    Today is hubby's 60th birthday (yes, I am older than he is :wink: ), so I left a note for when he got home from work after midnight. To him, it's just another day. We will only spend my lunch hour together as usual for a weekday. Anyway, we celebrated with his traditional bday dinner/cake & presents & cards last Sunday. He was happy with that.

    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

    Thank you! Hopefully in a few days when my body forgets the 1-day of abandon and gets back on the program I can feel better about it!

    Happy Tuesday to all!

    Monday 27 January

    Log :)
    Stay in the green :)
    5 fruit and veg :)
    Water :)
    Fitbit exercise goals :)

    A good start to the week and I avoided a very tempting glass of wine. I can’t believe that January is nearly finished - I won’t meet my monthly target for weight loss >:)

    Hey Sis... You're not alone. I won't meet my monthly goal either. But, I'm still determined, and on fire and doing what I can.
    We Are In This Together... Hugs

    Thank you Mary, I’ll continue to plod on and accept small amounts of progress. I know you will persevere with your journey. You offer great support and encouragement to everyone on here.

    5 fruit and veg :)
    Water :)
    Fitbit exercise goals :) And the housework added to my energy expenditure!

    Today is a housework day, not my favourite activity! I’ve a long list of tasks to complete so I’d better get started.
    I didn’t complete the list but the kitchen is sparkling :) I will complete the downstairs tomorrow.

    I'm hanging out with my friend Donna's son today while she's up North at a hospital. Her dad is having open heart surgery. Apparently there have been a few complications so please keep the family in your prayers.

    Hanging out with a kid(well man really. He's 23) with Down's is definitely interesting. Lol. I've known him since he was about 6. He's grown up into a great person. I can't believe how old he is now. Does seeing your friend's kids grow up get any easier? I know that's probably a dumb question. Lol.

    I kinda want to kill Matt at the moment too. He threw his back out on Sunday. It seemed to be better yesterday so he went to work. And then when he went back this morning he was in pain. He left about a half an hour before his shift was over and drove home. However, he didnt text me when he got home. So he last thing I heard from him was that he was in incredible pain and was on his way home. And then nothing for almost two hours. Not a single word. I texted him a whole bunch of times and called him but he never answered. I finally had to call my parents to go knock on the door and check on him.

    I know it was pretty irrational on my part but when your husband and the love of your life says that to you and then is incommunicado from almost 2 hours your mind can come with all sorts of irrational things.

    But he's alive. He was just sleeping, not laying on the floor somewhere crippled. Lol.

    So that's been my afternoon so far. Lol. How has everyone else's been?

    I said a prayer and bless you too Sis. I love you

    I've been mentally convincing myself that I need to take control, and getting used to the idea that I will be reducing my calories. I have been getting more work booked in for the summer, well from May on, and I know it's much easier if I'm slimmer.

    So JFT Tuesday 28th January

    Not sure I can face 1200 calories yet, so stay below 1500
    Log everything
    Back exercises
    Be positive
    Check tax position online
    Weigh myself for "starting weight"
    A housework day here too

    No walk today as it's snowy/icy outside.

    That’s a great idea to stay under 1500. Like you I find the idea of 1200 again so daunting.

    HELLO!

    I am so glad to be back in action. I was laid up the last week with influenza. Ended up going to the ER in the middle due to a fever that wouldn't go down and an elevated heart rate that also would not go down. Miserable! I am feeling a million times better and back at work, but I have a terrible cough. Being a therapist, this is hard because I talk all day, but I'm doing the best I can and I feel a little better each day. Because of this, I am modifying my health goals. I don't feel comfortable totally restricting calories when I'm just getting better. So I am sticking as close as I can to healthy eating, but listening to my body if I need to eat more than my diet plan allows. With my awful cough and decreased energy, that also means that exercise is out until I'm feeling stronger. So that's where I"m at. I have been keeping up on the posts, but wasn't up to responding until today.

    @Faebert I will say that was an amazing cake! I also liked your comment about working towards your "happiest weight"
    @snowflake1968 I can absolutely relate to you. I had a similar situation where I gained back a bunch of lost weight over the last six months, and it was so hard to own up to the fact that I was not taking care of myself and needed to make changes. But know that you are never a disappointment and never a failure. This is hard, and especially hard to keep up for so long. Remember we are here to support you and accept you as the fantastic woman you are, just as you are right now.
    @pridesabtch I am so sorry you're feeling sick! Take care of yourself and I hope you're feeling better soon.
    @bookmeister86 Pizza is my ultimate weakness too! Tomorrow is a new day :)
    @HEGoddard0928 Way to crush those goals!
