JFT W 11/20 ~ Due to horrible eating/sleeping last night, changed alarm & didn't walk on treadmill before work as planned. Busy week & hard to fit in other times. Mad at myself. Maybe some kind of workout tonight?

I'm still in significant pain, but I just have to get moving. I bought a new iPod as a motivation, so now I have to follow through.
I just went to the gym tonight for the first time in months. All I did was walk, but at least I made it through the door and hit 10,000 steps for the day. Goals for tomorrow:
Were you in an accident or did you have an injury making it hard to walk and giving you pain? I've struggled with knees and hip problems with subsequent surgeries so know how frustrating it is to want to walk and get the exercise but not be able to because of the pain! Hope you are on the mend!0 -
J4T / Wednesday / 11/20/19
Work-at-Home Wednesday! Yea!
I am not even going to bother making excuses for myself for all the little faces I would have for how I did yesterday. The fact is, I was good all day and then came home and ate chocolate chips straight from the bag while I sat on the couch watching the Impeachment hearings and The Voice. There is no excuse...I just didn't follow through with what I knew I should be doing. So...in an attempt to get myself back on track without allowing myself to make up excuses, Just for Today, I will:- Journal every bite - good, bad & ugly
- Drink 80+ oz of water
- Work tasks: Dr. K & M's to-do follow up, add bullet points to notebook, clean folder items, look at rounding schedule and update my calendar.
- Quilt: Sew together quilt top
- 30 minutes of intentional activity
- Hand weights routine
- Prep for tomorrow: clothing / pack lunch bag / coffeemaker set
- Early bedtime with evening routine: Skin care / Gratitude journal / DO reading / JM podcast / SA daily reading / start new Riley Paige book
Discard 5 lbs Challenge #5
Name: Tracie
SW: 184.4 lb
CW: 186 lb +1.6 lb gain
GW: 179.4 lb
Word of 2019: TENACITY I will NOT give up!

Iβd have been properly in the green were it not for a whisky. My husband and I have made the difficult decision that we will have to be apart this Christmas. He needs to be on Skye so canβt travel south as planned and we both think I should be with my parents as my mum is terminally ill and was looking forward to Christmas with us. I know itβs the right decision but that does not make it easy! Whisky does not help but it was an excuse to indulge ....5 -
@ZizzyBumble I'm so sorry to hear your mum is ill, and I'm also sorry you will miss being with your husband during Christmastime. I'm sure that has to be a really difficult situation to be in. I do think that you've made the right decision, though, for what it's worth. I think when we have a terminally ill loved one, there are too many opportunities that could become regrets if we don't take them when they arise. Unfortunately, I've been learning that the hard way, and I wish I could give you a great big hug! xoxo2

@ZizzyBumble So sorry to hear about your mom. Being torn in two directions sucks! Your DH is very wise. I agree with what was said by @PackerFanInGB You would so regret not spending that time with your mom. (((Hugs)))

I think that it is just my fibromyalgia getting progressively worse. I've had this problem every summer for the last few years, but it hasn't completely gone away this year as the weather has cooled. I am working on getting a diagnosis and keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't MS or something equally serious. Basically, my feet hurt like heck and feel like they are on fire most of the time. I had a couple of times this summer where I had to go up stairs on my butt because I could not walk, and times where I could not stand long enough to cook a meal.
I've got major health issues--5 different metabolic diseases, I'm a brain aneurysm survivor, etc. I lost nearly 100 pounds here a few years ago, but I've had a hard time finding the energy to properly take care of myself since I returned to full time work. Striking a good balance is really tricky!

@zizzybumble - Iβm so sorry you had to make that decision. Itβs so hard. Like others have said though, I think itβs good that you are staying with your Mom.

Well Iβve read and caught up, have just finally sat down from after work and itβs already 9pm.
I finally worked up the courage to call a dentist. Iβve been having a toothache since July. I hate dentists, I had such a traumatic experience when I was young, I havenβt been in more than 20 years. We made a plan to get everything fixed and I found out I have excellent benefits. I didnβt even have to pay a deductible.
The last two nights Iβve been working on ornaments. I have to show you the ornaments I made last night. Kaitlyn painted their faces for me.3 -

@Faebert, hope your kids are feeling better, it's really difficult when you work and they're not well.
@ZizzyBumble , hugs to you having to make that hard decision. You'll make your Mum happy being there. Could you and your husband have your own mini-Christmas on a different day? Will you be home for New Year? You know now you live in Scotland the big celebration is on Auld Years Night?
@Sowflake, love the decorations

4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE.

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.

Hey, how is everyone? I'm battling weight issues. I have dropped almost 40 pounds, have another 60 to go. Seem to have hit a plateau. Hate that and it's very discouraging. Think this group might be helpful to keep me focused and on track. I'm also using a gym 3-5 days a week as well as dieting (keeping calories in the 1200-1500 range most days). Tips would be helpful. I'm older (67) and have some arthritis and joint issues, so impact exercising is out of the question.6

Had to tell Marley that santas elves are coming to pick them all later to wrap and bring on xmas day! She keeps asking to play with them!3

Recap W 11/20 ~ Due to horrible eating/sleeping T night, changed alarm & didn't walk on treadmill before work as planned. Busy week & hard to fit in other times. Mad at myself. Maybe some kind of workout tonight?
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 16,507 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 47 floors
2) Meals & snacks prelogged / NO evening snacking / net calories zero / 14c water = Net cals -87 sodium -1,397 sugar -29, fiber & protein excellent, 14c water
3) Continue to clear Inbox backlog current backlog gone, next is outdated stuff / Cognos training online & arranged for hands-on with IT
4) Evening: winter market (remember cash at lunch time) / pick up forgotten item at Woodman's or Sam's a pain but done / wash pants/jeans / make apple crisp / wash dishes / other? decided to take advantage of mild temps around 40(F) / snow/ice on roads now melted and walked dog 3.06 mi 55:21... dog wore her blaze orange vest w/ reflectors & we both wore our LED gear = dog so happy (me too) / charged headlamp & LED dog collar after
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / BED & TV OFF 10:20 by 10 (treadmill workout R before work)
JFT R 11/21
1) X-trained (circuit/weights) before work = happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / net calories zero / 14c water
4) Chapter emails / prep for board meeting / prep PA-F folders / reduce Inbox backlog / review more for Cognos / maybe start GA-PT review
5) Evening: NO choir / make turkey ole / wash dishes / other?
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / BED & TV OFF 10:20 (leave 7:20 F for downtown meeting)
Tomorrow will be a challenge: have a prof assoc board meeting downtown 0800 - 1200 with "light" breakfast and "informal" lunch after. I don't plan on workout before since I have to leave earlier than normal to get there + find parking + check in at building security. I will eat breakfast at home for a solid base (my usual winter meal of oatmeal, raisins & milk) plus take my water bottle along. Plan to skip the light breakfast (may eat fruit if available) and may or may not stay for lunch, depending on timing and what/where it is. I won't get my normal move hourly or stairs breaks in a.m. but hopeful to reach at least 5000 steps for the day. In evening, have to make sure I'm all prepped for Sat. morning holiday parade ~ I've volunteered in the staging area 25+ years, and have decided this is my last year.1 -

Hi everyone, sorry I've been MIA a bit. My sister was down visiting from Canada with my niece, nephew and brother in law. It was really nice to see them and we had a great time!
On Friday my uncle passed away while my sister was still here, so my sister, my dad and I flew to NY Monday night for the funeral on Tuesday then I got back to FL Wednesday morning. It was hard to swing it but I could tell it meant a lot to my family that we made the effort to be with them.
This is a rough week, I'm very behind at work now and more exhausted than I can ever remember.. I'm sure some of it is emotionally related though.
I won't be posting goals today but just wanted to check in, say hello and wish everyone a happy Friday. ππ5 -
