Such a profound decision on your part. I empathize with what you're going through. I lost my sister this year--she was ill with muscular dystrophy for 15 years. I miss her terribly, but I've resolved that I will adopt some of her life attitudes and actions to become a better person.2 -

@maryrobinson and @toaljasa love your images - they are great, and I'm stealing them for other places.
@snowflake1968 Are there any wholesale appliance parts places around? Sometimes they'll sell parts to the public, so faster than amazon and without the repairman charge.
😂👏👏👏😍 help yourself. Love you💕0 -

Love, hugs, and prayers for you sister.🙏0 -
@cory17 - that’s what we did, we found the part was given a quote of 109.00 for the part which was $60 more than Amazon but able to get right now. The parts department told me that it was non refundable and if we were self diagnosing we would be out the money, hubby and I discussed it and tried to make a decision that would not cost us a fortune. Our Son in Law went and got the part for us, since our car still isn’t working, hubby installed it and so far so good. It’s started about 6 times now on its own without his intervention.

@ZizzyBumble - I do the same thing, but eventually I remember.1

GOOD EVENING...
JFT TUESDAY
IT rained all day here, but I walked the girls to the bus stop anyway.
I came back and washed my bed linens. While they washed I read two
chapters of another book I have started. I got up and did my walking
in the house while doing arm exercises I folded and put away clothes.
I ate a fish sandwich for lunch. And did some aerobics for a little while.
Encouraged a few folks, laid down for a nap, but didn't get one, my mind
wouldn't quiet down long enough for me to.
I did some online searches for career options. Didn't get very far with that...
family distractions Just finished with church conference call. That's it for my day.
Bed time now... I'll read one more chapter while I wait for my sleeping pill to
ease my mind.
Good night my beautiful angels. I love you.💕😍1 -
@PackerFanInGB you were right, i had pizza! 🐟🐟 <- hope you get what that means LOL!

Sorry -- I've been a really bad diet coach lately! OK ..... get ready for me to watch you more LOL!!!!!0 -

I am so very very sorry for your loss. It is the most difficult thing to lose our parents. Be kind to yourself during this time though... you need time to grieve and be close to the ones you love. But also, know that your dad would want you to be healthy and happy. When I lost my brother (after gaining 30 pounds during his illness), that was when I took control and lost the weight ... because I knew my brother wanted me to stay as healthy as I could. Hugs to you ... and I will be thinking of you.

My goals for tomorrow will be simple
1. go to the gym (but stay away from my friend who was sneezing and coughing at the gym!
Did not get to the gym ... I just could not get up this morning. For me, if I have a nite I can't sleep, it is the 2nd day where I feel it. Plus, it was bitterly cold outside with high windchills! So ... took the day off. Also... maybe sick friend will be better at the gym if I give it a day ... either she will stay home, or be better herself so I don't catch what she has!
2. log all food
Did so much better .... way over on carbs, but calories I can live with.
3. concentrate on water And ... I'm sipping my water now!
4. high protein/ low carbs. Try and keep carbs between 20-40 65 --- but its because of popcorn tonite.
5. turn over problems to God. Accept what I am unable to control Our daughter came out ... I took her to the bookstore. While she is not staying with us... all I can do is be there for her. At least she still comes out here.
JFT, Wed
1. go to the gym
2. log ALL food
3. mindful eating
4. Jan challenge -- 8+ c water
5. Feb challenge -- 1 nitetime snack, then brush teeth
6. eat slowly
7. plan meals for next day so I am prepared. Its dinner that I struggle with ... so need to plan. Not sure if hubby and I are going out or not.1 -

"DISCIPLINE"[/i]. Because I know that is what I need ... the discipline to do mindful eating, the discipline to look up calories ahead of time, the discipline to get to the gym regularly, the discipline to drink my water, and the discipline to never give up.[/i][/b]

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 2019January 1, 2019: 206
Feb 1, 2019: 201.6
Feb 8: 206.6 --- my own fault.
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!
Weight goals 2019:Feb: 200 -- Almost made this goal! (Actual 201.6)

Sincere condolences @frenchfancy2014 - so sorry for the loss. Well done for keeping going on here and trying to stay healthy. Can’t be easy but you have a great attitude.
@mytime6630 I’m glad your daughter came out. That must have been a relief. And sounds like you had a good day without the gym. Wish I could do this sometimes. I often feel if I’ve skipped a workout then somehow I’ve ruined the day, so give up. Hence my 2019 word of balance - need to be less all or nothing! So thanks for the inspiration!
@snowflake1968 I’m so glad you have a working furnace again! Was shivering just thinking about it! We have now got unseasonably warm weather on its way in London!0 -
I’m up early again today as it’s my class assembly this morning and I want to get a workout in. Not quite a 2:30am start but still silly o’clock! Typically I’ve been making Wednesday a long run day as my afternoon is out of class planning so a bit more sedentary on the steps but I feel like I need to stay home in case I remember something I need to do and then end up far from home and panicking!
Stayed on track yesterday despite the tiredness and can see the end of work stress in sight - 3 more days until half term (one week off!
Tuesday goals recap:
- morning workout ✅
- Online groceries ✅
- Final props ✅
- Early to work, start decorating hall and stick sheets in ✅

- Re-read 2019 goals, no stress snacking. Be calm ✅

Having a rather stressful week and dealt with that by having a rather large binge eat. Not very pleased with myself. But, I can still lose this week if I stay on track for the rest of the week. So all is not lost. And I think next week should be less stressful.

Didn't quite manage all my steps yesterday but I did the 30 minute exercise dvd and drank the litre of water in addition to my normal drinks. So today, I have stripped all the bedding, I'm going to turn the mattress, move the bed and, of course, do all the associated hoovering and dusting (there will be a lot ) then remaking the bed. Not quite formal exercise but it will be a serious workout. Later I will walk part of the way into town, about 6500 steps, I'm going to a class to learn how to do basic alterations to sewing patterns. 1
