Here is the screen grab of the nutritional info of that iced coffee. I think it’s pre-made and they blend with ice. So no wriggle room- think it has to be filed under ‘not worth it unless I’m actually willing to skip a meal!!’...

5. At least 30 minutes physical activity - hopefully a hike with the family ❎
Well, yesterday did not go as I intended! I did have a full day, but got sidetracked cleaning up my office area and preparing Easter dinner so did not do the seedlings or get a hike in. Next time I will get my goals completed before getting distracted with other chores.... so many things on the list!!! Eating went OK, managed NOT to eat any of the chocolate and am proud of that. Decided to have a glass of wine and dessert with dinner and ended the day 208 calories over. It was a conscious choice so I’m OK with that... on to a new day today.
@Snowflake1968 - I’m in Ontario! Winter just seems to want to hold on here....
@nlmackey98 - I’m new here, but wanted you to know you are definitely not alone! I’m glad you are feeling better. I was truly inspired by your positive thoughts
@mytime6630 - I love digging in the dirt too! I call my gardening time “playing in my grownup sandbox”
Sorry your day didn’t go as planned yesterday... and thank you for a good reminder for me to call my mom back when she calls!
I so enjoy everyone’s positive thoughts... I am going to try doing the same. It doesn’t come easy to me, so clearly its something I should work on. Positive thought for today: I slept a little better last night using the techniques I am learning in my mindful meditation course.
Today’s goals:
1. Track all food intake/stay within calorie goal
2. At least 30 minutes physical activity
3. Complete day 3 Mindful Meditation course and reflections on day 2
4. Start seedlings indoors and plant cold weather veg outdoors
5. Prep food for the week
Have a wonderful day everyone!3 -

End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 189.2
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: 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. 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, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. 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. Need 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. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need 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). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: 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. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Apr 25 Dentist. Apr 22 McC. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia ??? Need sub for May 2, opening day.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. May 4 is SW Day and FCB Day. Coloring at library on Tuesday.
WFTY: Climbing. The writing is bothering me. I feel like I ought to be able to do more than I'm doing. (That's kind of an ongoing thing, it seems.) I won't have internet access while I'm waiting at the dr's office BUT hopefully I'll be able to at least draft my discussion post. Which I meant to do yesterday. *sigh*
Positive thought: It's pretty out today. I'm going to go for a walk before heading for my checkup. Coloring party is tomorrow!2 -
PS - @Faebert there's ALWAYS wiggle room. Could you go with a friend and split one? Or ... hm. If you've got a nice blender, you could have half right away and then freeze the other half and then blend it.
Gosh, what if you go through all that work, though, and you DON'T like it? ;D Man, I'd be ticked!

I definitely indulged at Easter dinner and really all day. I did get a workout in and I'm just letting the rest of the day go. It was a holiday after all. I'm heading to Antigua in about 3 weeks and I'm going to use that to really focus in on some goals and mindfulness. I'm realizing that eating really good food is very important to me maintaining my goals. If I just eat to live and don't add in things that make me happy I can't stick to it for very long. So I'm going to try to tailor my goals today to see how that works for me.
Yesterday:
JFT 4/21
Be reasonable at Easter Dinner
Family walk for exercise
Be positive
Take the whole day OFF I did do a little work but not a whole lot so I call this a win!
Be easy on yourself and don't let setbacks derail you
JFT 4/22
Walk outside for 45 minutes. Earn Earth Day badge on Apple Watch
Mindful Eating, all meals and snacks
One minute breathing meditation x5
5 fruit/veg
Stay within calorie budget
When someone says something that aggravates me take one full breath in and one full breath out before answering (combating PMS right now)
When I want to eat something that I know I'm not really hungry for, drink a glass of water and take a 5 minute break before I make a decision
I am PMS'ing HARD right now. I want to eat all the things, everything annoys me, and my boobs are so sore. I will not let my own body sabotage me 3 weeks before my fabulous girls vacation!

Hi Friends! Hope you all had a nice weekend with family! It sure went by fast!
I had a second makeup trial for the wedding on Friday and I'm SO thrilled I tried someone else after I was unsure of the first one. I felt beautiful, but still felt like myself. The first makeup artist used a very yellow foundation to hide my redness - but I felt unlike myself, since I'm very rosy all over and always have been. This new makeup artist let a bit of my red peek thru and used a less yellow foundation so it was more natural looking while still giving some coverage. She also did my hair which turned out amazing - more than I had even hoped for! I'm so excited!
I fell off this weekend with setting goals here; I worked Saturday at the pool store, and Sunday my mom came over and helped me spring clean and do a little Easter dinner. So I definitely got my steps in and was very active although I ate without logging. But...back to it today!
JFT Monday
1. Log all food
2. Start waters NOW
3. Eat packed lunch
4. Cook dinner at home - pizza with kale salad
5. Pick up drain auger and light bulbs on lunch break
6. Bank to deposit check on lunch break
7. Make cold brew
8. Freeze extra ham
9. Hard boil eggs
10. Bed by 9:30
11. Read/Update this list later

Thanks for the positive thoughts y'all.
Sunday, I ate way too much like many of you. I didn't log it, because I didn't want to see it. This is much the same reason I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks...
Despite being a little disappointed with myself, I had a good day with family. That was my focus for the day. Happy family time. I did a lot of house work & laundry Friday, so I had time to take a nice long nap after church yesterday. Still did 2 loads of laundry. Then I gave myself a little pedicure. After walking nearly 13 miles in rain boots the day before, my poor feet needed the hot soak with Epsom salts and a little love with the pumice. Then the girls and dogs and I sprawled out on the big sectional in the family room and watched a movie. Hubby brought down real popcorn made on the range with real butter and salt (It was so good) and squeezed in on the couch.
It was a really good day. I didn't cry or check out.
JFT Monday
- Work by 8:00 -
yes, but in a ball cap with no makeup and hair not fixed.
- Limit to 3-4 small pieces of candy (already hit that)
- Lunch under 300 calories
- Don't let work over whelm me, this is tough right now.
- Go pick up my daughter's dress for semi-formal from the tailor. (Overpriced for what was done, but I can't sew.
My mom is an excellent seamstress, but her house smells like cigarette smoke and dogs. I'd have to have it cleaned)
- Not lay down on the couch when I get home from work/errands and just lie about.
- Go for a hilly hike AND / OR clean small upstairs bathroom. Including wipe down of the walls.
- Dinner under 600 calories
- Stay under 1500 net calories, 1200 isn't realistic right now without exercise.
- Not fall asleep watching TV, go to bed in my bed.
Positive thought for today:
Thankful for a supportive group of virtual friends, who I don't have to pretend around.

@mytime6630 I pray for you and your family. Mental illness is a *kitten*. I'm luck in that I have been able to hold down a job and am not usually in the extremes. Though I will say that the people at work are not surprised to see me cry.
I hope that you know that your daughters tears are not because of you. If anything she seems to find peace at your house, even though her activities there are not what you'd like. Everyone is different, but it can be hard when you feel crushed inside to go outside, to travel to see those you love, sometimes even to be seen. She does these things to be with you. Let yourself know how much that means. She loves you, she can count on you and she feels safe with you.
@Faebert - You are such an positive example. What do you do for a living? How old are your kids? When my kids were young I mostly stayed home with them. I taught fitness classes at the local YMCA (they had free child watch), and I taught a basic math course at the local community college when the kids were in PreK. I was in really good shape. I went back to work full time and for the first year fitness was a real priority and I trained excessively. My husband picked up a lot of slack that year. After that, I just became worn down. Now I just can't seem to find a balance. I know what to do, I just can't seem to find the mental fortitude to do it.
@clicketykeys - Have you already done the Momma Mia audition? If not good luck!2 -

2. 10,000 steps
3. walk on at least one work break

I had a great day yesterday, Kaitlyn and Brodey showed up around noon and they started building the archway she will be walking through to walk down the aisle. I spent most of the afternoon outside with them and the Grands when they arrived. I had walked over a mile without even realizing it! I moved for pretty much 6 hours straight yesterday without sitting down once. It was awesome!
I had dinner ready for 530 because I thought that was when Lauryn was done work, but I was mistaken and she wasn’t here until 630, no one complained and I had been able to keep it all warm. The Grands loved their Easter presents, Jonah didn’t say a lot about his hoodie, but I knew he loved it because as soon as his Dad walked in the door he jumped up to put it on to show him even pointing out the coloured buttons. Actions speak louder than words.
The only thing that upset me yesterday was as soon as he was done his dinner, without saying a word he got up from the table and went to the bedroom to watch Game of Thrones. I don’t know why he couldn’t have dessert with us or sit and visit. As I’m typing this though I realized his Father used to do the same thing, so I guess it’s how he was raised. It still ticks me off though.
Today I am going to start studying my links for the job and maybe start a couple of projects for Kaitlyns wedding. I will have a few to do. They are back out here tomorrow to work on some more too.

Mytime6630 - I hope you hear from your son soon. It is worrisome when we don’t hear from them no matter how old they are.
Maryrobinson40- I just love the two quotes you shared.
Zizzybumble - that must have been a sight to see!
Daneejela - those are some wise words. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It is one little thing at a time that seems to make a big difference.
Nlmackey98 - I have to say, like everyone else, you aren’t failing because you haven’t given up. You keep fighting not only for your weight loss but more importantly for your health and to be there for you family. I hope the new meds help you. I love your memories, I took a trip down memory lane yesterday too. Your day yesterday sounds heavenly, we’ll except for laundry that is.
Faebert - when you cut sugar out? What do you cut? Do you cut bread too or just sweet treats and sugar?
Awhit4842 - hope you had a lovely vacation.
Littleblackskirt - it’s insane the amount of stuff people collect isn’t it?
Newbie2143 - we are having a very unusual spring here, there has been no snow for a few weeks and it’s been relatively warm. We are supposed to get snow next week again and we’ve been known to get it into the end of May.
Korina75- sounds like you will have a tough day, keep battling on!
AJB1014 - so happy you found the right makeup artist. Feeling beautiful is important on your wedding day.0 -
The Grands helped build some things yesterday. This gave me a trip down memory lane thinking of my Dad.

Thank you all for being part of this JFT community. It's has been helping me make better decisions and helps me feel satisfied with my choices and progress (so slow though). Last night I went into the kitchen for a snack and realized I was just tired after the full weekend and went to bed! If I hadn't been posting my daily goals who knows what would have happened!??? That was a Non Scale Victory (NSV)!
JFT 4/22/19
Pre track day for 1600
Play tennis at 10:30
Spend time on changing bad habits by reading and reflecting
No wine or snacking after dinner

Aw @snowflake1968 I love all the pics of the grands! Re sugar, I restrict starch a bit as most of my carb intake is fruit and veggies, but I’m not banning bread. Just chocolate, sweets, cakes, biscuits (cookies) and pastries etc. Just can’t really fit them in most days and stay on track as I find I’m better with volume. Weekends I can have the odd indulgence if I’m careful in the week.
@clicketykeys - you’re probably right. There will be a way to try that coffee but I might wait a while for a special occasion - maybe breaking up for summer holidays?! Then I’d probably have the whole thing to myself with no care given! 😉
@nlmackey98 - thank you. I’m a primary school teacher and work full time. I’m also a single parent and my girls are 8 and 10. I do have some help with them in the day but life is pretty full on! I mostly get by on a combination of little sleep and stubbornness! I have worked so hard since my ex husband left - went back to uni for a second degree, career change, finding a real love of fitness. I’m determined not to go back to where I was.
@AJB1014 - how exciting! You must be delighted to have hair and makeup sorted now.
@mytime6630 - any news on your son? X4 -

5 fruit and veg I've been shopping today so it was achievable!

February challenge
March challenge
April challenge I tried to make the most of the last day of the Easter holiday with a combination of getting tasks done and relaxing activities and feel I succeeded.
I've had good Easter break but it's back to work tomorrow but only for 4 days!! My word for the year is METHODICAL and I will make it count for the next 4 days of work.
Edited to add: Sorry for any confusion, I've clicked on Sunday's post and updated it rather than today's but my goals were the same for Sunday and Monday

I wanted to go to McDonald’s and get a quarter pounder so bad this evening. I am pmsing so bad and just want to eat everything! I made myself come home and just ate cheese, crackers, and deli meat. I was still over calories but at least it wasn’t sodium and fat filled. Non scale victory...
JFT 4/22
Walk outside for 45 minutes. Earn Earth Day badge on Apple Watch (did 30 mins) ✔️
Mindful Eating, all meals and snacks✔️
One minute breathing meditation x5❌
5 fruit/veg✔️

When I want to eat something that I know I'm not really hungry for, drink a glass of water and take a 5 minute break before I make a decision❌
Positive thought-Habits have changed. Old me would have gotten fast food, twizzlers, and a bottle of wine to deal with pms and stress. New me handled her business without falling apart and ate something a bit healthier.7 -
Don't look at the frick fracking scale!
I've become a little obsessed where every time I'm in the bathroom I want to weigh in again, which honestly kind of ruins the experience for me to see how I've done at the end of the week with just one weekly weigh in.3 -
So today I had a great walk with four of my five daughters! My oldest can put down some miles y'all!
However, my 10 year old loves loves to bake and today she tried her hand at Amish White Bread. It was GREAT! So there went my calorie uptick, that and soda-which is a habit I'm working on!
I was still under thanks to exercise, but my IF had a rough time of it. So tomorrow we're going for a better IF regime and more walking! Here's to hoping I don't have a stress fracture in my foot! 3 -

- Lunch under 300 calories 😀 protein bar.
- Don't let work over whelm me, this is tough right now. It was hard to concentrate and the task took longer than it should, but I got it done.
- Go pick up my daughter's dress for semi-formal from the tailor. (Overpriced for what was done, but I can't sew. 😀 Great afternoon with my daughter.

- Dinner under 600 calories 🙃 Over, but that limit was set without planned exercise.
- Stay under 1500 net calories, 1200 isn't realistic right now without exercise. 😀 even room for a small bowl of homemade ice cream.
- Not fall asleep watching TV, go to bed in my bed. 😀
I joined a 10 day weigh on challenge to “force my head out of the sand”. A combination of that and my posted goal to go for a hike got me out of the house tonight. I was running out of daylight so I run about 3/4 of the last mile.
It feels good to see so many 😃.

Mixed weekend - whilst I was mindful and declined various food opportunities over the weekend, I also said yes to others and took more than I should have!
I'd say this is progress from a few years ago though, where I'd just have taken everything I wanted in large quantities.
Haven't weighed in this morning - don't dare really - but I will do so on Friday morning pre-Chile holiday. Will make an effort to stay in the green until then so that I don't go off on holiday already heavier than I want....
(I mean, obviously I am heavier than I want in that I'm not at my goal weight. I guess I mean, not heavier than I feel I should be given what I have weighed recently, i.e. I'd like to be a similar or lower weight to recent weigh-ins)
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Be in the green
- 4 bottles water
- No alcohol
- Exercise DVD
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- 45+ minute lunch break
- Meditate
- 3+ of French book, article, podcast, Duolingo
- Book French exam

Weight:150.8 lbs
Stay in green 😞
At least 4 8 oz. glasses of water
Bedtime: 12am 🙂
Had been looking for a new dr. For a good while & finally had an appointment scheduled for this morning. It Went really well. I’m down 7 lbs from the weight I was at on feb. 28th. Whew! And, I really like the dr that I scheduled with.
I brought my blood results from 2/28th & I also brought the previous couple years of blood lab results. He actually looked at & told me that my cholesterol is not high & not to start on med for it! (My other dr’s office had called in to my pharmacy). He said to come back in in 6 months & gave me 6 months of refills. My other dr never would give me 6 months of refills! So, I did relax a little with the food today & added a large salad to my dinner that put me over in calories. But I will get back to dieting as I still need & want to lose. And I will be getting that earlier bedtime down & add in exercise. I’m not giving up on those goals yet.
