SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206
SW Year 2020: 182.6
1st GW: 185.4 Met this goal
2nd GW: 175 - and learn to maintain
Ultimate goal: 165-170, and maintainThese are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2020:2020
1. Lose 15 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 165, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a daySW: Jan 3: 185.42020 - March
SW Feb 1: 178 (-7.4 lbs)
SW March: 183.6 (I was down to 176.6. Then, spent 2 weeks emotionally eating, just not caring. Time to get serious, and remember how I lost weight, but more importantly, remember how I can easily gain weight!.March 8: 183.6March 24: 178.4 (Helps that I am not going to the grocery store LOL!
Mar 10: 180.6
March 15: 183.0 - my own fault .. 2 days of stress eating. Time to get serious
March 17: 181
Mar 20: 179.6 - work to maintain that this week, or lose another .5 pound
I set my goals while we are "shelter in place" and stuck at home:
1. sew as many face masks as I can
2. learn to play the keyboard
3. work on charity quilt
4. exercise at least 30-45 minutes, 4 days a week minimum
5. keep house tidy
JFT, Monday
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water -- I've been drinking more water, trying to only have 1 diet pepsi a day (Don't want to run out!!!)
3. work on face masks --- 25 face masks made yesterday!!
4. help hubby -- built PC boards -- Face masks were more important, and we are slow
5. rough cleanup of house in the morning
6. if nice out, go for a walk. If not , find another video to do -- Did not get this done. I sewed all day, until 10:30. Then I was SO tired. Oh ... wait, hubby and I did take a short walk -- 1 mile. (But he walks so slow, but at least I am getting him out!)
7. positive thoughts
JFt, Tues
1. build 3 boxes .. shipping tomorrow. We think this will be it for orders for a while
2. concentrate on water
3. sew up more face masks. Going to deliver these this weekend.. hoping to get 50-75 made.
4. clean house
5. rainy day today .... find exercise video
6. practice piano 15 minutes
7. call daughter. It was the hardest thing to do, but we asked her not to come out for 14 days. She keeps going to the grocery store... but I know she is not careful with wipping down the carts, washing her hands after handling groceries. We told her numerous times ... I have plenty of food here, but sunday she went to the store just to get ice cream. So we are making her wait 14 days. This is too serious not to ignore. We told her she can come out and we will sit outside, social distancing.
I hope this does not last long. It is hard to stay positive, and not get so scared and down. This is why I am doing whatever I can to keep busy.
@PackerFan001 -- a great time to get out that sewing. Trust me, it really does help to keep busy to keep from worrying. Plus, so many hospitals, nursing homes, etc really need face masks... so helping others along the way!
We can only control our actions ... we have so little control over what happens. Make the best of this time.
And ... I am watching the news ... they are singing Christmas Music!!!!
Here, we are all putting little teddy bears in our windows .. so kids can go on scavenger hunts. During these times, it is remarkable all the good that is also happening.🐰Let’s get Hop! Hop! Hopping!🐰

@TerriRichardson112 What a great song! Thank you for sharing! I haven't listened to music in weeks, and I think I need to turn off the TV (news) and begin listening to music. Working at home every day routine is a work in progress and there's another tweak I can make.
@mytime6630 Are you following a pattern off YouTube for the masks? I've been thinking of sewing some. I have a lot of cotton fabrics and a lot of flannel for next to the face, but don't know where to begin. I'm self taught and really pretty much suck at sewing, but I enjoy trying! My mom will be here by the end of the week living 8 blocks from here, so I see many sewing lessons in my future...
As you can see above, I suck at fitting in the things I don't necessarily enjoy doing after work. I feel like I should have all this time now to get all kinds of things done around here, but the truth is, I'm still working full time even though the location has changed...I don't have any more time than I did before. So, I need to find more structure in my day to schedule in the lymphedema therapies and the lymphedema & knee exercises I've been told to do.
I did actually make myself take Maddie for a walk last night after dinner and I was happy I did...so was she! I have a question for you guys....when you first started walking, how far or how long did you make yourself go? I feel like I'm not doing enough because I only walk for 30 minutes and only walk about 3 mph so only get in about 1.3 miles. that's not very far, very fast or very long, but I feel like that's all the further my knees let me go. Is it even helpful health-wise? My hope is that if I can make myself do it every day that my pace will get faster, distance further and time walking will be longer, but in the meantime I feel like a total wuss.
Well, best get some goals on here!
Just for Tuesday- Journal every single bite - good, bad & ugly
- Water - DRINK SOME! Seriously! Step away from the coffee and drink some freaking water!
- Take 15 minutes twice today to meditate or read something inspirational or just to chill and take some deep breaths. It's all going to be okay.
- Take time out to notice and be grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Take a moment and thank God.
- Walk Maddie
- Lymphatic massage & exercises
- Knee exercises
- Gentle chair yoga video
- Declutter clothes hanging in closet. Start donate box.
WOTY 2020: Persistence
Hang in there my friends! We will weather this storm and come out stronger than ever. Love to you all!

@PackerFanInGB Every single step you take is a step nearer to health and fitness. When first got my Fitbit I started by walking to the end of our road a couple of times a day and then worked up from there.
Then, when I had my knee replacement done in 2015, I could barely do 100 steps per day. I just walked further each day. I did it in short 5 minute walks every hour and increased it each day. It took a month to get above 1000 per day. I just kept increasing it every day. Often walking during ad breaks at night to reach my goal. Now I do 30-45 minute HIIT walking videos most days. It takes less time to reach my goal these days. I seldom have to walk during ad breaks at night anymore.3 -

I didn’t do any knitting today. @bex953172 thank you for your good wishes and I will post a picture of the finished effort. I hope you’re feeling better today.
It’s an odd sensation having moved back into my old room at my parents (I left to get married 33 years ago). Whilst I’ve stayed overnight recently, I’ve not brought enough to unpack and use wardrobe and drawer space before now. I appreciate my husband encouraging me to stay and support my parents but I miss him so much.5 -

These are going to the ER department in one hospital, but I am told the police need them, and 3 other hospitals. They want them for patients coming into the hospital .. dialysis patients, visitors (the ones allowed).

7. call daughter. Talked to her 2x. I think she now realizes how very important this is. We cannot take chances of either me or my husband getting sick, especially with his upcoming treatments. But we told her she can come out and sit in our patio .. social distancing.
@PackerFan001 -- Missouri Star Quilting has a great tutorial .. and they are super easy. I do not have elastic, so I am just making binding and sewing that on. (The binding is suppose to be 40" each side for ties)
JFT, Wed
1. shipping today, so have to help hubby some
2. go for a walk! Suppose to b e very nice outside!

Hey all. I'm not worrying about daily goals at the moment. I came down with a case of suspected Covid-19 so my goal is to take care of myself. I'll be okay, I'm young and otherwise healthy. Mostly exhausted, aside from the coughing garbage, and finding it hard to drag myself up to make food. I hope everyone stays healthy, or if they catch this, kick it quickly.8

@PackerFanInGB - The great thing about walking is that it's really flexible. When I started walking for exercise about 5 years ago, I aimed for 30 minutes at a comfortable pace 3 times a week. At first, it was really hard to make the time for it, but I soon found that I enjoyed having the time and space for myself. So now I plan most days so that I can fit in a walk. It really helps me deal with stress.3

By the time I got upstairs (did NOT get up by 9 as I intended) it was too late. For tomorrow I added it in all caps so that when I look at my list during the day I’ll remember...
Hope everyone is doing as well as can be.

Hi all, just read through the latest posts from everyone. So much stress for us all but also such a strong crew! 💪
I’ve been gone for a while just trying to stay on top of life! The weeks running up to UK school closures were hectic as we dealt with staff and kids becoming sick and desperately tried to get all the remote learning set up. Now I’m a designated key worker and expected to go in to school when rostered on. It’s a bit stressful because I am a single parent and therefore have to send my own children to their school while I work. I’m also tearing around buying groceries and supplies for my parents and my sister’s family (her daughter is severely disabled and has respiratory issues) who are all medically vulnerable.
Anyway, now we are on lockdown I am trying to get out for a run once a day, to stay calm and to do my bit to help wherever I can. Something like this puts everything in perspective.
Keep well and safe everyone xx

@mytime6630 - I love that you are participating in the teddy bear activity. We have the same thing here as well as an art walk. Kids have a different drawing to do each day and then you put it in the window for kids to see as they get out. My girls look forward to those walks everyday. 🐻

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of January: 194.6
End of February: 196.2
Today: 197.2
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. 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.
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: Google Hangout.
12. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. START BLOGGING AGAIN. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Progress. And it's not raining today! FINALLY!5 -
Slept in this morning, making up for too little sleep the night before. It's a drizzly day, but hopefully it will clear up in time to squeeze in a short walk before dinner.

I went again last night and I walked 0.5 mile further, 10 minutes longer and did it at a quicker pace according to Map My Walk app. It was your post (above) that I kept remembering when I pushed myself to go further and not turn around at my normal spot! Thank you for the encouragement! Also, thanks for the James Morrison song...love his music/voice! Your drawing...that is really pretty! You are quite the artist! Go Terri GO!beachwalker99 wrote: »@PackerFanInGB - The great thing about walking is that it's really flexible. When I started walking for exercise about 5 years ago, I aimed for 30 minutes at a comfortable pace 3 times a week. At first, it was really hard to make the time for it, but I soon found that I enjoyed having the time and space for myself. So now I plan most days so that I can fit in a walk. It really helps me deal with stress.
I always make a goal of taking a walk every night and then easily talk myself out of it. The kicker is, I really, really want it to be a daily thing! I want it to be a habit! So, I don't know why I sabotage myself all the time. So this week, I've made myself go the last 3 evenings whether I feel like it or not and I am finding the same thing...I enjoy the time and space by myself! I think it is helping me calm the anxiety building inside me during this "shelter in place" time...
@Faebert Nice to see you are doing okay! I worry when I don't see someone for a while. Stay well, my friend!asthesoapturns wrote: »Hey all. I'm not worrying about daily goals at the moment. I came down with a case of suspected Covid-19 so my goal is to take care of myself. I'll be okay, I'm young and otherwise healthy. Mostly exhausted, aside from the coughing garbage, and finding it hard to drag myself up to make food. I hope everyone stays healthy, or if they catch this, kick it quickly.
I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well! Take care of YOU. Goals can wait! HUGS!
@mytime6630 I did find the Missouri Quilt Company's tutorial on making the masks. Haven't watched it yet, but found it! I don't have elastic either. I have 1/2" but not 1/4"...I didn't think of using binding to tie. I think that's a great idea! Sending you love and prayers, Joan...for you, your husband, your son & family and your daughter!

Nice day today, but it's supposed to rain later. I think I'll try to get me and Maddie's walk in earlier than normal. If I miss that window because of work meetings, I guess I'll have to hop on treadmill or put on some music and do some aerobic dancing or something. Not going to miss a day of activity. I need to keep adding onto those bunnies!
Husband should be coming home tomorrow with the U-Haul and my mom, so I'll be happy to have this whole chapter behind us! I walked to my mom's new house yesterday and it's only 8 blocks! Takes me about 12 minutes to walk there, which sounds like a long time but my dog has to stop and smell every single mailbox you know....
I hope everyone is doing well. I found a chair yoga YouTube video that's really calming and listening to the Calm app is relaxing as well. I urge everyone to take some time for self-care as this is such a time of anxiety and uncertainty. Praying for everyone to stay healthy! xoxo

Hello, my JFTers! I hope you are well and taking good care of yourselves. Sorry I went MIA but social media and news were making me v anxious so I had to cut way back. Yesterday the WI Governor declared a Stay At Home order until April 24 for all non-essential businesses.
I'm currently working at home, but eventually will not have anything left to work on, since I don't have access to paper records or staff for inquiries, and don't have necessary, specialized software. Hubby goes to work, since he's Lead on 2nd shift cleaning crew at local VA Outpatient Clinic, and that scares me a bit. But we are following all the precautions, and doing what we can.
I seem to finally have found a rhythm with my days, and my mindset. Get to be with hubby more, once he wakes mid-mornings, so that's definitely a plus. I attend church by watching videos, and really miss my choir friends, especially as we have been preparing for upcoming Holy Week and Easter. I pray for courage to endure, and for health and safety for all my family and friends, including you!
I wake when the sun comes up (no alarm ~ yay) and have been walking dog longer than usual. She loves that, and even Kitty is a little clingy lately. Noticing lots of birds as spring arrives; have seen sandhill cranes, turkeys, pileated woodpecker, to name a few. Saw my first robin over a week ago, always a sign of spring here. Something new, I've enjoyed colorful chalk art with positive, uplifting messages on driveways in an adjacent neighborhood. Really brightens my day.
JFT W 3/25 ~ keeping things simple during stay at home order
1) Move hourly (pace if I have to) / 5 somethings (finally remembering) / rest day (no dog walk)
2) Net calories green / 14c water (not so good at this when sitting at home)
3) Work at home
4) Review tax returns / send requested documents / send electronic payment / wash towels / other?
5) Watch Lent service on video
6) Floss / retainers🐰Let’s get Hop! Hop! Hopping!🐰
🐰Hit your Daily Step Goal🐰
🐰Earn an Easter Bunny🐰
Name: Carmela
My daily bunny goal is 10,000 steps even though that's a stretch on rest or x-training days. Will be interesting to see total steps, hourly steps & floors, now that I'm not working in my third floor office.
Daily Step Goal: 10,000
