Good morning! It's going to be a quick one today. Have to get ready for work. I'll try to post at work too.
Had a great day yesterday. Worked on my outline, read a bunch, spent time with the DH. It was fun.
Back to work today. Really don't want to go. But MG comes back from her vacation today! I can't wait! I've missed her so much. I hate when I'm the only teller. It'll be awesome to see her again! AND I FINALLY get a break again AND I'll get to leave early too!
Okay! On to goals!
JFT, 01-02-2019
1. Log all food 😁 And was in the green!
2. Bring lunch to work! 😁Also forgot that I already had lunch in the fridge at work
3. Put food in crock pot 😶
4. Finish one chapter in outline😐 About 2/3
5. Read prologue of Monster 😁
6. Dinner 😅 Ended up ordering salads for delivery
7. DISHES(OMFG!!!) 😂 About half of them...maybe in the morning...
8. Set out clothes/make lunch for tomorrow😁 Going to do this in a few minutes though I don't need to bring lunch
9. Bed between 1030-11...lets be realistic here. Lol 😶 Hopefully...but honestly...not sure. Its 1015 and I still want to get some reading done before bed.
Had some really awesome news today. Turns out we did have GAP coverage on the Subaru so we may actually end up with money in our pockets after this is all said and done!
AND
When the DH goes back to work next month he's getting promoted to key holder/manager in training at a store that is significantly closer then the one he was at.
Things are looking up!!!

Ooh, tenacity! I like it! Have you looked up your word in the dictionary?
"persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired...showing power to resist or endure..." are you getting stronger and more tenacious just reading this???
You are persistent, able to resist, and determined! The new Tracy of 2019!4 -
meggers123 wrote: »@meggers123 well done for logging the chocolates anyway. I’m the worst for not logging when I go seriously off track. If you’re logging you’re halfway there. Tomorrow is absolutely a new day - and why this thread is so great x
My first instinct was to not log it and hide my embarrassment. But then I realized if I don’t hold myself accountable, then who will? And I really want to make a change. So now it’s out there, and hopefully accountability helps me to make positive changes.
I log the ugly too for accountability. It’s one thing this group has really taught me. One day in the dark dark red doesn’t mean it’s a fail and time to give up. It means it was one ugly day but tomorrow we get to try again.6 -
Love this "spoiler" function ... so decided to also post mine. I would like to encourage everyone to maybe do this? Wouldn't it be fun at the end of the year to see where we have all come ... all that we have learned together.... and we are ALL going to reach our goals.

Every year from Halloween until New Years I seem to gain weight. It is a combination of seasonal depression/ missing loved ones (having lost 4 of my siblings who I was very close to), and just missing the big family get togethers. Upset with myself, but I feel uncontrollable in this ... this is one of my main goals to learn this new year.

Non-scale related goals for 2019:1. learn how to stop/control binge eating
2. learn how to manage stress/emotional eating

4. consistently learn and be better at planning meals for the week .... make this a regular thing to do

@PackerFanInGB - I am a night owl by nature and have a really hard time making myself go to bed on time to be able to get up in the morning when I need to. About 3 years ago I started going to bed half an hour earlier each night until nights that I have to be getting up I am in bed by 10. I still read for a few minutes in bed. I also moved my alarm clock across the room. It forced me to get up. I very rarely now ever hit a snooze button. I don’t even have an alarm clock in the room. I only use my cell if Rodger isn’t going to be home to wake me. I can’t smack him and make him come back so it helps too!2

Motivational quote for today
Small Changes Can Make a BIG Difference!
Welcome!!! And yes, getting on here definitely makes us accountable! Having to report to someone makes me stop and think twice ... especially if I am honest on here But the nice thing is that if anyone has a bad day ... there is always someone to boost us up! 1 -

2019 Word for the Year: Tenacity
Look at all those smiley faces Great job!!! This is going to be our year!!!And for the snooze .... remember... you body has been through a lot lately! Maybe you really need the rest much more than you realize! Going for a walk in the evening is just as good as in the morning ... and you can still get in those few extra minutes of sleep! But ... you not suppose to oversleep and feel rushed LOL I do that many times when I try and set the alarm much earlier ... it took me a good month to start waking up before my alarm would go off. But if we are going to travel or anything like that, and have to set the alarm too much before our regular time ... I lay awake all nite long, worrying that I will oversleep!!
But ... be kind to yourself. You are doing great!2 -

My weekly weigh in. It is an average over the last 7 days and this week is not pretty! I am up 1.7 pounds over the week, I seemed to do worse after Christmas Day with all of the junk left in the house. Hopefully it starts going down again soon. I did do a Leslie Sansone walk tonight for 3 miles, my first since October 30. I need to get back at this seriously now that I have time. Mother of the Bride dress shopping is in about 6 weeks, and in 12 weeks we are having family pictures taken. I want to lose again before both of these occur.
So here is the ugly for this weeks weigh-in, all the negatives are actually a gain due to the way I have the excel sheet set up.
