    I'm here, 116 posts behind.

    JFT: Try to mentally work out all the issues! I'm living in a house that isn't complete, my kids are out of control and my marriage counselor told me I have two options: continue to live in misery with intermittent moments of happiness bc my husband is unwilling to work on things or concede to separation. Needless to say, I'm broken emotionally and cannot physically pull myself up. I'm going to need some time to just aquire strength again.

    ❤ Miss you gals, stay strong!!

    Oh sweetie, how horrible for you! I don't really know what to say, but I want to give you a massive hug. Keeping you and the entire family in my prayers! <3

    Wednesday June 11

    Slept late as the phone rang twice in the middle of the night (no response when I answered it and not a number I know). Today I need to plan, shop for and cook a meal for my next door neighbours that will hopefully keep me in the green, no ideas at the moment and they do have preference for a sweet dessert!

    Log accurately ;) tried my best but did not use the recipe builder so had to make a guess
    Try to stay in the green :) Good food choice of home made low fat mousakka, courgettes and summer pudding. It was the wine that put me over by a bit but not too much! :D
    5 fruit and veg :)
    Fitbit excercise goals :)
    Jan challenge :)
    Feb challenge >:)
    Mar challenge :)
    Apr challenge :)

    @nlmackey98 Was just thinking of your post yesterday about your cycling! You say you cant do it like you did before but 22.5 miles is damn good!
    Soooo, maybe instead of thinking what youre not achieving (and comparing to what you could do in the past) turn it into a goal! Work towards that stamina and distance again!

    Theres a work out video i do, its 40 mins long. I have never completed it.
    Its has cardio then strength training, then cardio again, then strength, cardio, strength.

    First time i did it, i lasted about 10 mins, so first lot of cardio and strength. By thd next week i did cardio strength cardio, the week after that i did the first two sets but lots of rest in the second strength. The next time i didnt get any further but didnt rest as much.
    I got better each time, then i got pregnant and when i tried again. I was right back to square one! Pretty annoying but im working hard to try get to that point again, i know i can do it because ive done it before. Im just gonna have to keep at it!

    You were only 8 miles off your previous distance, and you only stopped to get back for dinner! So you can get back to how you were before! Keep at it!!


    Also, how was your appt? Xxx

    Well, I gave in last night and had two bowls of cereal. But I think I actually was hungry. I did over two hours of exercise yesterday and didn't eat enough in the beginning of the day so by the end of the day I couldn't stop thinking about food. Lesson learned! Oh well! Onward!

    JFT 6/13

    30 minutes yoga/strength training
    Drink water
    No alcohol (4 day weekend starts today for husband and he is a trigger)
    Stay within calories
    All meals at home

    Four day weekend for kids and husband start today. I have work to do still (realtor life) but not a whole lot until Saturday so I know it's going to be tempting to sit and have a drink with him later. I really want to stay within my calories though! I haven't lost any weight this week and in fact have gone up by almost a lb but I'm not sure why. I've been mostly staying within calories or under, even last night after eating was only over by a couple. I've been exercising every day and drinking lots of water. I am wondering if it's time to get a food scale, maybe my logging isn't as accurate as it should be? Going to think on that and possibly order one. Anyone have any experience using one? I usually use measuring cups for food, but I do sometimes guesstimate. I have a goal to get out of the 140's by the end of June and I'm so close but this week the scale is going in the wrong direction!

    @Bex953172 That is sooo true! One of the most inspiring things I heard while starting my journey back to health was just do something. Everything counts and you can build up over time. So even if you just walk places at a quicker pace or run up the stairs, eventually you will get there and your goals will morph. I started by going to the gym and telling myself I would do 10 minutes, then 20 at least a few times a week and that was only in January and now I am going almost every day or doing something every day for at least 30 and I look forward to it! If you had told me that in January I would never have believed you.

    @nlmackey98 You'll get there. If you can already do it it's not a goal! And try not to compare yourself to anyone, even former you. Life changes, things happen, and even though it's frustrating (my weight right now which is 25 lbs less than when I started losing weight would have been horrifying to 35 year old me). If you get caught up in that thinking then you'll never feel the price and accomplishment of today's you hitting goals. Hugs!

    @daubna08 Thank you! I think I actually was just hungry. I did a huge workout in the morning and didn't eat enough to fuel it. Lesson learned!

    @korina75 I know how that goes! I make that same mistake too often. Always think I’ll be fine and then regretting it at the gym. Have a strong day! 🤗

    Scale goals

    January 2019: 186.0
    February 2019: 187.0
    Today: 191.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut
    1. 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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Align assessments with OW units.
    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.

    Wow I have been AWOL all week, maybe more. Just feeling lucky to have maintained. Resting my big toes is hard—I have not been doing other forms of exercise to compensate, instead just sleeping too much and up to a full choc bar a day in one sitting regardless of lack of pleasure...
    Goals:
    Log food and post on message board.
    Breathe more deeply and mindfully esp when anxiety creeps in about “have to’s”, “should’s” and urge to shut down.
    Get to gym first thing to do what I can w/o standing.
    Drink more water!
    best to all & thanks for posting

    My commitments for today!

    1. Stick to the food I planned to eat and log everything
    2. Do the workout I planned to do
    3. Drink 100oz of water
    4. If I look in the mirror I have to find at least one beautiful awesome thing I love about my body - fight that negative talk
    5. Continue to say no to alcohol and cigarettes. Not today!
    6. Rest when I need to rest, eat when I need to eat, drink when I need to drink, talk to a friend when I need comfort, take deep breaths—- listen to my body

    ❤ Miss you gals, stay strong!!

    I don't know all about your situation, but I would add that the counselor is not God, i.e., despite his/her professional knowledge he/she doesn't know everything and has only outsider view on your marriage. You are the only one who really knows how to be you inside your marriage. You have all the knowledge and you have the power (despite the fact that you might not feel that way at the moment).
    I like to believe that in most marriages there is room to make them better (except in the cases of violence and bullying, of course). What does that mean that your husband is unwilling to work on things? Maybe he is just not doing it in the way he/she expected? Maybe he just doesn't trust him/her that he/she would bring you to the right place. Have you ever asked him if he sees any alternative for you two?

    Of course, if you feel like you've reached the end, I also believe that you are stronger than you think. We are here for you! Whatever path you take it's probably gonna be scary at first, but you'll be ok!
    Many times we are afraid to be single, but when I look around and back in my past, being single has also enormous potential. Sometimes people are less lonely when they are solo than within marriage.

    edited June 2019
    Last days I am not doing as much as I can weight-wise. I could eat less, I could move more. I haven't lost any weight recently.
    But, there is a thing I am very proud of - despite I am not doing perfectly, i.e. doing pretty far away from perfect, I haven't once fallen for that "day is ruined so I am going to just use it for binging". It might look small, but that gives me so much confidence that with time I could back to where I was 10 years ago when this was my default eating behavior (and when I was at my best weight).

    @Snowflake1968
    What a wonderful thing to do - trying things that makes you scary! Such a great idea! I wasn't here when you started swimming, now I see that it's one of those things...how awesome you are!!

    I am also scared to ride but at the same time I am amazed by it and I believe that it must be a wonderful thing to do.
    I am too big chicken to try it, but I am also inspired by what you did with swimming that I'm gonna do more of things that make me scared.
    Luckily, I don't have to go far to do so, it's enough to pick up a phone to face one of my fears, lol.

    -Fold clothes😭
    -Cook dinner😁
    -Wash dinner dishes😭
    -Bed prep at 9😭
    -Lights out at 10(the latest)😭
    So...1 out of 5...hmmm...

    It's all my friend's fault!! She has me reading an unfinished copy of her book and it was SO SO good. I got so sucked in that I couldn't put it down. I finished it at 1145 last night. Lol. My phone died about a minute later. I didn't even realize how low my battery was. But I started reading at around 4pm, read while I cooked dinner, and read all through the evening. It was just so so good!

    But now I have to push all of those chores back to today but I'm also going or this afternoon 😂. I can't open my laptop at all until I finish what I have to do today. Not at all. Or I'll just get sucked in. Lol.

    I've been tracking but not posting. It's amazing the power of being intentional and explicit about goals. As soon as I give my self more wiggle room being in "maintenance" I go over on my eating. Last two days I didn't post goals and went over.

    Pretrack for maintenance
    Get a Father's Day card in the mail this morning

    @korina75 I would definitely invest in a food scale. I've been using one since 2013, I got mine for $18 at Walmart. You would be amazed how much it helps with accuracy!

    All of you ladies are amazing!! Thank you for all the words of encouragement and support!!

    Obviously these issues have been in my life longer than just yesterday, I've just kept most of the issues to myself on here (with the occasional update). Yesterday my mind was in battle with thoughts and since my conversation with my counselor; I've been surviving on: "All things are possible with Christ who gives you strength. " Kinda obvious I'm sure but a life line nonetheless. I'm unwilling to throw in the towel on my marriage and yesterday I was considering all things learned, experienced and felt. I shared my JFT yesterday bc I needed to share some of what I was thinking. I knew something had to change or adjust in order to move forward. Well whomever may not believe, yesterday prayers were answered!! Out of no prompting from me, my husband came home early from work. He sat with me and ate dinner then asked if I would join him in having some wine. He helped get the boys to bed then poured two glasses of wine and toasted to "Our Love." 😢 What?!?! ➡️Prayers were answered!! He began talking and opening up about everything!!!! We talked for almost 3 hours. Everything that was discussed was meaningful but most important; he said he only wants me and wants to be in this family and be here with us. He is trying to understand himself better and wants to go to counseling but he wants to understand himself a little better before going. After he was done sharing everything, I explained to him where I was and how meaningful and necessary the conversation was. We both agreed, God showed up for us!!!!

    Are things perfect, of course not there is a lot of work to do. The important thing is he came to me and shared how willing he IS to work on our marriage!!

    I'm still in shock over the last 72 hours of events but I know one thing for sure, God IS for our marriage!!!!

    I know that is a long post to share but I wanted to update you all. The power of prayer is real!!

    Hugs to all you amazing ladies!!!! The support in this group is overwhelmingly positive!!!! Thank you again for all the support and caring words; it does make a difference!!!!

    💖💖((hugs))💖💖

    Thanks is amazingly awesome!!! I'm so glad the Lord showed up yesterday! The power of prayer really is amazing! I want to hug you with hugs of joy! I'm going to keep praying for you and your marriage. *Big hugs*

    I got a full 9 hours of sleep last night and feel so much better today. I am working on some cards today and printing 200 cookie bags for the wedding. I want to get as much done as possible this week and early next week so that if I get the job I'm not scrambling trying to figure out time to do everything. Tomorrow everyone is coming here to craft and work on projects again. Lauryn is coming Saturday to work on shower stuff so it's all coming together.

    Today is our 32nd Anniversary, I can't believe it's been that many years already.

    In a hurry to post some goals today, so I'll have to catch up later. Thinking of you all though and hoping you're having a great day! (I'm way back on Page 299 still.)

    Yesterday we were out and about doing rounding at some different clinics in our city and in some surrounding counties. The day went by so fast and it was really nice to get out and meet new people, not to mention getting out of my cubicle for a whole day! I'm going to try adding this into my weeks more often.

    Just for Thursday:
    1. Log every single bite - GOOD, BAD & UGLY
    2. HYDRATE
    3. MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    4. Eat only while sitting. Be mindful of choices. Put down fork in between bites.
    5. Get 3 main tasks done at work today before leaving. (1) Rounding schedule for rest of June. (2) New Provider Support schedule assigned out, and (3) Follow-up on outstanding emails and service tickets as time allows.
    6. Take a real lunch break
    7. Get outside for 15 minutes today
    8. Podcasts: Joyce | Half Size Me
    9. 30 minutes tonight working on Course 1 in HSM program "Getting Started for the Last Time"
    10. Prep for tomorrow, tonight
    11. Evening routine: brush/floss, shower, pack lunch, coffeemaker, set out outfit and pack laptop bag
    12. Unplug one hour before bed, Gratitude journal 5 things today, Read SA and JM dailies and listen to Calm app.
    13. DO NOT HIT SNOOZE IN MORNING!

    2019 WOY: Tenacity/Tenacious

    Yesterday was rough, thank you all for your prayers.

    JFT Thursday
    - Work by 8:00 :smile:
    - Audit prep/training :smile: My training session may have been lacking for those I was training
    - VDA testing :smile: Way behind on this project and it is very detail oriented.
    - I don't know, but I'm sure there is more I need to get done.

    Positive thought: Thankful to have friends to tell me when I need to fill out paperwork for the kids.

    @MLHC1 Sooooo happy to "hear" the hope in your "voice". God is good, and his plan is perfect though we aren't. Hold tight to you family and work through the trails to come out stronger increasing your faith along the way.

    @daubna08 - Looks like you are doing really well with your goals.

    @ginnytez - Aren't the boring times in life just a blessing. I find them so much better the older I get.

    @bex953172 - I bet the salt had a lot to do with it. I don't know how much faith I put in the scale anymore. My clothes are fitting better and I'm feeling healthier but I swear that dam@ scale hasn't moved in months! I know it has, but it just doesn't feel like it on a day to day basis.
    I also wanted to add, I just love that you are back regularly your inspiring messages to people are just so positive and encouraging to read. No matter what you have going on, you can always look at the positive side too.

    @korina75 - I bought a food scale last year and found I was way off in estimating. I was not logging meat even close to accurately, I was for the most part putting more than what I had eaten. Cheese and fruits I was not putting enough. Even now I still reach for the scale just to keep myself in check quite regularly. I just bought a cheap $10 one at Walmart, but it sure helped me be more realistic in my goals.

    @daneejela - Such wise words to MLHC1, no one lives inside the marriage but you and him. How true that is. I hope I did inspire you, pick up the phone and try it, you might find something you really enjoy. You'll then have to tell us all about it!

    @fludderbye - The first step is the most important one, even if it has to be a first step every day!

    @MLHC1 - I'm so happy for you, I know how difficult it is to have marriage issues and not feel secure in your marriage. I'm so happy he came home and talked to you. God is good.

    @nlmackey98 - I'm sorry the appointment was horrible. I hope that the next time isn't quite as bad and you can start healing.

    I have 22 bags printed. That's not bad, I was thinking it would take me a lot longer to do these. I think I'm going to mow the lawn for Rodger. He usually takes care of all of that stuff, but it needs done and he's been working hard all week. Suppose that will count as an Anniversary present?
