2019 JFT Words For The Year
@cory17 Consistency "Slow and steady wins the race"
Consistency: firmness of constitution or character : persistency; steady continuity
@Sofia_Alegria Consistency. This takes a lot of focus on the target, which leads to victory.
Consistency: firmness of constitution or character : persistency; steady continuity
@newdaydawning79 Determination. This word will move you right along your journey!
Determination: a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult.
@HEGoddard0928 Discipline That's the most popular word so far...three of us have chosen it
Discipline: restraint exercised over one's own impulses, emotions, or desires.
@ZizzyBumble Methodical Great word---takes some focus and planning!
Methodical: done according to a systematic or established form of procedure. I think this word calls for
some synonyms! Well thought out; planned; disciplined
@clicketykeys Climbing! Julie Andrews burst out in song in my head! "Climb every mountain...!"
Climbing: Moving to a higher position; to go upward with gradual or continuous progress
@Faebert Balance. Ahhh...this is something so many of us continue to strive for. And when we reach it we have so much peace around us.
Balance: a condition in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions. (love "correct proportions")
@Bex953172 Discovery! That word demands an exclamation mark!
Discovery: Finding something unexpectedly during a search; the act of becoming aware of something
@AJB1014 Driven I like the words found in the definition...relentlessly compelled.
Driven: relentlessly compelled by the need to accomplish a goal; very hard-working and ambitious.
@mytime6630 My Word for the Year is also DISCIPLINE! I thought it was perseverance but discipline kept demanding to be heard and I finally just gave in and said, Okay, Okay! Have your way!
Discipline: restraint exercised over one's own impulses, emotions, or desires.
@PackerFanInGB Tenacious conjures up all kinds of word pictures. Steely eyes, bared teeth, almost snarling, lol!
Tenacity: persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired
@slittlemeister A two-fer for you this year! Mindful and Moderation These are very strong words and are very active words.
Mindful: Aware. (In other words, "taking every bite captive!"
Moderation: in a way that is reasonable and not excessive
@snowflake1968 Your word for 2019 is Determined. That is extremely powerful.
Determine: Firmly resolved (love the part "firmly")

Yea! It's Friday!
Let's purpose to be mindful this weekend. Some of us have gained momentum this week in losing weight, having constraint, coming in at green; others of us have struggled, slipped, due to illness or emotions and then there are those of us who have remained steadfast without nary a budge on the scales (Me! Me! Me!)
The next three days come around every week! Let's be mindful and purposeful this weekend. Determine that instead of 4 cocktails or beers, 2 will do. Instead of eating that dessert in one swoop, cut it half and have the rest the next day. Instead of 2 cheeseburgers, have 1. Instead of a huge bowl of ice cream, choose a small bowl and be satisfied with one serving.

Recap R 1/17
1) X-trained (weights/circuit) before work 24 min. = happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings = Fitbit 8,149 steps (don't always get as many when I x-train), 250+ steps 13/14 (lost track of time at work) & 26 floors
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / lunch at desk during webinar / net calories zero / 14c water = Ack! After choir, Return of the Snack Attack of Veggie Crisps straight from the bag!
Did guesstimate for logging: net calories -808 , sodium -79, sugar -14, fiber & protein good (thanks to crisps so maybe I needed, just not so many) & 12c water Good or bad days, I analyze to see where I need to make changes.
4) Evening: choir 6:30 / to-do list lots done on computer at home
5) Unplug 9:00
see above / floss 
/ retainers / set/verify early alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (treadmill before work F)
JFT F 1/18 ~ This morning, I switched early (workout) alarm to late (get up for work) alarm... skipped morning workout, again. *sigh*
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
2) Need to prelog lunch & supper / net calories zero / 14c water
3) Evening: mail citrus order / laundry / read Sunday ads / other?
4) Unplug 10:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / NO alarm (yay), bed & tv off 11:00 (winter market Sat. a.m.)1 -

That is one way of looking at it!
An ex colleague of mine said something similar: 'it feels like I've always got tons i need to do but the day I don't is the day I don't have a job anymore'..... I think there's a lot of truth in that!3 -
Awww, thank you all SO much for encouraging me! It really does matter. I'm going around checking on students as they work and in between answering questions I've got a clipboard of student work that I'm evaluating as I go. WHEW. Getting in lots of steps today too, hahaha!5

Sat in the car for travelling, but didn’t snack. Ate half of my pizza at a restaurant and drank lots of water. Good start of the holiday. Hope there will be healthier dinner options for vegetarians the rest of my holiday.4
