-FOLD THE DAMN CLOTHES! 😭 I took a nap instead.
-pick 1 order if available 😭 None available
-journal 😁
-gym😭
-prep lunch for Friday😁 This is making my mornings so much easier!
-dishwasher 😭 Totally forgot. The sink is filling up again though.
-Ch. 22😭 Moved to tonight

Yesterday was a bit of a bust. I got home and didn't do much. I made chicken nuggets and fries for dinner. Lol. But I did faithfully log it all. An apple put me over calories. 😭😭 But oh well. Today is a new day!

Matt closes his store tonight so I am going to try and get a bunch done. I have instacart hours this afternoon and then want to go to the gym, write, and fold the clothes.

I need to make weekly writing goals I think. So like 3 chapters a week or something. It's hard to get up and write in the morning and I don't feel like I have time in the evenings either. Especially now that I'm doing more instacart shifts. I'll definitely try and figure it out though. We'll see.

I hope everyone is having a great day.

Onto goals!

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

JFT, Friday
1. log all food
2. sew up 10 teddy bears. This is my newest charity project besides the chemo hats ... sewing up little teddy bears for the policeman to carry with them. A good way to use up leftover small pieces of felt!
3. no gym today ... calling for freezing rain, snow, and sleet. SO make wise food choices
5. work on pc boards and building units to ship this week
6. work on business tax stuff
7. concentrate on getting in 8+ glasses of water
8. laundry, clean house

I am so far again in reading all the posts .. this time of year we are crazy busy with tax stuff, plus more orders. But I will try and catch up later tonite!

Last nite our daughter came out .. she had fallen again while running. Her knee is very badly bruised, but she also split her lip. They did not want to do stitches, so she has some kind of tape on her lip ... just hope it heals OK. Never a dull moment with her.
Monday my husband goes to the urologist, so hoping that outcome is good.

Grrr! Really struggling to get to bed timely and get up early to work out before work. Seems like I'm still trying to get into routine habits since 12 days off over holidays, and being sick two weeks ago. Lost an unhealthy amount of weight quickly then, and maybe my body is telling me to slow down. Not helped by fact that I don't like indoor workouts as much. Wish roads weren't ice/snow-covered, otherwise dog and I could go our usual 3-4 miles. Sad dog & sad me. Anyway, tomorrow I WILL walk on the treadmill in the basement. And probably shovel snow ~ if forecast is accurate this time, we will get 4-8" tonight/tomorrow.

2020 Goals

1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement

Word for 2020: Persist

Happy Friday!

It's already mid-afternoon and I haven't even posted goals yet. I'm the only one in my office today so it's quiet and I'm getting a ton of stuff done! So happy it's Friday! I plan on having a nice weekend. No clue what I'm doing yet but we have Winter Storm Dean coming in tonight through tomorrow so it'll be mostly spent in the house. I don't know how much snow or ice, but I do know it's going to be COLD. I did get my sewing area set up last weekend, so maybe I'll finish the quilt top I started.

I ordered and received a variety of work-out DVDs. I got Body Groove, a Beginner's Yoga, Tai Chi and a Leslie Sansone Walk a mile. I' hope to make the other end of the basement (opposite end from sewing area) a work-out/exercise space. I have a treadmill but the grandkids loosened the belt by trying to use it without having it plugged in, so it's not of much use to me right now, and some light weights I could begin using to tone my arms. I don't think they are too heavy for my bad arm and might even help with the lymphedema.

So....maybe my weekend will be spent fixing up the basement?

I also have a goal to go to the gym tomorrow and Sunday if I can. I want to spend 30 minutes active, do some tanning and then spend about 20 minutes in the massage chair. Doesn't that sound heavenly right now? A massage chair? *sigh*

And, of course. Sunday I'll be watching the Green Bay Packers play the SF 49ers for the NFC Championship! Although I really, really, reallyyyyyyyyy want the Packers to go to the Super Bowl, I don't have a good feeling about them winning the game this weekend. 49ers have been kicking butt and taking names all season. Really excited about the game though! We'll see!

Just for Friday:

Journal food
Drink water
Do exercise video tonight if too cold or icy to walk dog tonight
Get top 3 work tasks done. PRIORITIZE! GET CAUGHT UP! FOCUS!
Get top 3 home tasks done tonight. Again, PRIORITIZE and STOP PROCRASTINATING! Itemize and prioritize
Self-care: 30 minutes today....can break up into three 10-minute segments if need be. Take care of YOU

Faebert · January 2020

Hi all, so late getting on here today I’ve made it through most of the list already! Things were ok at the hospital yesterday. My healing is still a bit slow on one side and I might be left with some issues requiring more surgery, but it will take a few more weeks before we know. I was a bit disappointed but trying to stay positive as I know it will all get sorted out in the end. It’s been an eventful few days and today was no exception. I’m on the mend, house issues are getting sorted, and now my childminder has quit! So there’s my priority for the next couple of days as I def need to get something sorted before I go back to work. Never a dull moment!

Happy Friday everyone xx

Woke up feeling under pressure this morning as I had groups both morning and afternoon. I adjusted my exercise expectations, and felt less stressed. Sometimes you have to just go with the flow.

Another New day! Another opportunity to achieve great things, one step at a time.

The only failure is giving up!

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.

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.
04 Jan: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas > 5 chapters per week
12 Jan: finished chapter 18, so well ahead of goal.
13 Jan: finished my 1st book: Will start the 2nd tomorrow
Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman
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.
07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
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.
07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork 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.
14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.

Daily Goals: Track, 😁Exercise, 😁Journal😁

Friday’s plan:
1. Up by 6, walk, 7minute app, yoga—mostly 😁 but didn’t yoga and did alternate exercises to app. But by end of day logged 10k steps
2. Healthy breakfast, no media 😁
3. Lunch at home, salad 😁
4. Dinner on road, try to find chipotle and get salad with black beans and steak 😁 — has a more upscale dinner, steak and Brussels sprouts, but kept in calorie limit (and below for the day again)
5. Lots of water 😁
6. Journal before bed😁!

So down very slightly today, still hoping I will get a bigger loss eventually. This weekend is fun time! Rented a house in the mountains with friends of 20 + years to celebrate 2 milestone birthdays (one of them mine!). Luckily the women in the group are all careful, healthy eaters. There will be temptation, but there won’t be pressure.

Daily goals: track, exercise, journal

Saturday’s plan:
1. Healthy breakfast
2. Pack Healthy sandwich for lunch, bring orange
3. Lots of water
4. At least 1hour hiking or snowshoeing
5. Track everything
6. Journal before bed!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

- water - more than yesterday🟢
- Stay green🟢
- Walk 🟢
- Pick up one piece of trash while out🟢
- Dishes🟢

Yesterday was pretty productive. It was so cold, but I got my butt out there and went for a long walk. I was wrapped up like a mummy! I’m trying to get out as long as the sidewalks are safe. We’re supposed to get snow and rain tonight so not sure how many more chances I’ll have to walk outside this winter. I really hate the treadmill. ☹️

JFT Saturday:
- go for a walk
- Pick up one piece of trash while out
- Complete computer tasks
- Work with DH to set 2020 budget goals
- Water
- Music rehearsal
- food prep a few meals

Hooray for the weekend!

Had a great day with hubby yesterday. Will get back to logging today.

Although I went over yesterday, I did buy me a “goal” dress that I love. It is really a NYE dress, but if I get into it sooner I might just wear it to get ice cream.

teigansdad · January 2020

So I pretty much blew my calorie goal to he🏒🏒 yesterday. Did manage to pass up social beers. So that’s a plus and I’m gonna call it a win.

Today’s a new day

Group ride on zwift at 945
Stay in green... would like to be 1000 calories in green after calories added back from ride

-water goal
-log food I ate like total crap but at least I logged it all. Lol
-insta hours Did two orders and only made $17. The second order never tipped me So that sucked but at least I got some money, right? It was only 2.5 hours of work and it helped me hit my step goal.
-clean kitchen table and fold clothes/put away Cleaned off the table and folded the clothes but they are still sitting on the table. Lol.
-bring charger to school Did this but I didn't need it. Lol. I kept it in the car so I could keep my phone charged during my insta shifts though and of course, I left it in there overnight. Lol
-gym Finally! Lol. And I did a good workout. I walked for 30 minutes and didn't even notice since I was engrossed in my book. I'm almost at the climax so I'm going to finish it tomorrow when I got to the gym again I think. Lol
-CHAPTER 22 Also finally! I've figured out that if I write 5 chapters a week I'll meet my goal of finishing it by March 1st. So I wrote one yesterday and I'm going to write two today and two tomorrow.
-empty/fill/run dishwasher ALSO FINALLY! Lol. Now I just have to empty it again. Lol

I got a lot done yesterday! I hit every one of my goals. That's a huge step in the right direction! Lol. I feel like that never happens! I'm hoping I can do the same today although today's goals are a bit more ambitious. So we'll see. It's supposed to snow today and I have some insta hours coming up at 11. I looked at the forecast and it says that it's only supposed to flurry during my hours and pick up after I'm done. So hopefully it stays that way. Matt's going to be driving home from work in the thick of it though. Pray that he stays safe and makes it home okay, please. We're getting the leftovers of the storm that hit the Midwest the other day. We're only supposed to get a little bit of snow and then it'll turn to rain and ice. I have mixed feelings about that. I love it if we get one good snow a year. We haven't had that yet and it looks like we probably won't. It's been pretty warm here all Winter. We had a few days earlier in the week that were in the high 50's. The average here is between 35-40 this time of year. It felt amazing but definitely not seasonable.

I have to go to the cabin today and pick up the rest of the canned goods that I left down there. I want to make one of my meals that Matt can't eat while he's at work. It makes a whole bunch of leftovers that I want to bring to work for lunches. Hopefully I'll be able to do that. I'll probably have to get the key to the front door from Mom. She locks it when she's not there and I doubt she'll be working down there today.

Okay, enough chatter. Lol. Time for some goals!

JFT, 1/18/20

beachwalker99 · January 2020

Got a lot more done yesterday, but weekend plans are up in the air because we're supposed to get snow later today. Leaving my goals really open-ended today.

Goals for Friday, January 17, 2020 - Met most of these

• Up with alarm - √
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit - √
• Grocery store - √
• Buy and mail GW card – X – Went to 2 stores but forgot to look in in both. Got good news that the patient is home from the hospital and tests are clear, so I’ll pick one of my pretty notecards and write a nice message instead.
• Cook a sensible dinner. No take-out. - √ - Bought a ton of veggies at the store, but I was craving comfort food, so I made shepherd’s pie. Shaved off 66 calories per serving by substituting mushrooms for a third of the lamb and using only 1 tbsp of oil to saute the veggies.
• Catch up on all the chores I didn’t do this week. – 75% - Acceptable.

JFT Goals for Saturday, January 18, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit
• Get a few things done around the house
