Hi hi fellow motivated/ing individuals! Just discovered this awesome thread and am pumped to join in for some much-needed accountability. Let’s crush these goals!
JFT March 9:
1. >= 100g protein
2. >= 1510 cal
3. 2x stretch sessions
4. Test run 1 mile (no more)
5. Ice -> heat my shin 2x
I’m an amateur triathlete who started her first full-time job last September — and I’ve been figuring out how to build a healthy & balanced lifestyle in this new environment. I let myself go up several pounds in favor of focusing on other things that are important to me, but I can’t wait to kill the shred game again and be amazed my physique.
Thanks for the support

Good morning all! Last week before Spring Break and it'll be a busy one wrapping up some work and prepping for my trip. Didn't get much done over the weekend, but I did get outdoors and spent some time relaxing with family. I even got to bed early last night despite the time change.
Started setting goals today and then had some of them derailed by the pool guy showing up to pressure test the system. DH set up the appointment but forgot to send me the details. Fortunately, I was home to turn on the water line to the outdoor spigot. No leak in the underground line (very good news) but we'll have to wait until we open the pool in May to see why we see why the water level seems to be dropping faster than normal.
So no gym. Missed my calorie goals this weekend, but stayed around maintenance, so the damage shouldnn't be too bad. Maybe I can squeeze in a walk after class today.
JFT Goals for Monday, March 9, 2020
• Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit
• Walk outdoors 30+ min
• Dog to vet
• Grading!!!
• LMS updates
• Online course HW
• Plants (bulbs in porch planters)
• Start gathering items to pack
And of course, wind down and get to bed on time!5 -

Do you know when she's back from snowboarding?
I think she's on vacation all this week. Pretty sure she's not snowboarding. A snowbird is a northerner spending time in a southern, warmer area during winter.

@Bex953172 @cschmitz110515 That made me laugh so hard! I guess snowbirding isnt a thing in the UK! Thank you for the wonderful laugh! Lol
@mytime6630 I hope you and hubby are doing alright. Have there been any symptoms popping up due to the hormone therapy?

@TerriRichardson112 Shamrock me, please (3/8/20)!
I'm currently sitting out in the sun sweating a bit. Lol. It feels amazing! The temperature for today is supposed to reach 70! In the middle of March! In the Mid-Atlantic! What the heck? I WILL not complain though! I have all the windows open in my house to get some nice cross breezes and fresh air. I walked the length of my driveway for a bit of exercise and I think I might do it again in a little while. It's just waaaay too nice to spend the day inside. I think Spring has come early this year. It's not supposed to get belorw 50 degrees the next two weeks. And a few of those days will be in the 60's. So I think I might be spending more time outside.
I got a text message this morning from one of the other Paras in my class asking for my address. She said that they were sending me a little something. I can't wait to see what it is! I miss my students so much! I miss my job so much! Lol.
Tomorrow is Matt's birthday. I have to run to the store to pick him up a few things. I completely forgot about that so I guess I should probably get up and do that now.
So on to some goals,
JFT, 3/9/20

Please check that I haven’t missed any shamrocks.
Just to clarify things, being in the green means being under or at your calorie goal for the day. If you are under goal, you get a green figure, hence ‘in the green’. You decide your own calorie goal.

@jeschepp Thanks. The test will be tomorrow. I got as much as I could done for our big event Sunday, while my supervisor was still in the building. I will pass on as much of the day to day work to the third in our department while I continue event prep. I expect push back. Luckily for me, I'm feeling stubborn this week.asthesoapturns wrote: »

Well I didn’t make all the goals but I made some and I worked on it so that’s a start.
It was so nice that there was daylight until almost 8. Sucked that it was dark getting up again, but that will change in another week or two. This time change energizes me. I’m just waiting for warmer weather then I’m going to get out walking!

Yesterday was a pretty bad day. Got pretty stressed out by work and as such forgot to eat breakfast???? This never happens. As such, couldn't go to the gym at lunch (didn't think attempting to burn 600 calories on 0 calories was a great idea) but instead went for a calming walk on the canal. I then did a small workout in the evening.
My stress meant that all my plans for the evening went out for the window a bit as I decided to prioritise self care - I had a bath and watched some funny shows (and had some wine). Ended up in the green with a small deficit.
Today will be very busy, I am in meetings back to back from 9.30 till 6. But hopefully it will be busy rather than stressful. The thing with yesterday was, because it was my only empty day (with the other days having lots of meetings), I felt under pressure to get a lot done and when it wasn't working out as planned I felt rather overwhelmed. Today, I know I can't do anything as I'm in meetings, so I just have to sit through them
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green with a deficit
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
I did one
- Positive affirmations
Forgot about this
- Finish work by 7pm
- Quality time (no phones)
- Talk to boyfriend in French
- French book
- Pick up godson present
- Laundry
- Gratitude journal
- Lights off by 11
Today's goals
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- Take regular ‘breathe/ reframe’ breaks at work to manage emotions
- Positive affirmations
- Finish work at 6pm
- Pack stuff for running
@TerriRichardson112 here are my updated shamrocks!
