I be concerned that they will change the shape of my brows. I don't want thin eyebrows.

    Recap R 1/4 - Back stiffened up on me after treadmill yesterday, so decided to rest it a little longer, because it is improving. At least the alarm got set for 6:30 a.m. instead of 5:30. Due to wind chills below zero (again :s ), workplace snowshoe hike at lunchtime has been canceled. Bummed. But that's probably a good thing for my back.
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work (I have a desk job) = Fitbit 8,453 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 29 floors. Not bad for non-treadmill day. :smiley:
    2) Almost forgot, it's food day in office for co-worker with Christmas birthday / be picky, eat small portions, do not eat everything and log best I can = I was very picky about what I ate for food day & had very small portions, ate healthy rest of day. Guestimated, logged best I could & 13c water (not sure, kinda lost count). :neutral:
    3) Leftovers (healthy) for lunch and supper / net calories w/i 100 green = See #2, net calories red 197 :neutral:
    4) Evening; choir canceled due to water main break / use time to declutter or catch up something 30 min. = A little...took suggestion, and had nice hot soak in tub with aromatherapy mineral bath salts, Comforting Geranium. It was heaven! Thanks @MLHC1! :smiley:
    5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = 3x done :smiley::smiley::smiley:

    JFT F 1/5 - Can't believe there are 25 posts since I logged into this thread! I'll have to catch up later, just want to get a few goal's down...
    1) No treadmill before work, my back feeling almost normal, so don't want to jinx it. Move hourly / stairs breaks at work.
    2) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories w/i 100 green
    3) Get meat out of freezer for weekend, either chop suey or chili, ask hubby his preference (I know what mine is)

    Sticking with basics for Friday. Have spa appt. this evening for massage...yay! No bedtime since no specific plans for Sat. and sleeping in. Will floss if I feel like it. :wink: Happy Friday, everyone!

    @mmartin7613 thank-you. I actually put it on my calendar each summer to book it and I try to book it for my birthday just so I know I did it. My birthday present to myself?

    @joan6630 Doing things for yourself is important. Way to go. Let us know how hubby's tests go. :)

    @missheidi Yay for health maintenance!

    @junodog1 Family right? I had a similar thing with my daughter in the summer. Oh, and eyebrows grow back, especially as we get older.

    @cschmitz110515 I adore geranium oil. It makes me smile just to smell it, or even think of smelling it.

    1/5 Friday JFT:

    ▪Breakfast
    ▪House manager to-do-list
    ▪Laundry
    ▪Elliptical
    ▪Stretch
    ▪Lunch
    ▪Read ONE research article (5 total)
    ▪Dinner by 7 pm
    ▪Bedtime by 10 pm

    I'm sure you all have "heard" me say this before, but I've noticed that several people are setting goals to drink a certain amount of water daily. Even before I was pregnant, I have always kept a 24 ounce water bottle with me everywhere I go. My kids even know I have to have this by my side, bc when they see it is empty they always offer to refill it for me, Lol (I love those little guys :heart: ) That is why I do not set a "water goal" each day bc I easily drink 96 ounces a day (of just water). I'm not bragging, I'm just offering my story to try and help out. I think it is a convenience thing, since I always have my water bottle, it is the first drink I grab. Even though I drink propel, milk, tea (occasionally) and juice, I still drink 96 ounces of water. :lol:
