I only have 134 pages to go and I would have completed my first "read" of this year.
And I have logged in 155 days... 155 days of accountability and determination.
I hope a hundred pounds were gone by now... LMBO!!! Nevertheless, I can say I may
not be where I want to be in weight YET!, but I'm better than I have been, and I am on my way
towards better, and I'm happy to do so. I WANT TOMORROW TO BE BETTER THAN TODAY🎈🎇🎈

Not had the best day food wise but miraculously in the green? Ill take that!
So tired though. Id love to catch up on some sleep. Glad its friday tomorrow. One more day of school runs! Not that ill get a lie in on the weekend though. Meh4 -
Got my second HIIT session in after work, and a short (for me) mini-trampoline jogging session in before supper - unexpectedly needed to head over to my BFF's house (she had heart valve replacement operation end of November - overall recovering well, but still needs help with things, and no one was home to heat up some soup for her supper ... so all other evening plans scrapped.
And I made the Winner's Circle in my Ultimate Accountability Challenge - only 2 pass days used in January.
I MAY have to use my first (planned since NOVEMBER) February Pass on Feb 1 ... going straight from the office to a restaurant to a live community theater musical (Beauty and the Beast). I can probably get the requisite 20 minutes exercise in (as I now do 10 minutes every morning) but not quite sure how the eating is going to pan out .... restaurant dinners on workdays are harder to work around while still eating SOMETHING during the day so you aren't ready to just eat the table when you arrive ..... but you can't fit extra exercise calorie burns in earlier in the day either.
Stay tuned.
We are now out of January, and on to a new month.3 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
Today: 186.0
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding.
2. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Regular: needs practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Honors also needs practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases.
3. Connect standards to assignments and include them in titles and in gradebook and lessons.
4. Develop writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts.
5. Write next blog post. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Barn order: stapler, pencil sharpener
6. Keep track of medical stuffs. Dentist? Also Feb 7 9:30 w Ac Int. Sub already set up. Apr 22 McC. Need sub. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Take recycling to center. Wash car.
8. Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Can poetry unit be condensed?
9. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, Harvey Mansfield, or Robert Adams). Check on alternate translations for The Prince.
Yesterday was a LONG day. I slept almost undisturbed right up to the alarm, so I've had to get ready a bit faster this morning. But I had an unexpected drop on the scale this morning, so I'm feeling pretty good. And also? It's Friday!5 -
JFT 31st January
Log everything and stay under calories DONE
Do back exercises, think they might be starting to help DONE
Walk with a friend DONE, managed an hour
Make soup before friend arrives DONE
Must must must sort out electricity supplier, last day! I tried, honestly I tried. Took a while to decide the tariff I wanted, then discovered I couldn't do it online. Tried throughout evening to phone supplier but their phone lines were constantly busy. Did it this morning
So pleased it's February, still cold but surely getting closer to spring. I'm happy that I didn't go to the takeaway at all in January (both for health and finances), it's a bit of a guilty weakness of mine. Probably more down to the fact that it's cold and dark in the evening, rather my willpower working lol.
JFT 1st February
Log everything and stay under calories
Do exercises
Do end of month paperwork
Visit parents
Looking after 2 large energetic dogs today so won't get much done

The "why-in-the-past" doesn't matter .... looking forward you can remind yourself that you have already done it! Why not count up ~ how much money you DID ACTUALLY save, and use that as the easy-to-point-to "more "immediate gratification carrot / distraction / strategy " to get you through another cold dark month .... by spring, it will be even easier to keep it to an occasional OWNED choice rather than an unthinking impulse.
Your health will thank you, and as you notice tangible improvements in that area too, it will only reinforce the re-vamped "just how I am" lifestyle.
That's how the UAC challenge underlying strategy works. Own you choices / planned passes.
=========
Gotta go scrape the car, but I have two videos i'd like to post later, to encourage people to make their own "adapted UAC" markers for this month's personal goal / achievement that is tied to a NSV, and not even necessarily an MFP marker. Something accomplished through daily bite-sized bits and choices, which is what this JFT thread is all about!
I can already see it happening in me, but no time to expand on that right now ....

May the year of February be not so tough ....3 -
Recap 1/31 Th ~ Missed mom's 82nd bday celebration due to weather & road conditions, and saw photos there w/ all 4 of my siblings, BIL & 1 SIL, and aunt who's leaving for 5 months in Oz. I felt bad about missing until I called in evening, when dad was so relieved I didn't chance driving 90 miles on crappy roads in dangerous wind chills. That made me feel better.
1) Month end w-i and measurements / log on MFP = Done
2) Treadmill 3 miles = 51:48 + cool down + stretched
3) Move hourly / 5 somethings = Fitbit 10,918 steps, 250+ steps 11/14 & 48 floors (we live in two story house & treadmill is in basement)
4) Finish writing cards & car payment check that must now be mailed instead of delivered personally = Done
5) Make fruit salad (that I was going to take to mom and dad's) = Done
6) Prelog meals & snacks / net calories zero / 12c water = Did well for change ~ wanted to snack after supper, recognized I wasn't truly hungry & had 1 baby pillow (old fashioned Christmas hard candy in miniature)... that kept me from eating & then the feeling passed. Net calories green 15 , sodium -138 , sugar -36 (mostly fruit salad & leftover cake from hubby's bday), fiber & protein good (yay) & 14c water (yay)
7) Declutter at least 15 min. / other to-do's bunch of little stuff done
8) Unplug 9:00 9:30 / floss / retainers / bed and TV off 10:20 10:30
JFT 2/1 F ~ Rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work / 5 somethings
2) Snacks & (most) meals prelogged w/ wiggle room / stick w/ plan / net calories zero / 14c water
3) Work: clear email backlog / issue PA-OESC final report / progress on UTH DVD review
4) Evening: pick up citrus at NEWLHS / drop mail at PO / buy mushrooms (making chicken in mustard this weekend ~ yum!) / balance bank accounts / PM gems woman / declutter 15 min. / other to-do's
5) Unplug 10:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 11:00 (no alarm)
Thought I'd share another recipe, Chicken in Mustard from Melissa D'Arabian on foodnetwork.com. Of course I tweak it, use canned tomatoes and add extra mushrooms & chicken thighs so it serves 6. Can omit wine if you want. MFP recipe builder calculates 464 calories per serving. Serve with noodles or skinny mashed potatoes (no cream or butter) ~ I eat carbs btw.
ETA: Would be helpful if I included the link. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/chicken-in-mustard-recipe-19235581 -
So, I forgot to look through the hard copy of my weight log this morning (I didn't get up before the alarm went off like I usually do, so it was a little more hurried than usual). I went back to the 2018 JFT to check my scale progress and this morning's unexpected whoosh brought me to 186.0, which I haven't seen since sometime in NOVEMBER.
Honestly, I was surprised to get a whoosh, given that I had some salty popcorn before going to bed, but I'll take it! Chances are pretty good that things will swing back up again tomorrow and it'll be a bit before I see 185-point-anything, but right now I'm feeling good about seeing ANY progress.3 -
Today I'm focusing on self-care and staying within my calorie goals. (Try not to go over 1500 for the day and most of the time I'm lower. Just depends on the day really.)3

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.
Year 2019
January 1, 2019: 206
Feb 1, 2019: 201.6 --- Almost made my goal of 200. March 1st goal is 195
Non-scale related goals 2019:1. learn how to stop/control binge eating
2. learn how to manage stress/emotional eating
3. keep up a gratitude journal everyday
4. consistently learn and be better at planning meals for the week .... make this a regular thing to do
5. consistently continue with exercising 5x a week. Be more confident in how I look.
6. make drinking water a daily habit ... not something I have to work at.
7. Reach my goal weight .... then learn how to maintain it!! -- DO not gain weight at the end of the year!

Walk 1 Mile
5 Fruits and Veggies
Only 1 evening Snack
5 something at bathroom break
Write in Journal
Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices.
I really need to concentrate on no evening snacking and make my walking a priority in the evening. I am eating too much. I also realized yesterday that I do better on days that I actually have an egg and toast for late breakfast/lunch.
I did my measurements this morning and there is no change so I need to get at that too.
I had a very kind gesture this morning. It brought tears to my eyes. We are in a mobile home that my friend owns. We are buying it from her on a rent to own deal that we did legally. She had severe rheumatoid arthritis so moved to Mexico. With me being off work we are struggling badly with finances. I didn’t know how to tell her I wasn’t going to have money this month for her. Before I had sent her a message, she had sent me a message telling me she’s got it for a bit and not to worry. She owns this outright it is the park fees that I worry about as that is money out of her pocket. She sold her two properties in Mexico and is building her new house so she said she’s fine and for me not to worry. What a stress relief that was.
Now I can concentrate fully on finding a job and not have that guilt in my head. Last night another friend offered to buy a battery for our car, I told her I would think about it and I may take her up on it. I haven’t decided. I guess all the times I have helped people out is coming back to me. Now I just need a job!

Frenchfancy2014 - hugs to you. It’s been a very emotional week for you. I hope you soon get to take a day and just be.
Bex953172 - I really wish I was closer. I would take your girls so you could have a sleep in.
BMCc9 - Congratulations on the winner circle. Good luck figuring out your day today food wise. January seemed excruciatingly long. I hope February goes faster.
Faebert - I am making a cake tomorrow for my girls , I can guarantee I won’t be up at 4 doing it though. I don’t know how you do it!

I have the girls birthday gifts almost done. Kaitlyn’s is done I just need to make her card today. Lauryn’s I haven’t decided if I should put a quote on it or not. If I do, it has to be a smaller quote.

As promised earlier ...
The following Ted Talk video was originally shared in my UAC challenge last December, but is SOO worth regular repeat viewing.
Inside the mind of a master procrastinator – Tim Urban
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU
By watching it first, you will GET why, as shown in this second video (from a different challenge), so many go for the immediate, easy choice without making the connection to the fact that they are only making things harder for themselves down the road. This 10 min video from Fearless Motivation features the National Spokesperson for the Boys&Girls cCub of America, Denzel Washington
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyzuzFISNJ0&feature=youtu.be
To me, this video encapsulates the Big Picture (General) Theory behind what we learn on a personal, practical level by keeping on keeping on No …. Matter …. HOW …. an individual day goes. The principles apply whether we are talking MPF (scale-impacting) goals, or other NSV reasons that brought you to / have kept you here in JFT Land (like job hunting or keeping ahead of the dishes)
Can you see a way to apply the Goal => Day-by-Day Discipline and Commitment => Accomplishment formula to your own specific situation and challenges to get you through the month?
For me – setting aside the fun&easy pleasure of reading with my (workday) breakfast, gained me even MORE pleasure from being ahead of thicker “normal driving conditions” morning rush-hour traffic. I am STILL amazed at how much difference 10 minutes sooner out of the driveway makes!
Getting up RIGHT when the alarm rings (hard) to fit in the daily pre-work 10 minutes of HIIT has already paid off in inches shed / lowered Body Fat % formula results (delayed gratification win)
Go TEAM!
Each of us can work this in our own way, applied to our own circumstances, to end February in some way farther along our individual paths than where we stand at this moment!

LOVE the book-quilt!!! (the other is really good too .... but incase you missed it .... I have been a bookaholic from the cradle ... )1 -
Also I just started a beautiful pot of vegetable soup that I'm really excited about!
I figured while I'm being kind to myself I might as well eat well and get lots of vitamins.

HEY! It's the first day of a new month... HAPPY FEBRUARY SISTERS AND BROTHERS!
I'm ok and I'm on my way. Sometimes we miss our exit in life, but we shouldn't stress because there's another
chance to get off the next one...lol. Ok I had about two naughty thoughts and I'm moving along quickly.
This weekend, let's do our best to ENJOY what WEEKEND means.
We can choose to make the most of it, or we can cash in our chips and hope we get away with the complimentary fruit basket... Ok...some of you may be scratching your heads over that statement...Hahaha. We can do what's right
and know that the outcome will be success, or we can so call cheat, which only gives momentary feel goods and leave us in tears on the scale.
I want to do something good for me this weekend. I'm feeling confident that we all will do well this weekend.
Love you Ladies and gentlemen.
Mary, over and out

This is from the GEM fb page and I thought of our little group (note: there is a difference from analyzing where you are weak and figuring out how to overcome said weakness and condemning yourself for stumbling. Peace and joy.)
What you SAY to yourself matters 🙌
Imagine you had a choice of roommates. Would you want to live with someone who constantly criticized you and noticed everything you did WRONG or someone who always was kind to you, and celebrated every GOOD thing you did, no matter how small?
You are the ONLY one who lives in your mind 24/7. What does your internal dialogue look like?
And ask yourself...has being harsh and self-critical ever actually benefited you? 🤔
If it hasn't, maybe some change is in order. Maybe instead of beating yourself up, you should cheer yourself on. Be your own encourager, and surround yourself with others who do the same! 💕4 -
