Finally, can log on and catch up! Lots to read, so happy about that.
Recap F 1/19 - slept instead of treadmill before work
1) Be gentle w/ myself...doing the best I can this moment is success...don't let latest work issue get to me = Ok day, especially after wonderful hubby let me vent, and sweet office-mate made it his mission to lift my spirits & got me to laugh. Once I can smile / laugh, I always feel so much better.
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 10,979 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 hours & 36 floors
3) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories green = Net calories & sodium green, fiber 24g, sugar red by 1 & 14c water
4) Evening: either work out or pack up rest of Christmas decorations + at least 1 thing on to-do list = Took way longer than intended (the story of my week) but got all Christmas decorations packed up...lots of trips to basement for storage boxes & put away...that was my workout.
5) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 = 3x nope (see #4)
From Friday: Sat. not sure when I can log. Have 4 hr (round trip) by car to funeral (93yo 2nd cousin) / luncheon / family visit. Will be difficult to drink enough water, and will be best-guessing food. Maybe log in evening?
= Only MFP logging I did was my weekly weigh-in and food to best of my ability. Road trip longer than expected, also went to cemetery for interment with full military honors (he was WWII veteran). Did ok during day, ate my healthy snacks on road trip, mostly reasonable at luncheon, even 10c water, but afterwards at home & leftovers for dinner, started to binge on mixed nuts & peanut M&Ms. What??? Anyway, I logged food through dinner and already WAY over on calories. Then the binging began, and I just didn't want to log anymore.
Starting over Sunday.
JFT Sunday 1/21
1) Bible class & church = done
2) Wash sheets & towels
3) Walk dog...with above normal temps, ice on neighborhood roads pretty much melted, until next winter weather tonight & tomorrow
4) Meal plan & start grocery list...plan for hubby's traditional bday dinner
5) Lots of water to flush system / net calories w/i 100 green
6) Floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:155 -

Hope you’re feeling much better now
I had this last year, it wasn’t flu just a really bad cold that lasted about a month! And it just knocked me completely off!
Don’t see it as falling off the wagon! See it as just trying to get through a horrendous time!
It’s bad enough being poorly, never mind worrying about what you’re eating on top of it!
And when you have something like that you just eat what you can!
Take it easy!6 -
I was really sleepy this afternoon so I took a nap. But happy to recover with a walk afterwards to get my steps in.

JFT
Saturday I drank the water and did the meditation, but that was all. We made nachos for lunch and our roomie bought pizza for dinner. I logged my food, but probably under estimated. I was up one pound, probably from the salt.
Sunday, I drank the water and logged the calories. I will try and meditate before bed, we'll see how it goes.
I was down to my lowest in years Saturday (179.6!) and I always seem to self sabotage when I make any progress, case in point nachos and pizza yesterday...argh. I'm on a mini vacation this week coming up, so it might just get worse before it gets better!
JFT - Monday
Drink the water
Walk the steps
Do the meditation
Log the foods
We'll take the rest day-by-day, the way we do around here, right?7 -
JFT, SUnday
1. plan this weeks meals .... at least semi-plan the dinners
2. log all food Really concentrating on more protein. A friend at the gym told me that we should eat 1 gm of protein for each pound we weigh. I had been only logging around 50 grs of protein .... so trying to get more protein in, and see if that helps so I don't give into binging.
3. concentrate on water. Remember what my red cups are for
4. go out for a bike ride, or long walk almost 62 degrees out today!!Last week it was 15 degrees! SO went on a very LONG 1 hr, 45 min walk - almost 5+ miles! Felt so nice to have the sunshine and spring-like temps!
5. work on my quilt Doing this tonite
6. work more on taxes Not as much as I wanted to, but it was just too nice to be inside today!
7. get back on here tomorrow -- be accountable
JFT, MOnday
1. work on taxes .... try and get this done to take into accountant
2. log all food
3. concentrate on water - min 8 cups
4. clean just ONE drawer. I really need to declutter also .... just can't seem to get motivated to do it!
5. concentrate on more protein
6. go to the gym
7. work on quilt
8. try to work on my bullet journal, and actually USE it!
9. get back on here tomorrow - be accountable5 -
I didn’t log or exercise yesterday and gave myself a much needed rest after nearly 3 hours exercise on Saturday. Definitely went over calorie goal but think it all balances out through deficit in the week. Back to normal for today though:
JFT Monday:
- exercise before kids wake up
- 2ltr + water
- Stay within calorie goal
- Call locksmith for new lock
- Go to work early and write the two documents
- Hot yoga after work (only if I’ve managed the above. If not, stay and DO THE DOCS!)
Have a good Monday all x5 -

@clicketykeys I use the Headspace app. Right now I am following the Anxiety pack, a 30 day program. Meditation is so worthwhile, but keep in mind that you will feel like you are doing it wrong. Keep going, progress creeps up on you!5

Take some time to read 'Soulful Simplicity' today

Alcohol-free day3 -
JFT:
fluids, log all, go exercise, less calories,
I will not react to negativity
Hang hooks for this years's events1 -
Drink water-64oz min.
Track all my meals today.
30 min walk with dog at favorite park by ocean. Very muddy but extra work on the legs!
Gym-weight machines.
Cleaning house-continue tossing, cleaning & organizing. Feels great.
Read today's Simple Abundance.
Afternoon, meditate 25 mins.
10pm bedtime-read book, no device. So hard when I relax while getting art class ideas on Pinterest.
Early am workout is transitioning better now. I see the benefits of being up before kids.
Fitbit increased to 20,000 steps-set in app.
Focus on not sneaking food-sit and eat at a table w/o distraction.
Plan suppers for the week and include 2 slow cooker recipes.
Lunch with a friend this Thursday so I will check the restaurant's menu online-Thai food, one of my favorites.
Trying to accept boundaries my DH & I have had to make with some family. I'm torn but the stress that is added when we're involved with their lives is not manageable. It's painful to accept.
My DH has posted the Patriot's coach's quote "Do Your Job" around the house to motivate our 13 year old to apply himself in school. I can't help but relate to it in that "it's my job" to look after my health and happiness. Really, no one can do this for myself except me.
Best wishes for a great start of the week.5 -
This is a great idea! Haven't read all of the posts but I love this one day at a time thought process. So for me today, I would like to accomplish the following:
Drink a min. of 64 ounces of water
Track everything that I eat
Exercise for an hour
