Eat under maintenance yes
Back exercises no
Be positive yes
Laundry yes
Pack some more boxes yes
Yesterday was a nice quiet day mostly spent on my own. No overeating at all
Today will be much the same, nothing exciting happening, and weather too horrible to go out for pleasure. We still have flooding all round about, so another day spent mostly inside.

I FINALLY DID IT! I’ve had a goal of reaching 140 for a long time. I joined MFP after my 3rd baby was born (over 6 years ago). I was on and off for a while, but 2 years ago I got serious. I wasn’t perfect and I took a few breaks, but I am confident now in this as a lifestyle change. I will continue losing because I still have fat to lose, but today I celebrate the journey and honor the work it took to get here. 💕
Original weight: 180lbs
Last week’s weight: 141.0
Current weight: 140.0🥳
Now on to today’s goals. I was too tired yesterday and hardly got anything done so I have some catching up to do.
JFT MONDAY:
- Singing for a funeral
- Grocery store
- Dishes
- Laundry
- Get the house in order
- Stay green
- MUST FINISH YEARBOOK PICTURES - DUE TODAY!!!8 -

-February goal 😁
-Laundry 😁It's still sitting in a bag to be folded though. Lol
-Cook taco meat for lunches 😁
-Prep some salads 😭
-Dishwasher😁
-Write 2 chapters😭 Only a half of one. And that was like pulling teeth. I hope I can finish it today and move on. I need to get this thing done!
How is everyone today? Well I hope! I'm feeling a little stuffy and have a slightly scratchy throat but that's about it. Hopefully it doesnt get any worse.
Nothing much to report at the moment to be honest. I was in the green yesterday though. It was the first time all weekend. I prelogged a bunch of what I want to eat today and I'm only at 850 calories so I need to figure out something else to eat. I'll see what else I can find.
Onto some goals

Yesterday was odd. I spent more time at work than I had planned and it bumped a few things off my list. Giving the clothes away felt good because there was a need I could fill, but at the same time it was depressing. It's like I've accepted that I'll never be back there again. I did keep two regular dresses, two special occasion dresses and one blouse plus my race tops from my half marathons (and bras/bikinis, she isn't as well endowed as I). I had no idea I had so many clothes stored back. I guess it's fun to shop when you feel good about yourself. Who am I kidding, I have too many clothes now also, I just don't necessarily feel pretty in them. I keep buying things hoping to make me feel good when the only thing that will is losing weight.

Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others?

WFTY: DEPTH
Depth Year - UpdatesI 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.Daily Goals
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.
- Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
- Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
- Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
- 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.
- 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
- Other: Daily Mindfulness Practice/Meditation; Practice Self-care; Positively reframe thoughts; Live! Love! Learn!; 15 mins Daily Declutter session; keep up to date with chores
Daily Goals:🌟

Hi everyone,
I have read and caught up yet again. We had three Grands this weekend and they played me out! I need to get back in shape since I’ll be having them more often for the foreseeable future.
I was in the red all weekend. I hope that I’ve behaved better today, I still need to log my food for the day.
JFT - Tuesday Feb 11
Log all food
Calories in green
2L of water
I’m trying to find time to do this daily and haven’t figured it out yet. It’s frustrating me, I was faithfully interacting in this group for well over a year and I know it works for me when I’m consistent. I need to get back to the daily commitment of posting and updating my goals AND start interacting more again.

Hello everyone,
Today was a bit of an up and down day-some good sessions, some tough sessions, too much paperwork. But the best part was that I finished and WON my DietBet! 4 weeks of very clean eating with a goal of losing 7 lbs and I was able to lose 11! I am very proud of myself. It was NOT easy. Tonight I splurged and got a pizza and it was amazing. I was also able to notice how much more bready it tasted and how lethargic I felt afterward. Amazing to think how eating fast food most days was impacting me. Anyway, my goal for the remainder of February is to try and maintain within a 5lb range. I don't mind if I lose weight, because I'll be eating pretty healthy, but my goal is to not gain any. With my rib pain, I don't think I'll be exercising anytime soon, so I'm making peace with that. Hope everyone survived their Monday!
@maryrobinson40 Motivational Mary, we call you
