So far eating under maintenance (not quite as low as “1 pound/week” target, though hungry a lot because restaurant food is fatty so you get less for your calories. Have dedicated time to exercise and sleep, though that makes me “dull, poor sport” etc because I’m not up for late night drinks.
Can’t remember if I already posted Monday’s results, so here are Monday and Tuesday , with the plan for tomorrow, Wednesday:

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

Hi There
I’ve been on MFP for over a year and not really have been consistent with. I have at least 15- 20 pounds to lose. My health and self esteem is suffering. What do I do to join your group?
Welcome to the group.
Just post your daily goal(s) then report back how you did on them.3 -
JFT - Tuesday Feb 11

@littleblackskirt - I’ve done those types of moves many times and they grow tiring very fast! How much longer before you move?
@maryrobinson40 - I love you bunches too!
@zizzybumble - I’m there with you. We can do this.
@packerfaningb - I think that’s a good way to look at it. I just can’t do it all and post for myself. Another problem for me is I’m trying to be more present with Rodger and sitting on my phone interacting on here makes me feel like I’m ignoring him.
I am so tired all the time lately, but I end up waking up throughout the night every night. Very frustrating.6 -
Hello team,
Had a very productive day. After a couple cancellations, I decided to tackle the monster report I made a small dent in yesterday. I was able to finish it! I was so happy it was DONE. There were dozens of pages of outside documents I had to integrate, so it just took forever. I was worried after yesterday's splurge and my DietBet being done I'd be tempted to break, but I was able to stick to healthy eating. I'm noticing how much more energy I have. Not like a surge of extra energy, but I just have more stamina for the day than I used to. Pretty cool. I looked up recovery time for rib muscle sprain today, and it can be up to 3-7 WEEKS! Ugh. Hopefully sooner than that.
@maryrobinson40 I am sending good weather vibes your way! Seriously it's time for some sun!
@teagansdad What kind of beans do you use in your wrap? That sounds tasty! Tomorrow is a new day
@HEGoddard0928 Glad to hear the news about your taxes, that had to be a relief!
@zizzybumble I can understand that letdown. Is there something you can give yourself credit for doing? It's easy to put a lot of our worth into that number.
@snowflake1968 and @packerfaningb I hate that pressure to read every post and comment and I've been there. I say, use the group as it works for you, and comment when you have the time and energy.
Just for Today-Tuesday
Finish all February notes ❌ Tackled the report instead
Finish 1/2 report ✅ YES!

@jeschepp, when I injured my ribs it took about 5 weeks for recovery. Hope you recover soon!Snowflake1968 wrote: »

@Snowflake, snap! I could have written this, it's so frustrating isn't it? I was getting up this morning and thinking I was lazy (used to get up very early for work) and then realised, actually, I'm just tired. Every morning.
I'll get the keys to my new place in about 3/4 weeks time
Have a good day!

JFT Tuesday 11th February
Eat under maintenance really don't know
Back exercises no
Be positive yes
Housework yes
Get back into the attic for more clearing out no, but did empty and move a large piece of furniture. Also sorted all the boxes, so happy with what I did manage.
I felt rubbish yesterday, i think I snacked 3 times, and didn't feel good after. Then didn't really feel hungry for a meal in the evening. Proof positive that what I eat influences my health! Still find it hard to manage though.
JFT Wednesday 12th February
Eat under maintenance
Back exercises
Be positive
Dye my hair
No walking again today, it is VERY icy. Now I know my bones aren't up to scratch I'm scared of falling and breaking something.

Morning! I forgot to post yesterday, but it was a good/busy day.
JFT WEDNESDAY:
- substitute for 4th grade
- Dishes
- Laundry
- meal prep a couple dishes
- Stay green
Congrats to all of you in the Valentine’s challenge to stay green! I haven’t prioritized my time to go for walks so that makes it really difficult to stay in my calorie goal. I usually go over by a tiny bit. Not too much damage, but I prefer to see that number in the green!3 -
Morning gang
@jeschepp my work lunch recipe is simple: mixed black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans (usually have 1 to 1.5 cup if no meAt added) w/ mushroom, premixed shredded kale salad (no dressing),harris teeter or Lowe’s foods fresh salsa and usually 4 ozs of chicken (from dinner left overs). If Harris teeter has the fresh mixed sprouts I’ll add those too. Usually works out to around 500 calories but it’s filling and super nutritious
Tuesday goals
Completed!
Wednesday
500 or more calories in green
Sufferfest and p90
Make dinner after work
Call little brother and wish happy birthday
No beer or booze

-February goal 😁
-Log all my food😁
-Gym😭 It was gross and cold and rainy out and I just wanted to be home. I ended up visiting with my Dad for a little while and then taking a nap.
-2 chapters😭 I just had NO focus for it and the next chapter is going to be difficult to write due to some hard character interactions that need to happen
-Actually make dinner😁 Baked chicken breast with garlic salt and Italian seasonings and mashed potatoes
-Load dishwasher😭 Just couldnt be bothered. Lol.
Not feeling so hot today. If the teacher wasnt out today I probably would have stayed home. I have a persistant headache, a slightly upset tummy and a possible fever. Definitely not a happy combination.
I'm going to keep my goals light today I think.
JFT, 2/12/20
-Log all my food
-February challenge
-Read ch + write 1 ch
-Load the dishwasher
-Figure out dinner
I think that's all I'm going to do today. Hopefully I'm feeling better tomorrow.6
