Love this thread. Your goals inspire me. I am keeping my mine short and will add more and I go along and conquer each one. First on the list is cutting out the sugar. Huge for me as I swear I am addicted to candy and cookies.
I'm a sugar addict too and the holidays really messed me up. In a way, it's good that I ate my way through Nov and Dec, because that led me to MFP and developing healthier habits. Since starting last Tues, I've really cut back on sugar and I feel MUCH better. However, it's tough dealing with cravings. Sugar is the devil.5 -

What am I doing wrong? It only shows a couple of lines of my posts.0

@DRBuchholz often if you type in a smiley MFP cuts the post off. If that's what's happening and you want to insert a smiley, or what have you, use the pull down menu in the app/program and you should be fine.
Hope that helps.2 -

SUNDAY JFT RECORD
1. Stick to calorie goal
2. Do bootcamp style workout (morning class outside - so cold but felt great - afterwards...)
3. Do 10 mins yoga (minimum) (just made this one, did it just before bed, and almost didn’t!)
100% achieved for third day in a row. Yeah. But back to work and it’s so cold on the morning commute in Scotland. This is where it gets trickier to stick to the goals!
MONDAY JFT GOALS
1. Stick to calorie goal
2. Do 10 mins yoga
3. Do circuit type workout with personal trainer
4. Walk for 1hr at lunchtime (I have downloaded podcasts to listen to whilst walking in preparation - so no excuses!)

Okay so this is TOTALLY off topic but I’m at a bit of a loose end!
My eldest has chicken pox. I have calamine lotion.
She is point blank refusing to have any put on to the point where she is hysterical. She doesn’t even like me looking at her tummy or back to check them. She won’t actually let me without a major meltdown.
It’s just took me 20 minutes to do about 15 spots on her face and that was with the promise of chocolate and she was defiant throughout. I had to take it one spot at a time but I can’t do that on her whole body.
So any tips? Ideas? Help? To get her to show me and let me put it on her? I’ve tried talking to her but she can’t tell me why she doesn’t like it.2 -

Can you let her put it on and make a game of it? If it is the pink lotion and not the clear maybe see how well she can cover up the spots as the lotion dries. Count the number covered and the number uncovered - see how you can make the count change. ???4 -

Have you done the oatmeal bath thing?? at least you would get a look even if you wont let you put the calamine on afterwards and it might have soothing effects. Good Luck!

What’s the oatmeal bath thing? What do I do? X0 -
"Warm baths blended with 2 cups ground oatmeal such as Aveeno Oatmeal Bath (they sell this at the grocery store in the US) or home-ground oatmeal can help reduce itching in children with chicken pox. Adding one half to one cup of baking soda to a warm bath may also put a halt to itching."3

I actually love oatmeal baths and find them soothing even as an adult without chicken pox4
