I had a 'bad' weekend with no logging (and definitely went over both days) and not much exercise. Weight was up on Monday - WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO COME OFF BUT GOES BACK ON SO FAST???
Anyway, back to healthier eating now and exercise.
Goals for today
๐Log everything and stay green
๐Exercise 40m minimum
๐Catch up on ToDo list
๐Gardening with the kids
Hope you're all well.
Bye for now,

Have blessed day y'all!
Lots of misses yesterday, but I finished in the green so I'm okay with it. Totally over this project. It's a little overwhelming with the new scope. It's also something that is much easier to do on site and I'm home today. It's gross outside so any exercise will be indoors today, but I gotta do something. Trainer or Peleton??? Leaning towards Peleton. If I can catch a break in the weather I'll walk as well.Really focusing on my eating lately, not eliminating anything, just watching portions.

Hi all, I hope everyone is having a good week!
Over the weekend I did a lot of thinking about my eating habits and why I'm so anxious and keep overeating almost every night, and I think a lot of it has to do with counting my calories.
I've always loved food, and I have OCD, so I think combining all that with calorie counting has been leading me to obsess over food and start to get a lot of anxiety over it and the thought of failing, which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I've been counting my calories and weighing my food on MFP for 7 years, and when I first started it was like a miracle, the weight just fell off. It lasted about a year and since then has crept up to the halfway point and just stayed there, even though I've still been logging - because I then sabotage myself and overeat.
They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, right? So maybe it's time to try something new. I'm going to try this without counting calories, and just actually paying attention to how hungry I am, because as of right now I don't do that. I do not have a good relationship with food and a pretty messed up body image, so I'm hoping maybe this will help fix it.
I may not post daily goals but I still plan on popping in to say hi, you've all been so supportive and I'd like to remain a part of this group with you all. I'm both excited and terrified.. here goes nothing.9 -
JFT Wednesday
1. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Balance work. Feed cats. Meds. Tea!
2. Check email. Write everything down before it goes in the mouth. AM run: 5 miles. Call ER. Call sleep study. Email school about Book Thief. Fold laundry / incense.
3. Answer student emails. Pack snack. Protein bar. Soda.
4. Lunch: bibimbap. Yoga with core/balance work. Write a letter. Fix headphones.
5. Review papers by desk. File or trash.
6. Color! Check green room for paintbrushes and donations.
7. Drink more water. No, more. Keep the pitcher in the fridge full. You're not actually hungry. Make some tea. Drink more water!
8. Writing: Album post. Message Z.
9. Gratitude journal. Therapy exercises: lunges, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Meds. Floss, rinse, brush teeth. ACORN TRIAL ENDS MAY 27. Check on free NAIE membership? Tuesday garden; leave by 9:35. Thursday school.
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
End of March: 193.8
End of April: 192.6
Today: 194.0
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. 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? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
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 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. Today went much better. Focus for tomorrow is the run, phone calls, getting laundry put away, and making sure I can get to my copy of The Book Thief. I may ask my husband to fix the headphones.4 -
Hi! My first post. I read a lot of your posts and you guys are very encouraging. I got back on MFP 2 days ago, and honestly logged my food and exercise. Over each day. So, I will wake up again tomorrow and try again.
Thanks for posting! You encourage me!7 -
I didn't get goals posted today, but want to be accountable for my day, so I'm going to list what I did succeed in doing today...
Just for Today, I :
*did get 30+ minutes of intentional activity
*did NOT eat ice cream
*did drink >64 oz water
*used Stevia and unsweetened vanilla almond milk in coffee instead of creamer
*lymphedema massage of right arm x2
*listened to podcasts - Joyce Meyer, Phit 'n Phat and Half Size Me
*did NOT eat the garlic bread with dinner
*did eat 6+ servings of raw veggies
*did stay in the green for calories
*did NOT watch the news
*stayed off off Facebook...
I'm getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow morning...first time since February 18th. I am so excited to get rid of this white/gray/silver stripe down the middle of my head! I had no idea that my hair had gotten as gray as it is! If I knew I wasn't going back to work and I was retiring, I'd leave it silver and grow it out. But I haven't heard anything one way or the other, and I don't want to go back to work like this, so...
Hope everyone had a great day! I'm watching The Voice finale right now, so going to sign off!
See you tomorrow!6 -

@aubyshortcake. I hope you find a systems that works for you long-term. I've been doing intermittent fasting 16:8 but, if you can deal with the 5:2 approach you don't need to count calories. Good luck with what you decide to do!

Stay greenโ
Pick up shredded lettuce for tacos tonightโ
1 hr tempo rideโ
No beer todayโ
No m&msโ
All goals went well yesterday. Mother Nature had a nice laugh at me... with the torrential down pour here I got to find s design flaw in part of my patio and my hard work from two weeks ago was rewarded with some of the sand base washing out gonna have to repair it this weekend if the rain ever stops.
Itโs only about 8 pavers that need to be re-leveled. Plus need to build a drain that diverts water from walkway to patio so doesnโt happen again. I suspect itโll be only about a 4 hr job but still frustrating.
Anyway todayโs goals:
Stay green
No beer
No m&ms
FTP intervals... race was cancelled so want to do a harder effort workout in its place
15 quality full extension pull-ups
There are other things I could add but gonna keep it simple today

@aubyshortcake I think you are being smart trying something different. Seems like your prior approach was not sustainable for you or at least not spiritually healthy if leading to anxiety. I also am one to easily become a self sabotaging person. I feel like there is a point I can hit where Iโm like โwell you are already in the red... may as well enjoy itโ.. what Iโm working on is trying to accept that as just for the day it was and not let myself fall into a rabbit hole of negativity and self destructive behavior. For me the daily goals help me keep things in perspective and โ or โ the following day acts as a reset button if you will.
What ever approach you settle on just remember a bad day is just that.. a bad day. It doesnโt define who you are. This is as much a message to myself as to you. Good luck sister ๐6 -

@aubyshortcake I am much the same, at first it was a numbers game I enjoyed playing, then it became unhealthy. I took some time off and came back with a different attitude. I'm still working on it obviously.
Best of luck on your journey. Keep us updated!4 -
Good morning! This morning is sunny and looking to be a beautiful 70-degree day. After all the rain, it's a welcome site! Getting my hair cut and colored today and pretty happy about that. I've been keeping busy and am actually enjoying this time being furloughed. Getting things done that I normally don't have time to do, so that's been good. Nothing fun, just chores that I put off for "another day". So, it feels productive. I try not to let myself think about getting called back to work because it invokes a lot of anxiety. Working in a health care organization during a pandemic, it's hard to keep up with all the changes....when you are furloughed from that health care organization, it's impossible. I'm going to be so far behind when I go back and that brings out feelings of stress in me. So, i am trying not to think about it and just take it day by day. Worrying will not change a thing and will only ruin today for me. (Easier to say than to do!)
@teigansdad Thanks for the post above to @aubyshortcake . I needed that message today! Good message with lots of insight.
Just for Today:
Pre-log today's food
Stick to pre-logged foods only
75+ oz water
NO ICE CREAM
30 minutes intentional activity
4+ servings freggies
Podcasts: Joyce Meyer, Phit n Phat, Half Size Me
Phone call with Health Coach, V
Lymphedema arm massage x 2
Gratitude: Today I am SO grateful for this group! Even though I veer off path occasionally, when I come back I know this group will be here with no judgement, just welcoming and with encouragement. I just love y'all!

- Go to Wal Mart
Yesterday I mostly worked. First on work, then on the back porch area. Cleaned, rearranged bought some new fun lights and a few more chairs as we are having people over Saturday assuming this dreadful rain stops. I did have a few beers last night, 1.5. I just didn't want the rest of the last one and though I rarely pour beer out, I was done and decided there was no reason to finish it if I didn't really want it. In a weird way that is a win for me. Other than that my oldest wanted a movie night, actually she wanted a mom makes real popcorn on the stove night, but it was still nice.

Monday morning my manager emailed everyone with approval to work from the office again one day this week, and my assigned day is Thursday. I have been "working" from home all week to be at a certain point in my projects so as to be productive at the office. To be honest, I am not very productive at home but getting what needs to be done slowly over time. Some of our businesses are reopening next week with social distancing protocols & limited capacity, so we'll see how that goes. Still have no idea when my dept. may be working in the office full-time.
I have a paid holiday weekend starting Friday - Monday. Hubby and I have no plans to travel or do anything much, but will be nice for me to not report daily updates. That reminds me: I need to submit daily AND weekly updates tomorrow. Got to go, webinar starting now!SPRING FLOWER CHALLENGE
