Good morning everyone
I did not do well at the weekend. My family (and their friend) arrived unexpectedly last evening to include me in their chinese takeaway. In the past I would try to eat it all (because it's paid for you know!), now I'm finding it easier to say I've had enough and only have half. It was the first time I've have chinese food since I got food poisoning last summer.
My friend brought me a lovely hand made cake, as a thank you for looking after her dog all day while she was away. Probably has a million calories in it, but I will be eating some of it. The benefit of having a son at home is it will soon disappear.

New to this group. I have been in maintenance (and struggling with this transition) for 3 months. I am where I want to be in terms of weight, but not consistency. Not happy with the undisciplined eating, gain a few pounds, back to "diet" mode, lose the pounds, a d repeat cycle.
I am just having problems staying focused ... I don't seem to have a longterm goal that is sufficiently motivating ("just maintain") is not doing it for me. Running across this thread, it struck me that the 'just for today" mindset is exactly what i need.
4/29
1. Ride
2. De-corgi my first floor (swifter up the dog hair)
3. Call for appt to change oil on van
4. Call for vet appt for dog
5. Health club for strength training

Same goals for today...
Positive thought: there are so many blessings in my life, I’m just grateful for all the wonderful people and experiences I have in my life.
- Another 30K step day. That makes back to back days at 13+ mile days, yea me!
- Eating was horrible the whole weekend. When I decide I can let down my guard, I slide down the slope. I need defined breaks, "one small snack", "one cheese stick", etc. If not the next thing I know I've eaten 3/4 of a funnel cake and a big bowl of ice cream, followed by a high cal dinner and a couple of tall beers. Not surprisingly, my weight was up almost 5 pounds today. I know its a false high, but I still hate seeing it. On the up side it will look like losses the next few days.
- Started today like I finished the weekend, mindlessly trying to fill some void. I got into the candy. Sigh, but I have time today to work that in and still end up green.
JFT Monday
- Work by 8:00 More like 8:45. Just couldn't mentally get up this morning.
- Check in on MFP
- Not be disappointed in myself. Tough one, but so far so good.
- Work on work stuff... Been avoiding one project
- Lunch <300 cal
- Pick up dogs from the kennel
- Pick up daughter from talent show tryouts
- Go for a walk/run to make up for morning candy snafu.
- Dinner within calorie goal
- No treats after dinner
- Early to bed
Positive thought for the day: One day, or one weekend doesn't define me. How I deal with the reality of the situation shows my character.

I am hoping my cheque for the election comes in today so that I can go get some groceries. I also want to pick up one or two more things for my Mom to send to her.
Rodger is home sick today, he must be feeling a little better because he’s started smoking again. He only had one cigarette from Friday night until this morning.
I have one more book to read of the three I received from Sarah. I then want to study some other things she specifically mentioned in the email. I need to reread the email to remember what they were.
Last night I danced to American Idol instead of just walking. As the judges were providing their feedback I did squats. I hope there are more musical type shows on this summer, this is a good workout for me. The first 40 minutes of the show or so is what I did, not the whole 2 hours!
Have a great day everyone

Daneejela - haven’t listed to the link yet, but so agree with your written words. Our self talk can be so encouraging or so detrimental, not just for weight loss.
Aubyshortcake - I hope you enjoyed driving on your new rims and tires.
Hegoddard0928 - I just started in the last year reading any books that weren’t fiction. I am surprised to find that I’m enjoying them.
Maryrobinson40- my husband swears to me that it doesn’t change after you click. I argue with him about this all the time. It made me happy to see that happens to others too.
Wannabeskinnycat- truer words were never spoken. It’s that whole think “I wish I was as fat now as I thought I was the first time I though about losing weight”.
Mytime6630 - it’s so nice to see you have a wonderful time! I’m looking forward to seeing my lifelong friend in a few weeks at the wedding. We met on the first day of school grade 2.
Elbee1 - 8 glasses of water!!!! Congratulations! Celebrate with a glass of water!
Faebert - look at all of the check marks! Have a great day.
Kathryn1391 - when is your wedding
Littleblackskirt- it’s so great to have family congregate isn’t it? I miss it since I moved, it’s smaller so they aren’t all here together as often.
Jan110144 - this thread has been the best thing I could have done for myself.
Mirihawk - you already have one smile to start the day, you can do it on all of them.
Azulvioleta6 - you are doing really well!
Nlmackey98- wow on the walking! Were you running around the lake to keep your daughter in site? You are doing well, keep it up.

A great weekend with friends, family, gardening, cooking and spending time with our grandchildren. It's amazing how planning makes such a big impact on outcome. Last year I was in Maintenance mode but got bored with tracking and a little resentful at how hard it is to Maintain weight loss. Well we know how that story ended!
JFT 4/29/19
Pre-track for the day 1600 calories
Get 30 minutes of activity in - not sure if it's the gym or a short walk
Enjoy lunch with my mom and daughter (early Mother's Day because she'll be gone)
Moderation at book club dinner
I was in the green by about 600 calories this weekend and most of it was due to lots of colorful and interesting vegetables and salads. here's the Anti pasta tray I made both Saturday and Sunday

End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 190
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. I'm super proud of myself for getting 7 miles in on Sunday. I'm still REALLY slow.
Positive thought: Starting weight lifting today!
