Have everything crossed for you @mytime6630. Big hugs x

@snowflake1968 - hope you’re feeling better post dentist. Well done on hitting nearly every goal

Hope everyone else is ok. Few people on here who have been ill - feel better soon!

I had a good day yesterday. Spent all day fighting the devil on my shoulder that told me to skip the gym and treat myself to a day in an empty house with all the snacks as I’ll be back at work soon and unable to do so! 😈 BUT I kept telling myself that if I do that I will not get back to where I want to be. And the 7-10lbs will become 14-20lbs and so on. For a minute there I let myself believe that I won’t be able to get back to the weight and fitness that I was last summer. But it’s totally possible, and I WILL do it and I deserve to look and feel like the woman I was then. So take that, devil on the shoulder!!!! 💪

An unexpected (nearly) green day yesterday. My friend agreed that we could eat first and meet later, so I saved lots of calories on dinner. I then decided not to drink alcohol (I was feeling a bit tired and had had a fuzzy head at various points in the day) so that saved even more calories. Finally, it turned out that the chocolate I'd bought for the trip home (to rewards myself for staying on track/avoid buying something bigger) had got left in the shop when I bought it (sob) so I didn't eat that either! So, a good day calorie wise.

Today is day 4/4 of eating out. Today's is lunch out for my new starter - a welcome lunch. I've planned what to eat - pad Thai - and now just have to resist having alcohol or prawn crackers alongside it. I will succeed!

Yesterday's goals:

- Track all food and drink

- Be within maintenance

Was nearly in the green!
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home

- 45+ min lunch break

- Print/email stuff for job applications

- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions

- Stay positive

- Train home by 10pm

- Gratitude journal

Today's goals:

- Track all food and drink
- Be within maintenance
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home

- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Stay positive

- Finish by 5.30pm
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- List fun activities to do
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11

@mytime6630 Crossing my fingers that you get good news today xx

Thursday January 30

I’ve done my logging for yesterday and I scrapped into the green

I’m having lunch out today so that will be another challenge; January has involved a lot of meals out so I’m still hanging on to some of my festive gain. I saw a motivational card that read:

A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips

Log
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg

JFT Wednesday 29th January

Log everything ✔
Stay under 1500 cals scraped in at 1480 cals, but a bit of guesswork involved.
Back exercises did the standing ones, not the lying down
Be positive ✔
Bags to charity shop/parents errands did errands, but walked to shops, so couldn't carry the bags
Walk just 20 minutes

Made cup cakes yesterday for Dad's birthday. As the baker I had to test one

Only one though.
This was probably not the best week to start logging again, the next 4 days all have celebrations involving food and cake.

JFT Thursday 30th January

Scale goals

End of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
Today: 195.2

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut

1. 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: 1984 auditions 27-28 6:30.
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.
11. Family: Find cousin photos.

WFTY: Progress. Yesterday's longish run really wiped me out. And it wasn't even 4.5 miles. How the heck am I ever going to manage a half-marathon? *grumble*

teigansdad · January 2020

Yesterday
1.trainer ✅
2. Water ✅
3. Calories ✅
4. P90 ❌
5. Work goals ❌
6. No booze ✅

Yesterday was a tough one... busy day at work. Stayed late. Got some stressful news that my schedule might be changing.. this comes up at least yearly but in 15 years has stayed the same. Little worried as year it seems like its gains more steam. Spent a lot of time on phone w/ my friend (it impacts the two of us the hardest) trying to brainstorm ideas to stay ahead of it.

The above made me miss the group ride I planned on & left no time for p90. I signed up for a harder workout on the trainer I knew I didn’t have the legs for and ended up bailing and just doing a free ride for 20 miles. I hate it when I end up bailing during a workout. So hard for me to not going down a rabbit hole of negativity

Oh well....
Goals for today:
Stay positive
Hang with wife after work
Stay under calorie goal
No booze
Sufferfest
Water

HEGoddard0928 · January 2020

Okay! So I'm back to update and replies! Sitting in gym class. Lol.

So I was off from work yesterday due to illness. It was strange. I was so drained that I couldnt wake up in the morning and was just seriously sick to my stomach all day. I'm feeling better today but still not great. I'm still a little naseaous but I definitely have more energy than I did.

I have a list of things I have to do today as my list above says but I dont know if I'll have the energy to actually do it all. So send up some prayers that I can actually get some stuff done today!

@mytime6630 I hope you get an answer soon! Prayers going up for you and your hubby, my friend!

@Bex90210 @PackerFanInGB Missing you guys! I hope you two are doing okay!

@teigansdad Good for you that you got some kind of exercise in! Even if it was a freee ride! At least it was something. You didnt just give up and do nothing! Also, awesome job about not having any beer! I know that's a hard one for you. Keep up the awesome work!

@aubyshortcake I totally understand how you feel! I get an attack of the munchies every night!

@clicketykeys 4.5 miles isnt any to shake a stick at! That's an awesome run! If you keep at it you'll get to that goal soon enough!

cschmitz110515 · January 2020

Recap W 1/29 ~ Didn't feel like walking treadmill, still got up early and instead x-trained before work
1) X-trained (weights/circuit) = happy me

2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 7,664 steps, 250+ 13/14 (lost track one lousy hour) & 31 floors

3) Meals (mostly) & snacks prelogged / net calories zero / 14c water = Evening snacking again ~ ack!

Net cals -253

, sodium -774

, sugar green 1

, fiber & protein excellent (of course!), 14c water
4) Email for BC-CC add'l records

/ draft APG for current/future ref / cleared some more of inbox

5) Evening: bake salmon & veggies

/ wash dishes

/ make apple crisp for dept food day Th

/ prep lunch & clothes for workplace lunchtime hike

/ other? called mom & dad for final F plans

/ read

6) Unplug 9:00

/ FLOSS

/ RETAINERS

/ bed & no tv 10:00

upstairs 10, no tv, in bed 15-20 min. later (treadmill Th before work)

JFT R 1/30 ~ skipped treadmill before work but at least have workplace hike today at lunchtime
1) Change clothes & leave on time (Sue changed location) for hike
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
3) Food day in office ~ be picky & take small portions / net calories zero / 14c water
4) Evening: choir 6:30 / put clean dishes away / bday cards for mom & sister / other?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & no tv 10:00 (treadmill before leaving town F)

Yesterday I read tips on why you're not losing the weight. One that resonated for me was focus on the process (vs. the scale) and the outcome will follow. The process is all the little steps that lead to the desired outcome. Sage advice.

My process this week has sucked. I'm not in the workout routine I would like, although I know I can't outrun a bad diet. I have eaten a piece of hubby's bday cake every day (I do log as part of Good/Bad/Ugly), and had evening snacking.

Tomorrow is my mom's 83rd birthday, and I will celebrate with family over lunch at restaurant. Have previewed online menu, not much for healthy choices. Pretty sure my sister will bring cake. Since I will have total car time of 3 hours, I'm planning to walk 3 miles on treadmill before I leave home.

I have Friday off work but hubby doesn't, so he won't be going... we won't see each other until Sat. (since Wed. at my lunch hour). Sad me. Sorry for long post ~ just needed to vent a little.

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

@Bex90210 @PackerFanInGB Missing you guys! I hope you two are doing okay!

I'm missing you too! I simply HAVE to make logging onto JFT with goals in the morning and again later to check in a priority! I have been really busy at work and haven't had time to hop on and have been eating emotionally so that makes me embarrassed and mad at myself, so then I don't want to log it. Just that vicious circle I am in again. But I'm determined this will be my year. So today is a new day.

@mytime6630 Have you heard from the doctor yet?

@bookmeister86 Thinking of you. I always feel such a kinship to you when I think about how work was for me before I found this new job. xoxo HUGS.

@maryrobinson40 So happy to see your posts! You put a smile on my face every time!

@Faebert How are you feeling? Are you still off work post-op? Everything healing okay? I hope you are doing well!

Tomorrow my husband and I are going to my mom's to help her find a realtor and get her house on the market. We have started looking for homes up here near us, so she is in the process of getting pre-approved for mortgage. Things are moving fast and it's a bit stressful, if I'm going to be honest. It's a big deal to try to find someone else a house you think they will like! I'm trying to keep up at work also.

I got chosen to be in a 10 week challenge at work for wellness. I think I mentioned it a week or so ago in a post. I'm getting nervous about that too. What if I can't do it? I'm going to be so embarrassed for my employer and my other 2 teammates! How am I going to do a yoga class when I couldn't even get up off our living room floor last night because of knee pain? I think I'm in over my head and starting to panic a bit.

I guess I will do what I have to and take it one day at a time, right? Just for today...

Just for today/Thursday:
Today I will log every bite
Today I was avoid added sugar, flour and dairy
Today I will be conscientious of my choices...this is for my health and well-being. This is NOT just another diet!
Today I will drink more water and log every ounce
Today I will reach my step goal
Today I was adopt an attitude of gratitude and peace.
Tonight I will pack for weekend trip to mom's and get to sleep early.

Word of 2020: Persevere

TerriRichardson112 · January 2020

Suddenly found out mid morning that the funeral of the husband of my friend Pat was at 12 noon today. Fortunately, I was nearby and was able to quickly rearrange my day to give her some support. David was a member of our U3A choir. I sang with the choir up until 3 years ago, and he sang with the tenors in the row behind me. He had serious heart problems a couple of years ago, and had a bypass last year. He sang a beautiful solo at our November 2019 Monthly Meeting, and now he's gone. He lived a full life, and was pottering in his garden when he died. Not entirely unexpected with his recent health issues, but a shock neverthe less.

Make the best of every day. You never know how many you have left.

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

Food: log All food and drink; stay under goal; balance macros/micros; Hydrate adequately; NLNS!!!
Exercise: Knee Physio; 7,500+ Steps daily; 30 + minutes intentional exercise

@vermontrebecca6929

Need to rethink 100 oz of water goal b/c I was up 5x during the night. Once I shift my workouts to first thing in a.m. I’ll have 64 oz done by noon. plus, built in walking breaks (to and from bathroom, even better if I throw in a flight of stairs) breaks up long stretches of sitting at computer working.

My doctor told me that 64 ozs of liquids was all that was needed. He suggested using the 'pee' test. If your pee is pale i.e. Straw coloured, you are good to go. The body just eliminates the excess liquid, hence your nocturnal bathroom treks.

Well done in adding in short walking breaks when doing desk work. I try to make sure I move about a little every hour or so, and even walk during ad breaks in the evening when watching TV.

JFT THURSDAY
I GOT UP WITH A MADE UP MIND AFTER YESTERDAY'S FAUX PAU... 4a.m. up and at it.
Driving(SDH) pick him up, take him to work and drive back home.(I do this morning and afternoons when I have to use his car for errands. Which has been all week this week)
Anyhoo...
Back home about 5:15 a.m.
Remained in the car until I got my body together, then got out and walked before bus stop time. Put little man on his bus, got a cup of coffee... I'm almost weaned. I think I should be cured in another week. Fingers crossed... Lol. Yeah... I'm not depending on those fingers... More like mouth closed to not drink any 😆
Did girls hair, out the door at 7:55. Drove to pick up my grandson and daughter, dropped the kids at school then on to my SDH job to get his card for gas, to the gas station, to daughter's doctor appointment where I made use of waiting by walking.
Made calls, answered emails, while waiting.
I got an unction in my spirit with a specific name while waiting and when my daughter came back to the car I talked to her about the person and my daughter happened to have that person's number and we called. She, the person we called burst into tears because I thought about her. She confirmed every word that I had told my daughter before we made the call. My daughter was amazed. I said, anyone with a relationship with Christ Jesus has that connection if they tune in and take time to listen and wait. BY FAITH, ASK, SEEK, and KNOCK is the formula in the Scriptures that we're instructed to use. Anyway, I told the woman to text me her address because we both were at appointments in different places at the same time she had gotten finished with hers and she was at home. So I went directly to her house. She was all to pieces. She had been in depression because of her mother's death and she felt she didn't have anyone to vent to that would truly listen and hear her heart. I listened, I hugged her, and as I held her close, I prayed in her ear. She wept to almost the state of collapse. When I finished she smiled. I told her I would be back to see her. I took my daughter to get her something to eat and then we waited because it was close to time to pick up SDH... After he came and got in the car, he vented about the job as we traveled to school to get a good spot in the pick up line as we waited for my grandson and school to dismiss. Then I drove to McDonald's to get my grandson's nugget happy meal. I drove to my house where I live, got out and came inside to post. And I'm thinking about taking another brief walk to help my total for today. Whew!!😊

I'm icing my knees down from all the walking I was blessed to do

My Mommy passed away 2004. I was at work that day when I got the news. Sometimes I need her so much.
