Morning!
Monday is my weigh-in day. I’m part of a couple challenge groups, but I’d like to add it here for accountability as well.
Start weight: 180
Last week’s weight: 143.6
Current weight: 142.2
Happy to have lost 1.6lbs. I typically lose pretty slowly, but I’m losing the few pounds I put on over the holidays a little quicker than normal. I’m glad to be on the right track and a tiny bit closer to my original goal of 140.
Sunday:
- church x3 🟢
- DRINK WATER 🟢
- Stay in the green🔴
- Go for a walk 🟢
- Food prep for the week.🟢
I did pretty good yesterday with my goals. I did go over by about 100cals, but I was under all week, so it evens out and I won’t stress about it.
JFT Monday:
- Laundry, laundry, laundry!
- Gotta get new sneakers.Mine are worn out!
- DRINK WATER
- Stay in the green
- Long walk6 -

-Water goal
I've hit this every day this year so far!
-Log all my foodI had a weird health thing happen last night. I don't know how to explain it but it completely threw me off my game so I ended up eating everything in the house and left me feeling like crap all night.
-Figure out dinnerLeftover chicken and green beans
-Clean the bathroom
I did a quite pickup/throw out of some things but that was really it. I need to do a much better job sometime soon.
-Write Ch. 21
-Empty/Load the dishwasher
-Laundry2.5 loads done. Not that much to most people but I have to trek it all up the road to my parent's house and wash it there. It was an all-afternoon thing(especially since I totally forgot about it for 2 hours 
).
Morning everyone! How are we all today? I'm doing alright. Had a weird health thing happen to me yesterday. Not sure how to explain it but it's been happening since over the summer. I should probably go talk to my doc but how do you try to explain something that you can't describe what exactly what it feels like?
Anyway, Matt works tonight so I have all afternoon/evening to myself. I love and hate this. I love it because I get time to myself and I hate it because I get lonely. It's just me and Panda. But I do have A LOT that I want to get done today. I know that I probably won't get it all done but it gives me a place to start.
So here are my goals for the day.
JFT, 1/13/20
-Water goal
-DISHWASHER!
-Drop off CD's
-Fold laundry
-Gym/walk
-Figure out dinner for me
-Write Ch. 21
-Bring charger to school
-Look up easy dip/snack recipes
-Make a dinner list for the week
-Bring K-cups/milk to school7 -
@jeschepp - Hi! I’m new to the group, but I saw your post about getting your financial life on track and wanted to suggest Dave Ramsey’s baby steps. He has a radio show (also available on podcast). He has several books, but Total Money Makeover is a great place to start to learn budgeting.
I don’t know your history or where you are in life, but for me, I used this method about 4 years ago and got my family out of debt.
He really teaches you how to be INTENTIONAL with your money. It is so, so similar to calorie counting. You have a certain amount to start with (calories or cash) and you need to plan it out before you actually consume/spend it.
Sorry for the long post, but maybe it will help!
Disclaimer: He is an Evangelical Christian. He uses bible verses to reinforce his position. I think you can take it or leave it, if that’s not for you. Just want to give a heads up in case that would put you (or anyone reading this) off.6 -

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.

Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases.

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.

Good Morning
I actually made my goals yesterday! First time in a long time.
We had a fun day yesterday with the extreme cold here, first our cold water froze up then after getting that going our furnace quit working. I dread seeing the bill for the furnace repair when it comes in. Hubby was upset about it but it’s not like we could go without. It’s all part of life. I’m just thankful I have a job and will be able to pay it, last year I wouldn’t have.
I will go back tonight to catch up. I am at work and want to get a head start on my long day ahead.
JFT- Monday January 13
Today I will:
Drink 2l of water
Log all food10 -
SW: 1/1/20: 168.2
GW: 163.2
CW: 1/6/20: 166.4
1/7/20: 165.4 (false low from blood donation)
1/8/20: 164.8
1/9/20: 164.0 (I'm sure this week is just loss of water weight, but it's still nice to see)
1/10/20: 164.0
1/13/20: 165.8 - some water weight I'm sure from eating out Fri, Sat
Loss: 2.4 lb
Happy Monday y'all!
The weekend was a bit of a bust for me. I didn't exercise, I didn't really log and I ate too much. Not surprising, my weight is up today. I figure a pound is true weight and a pound is water weight. We'll see. All in all I'm still happy with a 2.4 pound loss over the nearly 2 week period, even though I know it could be better.
I was just lazy Saturday, but yesterday I didn't feel well and slept most of the day away. A shame really, because it was beautiful out yesterday. Slightly overcast, but high in the upper 60's, very uncharacteristic for January in WV, I could have ridden outside if I'd felt better.
Feeling better today, but didn't get up early to spin so I will need to do it when I get home. I find that incredibly difficult, but I need to get over it.
JFT Monday
- Take girls to apply for Passports Yes, but hubby needs to be there too for the youngest. If they are under 16 you need both parents and the child present. Looks like another day where I'll be late for work and she'll be late for school.
- Pack food for lunches and snacks for the week It's nice having a fridge in my office. I think I'll being in a microwave as well.
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Water> Soda
- No alcohol
- Shuttle youngest from one practice to the next. Set up a car pool for this week...
- Go back to work for a bit
- Ride when I get home
- Left over pot roast for dinner most likely
- Laundry
- Read in Bible whatever comes after Ruth, I think it's Samuel...
- 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 on that spin back 4-5 days a week until I can get outside.
Climbing to reach my goals without letting my pride stop me.

Good morning All!!!!
This weekend was very busy for me! Hubby came back home from working out of town. We spent the weekend getting all the family stuff dealt with and the prep / packing for him to go again yesterday. He will be doing this schedule for the rest of the month so I'll probably be a M-Sat JFT
To all the ladies inquiring about my little guy:
Last year was the year of adjusting to his breathing treatment needs after his surgery. We learned a lot and know for sure harvest season agitates his breathing. (It has that affect on my asthmatic kiddo also so not too surprising.) He did attempt to start Montessori school last week but the director wasn't comfortable with him yet. She feels that he needs another month to adjust. (This is also understandable sorta bc he has been playing catch up in the development area due to his medical set backs.) Even though it was disappointing that the Montessori school "gave up" on day 2, this only motivated ME to homeschool him to the point he surpasses those other kiddos!!! So now, once again, I have to postpone my graduation date and take a distance learning course. The plan is to try Montessori school again in June but try a part time schedule to adjust him. Then in August he will go fulltime and hopefully I can knock out the last two semester's for my Bachelor's degree, Lol!! There is plenty of positive in this new adjustment and little man needs me right now which is more important!!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all have a great week
Met all my goals yesterday, but I'm getting off to a slow start this morning. The weather has been unseasonably warm, so I've been trying to get out and walk everyday. Great for my mental health, but I'm not getting things done at home. It's my last week of break, so I need to bump up the motivation.
Weight is up, although it's likely mostly sodium related. Cooking my own meals during the week should help with that. I'll be making some dietary changes since my bloodwork results came back and my cholesterol is elevated. So it's back to oatmeal and walnuts for breakfast most days for a start. I'm hoping that more intense cardio will help as well, since walking isn't raising my heart rate as much as it used to.
Goals for Sunday, January 12, 2020
• Walk 45+ minutes - √
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit - √
• Bake banana walnut muffins - √
• Take down the Christmas tree - √
• Dinner at my mom’s - √
JFT Goals for Monday, January 13, 2020

Friday evening I walked in Frenzy on the Fox 5K (on paved trail along the river) in 49:36 ave. pace 15:29. That's slower than normal so I know I'm not in the shape I want to be... lack of dogs walks during winter will do that. Sad dog & sad me. Spent time Sat. & Sun. undecorating, including both trees, and light cleaning, plus treadmill after church, so active weekend. Baked fresh salmon from Sat. winter market and Sun. made chili w/ yak meat (first time using ~ very lean meat & tasted fine), so food logs looked decent. Watched Packers beat Seahawks, another nail-biter. @PackerFanInGB what a game! I was so nervous the entire 2nd half! Finally, need to update my weekly w-i JFT post.

9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement
Word for 2020: Persist3 -
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.

My weight history:Name: JoanGoals for 2020:
5'11"
69 yrs old
SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206
SW Year 2020: 182.6
These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:
1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
2020 - January Discard 5lb Challenge
Name: Joan
SW: 185.4 (Jan 3)
GW: 180.4
CW:Jan 6: 181.2 -- back on track with healthy eating the past 2 days.Jan 13: 181.7 -- getting there, but slowly. Weight went up for a couple days, due to unhealthy eating again.
Jan 7: 182.5 - got into Candy Kisses last nite
Busy weekend ... I think I sewed up 30 chemo hats, ready to be picked up this week.Now I can clean up my sewing room, and get back to quilting. But hubby got in more orders today,so it will be a busy work-week again.
I've been struggling to get back on track. It is amazing how easy the old habits can come back, and the effort it does take to stop them. I have to remember to grab a piece of fruit when I am hungry .. not chips, ice cream, etc. I don't keep much of that around for that reason. But with the snow this weekend, it was a weekend of being stuck inside.
SO goals JFT, Monday
1. log all food
2. concentrate on drinking water
3. stick as close as possible to my planned meals/snacks
4. help hubby
5. clean up sewing room

@cschmitz110515 and @TerriRichardson112 -- how do you find your post to keep it going (ex, your weightly weigh-in chart, etc.). I keep losing mine, and trying to also keep it as a email to myself, but that is hard. I like how you guys do it... how do you do that. I'm sure you don't retype it all the time?0 -
Good morning All!!!!
This weekend was very busy for me! Hubby came back home from working out of town. We spent the weekend getting all the family stuff dealt with and the prep / packing for him to go again yesterday. He will be doing this schedule for the rest of the month so I'll probably be a M-Sat JFT
To all the ladies inquiring about my little guy:
Last year was the year of adjusting to his breathing treatment needs after his surgery. We learned a lot and know for sure harvest season agitates his breathing. (It has that affect on my asthmatic kiddo also so not too surprising.) He did attempt to start Montessori school last week but the director wasn't comfortable with him yet. She feels that he needs another month to adjust. (This is also understandable sorta bc he has been playing catch up in the development area due to his medical set backs.) Even though it was disappointing that the Montessori school "gave up" on day 2, this only motivated ME to homeschool him to the point he surpasses those other kiddos!!! So now, once again, I have to postpone my graduation date and take a distance learning course. The plan is to try Montessori school again in June but try a part time schedule to adjust him. Then in August he will go fulltime and hopefully I can knock out the last two semester's for my Bachelor's degree, Lol!! There is plenty of positive in this new adjustment and little man needs me right now which is more important!!
1/13/2020 Monday:
update / post JFT
log all food on mfp
30 min. exercise
drink 96 oz. of water

I keep track of what page my last post is on. I hit <Quote> then edit my last post by removing the opening and closing square brackets and then deleting/copying/pasting, and adding to the relevant parts of the old post.
