    Good morning! I found this on the Beck's Diet Solutions website and thought I'd share...

    Monday Motivation: Consistency is the only way to build your resistance muscle! When you’re on track some of the time but off track other times, you’ll just end up spinning your wheels and not really getting anywhere. This week, focus on goals you can be one-hundred percent consistent with and make progress toward strengthening your resistance muscle.

    I have been struggling on several fronts lately. With sunrise later each day and many cloudy, crap weather days, I struggle to get up early before work to walk dog or x-train, especially if I do not go to bed early enough. I always eat my exercise calories and this means I have to eat less. :'( I struggled with July & Aug. monthly Step Challenge on MFP (not a very supportive group, just posting results), so I decided to drop that. My monthly goals on JFT have not had the results I've been striving for, and it's been disheartening, so I'm taking a break from that too. Still will post my weekly w-i on JFT for my own accountability. That said:

    JFT M 9/9
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    2) Prelog meals & snacks / preview Culver's online menu (% of sales goes to charity today) / net calories zero / 14c water
    3) Post updated weekly w-i on JFT
    4) Progress on GA-C/V audit / clear some of Inbox
    5) Schwan's delivery / bake choc zucchini cake for dept food day tomorrow / bulk household items to curb for pick-up / compost bucket to bin / update budget s/s / schedule furnace tune-up / review potential Oct. 5K / check healthcare prep instructions for next week
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 10:20

    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.

    Age 61, 5'4.5"
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 145 - 150 [Need to be realistic! Revised from 140 - 145]

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    07/08 = 177.5 oops
    07/15 = 176.5
    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
    09/16 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!
    09/23 = 168.5 have lots challenges in upcoming week

    10/14 = 166.5 dined out 2 days with adult beverages plus wine & cheesecake at spa

    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week
    11/25 = 163.0 no surprise after 2 no-logging-food days (parade day and Thanksgiving), just glad not worse

    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.
    @korina75 Happy Belated Birthday... I apologize for missing it. Hugs & balloons
