Recap W 1/10
1) When alarm went off 5:30 a.m., hit snooze 2-3x & seriously considered skipping treadmill, but thought of #3 below and I got up! NSV right there.

Walked 3 miles before work / 50:18

2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 13,015 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom! 3 days in a row!) & 34 floors

3) More leftovers for lunch / happy hour with former colleagues after work...preview menu online for order, stick with selection. Better yet, skip eating at pub & eat when get home, but that may be hard to do if I'm hungry. Enjoy 1 adult beverage while catching up with friends. = Previewed pub menu and, surprise, surprise, choices that appealed were salads! Think I'm missing my fresh foods from farmers market. When I got to pub, and friends had perch plate with french fries (which I love), I didn't even change my mind & ordered yummy cranberry walnut salad on spinach and romaine.

Think I'm tired of all the rich, high cal foods eaten since Christmas, and my body wants healthier foods.

Also enjoyed 1 pint beer (lite).

Not sure of accuracy of log / net calories red 22.

4) 1 thing on to-do list when get home = More surprised, checked a bunch of items off, even did some I forgot to list!

5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = 3x done!

JFT R 1/11 - Rest day. Was scheduled for workplace snowshoe hike at lunchtime, but overnight January thaw & temps in mid 40s, lots of snow melted & very sloppy out. Event changed to walk. If raining (likely), then walk canceled. Thaw will be brief, temps plunge to 30 by 5 p.m. then into deep freeze for coming week. Just in time for 5K event I'm walking in Fri 7 p.m. Oh, the joys of living in Wisconsin!
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
2) Net calories w/i 100 green & > 12c water
3) Evening: choir, start to pack up rest of Christmas decorations (lots of trips to basement), maybe get WiiFit out
4) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15

@JezebelBoo Good luck with your test.

@chollawan48 Welcome. This is a great little community and grown so much since the new year. Thank-you @joan6630.

Anyone... almost all of us seem to have problems with work food. Then we go home and there's Christmas leftovers. Why not take those Christmas cookies to work and leave them for other people? At least they'll be out of your own house because freezing cookies just doesn't stop me.

@joan6630 That's another reason I love my studio/hobby. Escapism, distraction.

@penko47 Your steps are amazing!

@slittlemeister Mmmmmm cheese. You did great!

@specialoccasionsbysarah What do you do for your shop?

@OConnell5483 That snooze button is deadly, though when I'm super tired I've been known to not even hear the alarm. Thus the last item I put on my list almost every day.

Crossing off... I've noticed a couple people are starting to cross things off their list. How are you managing this? Also, can you go back to do it more than once or do you only do it when you edit your post or repost? I love crossing things off lists.

JFT Wednesday
Log all food and stay in green

5 fruit/veggie

Do exercise/balance video

64 oz fluid (logged)

No chocolate today

10K steps

Stay late at work and box up personal clutter - yes I stayed late, but I help my boss with a big report.

If a body shows up train them to do leave accrual. (This is out of my hands at this point.)

Update insurance policy with lien holder on new car

Turn in Birth & marriage certificates for retirement

Call Mom & check in - oopsie - but I did talk to her Tuesday without a reminder

Totally pre-logged food and brought lunch and dinner to work. Surprise! Today is ambush 'retirement party' day. I will be gracious today and eat the food that has been brought in to celebrate my going away. It is actually very thoughtful as there is usually more sweets, but today is a savory spread.

When you are editing in your post on the website (not on the android app) up by the B for bold and I for italic there is an S with a line through it for strike-thru. in the BBC code you use a s within the open and close brackets, where for bold there is a b and for italics there is an i.

The way I would do this is quote your original post, take out the quote coding so the [ quote = *your username* and the [ / quote ] at the end, this will make it an original post but without having to retype all your goals

And [ s ] is what strikesthrough the wording. And [ / s ] is what ends the strikethrough.

So if you’ve completed them all you can do it from the start and end of your post.

Or if you’ve only completed a couple of goals you would but the [ s ] at the beginning of that goal and [ / s ] at the end of that single goal.

So you could technically edit through the day but would mean a lot of reposting or you could complete your day and cross off what you have or haven’t done at the end of that day

I hope that makes sense. And also take the spaces out the coding lol

@OConnell5483 Darn, I didn't leave till 6.30! I'm struggling at the moment because I'm finding myself having to spend time helping my new direct report that I wasn't anticipating. I'm enjoying working with her though so it's rewarding! (And tomorrow we're having a belated Christmas lunch and are planning to spend all afternoon in the pub, so....)

Day 6:Yesterday I accomplished all goals...and surpassed my 5.5 cup water goal by 2 whopping cups! Yea for me!

Personal success: My spirits are still high. In fact, last night my husband commented on the joy he has seen coming from me the last week. It's not my birthday, didn't win a lottery, no vacation plans...so it just must be the fact that I feel so good about becoming healthy. (or maybe it was the 2 extra cups of water I drank!)

Something I learned: I am here on this earth for a finite number of days. When I have a deadline to meet I am focused. I stay on task. I prioritize. I am intentional. I gather people around me who will help me meet the deadline. I do not allow distractions to tear me away from getting the job done. If I slack off one day, I double up the next and get right back on task. I have an ultimate deadline. And when I reach it I want, as far as it depends on me, to do so in the best physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual condition possible. And at my age: Time's a tickin' faster and faster!

Thursday, 1/11
JFT:
I will drink 5.5 cups of water
I will do 30 minutes yoga
I will ride stationary bike for 5 miles
I will begin my SMART goal setting
I will record my food on mfp
I will halve my food at the restaurant tonight (anniversary dinner---32 years today!

I will savor and enjoy my meal and be thankful that I get to have it again tomorrow!

sarah74_vt · January 2018

@bcTRAI I have an Etsy shop online where I do personalized items mostly for weddings, but I have other things on there too (dog bandanas, banners, etc...). I love it!! Thanks for asking.

sadie_baby79 · January 2018

JFT I will record all food!

missheidi · January 2018

not feeling very well today.

Faebert · January 2018

Recap JFT 11/1:

Get up early (haha see above!) and workout:

At least 2 litres of water -

At least 15,000 steps -

18000+ today
Stay within calorie goal -

Early night

in bed now ridiculously early!

Goals for tomorrow (Friday):

Weekends (especially Friday nights) are always a bit dangerous for me as tiredness and relief combine to create a powerful *kitten* it! mentality. Sometimes I justify it as”cheat meals/days” whatever but ultimately I always regret it and end up having to restrict to make up for it and so the cycle goes. Anyone else feel the same??

So:

- Weigh in - target maintain @ 116-118
- Wake up early and work out before kids up
- Stay within calorie goals. Use up some exercise cals today on one planned treat (single choc bar maybe?)
- 15000 steps at least
- 2 litres water at least
- Clean house and laundry after work so weekend can be more relaxing
- Chase hospital referral for daughter
- Flowers for friend

Yesterday was successful!!

However today is a different story

Life has caught up with me and I just got completely overwhelmed today!! With everything going on, the last thing I needed were this goofy pregnancy hormones getting in my way. I spent the morning reworking our budget, reviewing my required school work and planning for the baby. Needless to say.......it was too much! Therefore I plan to take today as my Rest Day and relax the remainder of the day. I did accomplish some important tasks today but exercising is not going to happen today.
