Happy hump day everyone!5 -
Quite a good day yesterday. I struggled at work as I got bored and there were lots of tasty treats around as my company launched its new strategy yesterday and therefore cake/chocolates had been bought to celebrate. (It really annoys me that that's how they celebrate. It's probably inevitable given that's how we celebrate as a culture but it contributes to there being food around ALL THE TIME). But, I managed to resist. I remembered that overall I want to lose this weight more than I wanted to eat that.
I then went out with the girls in the evening and pretty much stuck to my plan in terms of food and drink and as such stayed in maintenance! So overall a great success. And my reward is not having a hangover which feels amazing...
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be within maintenance
- One water (equal volume) for every alcoholic drink
- Max. 6 units 6.66....
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45 min lunch break
- Read 1+ career development article
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions Didn't really do this
- Stay positive
- Finish work by 6pm or earlier 6.15
- Home by 11 latest
Today's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ min lunch break
- Read 1+ career development article
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive
- Finish at 5pm
- Pack stuff for running
- Talk to boyfriend in French6 -
I'd really like an accountability group, but I tend to get lost in a big group.
2011/12 I lost 86 pounds. I kept it off with healthy eating and exercise till 2016. I had over-trained my shoulders and they were excruciating. I stopped boot-camp and started Pilates. it did miracles for my shoulders! Its not cardio so my weight went up a tad. 2017 I began adding cardio then my foot got injured. It took till 2019 to get that almost resolved. The pain now is ignorable and began cardio again along with Pilates.
2020 is my year to get back to my fittest self. I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks, but last time I had still kept off 60 pounds for 8 years. Decided to be super proud of that rather than boohoo the gain.
Would love to talk to healthy eating and exercising people. People who keep on trying and don't worry about perfection.6 -

Wednesday 22 January
Log
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
Water
Fitbit exercise goals
Scale has not moved since Monday - I guess my logging is not as accurate as it could be combined with some impatience. At least it’s not gone in the wrong direction I was trying to bank some calories for the weekend when I know I’m going to be in the red. My Fitbit suggests less alcohol and more water is having a positive effect on resting heart rate.5 -
Day 1: 106.4
Day 2: 105.8
Now off to do a tempo run
Happy goal crushing y'all 💪6 -
Hey guys and gals!
Dang it’s cold here in NC.. especially because just two weeks ago it was in 60s. My goals for 21st were mostly met. I crushed the calorie goal. This time around on MFP I set my weight loss goal still fairly aggressive but gave my self waaaay more time to achieve goal so caloric restrictions haven’t been terrible as long as I make smart choices.
Calories-✅
Tour of swift ✅
P90 ❌
Water ✅
No beer ✅
For 22nd:
Stay in. Green (500 calorie in + with exercise)
Actually track my water
Sufferfest
P90 ( really got to do some resistance training)
No beer
Bills
Family time but leave my phone and iPad in other room.

Chin up buttercup!
Still trying to get my head out of my *kitten* and do what I know how to do. Yesterday was a bad day emotionally, but I'm trying to pick that up today. Combination of being exhausted, getting over being sick and being overwhelmed by my schedule. I realized late yesterday that my youngest daughter's play opens this weekend, I thought it was next weekend. I'll miss it as I'll be in Pittsburgh with my oldest daughter this weekend. I would have missed it even if I'd had the dates right, and hubby will be there, but I feel awful for dropping the ball.

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 195.8
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. 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. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
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. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. PB usernames 6 digits, no 19 or 20s, no birthdates. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri.
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week -Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. NOTE: ATTENDED PRE FLEX DAY.
6. Medical: Dentist Apr 30 8 AM but check on meetings and RS. Onco Apr ???. PCP Schedule for July. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots?
7. Theater: Christie auditions 20-21 7 PM. Usher 24 6 PM.
8. House: Crawl space repairs. After that - siding? Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy new bikes and bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.

WFTY: Progress. So, the audition last night went well. I didn't land the part yet, but I did get called back! Callbacks are tomorrow night. So now there's waiting. Blehhhh.
School feels... off-kilter. I'm making significant changes this semester and it's going well but it isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be.3 -
@ZizzyBumble , @awhit4842 , @Kuhl50 y'all are doing a great job staying on task!
@AJB1014 So happy your preganancy is going well. You will be amazed at the many wonderful ways your life will and heart will expand in a few weeks. I'm glad you are aware of PPD and have a plan just in case. Wishing you the best!
@Snowflake1968 I hope you get your schedule sorted. I know it's hard making everything fit into a day. Good luck at the dentist and I hope the hip calms down.
@bookmeister86 You rocked it girl!

@kingscrown Good for you for coming here and stopping the gain before it gets worse!
I had a similar story—lost 70-80 pounds (didn’t measure much at the highest) back in 2007 and kept off 50 for many years. But the weight slowly kept adding on especially in the past 6 years and now I have 40 pounds to “re-lose”. This time am using the philosophy from the HalfSize Me podcast of focusing on maintenance...I know how to lose, but clearly I need to work on the daily habits I will knees to maintain the loss for good.
Good luck in your journey, this is a great group!3 -
@pridesabtch - just read your post about your daughter’s opening night. Horrible to have a clash like that and my heart goes out to you. Sometimes it feels like the moment you become a parent you sign up to a lifetime of guilt and worry (along with all the good stuff of course!)
So have a cyber hug 🤗 and know that this stranger across the pond thinks you are doing a brilliant job x3 -
