    So I realized that I had added ingredients into the recipe calculator wrong! If I get to the gym and do some walking and some strength then I should be in the green! This actually made me really happy! I didn't want to lose my streak!

    Second the tip on working another muscle group.

    Also, when I had a PT he used to weight train me until I was jelly! Leg day was awful, wobbling out the gym. However, (and I thought it was horrendous at the time) after leg work outs he used to make me cycle on a bike, no resistance but had to keep the speed up to 70 rpm. And do this for 15 mins!
    He said trust him, and I did. It got all the blood flowing through the muscles which helped with recovery. although they still ached they weren’t half as bad!

    I'll try that! If I wake up super early again tomorrow I'm going to go before the DH wakes up because he takes my car to work so I have to take his junky one whenever I go. Lol. Plus, I want to get it done and out of the way because I have a lot to do tomorrow. Lol.

    Thank you for the tip!

    1. go to the gym - no excuses :) Went to the gym in the morning, a short walk in the afternoon, and back to the gym in the afternoon with hubby :)
    2. drink water :)
    3. think before I eat. Am I hungry, or just stressed, emotional :) Yesterday's episode made me really stop and think, and realize the triggers I have for emotional eating. Being aware of them will really help me I think.
    4. log all food :)
    5. get back on here - be accountable :)

    A much better day today. The book I am reading is so good. I don't have time tonite, but will try and post some of the key things she talks about.

    JFT, Monday
    1. log all food
    2. go to the gym
    3. meeting with accountant to take in taxes. Hoping everything is there. if we eat lunch out, make smart choices
    4. remember my red cup - drink 8+ cups of water
    5. get back on here be accountable

    Tomorrow is my 6-year follow up with the oncologist. For some reason, this year I'm scared. I'm not usually really scared about it. I've never felt like the cancer might be back before, but this time I'm kind of nervous. I've got swelling in my arm and in my armpit on the side that I had the tumor and the lymph nodes removed, so it's making me nervous. Makes it hard to do anything for very long, because my right hand is swollen and sore. Actually makes it so I can't work on quilting, writing, or really anything for very long without my hand hurting!

    Prayers for you my friend that everything will turn out OK. <3 Hugs

    You soared! So glad you quickly got back on track. You didn't even need my challenge---but I needed it, lol!!!
    Fantastic work! You really went above and beyond with your exercise! I met my commitment to you to ride five miles on my bike today but that was it---but it's five more than I had planned!

    Looking forward to hearing more insight from your book.

    Peace and joy!

    Definitely a good idea to take a nap! I laid down to try and sleep and just kind of laid there for a half an hour doing nothing. I'm glad that you aren't going to get marks against you for not doing the work at home. You have a hectic home life so I wouldn't stress too much. I bet that tomorrow will be better after that nap!

    1. Church :)It was really awesome today! I'm so glad I went!
    3. Run to the store :)Got there about 5 minutes after open and I got to Walmart a minute after it opened. Lol
    4. Gym :)I really didn't want to but I ended up going. More out of boredom than anything. Lol
    5. Update resume :)Done! Sent it to my best friend to look for me
    6. Clean the shower! :DI just can't seem to bring myself to do it!
    7. Food in the crockpot by 2 :)Actually a little earlier.
    8. Call my brother for his birthday and my cousin about the cabin! :pI ended up texting my brother and had a nice "conversation" Still need to call my cousin
    9. Make dessert :)Done! It was sooo yummy! I made chocolate peanut butter pie with an oreo cookie crust
    10. Nap!! :#I ended up just laying in bed for 45 minutes trying to sleep but alas it didn't happen
    11. Dinner :)Super yummy dinner. I made chicken taco meat in my crock and we had taco/wraps with cheese and spinach
    13. Dishes :)Done! I tend to do them as I go and dinner I do them right after we're done eating. I just feel better that way. I hate leaving dishes in the sink when I go to bed. Waking up to dirty dishes just depresses me
    14. Bed (depends on how I sleep tonight. Lol) B)Probably gonna be kind of early. I didn't sleep well again last night

    Well, today was kind of productive, I guess. I just couldn't bring myself to tackle the shower. It's just such a pain in the patootie. But I did get a decent amount done. The DH got out of work late, like I thought he would. So he got home late, but it was okay because dinner was the kind that could sit. Lol. Thank you, everyone, for the anniversary wishes. I texted my brother instead of calling him because I HATE CALLING PEOPLE!!!! Even if they are family! I would much rather text or email or even leave a message. I just hate talking to people. Problem is...tomorrow I HAVE to call a bunch of people. Doctors, cable company and things like that. Not fun for me. Anxiety-inducing actually. The DH says that I am great on the phone and I guess I am. It's just the build-up to it that freaks me out. Lol. I'm also going to try and sleep longer tomorrow morning. Dont know if it's gonna happen. So, onward!

    JFT, 1/29/18

    1. Log all food
    2. Gym(possibly in the morning)
    3. Call Xfinity, Fidelity, and Neurologist
    4. Spend some time job hunting

    @HGSmith0920 Thanks :smile: I'm hoping the nap gets me caught back up! My main focus now is growing a healthy little guy! So if my body says sleep, then I'll listen, Lol!! It sounds like you kicked butt today!! Good job, especially with it being your anniversary. I completely understand about the phone. I've been told I'm excellent on the phone as well but it doesn't mean I like it :joy: Don't worry about the calls, you'll do great tomorrow!

    @chemjenny Way to go!!!!! Getting started can be the hardest part!! It usually is an eye opener when you start back up again. No worries though, everyone goes through that phase. Stay encouraged and keep going!! Just start small and make small goals for progression. Before you know it that video exercise will be easy :wink:

    Good morning my MFP JFT friends! Happy Sunday.

    Tomorrow is my 6-year follow up with the oncologist. For some reason, this year I'm scared. I'm not usually really scared about it. I've never felt like the cancer might be back before, but this time I'm kind of nervous. I've got swelling in my arm and in my armpit on the side that I had the tumor and the lymph nodes removed, so it's making me nervous. Makes it hard to do anything for very long, because my right hand is swollen and sore. Actually makes it so I can't work on quilting, writing, or really anything for very long without my hand hurting!

    Anyway, I would appreciate any prayers or positive vibes sent my way for tomorrow's appointment. It's just been on my mind a lot.

    Just for Sunday:
    1. Eat healthy and log food
    2. Five servings of freggies
    3. Increase protein, decrease carbs
    4. WATER
    5. Go to gym to get out of house and work off some anxiety
    6. Prep for tomorrow, today
    7. Review index cards
    8. Put together my "This Week, I will..." list
    9. Bed sleeping by 10. Unplug at 9:00 and read out of book, not Kindle.
    10. NO Snooze button tomorrow!!!

    Have a great Sunday everyone!

    Don't look back...you're not going that way!

    I know I’m new here and on the other side of the pond but I will be thinking of you today. Lots of positivity coming your way from the UK x

    I’ve had a hard time getting up early recently, last week my eldest went into nursery an hour late every day she was in!
    Never mind the snooze button I turned my alarm fully off when it rang.

    Anyway today, 7.30, out of bed and with a coffee and kids are still asleep! Gives me time to wake up, make her pack lunch, get breakfast ready and set out her clothes!!

    Although I’m hoping to at least finish this coffee before she wakes!


    I finally finished the yard yesterday. Well kind of, there’s about 5 tiles I’ve not done because the hose burst on me! I was gutted!
    Today’s job was get the car clean but it’s RAINING again!!!
    I’ve got both car seats out so I can clean the backseats and it just keeps raining! Feel like I’ll never get it done lol!

    @OConnell5483 my thoughts are with you! If you’re feeling sore then don’t try finish that quilt! Please rest!

    @HGSmith0920 I also hate phoning people!
    My partner has to remind me that it’s just a phone and the other person can’t do anything to Haha. And i can end it with a click of a button!

    I don’t even know why I hate phones so much!
