    No goals today. I'm home sick with that nasty bronchial cold that's been going around. GD has had it for a week and I was hoping to avoid it, but I'm down.

    I will still be mindful of what I eat and try to hydrate, but that's about it for goals today.

    Day 27 happy happy joy joy,
    I have to stop leaving the second half of my workout till after my partner goes to bed, last night as I got up from the exercise bike I bumped into the control panel (only know because I heard a beep) but I was too tired to check out what happened,
    I got on this morning and found it hard going, (and was a bit disappointed in my progress) till I noticed that the intensity level had gone up :neutral:
    I have spent at least half an hour today trying to lower it again, but can't :confused:
    So ready or not, it would seem I have just leveled up :flushed:
    Guess I should start to prepare for the boss fight at the end.

    Day 28:
    Limit KJ
    watch out for sugar, sodium and try to eat more protein
    avoid coffee, gluten and dairy
    aim for 2 hrs on exercise bike
    rescheduled: investigate fitness/dance/ pilates videos on youtube.

    I learned something else.. Don't use happy faces from other programs to post here. They cut off your post. Therefore a second post which I requested to be deleted. :D

    So a lot has happened today! The DH and I became investors. We played roller hockey(well I haphazardly skated around the rink while he played) and I fell, probably bruising my tailbone and spraining my wrist in the process. Lol. I also GOT A CALLBACK! It was the bank that I interviewed at in the beginning of February. The place I had the vision of. If I get the job(I'll find out tomorrow or the day after) it'll be at the branch where the vision took place! Lol. It was the coolest feeling. Yesterday I decided that I wouldn't put any more applications in at banks because I wanted to get out of the whole retail industry altogether. Mom and I were even talking about it this morning. I told her what I had decided and she asked that if the bank called me back, would I turn it down? And I said no.

    What was even funnier was they called me at about 11 am and I let it go to voicemail, thinking it was someone else. I had this conversation with my mom at about 1 pm. It wasn't until about 4 that I actually checked the message and realized who it was! I called back immediately and got the details about the opening.

    Oh! And I got my small but definitely needed tax return back this morning so I can go food shopping and pay rent!

    JFT, 2/28/18

    1. Up by 7/Morning routine/Yoga :)Got up on time and did everything I wanted to. The yoga felt great!
    2. Inspection station by 8 :)I forgot it was the last day of the month, so there were about 25 cars in front of me waiting to all get inspected. Thank God they had all 6 lanes open. It only took about 25 minutes
    3. DH up by 9/Text M about Thursday :)Got him up late because of Yoga. Lol. Moving coffee with M to dinner on Friday(weather permitting)
    4. Finance guy(Bring paperwork!!!!!) :):):)This went really really well! I'm getting my stock money from a previous job the beginning of April and I wanted to sit down with my parent's guy and ask a bunch of questions and things. He was great! He answered all my questions and gave us a book to read. Lol. I'm excited to actually have a retirement account set up!
    5. Actually, eat lunch!!! :)Leftover meat over a salad. Was yummy.
    6. Bike ride with the DH :DThis turned into roller hockey/skating. The prep and the actual skating took like 6 hours. Lol
    7. Library(or writing on the back deck) for AT LEAST 45 minutes :DSee above
    8. Read/Nap(maybe) :DSee above...again
    9. Prep Dinner(Seasoned, seared Rib Eye Steaks/Mashed potatoes/Green beans) :)Everything but the green beans. It was delicious. Although I cooked the steaks a little too long. Gonna try for less next time.
    10. Dinner/Dishes :|Dinner is cleaned up and the table is put away, but against my better judgment I'm leaving the sink full of dishes tonight to see if my wrist hurts less tomorrow
    11. DH time :)We were doing out own thing tonight, but we were on the couch together
    12. Night routine :)Gonna do this after I'm done
    13. Light off by 11 :)Most likely. It's only 920 and I'm exhausted!


    So other than the pain I am in, today has been a FANTASTIC day! I didn't get everything done that I wanted to but that was okay. The DH got some awesome exercise, had a blast and DIDNT GET HURT! My DH gets hurt doing any kind of sporting activity...except roller hockey. He's been playing for 30 years and other then the occasional broken nose(mainly from punches to the face) he has never been hurt playing. It's been about 5 years since he's been in his skates though. Actually, everything that he has that was hockey related was in an open storage room in an abandoned chicken coop on my parent's property. Lol. We spent about 3 hours cleaning it all out. We discovered there are a couple of things we need to replace and a few things for me to buy. But mostly, it turned out okay. One thing I am definitely investing in is a butt pad(yes that is really what they are called lol). It's for people whole do sports like that who are likely to fall on their *kitten*...like me!!! Lol. I really want to be able to spend time with DH and his friends doing this. Plus it's a GREAT workout. So I need to get better on my skates. And now that I'm pretty sure I have a job, I'll actually be able to buy things again! And stick to the budget! We'll have an emergency fund in April so we can start actually doing things with our money! Lol

    Anyway, sorry for the terribly terrible ramble! I'm just full of enthusiasm and joy because today was so awesome!

    So onto my list!

    JFT, 3/1/18

    1. Log all food!
    2. Focus on water(2-32oz)
    3. Up at 7/usual routine/measurements/yoga(maybe)
    4. Meet R at 930 for our weekly breakfast
    5. Have AWESOME time with R
    6. Spend time with DH before he leaves for work/Make lunch
    7. Meal plan/Shopping list(because I can afford food this week! Lol)
    8. Do a prelim of March budget
    9. Read/Nap(maybe)
    10. LIBRARY!!!!
    11. Dinner(Leftovers)/Dishes(2x)

    So the month of march for me was not the greatest. I ended up not losing even 1 pound, but the good news is that I did not gain either. So my goals for March will be very similar to Februarys, except I am going to work hard to meet my goals

    March Goals
    1. GET UNDER the 190s!!! Even if it is only 189 ---- but get out of the 190s. Todays weight was 193.6, so this is doable.
    2. try to consistently log my food 5x a week...... and try to stay under calorie goals at least 4-5x a week.
    3. work hard on getting in my water - 8 cups, at least 5x a week.
    4. I have incorporated going to the gym as a habit not, but it is also a habit I could easily break if I am not careful. So for this month again, go to the gym 5x a week minimum



    SO my goals for TOmorrow, March 1st (Wow, can it really be march already!!! So for 2 full months, I have not lost any weight. Time to get serious!!

    1. log all food
    2. concentrate on water. I need to work to turn this into a habit. Something I struggle with all the time
    3. sip on water in the evening -- this is when I do the most damage with snacking on unhealthy stuff
    4. work on chemo hats
    5. busy day with work tomorrow - but get oven fried chicken ready to pop in the oven after we ship.
    6. get back on here - be accountable.
    7. remember my march goals! Remember how great I can feel on April 1st if I stay on plan -- and get out of the 190s!

    JUST FOR TODAY 02/28/2018…

    Continue the process of letting go, this is hard, starting over.
    Mediate.
    Log all calories.
    Drink 12.5 glasses of water.
    Meet all of my Fitbit goals.
    Relax.

    I understand so well the process of letting go and starting over. I don;t know how many times I have started over. But the good news, is that we are starting over --- we are not giving up! You can do this .... we will do it together ... one day at a time. And each day we can start over!

    Hope you feel better soon! there is so much sickness going around -- hubby and I were both feeling crappy yesterday. I think this crazy weather certainly does not help - 35 one day, 60 the next day, and rainy, gloomy! Feel better soon, and your goals are perfect!
