New here. So there is a lose 5lbs challenge this month? Looking for everyday motivation and accoutability
Yeah its hopefully an ongoing challenge. So as soon as someone loses 5lbs it resets with everyones current weight. Weve had one winner so far so it reset a few days ago.
I think the only rules were weighing a couple of times to make sure it was accurate.
No extreme dieting or anything deemed unhealthy.
No one with eating disorders because we dont want to encourage an illness
And aslong as your weight shows -5lb then you win, doesnt matter if its up the next day because you cant help the daily fluctuations, just be as accurate as you can!
You in?

I don’t even have much to say tonight. I’ve read and caught up but didn’t take notes.
I’ll try harder tomorrow night.3 -
Reasonable day diet wise yesterday. I did get bored and demotivated at work but managed to lift my mood by listening to music and did not buy food on the way home.
I also managed not to buy wine on the way home despite really feeling like a glass of red wine. I did however have a couple of slimline G&Ts at home but I'm not going to beat myself up about that. I do want to get out of the habit of having alcohol on non-socialising work nights but I can't break every habit at once! I'll crack the binging first, then look at the alcohol. In the meantime, I'm going to moderate the alcohol, sticking to a specific number of units so that across the week as a whole I stay in guidelines.
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stay within 50 of green
- Stick to food plan
- 4+ bottles water
- No alcohol
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts Stopped myself buying food and wine on my way home
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive I felt pretty demotivated mid afternoon and wanted a sugar lift but I put on some music instead and just pushed through
- 30+ minute lunch break
- Finish work by 6.30 pm latest
- Read something for job interview
- Help boyfriend with settled status application He left work super late so we didn't have a lot of time. We've decided to do it on Thu/Fri when we have more time as it may take a little while. We really have to do it then though, don't want him to get kicked out of the country...
- Pack bag for running
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11 A bit later, was enjoying my book too much
Today's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan

Kids first day back today and so back to getting up super early. Having mixed emotions! Lunch with a dear friend today-sushi- and going to get my exercise in early today and then try to catch up around the house, it's a bit of a disaster. Work has slowed a bit so looking to do some marketing and some self care too.
Hope all have a great day!3 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 192.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for 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. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to PB for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
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: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Oct 29 8 AM. Onco Oct 22 9:30. PCP Sept 18 10:15. ObG Oct 22 10:30. GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: Mamma Mia. Next?
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike night for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter.
WFTY: Climbing. We open next Thursday. Next week is going to be extra hard because I have rehearsal on Sunday (which we usually have off) and then because of performances we don't have Saturday off either. But then the following week we don't have rehearsal - just performances Friday/Saturday/Sunday. And then we're done!
I am SO TIRED of dealing with expectations for performing femininity. If my husband had my job, he could wear khakis, an undershirt, a button-down shirt (solid or print) and be done. Women? You have to coordinate the outfit, and let's not even get started on matching the shoes and the accessories. And then there's hair (can't just brush it and go, has to be styled) and makeup (but not too much). UGH.5 -

Hi everyone! Even while I was MIA on vacation (really, just 10-day stretch when I was not at work ~ yippee), I was thinking of you. Caught up on 155 JFT posts yesterday. @PackerFanInGB My deepest sympathy on the loss of your stepfather. Hugs to all!
I had thought of logging some days during vacation, but just didn't. Also didn't eat on a regular schedule, or limit myself when out and about, or even at home on evenings when hubby was at work. So the scale number is still climbing... not the result I'm aiming for.
@Bex953172 I would like to participate in the Lose 5# Challenge round 2. Maybe that will help me get back on track. My starting weight was 169# this morning ~ yikes!
Since I'm out of habits badly, I am beginning JFT gently this week.
JFT W 9/4 ~ Happy Hump Day!
1) Log all snacks & meals / 14c water
2) FLOSS / retainers / bed & tv off 10:204 -

Discard 5lb challenge Round 2.
SW: 147.2
CW: 145.6 (either yesterday was a false high or today is a false low. Not likely that I dropped 1.6lb in a day.)
GW: 142
My mom has been not talking to via test. Well actually I get one word answers. I know she is angry about something. I just don't feel like asking what it is. Then last night hubby gets all pissy that I'm not more physical (TMI?). I've tried to explain that the extra weight makes me feel way less than appealing. He doesn't get it. He thinks if he finds me sexy that that should be enough. Sigh... He is a great guy and I swear this is the only thing we ever argue about, but it's driving me buggy. Maybe I should just pencil him in at regular intervals and see if he notices the insincerity. These two things/people want to make me scream. Instead I'll try not to eat my feelings and just plan things around them.
Anyway, I didn't work out this morning as I wanted to sleep in until 6:00, and I was a bit sore from CF yesterday. My hamstrings and inner thighs are a good sore, my elbow is a bad sore. I plan to go back tomorrow. If I just keep going back, I'm bound to see improvements. I doubt I'll ever be one of the bronze, tone, beautiful women, but maybe I can get to where my belly doesn't move independent from the rest of my body.
Church tonight. It's the first night of the AWANA kids program that runs throughout the school year. We are kind of in charge of it again this year, by default. That's okay, we have lots of practice. The only bad side is I didn't know until late and so the supplies won't be in for club tonight. Oh well, we do have cupcakes and ice cream.

Today has been a *kitten* day. I got written up by my boss when I came in this morning for missing too many days of work. I'm almost 60 years old and at this point in my life, the last thing I would expect is to be written up. I feel humiliated. But it is what it is. I understand why it had to be done, but I also would not do anything differently. Family first. I told my boss that I was really sorry that I put her in the position of having to do it, as I'm sure it wasn't any more fun for her than it was for me.
I sure hope I pull myself out of this funk soon. I don't like myself when I'm not smiling! I am way more fun with a smile and a joke!

My Granddaughter’s name is Michaela but I am the only one to call her that everyone else calls her Micki, she is 3 and is starting preschool 2 mornings a week starting tomorrow. Tonight my daughter and son in law had to go to a parent only meeting to sign documents and get a rundown of expectations. I kept the kids while they went to the meeting. My daughter, Lauryn, comes back and tells me about the meeting.
Lauryn is telling me that for all of her artwork and stuff she will be writing Michaela not Micki. Lauryn feels it’s important that she know how to spell her name properly and this is a good time to learn.
Michaela is listening to the conversation and out of the blue pipes up and says “my name Micki but not Mickey Mouse”.

Ok day yesterday. I managed to avoid bingeing and drinking wine, but I did have more gin than I planned to. Again, I'm going to not beat myself up about it. Little steps at a time - I'm focusing on cracking the junk food and wine first, then the gin can follow! I do want to stay within my overall guidelines this week though so will aim not to have one today. I may have a nice bubble bath instead.
Yesterday's commitments:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan Had one extra yoghurt and some G&T
- Be in the green Very slightly over. But I'd been hoping to have a deficit given I ran in the morning
- 5+ bottles water
- Run to work
- No eating whilst standing
- Savour every bite
- Talk back to sabotaging thoughts
- Give myself credit!
- Stay positive
- 1h lunch break 45 mins and didn't really use it well
- Finish work at 6.30pm latest
- Read stuff for job interview Nope, as didn't get it done at lunch and after work I just want to flop
- Do finances
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11 Think it was a bit later, maybe quarter past. Very tired today
Today's commitments:

JFT 9/4 Recap
Drink water
Stay within calories
healthy choices
Yoga/strength training
I did go for a long walk yesterday and then did some stretching but today I am planning to do much more. I have been slowly gaining the whole month of august and don't want to be creeping up anymore. Back at it today, which is my birthday!
JFT 9/5
Drink water
limit alcohol
healthy choices
90 minutes exercise
Only one drink at lunch (husband is taking me out for my birthday) if I feel like having one, have too much car pooling and such tonight to do much more celebrating than that anyway. Going to try to do 60 minute run and 30 minutes yoga. Back at the apple watch challenge to try to get my good habits back on track.
