Love this LOL!!! Mary, I want that squeeze to!!2 -
First day in what seems like forever that I haven't eaten a trunk full of junk by noon, just to go home and repeat the behavior. My eyes are open and I'm not zoning out every few minutes. It feels good to be human and to be logging again. Not quite ready to step on the scale, but I'm going in the right direction.5

@Snowflake1968 I totally agree with @ginnytez. I believe also that life works out as it should. I have not always understood at the time why something is happening, but usually when I look back, I think to myself "It's a good thing that I didn't <fill in blank> because then I wouldn't have gotten to <fill in blank>. You'll get the perfect job for you after the wedding settles down. Have a GREAT weekend! Can't wait to hear about it.
@MaryRobinson40 Look at you! You look fabulous in your pink dress! (I happen to think you are beautiful in your "before" pic also...)
@bookmeister86 Have a wonderful 3-day weekend! I'm really counting down the hours at work today waiting to start mine.
@whit4842 Do you live in the band (in the US) that is getting all the tornado activity this week? There have been some really nasty weather this past week! My mom has luckily not had tornadoes near them, but they've been in the surrounding counties. Don't beat yourself up over having pizza when you electricity is out! Heck, I have pizza when my electricity is ON! LOL~ Gotta live once in a while, right?
@aubyshortcake CONGRATULATIONS on the accepted offer!!! I'm so excited for you!
@NotWhoIUsedToBe What a great attitude you have! Welcome! I deal with anxiety also, as well as a few others on this thread, and it certainly can be a struggle. I hope you have a beautiful brand new day!
@purwonder Beautiful words to the Lord. So true. We are truly blessed every day we have on this earth. Have a great day!
@Faebert Sorry to hear about the swollen knees! Do you think you need to be seen by a doctor? Could you have a meniscus tear?
Also, I am totally on board with June being the "Good, Bad & Ugly" journaling challenge. I have chosen that to be my challenge for the month in another group I belong to where we pick monthly goals. I think this one single thing can be the make it or break it for me losing weight, personally.
@tristamtrent Welcome back! It's so good to see you. I'm glad you are going to slow down and take care of yourself. I've been on that crazy rollercoaster of overwork and it sucks the life out of a person! xoxo
@AJB1014 "2. DRINK SOME FRIGGIN WATER
Oh my lanta wtf" Made me almost spit my coffee out at work when I read this! hahaha! That's the thought that goes through my head every day! 
In regard to your seasons turning from comfort and joy to turmoil and stress, I'm so sorry to hear about this! Talk about a double whammy...all those things you mention are stressful. I'm sending you cyber hugs. I hope you can feel them!
@cschmitz110515 How frustrating! The same type of thing happened in my last job before I finally just left. The new manager had no repect for the fact I'd been there 25 years and pretty much knew what there was to know about that job. She came in like hell on wheels telling everyone to do things differently and if they didn't like it they could find a different job. Well, I did find a different job. And after losing 12 people on a 15 person team, leadership finally opened their eyes and let her go. I'm glad I am where I am, so she did do me a favor in a roundabout way, but it sure was frustrating! TGIF! Have fun at the Farmer's Market bright and early tomorrow!
P.S. If I had a way to get medical insurance, I'd retire TODAY! LOL
@mytime6630 I agree with you about trying to log on everyday. I found for myself that if I read all the posts before writing my JFT goals, I didn't have time to make goals. But I felt guilty coming on and writing my goals without reading. I think we are too hard on ourselves! It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I'm going to start writing my goals first and then going back and reading later if I have time. If I start feeling like I'm failing, I'll stop entirely and that would be terrible because I would miss my JFT family! LOL!

Hey all! I woke up today feeling better than I have in a few weeks. My headache has calmed a bit and is not overwhelming anymore so that's pretty awesome. I'm very hopeful that this weekend will be better than last weekend (which wouldn't take much if I'm being honest...)
My husband won't be home tonight when I get there, as he will be helping his son pour 2 cement slabs. We're hoping it doesn't start raining before they get it done. We have some storms coming in around 4 pm he said. I'm looking forward to going home to an empty house today. It's far and few between that I have the house to myself these days, and as much as I love my family, I really do crave alone time. I'm also the only one on my team who is working today, so it is quiet here also which is nice. I used to be such an extrovert...I scored way high on the personality scales as being extroverted. I think as I've gotten older that I'm more on the introverted side. I used to be excited to go out on Friday nights. Now I'm hoping the house will be empty for a bit when I get there so I can have some peace and quiet. It's official...I'm old and boring.

April: 5 Somethings during each break
May: Write one positive thought each day
June: Journal every bite - Good, Bad & Ugly (And my personal challenge -- who wants to join me in this challenge also @Bex???? --- is to get on here EVERY day... even if it is just to post ONE goal .. like water, or 2 veggies, etc. Sometimes the amount of posts can get overwhelming... so no need to always respond. Just come on and say how you are doing.

It took more time for me to do, but I logged all my food on here, as well as the weight watcher site. Its a good thing for me to do I think , as I can see how many calories I am actually eating. This week I am making the commitment to be as accurate as I can. When I did this, I was losing sometimes 3# a week ... I need to get back to that.
With WW, you can eat, without even tracking, any chicken breast, all fruits, all veggies, kidney beans, and hard boiled eggs. Their thinking is that if you eat these things, and keep yourself from getting hungry, you won't give into cookies, ice cream ets (which is what I did last week). I am tracking them though, because they are still calories.
So I have 2 more months of WW (they gave me a free month when I cancelled), but I love all you guys, so will work hard at my challenge to get on here everyday. Hoping that way I won't get SO far behind on all the posts!
So today, even though I forgot to set my goals, I
1. logged all my food
2. drank 5 c water so far ... I can easily do 3 more:)
3. got on here ... june challenge:)
4. went to the gym:)
5. mowed the grass:)
6. helped hubby build 4 products to ship next week
7. And planning on going out for a walk yet tonite:)
SO goals tomorrow
1. go to the gym
2. concentrate on water
3. eat a light lunch, since going to a wedding
4. mindful eating at wedding reception ... drink only 1 glass of wine
5. get on here .. be accountable3 -

I am SO glad you are feeling better! With all that you have been through, you should be very proud of yourself! To only gain .6 in 6 weeks is awesome job at maintaining!
I am like you ... I love the quiet time alone. As much as I love hubby, we are together 24/7. There is nothing nicer than having the peace and quiet to do whatever you want! I hope you enjoy your evening!
Tomorrow nite we have a wedding, but I am hoping to get home early enough to watch the Stanley Cup games! This is the first time in 50 years that the STL Blues are in it! Its pretty exciting!3 -
How hard is it to stay on track when you aren’t in your own home? Usually a day at home with a walk I would do well over 10,000 steps with housework and exercise. I hardly get in 7,000 here.
1. Get in over 10,000 steps
2. Only eat when genuinely hungry
3. Do some housework to keep busy3 -

Log Accurately I somewhat guessed on pizza for dinner, but I think I am close (but gave it my best try)
30 minutes intentional walking
Enjoy shopping with SIL
Shopping today was fun. Bought a couple of more things than I should have, Got three new pair of pants for work (11 pounds or so can make clothes too lose). Replaced with a size 6 (it's the stretchy material). Went down a size in the Columbia shorts I like (now wear the 10-difference in manufacturers), a couple of cute Loft blouses (a small), and some good things on clearance at Bass Outlet (those were mediums). Moral of the shopping is--different brands fit different, but in each of them, I am down a size! Don't let the label drive you crazy! SIL is very funny. Luckily, her English is pretty good, and I just google translations on some things.

Had a decent day, though could have been better. Was supposed to revise French all day but had an attack of the blues in the morning - I sometimes get this when I am at home by myself - and didn't do as much as I planned. However, I did lots in the afternoon and the evening so all was not lost! I am feeling more motivated and happy today so am going to crack on shortly.
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan

* normally we would do this together - I'm not a complete parasite - but on this occasion he is doing it as we're cleaning because of a visit by HIS parents, I'm busy revising for an exam in HIS language, and it's mainly HIS mess. Lol.
Weekly calorie balance: 340 in red (not counting Mon)
I am up for the June challenge of logging every day. I also end up giving up a little bit when I've gone off track so it will be good for me. I'm also going to have a personal challenge which is to meditate every day. I think meditation is really good for me but I struggle to fit it in. I don't treat it as a priority. If I do it every day for 30 days maybe it'll become a habit. (And if it doesn't, I might cancel my annual subscription which is up for renewal in July!?)4 -
Okay so didnt realise it was June today LOL!
SO my one and only goal is to drink 5 cups of water.
Its 12:16 and ive had.. 1.
Got a headache today and feeling low (probs because of the headsche)
Casey is currently napping.
Just wish everyone would stop sitting on me today..4 -
I went off plan last night. Too much wine, pizza, and jalepeno poppers. I have just been completely slammed lately and more than a little overwhelmed. Yesterday I just could not anymore and the end result was overindulgence. I forgive myself and am moving forward. Today is a new day and I don't like the feeling I have today (a bit hungover and so tired). And I didn't set any goals for myself for the first day in quite awhile.
JFT 6/1
Set realistic goal weight for end of June
30 minutes of exercise-whatever I feel like doing
Make Healthy choices today
Meditate 5 minutes
Drink water today-at least 24 ounces
Hope everyone has a peaceful and productive Saturday.

Not a great day for me yesterday. Still pretty sore and I lost my grandmother’s wedding ring when I took it off making cookies with the little one. Have torn the place apart but I can’t find it. On a positive note I did loads of work clearing out and organising the kids’ closets so the day wasn’t a complete bust.
Today I am finishing cleaning and organising then going to head to the bf and hopefully enjoy the sunshine. V motivated to stick to the June challenge as I definitely don’t have any wriggle room while I’m unable to exercise.
Friday goals recap:
- rest day (again! Sigh...) ✅
- Pick up parcel at Post Office ✅
- Drop P to play date ✅
- Clearout kids’ clothes and tidy wardrobes/chest of drawers ✅
- Clearout my clothes and storage ✅
- Quality time with L (she’s chosen cookie baking - temptation central) ✅ but oh the cookies 😩
- Pick up P at 3:30✅
- Take clothes to recycle centre if time allows❎
- Tanning?❎
- Bed by 10❎
Saturday goals:
- finish clearout ✅
- Pack car for stuff to recycling ✅
- Check bins again and behind fridge and radiator for ring ✅ but no luck 😢

- kids ready to go their dad done
- Wrap present for L bday party ✅

Happy weekend everyone x3 -
JFT Saturday
1. >5k steps by 2 PM; >10k steps by 7 PM
2. No extra snacks beyond what's packed! NO!
3. Read articles & take notes.
4. Call Z, parents, and/or B during breaks.
Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 193.8
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).
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. NOTE: ATTEND POST FLEX DAY RATHER THAN PRE FLEX DAY. Upload summer project checklist July 1.
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. Put jewelry away.
WFTY: Climbing.
Positive thought: First day working at the amusement park this season! Just checked the schedule, and they're only open until 10-8, not 10-10, so I don't start off with a 12-hr day. WHEW! 3 -
My view this morning. There is a lake there, in the mist. Slightly hungover, very dehydrated. I have coffee on and everyone else is still sleeping. This place is beautiful and I think I’ll need to come here again with hubby at some point. Kaitlyn was so happy last night and Raquel did a beautiful job of putting everything we made out. Just a wonderful time.9 -
@bookmeister86 your French tasks are really inspiring. I am kind of learning French on my own, just for fun, and every time when I see your JFTs filled with French I think - ah, if she does this much, I can give it at least few mins in a day So, if I ever reach any noticeable level in French - it's thanks to you!
Regarding feeling overwhelmed sometimes, I think its quite normal, since your tempo is really bad a**. I've read some people even reported that with a pause in learning they advanced in the target language...like neurons links somehow optimize in the rest period. I am not sure if it's a truth or an urban myth, but sounds good
@Bex953172 When my sister and I feel annoyed or overwhelmed by our families we "plan" a one way trip to Australia. We would stay there, enjoy beaches and waves and we wouldn't tell anyone where we are. Of course, it's an imaginary journey, but sometimes it helps anyway You are free to come with us!

Why is it so hard to get back into the swing of things? I mean seriously, I feel so much better physically & emotionally when I’m on plan. Why in the world would I not go back there. I know how to do it, but I just don’t do it. Sigh...
Wish me luck on the cake!4 -
Still coming on daily, just dealing w/stress & drama at home, which I hate, there's no peace at all, so I eat. But that only hurts me more, so I've got to stop. There are so many reasons I need to lose weight, and want to feel better, and energetic.

Hi all! I kind of let the day get away from me. I slept in because I haven't been getting much sleep this past week and then I had to run errands, since I've gotten back home I've been sitting on the back patio all day like a sloth!
I really need to make sure I get my workout in today, along with my minimum of five thousand steps!
I hope everyone has a nice weekend. 💖💖

Typing from mobile, so I apologize for more typos than usual
I indulged with food today, but I have no regrets I feel so grateful and blessed at the moment..we had nice family dinner. There are some difficult relashionships within my closest family with long history of mutual resentment. Yet my husband somehow manages to gather them all at the table together laughing and chating. He has very strong personality, but somehow everyone feels secure and relaxed when he is there. It amazes me everytime.
I just felt the need to share that..specially since it's so easy to focus on those small, stupid everydays' annoying things.
Tomorow I plan to get back on track with food.
Hugs to you all, I hope you are having a nice weekend.6
