Do not disappoint myself, be conscious of my choices
I had a very active day yesterday, I stained my door, cleaned the car, did laundry, helped move wood and clean up the yard then I helped Brodey make 21 trays for the wedding. I texted Kaitlyn and asked her if she wanted to come out for supper when she got done work and we ended up working on trays until 1015 last night. She got home and sent me a picture of what the centrepieces will look like. Brodey booked Rodger's Mom's tickets to come for the wedding yesterday too. I am calling her in a bit to let her know.
Today I have to finish stuff for the bachelorette party and I need to clean the house. All of the in and out this weekend has made it quite messy.
Tomorrow I am spending the whole day with Kaitlyn, we have a list of places to go and what needs to be done. As of today it is 40 days to the wedding.

Our outing yesterday was going to the documentary The Biggest Little Farm. The theater had the fancy recliner seats so it worked out comfort wise but I was exhausted afterwards nevertheless. Such an interesting story of Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark California https://www.apricotlanefarms.com/ and the journey to build up a biodiversity sustainable farm. Check the website out - for those who have little kids lots of fun shorts on the various animals on the farm.

Read, relax and recover3 -
@lafayettenana - I think your goals are totally within reason and since you laid out a plan to achieve them you'll get there. I am not meeting my goals right now, so I need to step up my game and this group helps me do that so much!
@ZizzyBumble - I thought at B and B's the breakfast menu was only a couple of options. That's impressive that you are making 6 different things for your guests. How many guests can you have at one time?
@daneejela - You are so positive! I agree 100% how strong the women are on here and it is inspiring for me to see. The last time I lost a significant amount of weight was in 2012, I gained it all back during my Dad's illness and it took me 5 years to start doing something about it again. I think if it wasn't for this group my job loss this winter would have had me giving up again. I am maintaining the loss, I just need to start the actual losing part again as I'm still about 30 pounds from my goal.
@ginnytez - You are doing well having 78 days in the green. Maybe I should start counting that streak to see how I do. I know that there is no sense until after the wedding though as I have too much coming up.
@wannabeskinnycat - Children can be exhausting when you're not used to them can't they?
@korina75 - I took up walking last year at age 49 and love it, I have missed a lot since we are finally just getting spring now, but I can hopefully make up for it in the next few days.
@maryrobinson40 - LOL tell me, just how hot is it? I literally laughed out loud at that! It was a beautiful day here yesterday and the day before, I'm hoping for the same for days to come now.
@aubyshortcake - You went over and you didn't workout, but you did 3X the amount of walking you intended so don't beat yourself up too hard. My doctor told me it is impossible for women to lose during that time.
@Faebert - Is this the last break before summer break?
@MLHC1 - 11lbs in 30 days is awesome! You've been working hard to do that.
@purwonder - 2lbs a week is incredible. I haven't been able to do that even once in over a year.

Hi girls!
I feel like it's kind of a mixed bag right now. A lot of people struggling but also a lot of people doing well. But I think that's what it's like with life.
I've spent most of this weekend reading. I tend to lean toward escapism when I'm feeling down. Matt plays video games and I read. We're pretty content as long as we are together while we're doing it. Or at least as content as we can be.
I met this really interesting guy at work on Friday and we started talking about a field of work that he was interested in getting into. It's called Behavioral Analysis. Pretty much is behavior modification for youth with special needs. I did some research and it looks like I could break into the field pretty easily. I would need to take 40hrs worth on schooling and pass a board certification exam. But apparently, the industry is so starved for people that it isn't too hard to get a foot in the door. Plus, starting wage is between $20-$25 an hour! I could easily afford to move to the front house if I could make that. So that is something I am going to look into. I found a few online courses that would cost under $100 for the whole 40hrs. I talked to Matt about it and he was okay with it. I want to talk to D about it first and get her opinion. I see her tomorrow.
I'm also probably going to take most of this upcoming week off. There doesn't seem to be any jobs available at my school of choice except for Tuesday. So I may just the rest of those days and the weekend to pound these courses out and get them done. We'll see. So this may be that awesome thing at the top of the mountain after we get out of this damn valley.
I don't think I am going to make goals for today. I already know that I screwed up the whole under calorie thing. Lol. I mindlessly ate a bunch of cookies so I am probably already over my calorie limit.6 -

Looking forward to seeing a good friend tomorrow after work. She’s just got back from 2 weeks in Mexico so lots to talk about.
@Snowflake1968 - phewww I see the little ones often but I think I forgot just how much energy they have. My nephew bounces off the walls and my niece doesn’t stop talking. I think my head got full
40 days to go to the wedding! I’m sure you’ll think of absolutely everything. It can be so stressful so please make sure you fit you time in too. 3 -
@Snowflake1968 we have 3 rooms for 6 guests but prefer to limit it to 4 guests This morning was pretty hectic with 6. We offer quite a few choices and like to showcase the local suppliers. I have to be careful not to eat everything that has not been chosen by guests - I so hate waste! It's lovely that guests come to Skye for the top notch places to eat dinner but a bit daunting when I serve breakfast the next day!

Hi everyone, I'm back! Still have several 100 posts to read to catch up but you have been in my mind and heart. (((HUGS))) So many struggles, wish I could reply to you all. @PackerFanInGB @bcTRAI @maryrobinson @HEGoddard0928 @bookmeister86 @ginnytez @MLHC1 @Faebert @clicketykeys @nlmackey98 @AJB1014 @ZizzyBumble especially @mytime6630 and all the others I may have accidentally omitted, I've missed you and want to hug each and every one!
I haven't posted daily for most of May. Met my work deadline of May 23, even with a 2-day conference thrown in last minute. That time pressure kept me from posting at work, and then I've just had so much going on in the evening and weekends. Mostly optional, some social, but I didn't turn down anything.
This has been a 4 day holiday weekend for me and busy. Fri. was catching up yardwork and household chores, Sat. was the first farmers market of the season, so I bought eight different herbs and planted them in individual planters for the patio, yesterday we attended a graduation party for my youngest niece (with 3 hours car time).
Today has been restful, and I walked dog 4.23 miles in the morning. Right now it's raining, just what the area farmers do not need; spring planting has been a mess, and some farmers will likely need their crop insurance money. I'm constantly draining water from our two rain barrels that have not been empty since the first week we set them up this spring. I presently have 24 gallons of rain water in jugs for watering house plants, planters and refilling birdbaths.
Tomorrow a.m. I have semi-annual appt. with my nurse practioner before going to work, so I plan to post my JFT goals once I get to work. Prelogging and sticking with the plan has not been happening. My weight has been inching up, even though I'm logging, but not sure how accurately some days. I'll find and post my weekly weigh-in because I need the accountability. Glad to be back!7 -
Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my MFP weigh-in logging day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Back on the horse: Goals for Sunday
1. Log everything ✅
2. Stay in green zone ✅
3. Play safe with lunch at a family gathering ❌
4. Walk for 45 minutes in the afternoon ❌
5. Plan Monday’s meals ✅
So my rellies decided to make my favourite caramel choc slice. Wow it’s like a drug. I think I ate about 12 pieces. I pulled back and went for a long uphill walk and only had a bowl of soup.
My daughter is having a baby in far North Queensland, Cairns. I’m flying there today to help out. I plan on staying on track for the trip.
1. Log everything
2. Stay in green
3. Walk, walk, walk
4. Shop for healthy foods
I saw pictures of me from behind taken at the family gathering. I am amazed how I have body dismorphia . I think I look okay, but seriously, how can anyone look okay when I know I am 20kgs over weight🤔 Well the pictures tell the real story don’t they? I’m feeling like I have finally got serious about this fat loss. I feel like I have a different attitude.
Fingers crossed
Have a great day Ladies 😊5 -

Yet again I ate way too much, and for the first time ever I skipped my workout for no reason other than I just didn't wanna. It's crazy how much hormones can affect things.
@korina75 thank you so much! I'm really excited and nervous.

I'm probably not going to have much time for posting over the next 12 days - lots of work still to do for my French exam! I'm going to keeping posting goals, and reporting back on them, but I may not write much detail around them and probably won't have time to comment on others' posts either. I will be thinking of you all though and look forward to catching up again when I'm freeeeeeee!

Good luck with the revision @bookmeister86!
I’m in a bit of a funk this morning. Meant to go for a long run and didn’t end up going. No bad thing to take a rest day but it wasn’t planned. Hopefully I’ll feel more motivated tomorrow. The good news is I’ve finished my reports with the rest of the week now clear. Some admin done this morning and maybe I’ll burn some calories with a garden tidy this afternoon.
Monday goals recap:
- morning workout ✅
- put away laundry ✅
- reports ✅ finished them - whoop!
- quality time with the kids ✅ went to the cinema and saw Aladdin!

Have a good day everyone x2 -
Good morning my friends!
Back to the grind, I guess. I love holiday weekends but I also hate them because it makes it that much harder to get back into the swing of work. I hope everyone is doing well this morning. I'm in a pretty good frame of mind at the moment but it is also only 6 am. Lol.
I'm spending some time over D's house this afternoon and depending on what time I get out of work I may stop by the gym before I go. I'll bring my gym clothes with me just in case. I went for a walk around a local neighborhood with my parent's dog, Bay, yesterday. It was really nice. I worked up a good sweat but mainly because it was really hot out. Lol. Way hotter than it should be here at the end of May. I'm giving more and more credence to Matt's idea that someone in the world has a weather machine and they obviously don't like us.
I haven't done a positive thought most of the month but I think it is something that I need to start doing again. So here is todays: This morning I was able to get up when I wanted to without hitting the snooze button AND I didn't go back to sleep after I took my shower.
I think that those are pretty good positives because they are usually things I have a lot of trouble with.
Okay so onto goals!
JFT, 5/28/19
1. Log all my food(estimate the best I can at D's house)
2. If I leave early from work GO TO THE GYM

6. Figure out dinner for Matt
7. FINISH THE DISHES!!!! THERE ARE ONLY A FEW LEFT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!(Don't you love my little pep talk?)
8. Matt Quality Time
9. Bed before 10:30
Okay got to run! Have a great day everyone!4 -

JFT 5/27 Recap:
Eat mindfully within calories
Over by a lot but it was mostly mindful
90 minutes exercise 60 minutes Which isn't bad but did not meet my goal
Healthy Choices 5 veg/2 fruit
Drink lots of water Drank wine instead! 
Keep sodium low today Went out to lunch and had a big ole burger and fries
Max out points on apple watch challenge
I did not keep on track yesterday at all! I have my period and it's a doozy. I have been cranky and in pain for the last 3 days basically. Yesterday was really bad for pain and then by the evening I was just exhausted from it. It's still awful today. Plus my weight has crept up all week. I think I'm going to just give myself a day off from everything today and just roll with whatever comes my way.
JFT 5/28
Go for a walk
Keep sodium to a minimum
drink lots of water
rest
make an obgyn appt
Lots of fruit & veggies
Give yourself a break!
Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 193.4
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: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia???
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday.
WFTY: Climbing.
Positive thought: I can make it.

Ah ok, yes I think this year has been breaking records. It's a bit scary! I live in Southwest Florida and I think we've hit 95 a couple times in the past week! 😰2 -
Good morning all! Yesterday my mom and I looked at four houses and I spoke with two mortgage brokers. This has all been really exciting but also a little scary and I think on top of the TOM cravings I'm also stress eating because of it!
There is one house I really really love, I want to show my husband later this week and hopefully he will like it as much as I do. He had to work long hours all weekend and yesterday and he is exhausted so I haven't wanted to really bother him with it just yet.
Today I go back to work so I hope.. No..I WILL be staying within my goals. It always helps being away from the house and the snacks that I buy too many of 😆. At least I did manage to get my workout in, even if I ate way too much.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Yesterday was a complete rest day for me and now I am ready for getting out of the house. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery. Maybe I'll drive myself to the grocery store! This coming weekend I am getting together with a group of close friends (8 of us) for our annual Chick Weekend. We've been getting together for 21 years. It all started when 2 of them turned 50 and now people are turning 70. How the heck did THAT happen???? This will be a melancholy year as one of us succumbed to cancer. We're all eager to be together. My husband will drive me the 4 1/2 hours to the rental house and then spend the weekend with a close friend in Santa Barbara.
Being at home and feeling better has lead to more day time snacking - I was about 200 in the red yesterday. Time to get more active.
JFT 5/28/19
Pretrack to 1500-1600 calories
Get 4000 steps in and PT exercises X2
Do some chores - clean off patio furniture, grocery shop
No snacking or wine after dinner.
Have a good week everyone.

I checked out this weekend. Had planned meals, tossed them to the wind Saturday at work for donuts and pizza. Had plans to order a healthy meal, got mcdonalds on the way home instead. Attempted to portion out correct amount of brownie serving, ate half the batch. Friday was great though, the dress fit - and I ordered a Cesar salad with grilled salmon. Fortunately I got my steps in at work on Saturday and did lots of gardening Sun/Mon so atleast I kept moving. I am SO pooped today though.

Had a good day yesterday and got a lot accomplished for the bachelorette. Today I am going out with Kaitlyn for the day. We have about 8 stops to make not including her nail appointment with Jasmyne. It will be a long day and we'll probably eat out somewhere along the line.
Today is two weeks from the interview and I was told I would hear in two weeks. I think if I don't hear today, I'll contact Sarah tomorrow and ask her if a decision has been made.

@HEGoddard0928 - That sounds like an interesting course to take. Maybe taking on a new challenge in the course will help with your depression, it's exciting learning new things and gives hope. How is Matt feeling? The day after a long weekend always suck, but you have a good attitude about it this morning.
@cschmitz110515 - It's great to see you back. It must be nice to have such a busy time over. That fawn is so cute, I wonder where it's Mama was.
@jacqui2494 - I think we all have those body image issues in some form or other. When I was thin I thought I was bigger looking, now that I'm bigger I think I look ok. I guess there is no pleasing me.
@ginnytez - My husband wouldn't know my weight either, he knows I've been losing but he has no idea how big I was to start with.
@maryrobinson40 - I think NC is one of my favourite states. I used to go with my husband on the truck and he drove a lot on the Eastern Seaboard. Another favourite of mine is Virginia and New Mexico. Texas wasn't what I had imagined it to be in my mind so it was a letdown.
@bookmeister86 - Good luck studying for your exams. That will be nice to have behind you.
@Faebert - Maybe having the admin work done and off your plate will give you more time for yourself the rest of the week so will pay off in the long run.
@korina75 - Hugs, I hope your back to yourself soon
@clicketykeys - I think that is the shortest goal list I've ever seen you write. I didn't look at the spoiler's just the main one though so I could be way off.
@aubyshortcake - It sure is exciting looking, hopefully you get just the perfect house for you.
@lafayettenana - What a wonderful thing to do for 21 years, sorry you lost one that must be hard. I miss my girlfriends. I only have a 37 day wait though and my best friend will be here for the wedding. She is going to be here a couple of days after my MIL leaves so we'll have some alone time.
Well I should go iron my new shirt and pants, flatten my hair and get dressed for my day with Kaitlyn. She is supposed to be here in about an hour to get me.5 -
