    Sept 4 - 5/5
    Sept 5 - 5/5

    Had a fairly decent day yesterday, if I heard once I heard 500 times... "if we don't turn this branch around in 2-3 months we will be closing". I finally told him that I didn't know how that would happen and if they wanted to close it they should. I would go out with my head held high as I knew in my heart I did everything I knew how to do to be successful. I pointed out that I had a lot of promises made to me that were never followed through on so I would not feel bad about this.

    He called me this morning and told me he talked to the VP and we are going to hire a salesperson to help me out up here. We'll see if it happens or not. I will keep doing what I'm doing in the meantime and be proud of the work that I do. My thought is I was looking for work when I got this job so I can look for work again.

    1) Finally! Dew point was 51 & comfortable, temps nice & cool to walk dog before work / 3.68 mi 1:01:59 = happy dog :smiley: & happy me :smiley: can't use sunglasses smiley, since sunrise is at least 20 minutes after we leave the house (hate getting up in dark, and it's only going to get worse!) ~ reflective gear needs to come out pretty soon
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories green / > 12c water
    4) Find most recent weekly weigh-in post & update / same for most recent monthly goals
    5) At work: complete at least 3 samples
    6) Evening: make veg soup for supper now that weather is more seasonable / bake banana zucchini bread / boil eggs / drain rain barrel / look up race packet pick-up info for Fri. / more to-do's?
    7) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:30 (walk dog before work F)

    I actually woke up today at 5:22 a.m. and it was pitch black outside. I thought of you and my daughter (who just started doing yoga class at 5:30 a.m. every morning) and thought "good Lord! I can't even imagine getting up this early to exercise! It's not even light out!" HAHAHAHA! Think maybe I need to change my perspective?

    Glad you got to walk this morning though! I love this kind of weather. I'm not one for the "hot" days...high 60's to low 70's is perfect for me. Wish I could get out and take a walk today. It's gorgeous!

    Oh, and we had our windows open last night too. Wasn't it awesome? Kink of sucks that we wait all year to be able to have our windows open and let some fresh air in the house and then go right from using the furnace to the A/C! Autumn is my favorite season.

    @Snowflake1968 I don't use reflective gear. During hunting season I wear an orange vest (from under armor) that's very comfortable. If it's foggy, dusk, or dawn I strap on two headlamps - one on my forehead facing front and one on my chest facing back. I probably look like a ding-a-ling, but an easy to see ding-a-ling. I always worry that by the time headlights reflect off my gear, it will be too late for the driver to avoid me. I should note that I run down an unlined, rural road that does NOT have a posted speed limit.

    Wow you must have had a notebook beside you taking notes as you caught up!

    I am very happy to report my MIL got home from the hospital yesterday, we talked to her for about 40 minutes last night and she sounds better than she has sounded for months now. She said she feels much better and was talking about flying out next summer for Kaitlyn's wedding.

    I love AGT as well, I am so torn this year on who I want to win. I always console myself that even by appearing on the show the finalists usually end up being successful. This and The Voice are the only two talent type shows that I watch.

    Hopefully you are walking without crutches now and still getting some peace!

    I DID have a notebook! I had over 300 posts to read! I wouldn't normally have time to read through them, but seeing as how I'm stuck in this stupid recliner right now.... :wink:

    Glad to hear MIL is home and doing well! Great news!

    The Voice is probably my favorite shows and definitely is my favorite talent show. I like Amazing Race and Survivor also (reality shows). :blush:

    I walk mostly on sidewalks, but there is about 1km that I have to walk on the side of the street without a sidewalk. I was looking at the street lights last night and they don't seem to be as close together in that area and all of my workout clothes right now are black. I grew up in the country we shared a driveway with my grandparents. During hunting season we have to wear the orange vest to just run between houses. People would get up in the woods behind the houses and start shooting in the wrong direction! My brother has since closed the property off to hunters, he only allows friends that he knows knows the area.

    Here in Canada we get Coronation Street, it only airs Sunday's though I think. The daily soaps we get from American stations are Young and the Restless, General Hospital. I think most of the others have ended over the years, but I remember growing up from noon to 5 that was all that was on television Canadian and American stations. Morning tv was for children, afternoons for Moms, and evenings for the family or Dads.

    @Bex953172 We get Young & Restless which I started watching when I was 13 years old during summer vacation from school...jeez that's 45 years ago! We used to have All My Children, One Life to Live, General Hospital, Days of Our Life and Bold & Beautiful too. I was a junkie and watched most of them, but most of these aren't on anymore. I think the characters from All My Children and One Life to Live were kind of incorporated into General Hospital and it's now just one show. TMI? LOL

    @slittlemeister Thanks for the tip about watching Handmaid's Tale. OMG! I am totally hooked! Just finished Season 1 and am about to start Season 2. Dang....totally unexpected storyline!

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I weigh myself daily and log weekly / posting my Saturday a.m. weigh-in here. [My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.] No goal dates set ~ as long as my trend is downward, I get there when I get there!

    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.

    01/20 = 156.5
    01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing

    05/12 = 153.5 ok with this ~ think changing my MFP setting, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me ~ I'm not so hungry all the time

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    February 2018: 173.6
    March 2018: 179.6
    July 2018: 189.6
    Today: 185.6

    Great loss!!!

    Thanks! It's something of a fluctuation - and hey, we're in September, so I need to record my end-of-August weight. I'll look that up when I get home.

    @Snowflake1968 - I just use brightly-colored athletic clothing. I feel more confident running on roads in the dark than during the day, to be honest. At least when it's DARK, you don't have people driving without lights.

    I have to leave before 7:00 because I've got a half-hour commute to school and I'm required to sign in by 7:40 each morning. So I'm always getting up when it's dark out! And I live in the south, so that's really the only time of day it's decent to exercise outside this time of year, IMO. I see some people going for a run when I'm driving home or running errands in the evening and it's in the mid-80s to low 90s and I'm just like... I couldn't manage that!

    August Goals / Results:
    • Walk dog 5-6x per week = In past five weeks, walked 6x one week & 5x four weeks ~ total 88.71 miles ~ very happy dog B) & happy me B) Finished workplace Wellness Step Challenge on 8/31 but final results have not been posted yet; preliminary list had me in 21st place overall & eligible for a prize. :smiley:
    • Cross-train when weather does not permit walks: home version of weights & circuit training, or Sweaty Betty now that have new tech = No x-training since timed rest days with crap weather / busy schedule :D
    • Rest days: at least one per week but no more than two = One week had 1 rest day, other weeks had 2 rest days. :smile: Nice to "sleep in" some work days. :smiley:
    • Prelog food as often as possible & close MFP food diary every day (even 8/1 BFF bday drinks & dinner ~ have to guesstimate) = Have been prelogging more often & really seems to help me (some days) especially if I walk dog or have wiggle room. Did not close food diary for Feast with the Beasts or Taste on Broadway ~ since these were food & adult beverage samples at social events, I'm fine with this. Closed diary all other Aug. days, good or bad, even happy hour w/ former colleagues. :D
    • Net calories green or w/i 100 on 80% of month (25/31 days) = Yikes! Not so great: Had 15 days net calories green, six days < 150 red, and 10 days over by more than 150 (including days diary not closed). :#
    • Take measurements 8/31 a.m. before work F & log on MFP = Done ~ measurements not changing much but happy with clothes fitting well. Need to x-train. :neutral:
    • Scale goal: re-lose to 154# = Ended month at 154.5 so ok overall :smile:

    September Goals:
    • Walk dog 5-6x per week / wear reflective gear & headlamp when necessary
    • City Stadium 5K for Veterans 9/8/18 < 44:30
    • Cross-train when weather does not permit walks: home version of weights & circuit training, Sweaty Betty or other videos, WiiFit
    • Rest days: at least one per week but no more than two
    • Prelog food as often as possible & close MFP diary every day except: middle brother's wedding 9/1 & Labor Day weekend thru 9/3, maybe 9/16 since we're attending Vikings - Packers game (lottery tickets), maybe belated anniversary dinner with hubby (whenever/wherever we finally go)
    • Net calories green or w/i 100 on 80% of month (24/30 days)
    • Take measurements 9/30 Sunday a.m. before church & log on MFP
    • Scale goal: maintain below 153#

    Weight loss is not linear ~ at least not for me. The scale is a tool with data. Focus on the process, not the outcome.

    JFT 9/5/2018:
    • Log every bite, no matter how bad it is. :)
    • Follow-up with surgeon :)
    • September budget :#
    • Turn negative self-talk to positive. :)
    • Drama-free zone... :D
    • PT exercises for hip :)
    • JFT Challenges: April Water :) / May 15 min outside(self-care) :) / June Mindfulness :) / July Preplanning :) / August P.M. Snacking :) / September 5 per day :#3/5
    • Look at "Back to Basics" on Half Size Me :smile:
    • 15 minute digital declutter :)
    • Gratitude journal :/ fell asleep/ Calm App :neutral: / Read :)

    Post-op appointment went well. He did more work in my hip than I knew about. It's a bit more involved than I thought originally, but I am allowed to wean off crutches now and start some weight-bearing. It is amazing how excited I am about being able to get my own glass of water! Sounds silly, but it's something I take for granted and I really find myself feeling grateful for the gift of good health and the ability to walk and be independent.

    My husband went up north to set up some deer stands. Bowhunting starts next weekend and he's pretty excited. DH, his two sons and one grandson will go together opening weekend. I know many people don't approve of hunting, but just know we are not trophy hunters. Venison is very healthy meat and we take it to the butcher to have it made into hamburger, stew meat, roasts, steaks, bratwurst and sausage.

    I plan to ask my DH to move my sewing machine upstairs tomorrow so I can spend some time quilting. It'll have to be short spurts here and there because I can only be seated at the table for short periods of time, but I'll take it. I'm so sick of daytime TV!!!! (Except for the Handmaid's Tale...I'm totally binge watching this one right now.)

    Just for Thursday (9/6)
    • Log every bite
    • PT exercises for hip

    @Bex953172 We get Young & Restless which I started watching when I was 13 years old during summer vacation from school...jeez that's 45 years ago! We used to have All My Children, One Life to Live, General Hospital, Days of Our Life and Bold & Beautiful too. I was a junkie and watched most of them, but most of these aren't on anymore. I think the characters from All My Children and One Life to Live were kind of incorporated into General Hospital and it's now just one show. TMI? LOL

    @slittlemeister Thanks for the tip about watching Handmaid's Tale. OMG! I am totally hooked! Just finished Season 1 and am about to start Season 2. Dang....totally unexpected storyline!

    LOL I was hooked on Another World and then Texas as a very young child, watched them both continuously into adulthood. I missed the last few months of Another World as we moved and I didn't have a VCR to record it when I worked.

    I remember my mom used to watch Another World! The only person I remember from the show was Rachel... or was that from As the World Turns? :smiley:

    @PackerFanInGB - yay for weight bearing! It's a start!

    Do pickles count as vegetables if they are made of cucumbers?
