    JFT 2/5/18

    1. Up by 6:30(this might be hard) :(I woke up when the alarm went off at 630. Reset it for my DH's time to get up and just kind of laid there in between wake and sleep for the next hour
    2. Coffee/Bible/MFP :DCoffee and MFP were done, didn't do the Bible. Mostly because I woke up late
    3. Clean out freezer(Keep Vs. Trash) :(I spent two hours cleaning and organizing

    I just want to know how it took 2 hours to clean a freezer!! How big is it?!


    @Bex953172 You crack me up!!! The stuff you pick up on just makes me laugh! :smile:

    @cynhow Welcome to JFT. I hope you find this group just as wonderful as I do.
    @HealthyTrent Way to go with C25K.
    @HGSmith0920 Congrats on the loss. The surprise ones can be just so amazing!
    @Bex953172 Now come on. Were you wondering if 2 hours was too much or too little time to clean out a freezer? It could really go either way. ;)
    @joan6630 Are you doing OK? I haven't seen you here for a couple days and you said you might be coming down with something.

    Yesterday's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat :|
    - Stick to food plan :/ Ate a couple of slices of toast. Not ideal but I did eat them instead of the junk I was intending to eat on the way home so not bad I don't think! I was feeling sorry for myself because of my cold.
    - No alcohol :)
    - 30+ minute lunch break :/ really struggling with this one. I think it's because I feel I have nowhere to go for my lunch - it's busy in the kitchen and I don't really want to go for a walk when it's cold (and I'm ill). I think I will try to stay at desk but turn email OFF.
    - Take it easy! :)

    Today's commitments:

    - Log everything I eat
    - Stick to food plan
    - 30+ minute lunch break
    - Leave work at 5.30 to go to French (read paper while waiting)
    - Take it easy!

    JFT
    *Yesterday* - achieved it!! scales have been up and down, but lost 3lbs during round 30, so come on, that's awesome.

    *Today* - Aaarrggghhh - got a McDonalds burger at the drive through. Why? I just felt too tired to cook and it is too goddam cheap. and then I had to log basically 500 calories of crap. I felt so bad. BUT it's just one day. And I had no sweets and no alcohol. I need to prep better on the weekend for these low energy work days. I actually hate McDonalds.

    February 7th - JFT
    1) no chocolate/sugar/alcohol tonight
    2) cook all meals at home & log everything - just make beans on toast if u r tired ffs
    2 goals will do for today/tomorrow --> I need a win. It's really day by day at the moment.

    Mini-goal is in sight ... u can do it!

    Round 31 is beginning, let's get one good JFT, then 2, then ,.. 10!

    Good luck everyone!

    @MLHC1 I'm so sorry hubby is sick! My husband can usually be pretty self sufficient when he's sick. Thank goodness. But heaven forbid I get sick. He's kind of useless. Lol. He's been sick for a while. We thought it was just a cold but my Godmom is a nurse and said that it sounds like a sinus infection so I'm going to get him to the doc for antibiotics. Please take care of yourself and the little boy that's growing inside you! I hope that you feel better soon. Have a great day!

    It’s like this in my house.
    I’ve been sick most this pregnancy but when anyone else has been sick it’s like deaths door!

    What’s worse is that we have lowered immune systems so it will drain us a bit more than the average person!
    Yet we have to suck it up and do what we need to!

    The other day though, i was incapable of anything and my oh did do EVERYTHING. So glad of that tbh! And obviously pregnancy hormones don’t help either lol!

    :D This is my goal for Next February (*2019*) I don't even own a swimsuit right now and have no idea where I'd get one in my size (BIG) within my budget, I'm also located in the countryside, nowhere near a beach... Hmm, I might go check out the nearby town's YMCA and see if they have a pool.
    Thanks for the inspiration eminator <3
