    @Bex963172 So pleased time see you back. We missed you. Hope you had a smashing break.
    Another New day! Another opportunity to achieve great things, one step at a time.
    I am straight into all my group meetings again. Determined to manage my time better.
    The only failure is giving up!
    ==============================
    2019 DISCARD 5 LBS CHALLENGES:
    01 Aug 2019: 170.1

    Total weight loss: 19.9lbs

    2020 - Jan Discard 5lb Challenge
    Name: Terri
    SW: 152.1 (02 Jan)
    GW: 147.1
    03 Jan: 151.8
    04 Jan: 151.4

    06 Jan: 151.2 - 1.1
    ==============================
    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to,work,out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. 04 Jan: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas > 5 chapters per week
    3. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    4. 07 Jan:One bag already full and ready to go,to the charity shop
    5. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    6. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Parchment Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.

    The stormy weather is affecting my Fitbit. It thinks I’ve climbed 6 flights of stairs and I know I’ve not climbed anything! Stormy weather gave me over 50 flights of stairs by the time I went to bed!

    So that’s what’s happening?! I’ve always wondered when my Fitbit suddenly gives me major spikes in stairs or steps etc. Now I’ll monitor its behavior against the weather and see if I see something similar. Thanks!

    JFT Tuesday

    - Ride Peloton :neutral:
    - On time for work :smiley: even early
    - Work 8-9 hours to make up for leaving early yesterday
    - Protein bar for breakfast :smiley:
    - Log everything :smiley: even those pesky fries I stole from my dauther
    - Stay green :smiley:
    - Read in Judges :( Really just forgot
    - Take a walk at lunch if it's not raining :( Too cold
    - Taxi kid around, she'll get dinner on the go :smiley:
    - Grocery shop while V is at practice :smiley:
    - Everybody gets home at different times tonight so dinner will be in phases. :smiley: Surpriaed that 3 of us ate together though the pork cooked too long
    - Bed by 11:00 :smiley:

    Yesterday was good. Nothing major, just sort of good. Today is a rest day from the bike so I'll definitely try to walk at lunch. Truth is every now and then I just don't want to get up at 5:00am (Feed & let dogs out, work out, recover, shower, etc.) when I can get up at 7:00am (Shower at night, brush my teeth, wash my face and go. Kids feed dogs).

    Hubby's birthday is next Friday so I got tickets to a comedy club in Columbus. He has the day off, I think I'll take half a day and then we can go up early and shop and such. The original plan was to spend the night in Columbus, but V has a theater festival on the 18th so we need to be home early.

    I have to teach at church tonight and I forgot the book at home. I'll go home at lunch and get it. We are doing a study in Revelations and quite frankly that book confuses the heck out of me. I need the book for this one.

    JFT Wednesday
    - Sleep in until 7:00, work by 8:00. :smiley:
    - Pack snacks for work :smiley: Grapes and left over sweet potato fries
    - Water>soda
    - Protein bar for breakfast :smiley:
    - Log everything
    - Stay in the green
    - Walk 2 mile work loop today
    - Home at lunch to get lesson book
    - Quick lunch
    - Work until 5:00pm
    - Dinner on the go plan for Chick Fil A - Prelog
    - Leave room in my day for a beer or two at night - Prelog
    - Bed by 11:00

    My word for 2020 is CLIMBING:

    Climbing out of depression into the life I want to experience. Healthy, fit & fun.
    Climbing on my bike. I will get up the back side of Huck this summer!
    Climbing to reach my goals without letting my pride stop me.

    Read thru all JFT posts late yesterday. Welcome to all new JFTers! This is such a great group of people for accountability & support, without judgment. I am inspired every day by the JFT posts.

    Even though my brain was still a bit fuzzy, I wanted to reply to at least some of the posts.

    @mytime6630 @PackerFanInGB @ZizzyBumble @Snowflake1968 I am keeping you and your hubbies in my prayers for good health news.

    @Faebert I think your 2020 plan is awesome! Given your situation, you are doing what you can. I like that you are not focusing so much on weight. Prayers for a speedy and uneventful recovery.

    @bookmeister86 @pridesabtch I so admire your giving the gift of life, blood. I tried once, and it did not go well. My veins are not easy to find, and the needle was like a knife blade being moved around inside my arm. From elbow to wrist was black & blue for over a week. Since they couldn't even collect the minimum amount, I was told they wouldn't use my blood. That's when I decided my giving would have to take other forms.

    @Bex953172 Happy to see you back!

    @maryrobinson40 Hugs to you, sweet friend!

    You a biker? Sufferfest?

    Yes
    Play around racing mountain bikes (I’d say serious weekend warrior level, race for a shop... fairly competitive at my age group but love of beer likely a big obstacle to finding the top step of podium).
    This time of year do most of my cycling on my wahoo kickr.
    Usually switch between swift for virtual group rides or sufferfest for interval workouts. Sufferfest has really upped their game since being bought out by wahoo
    I’d say I like that training platform better than trainer road but the videos get kinda boring. I often let sufferfest run the trainer intervals but have my litttle avatar on Zwift wheeling through the virtual worlds to break up the 1 to 3 hrs on trainer

    5 years ago I did time trials, now I'm fat and slow. Working on fixing that. I probably won't race anymore, but I will get my rump up the hills around here in a less embarrassing way.
