Yesterday's JFT, 6/14:
🙁
I didn't meet any of my goals yesterday. It was pretty rough and I ended up eating over my daily calories, which feels bad after I've been doing so well.
Today's JFT, 6/15
-Stay green!
-Meet my water goal
-Meet my exercise goal
-Water the garden
-Plant my lavender
We'll keep things simple today. Small steps, stuff I know I can keep up with and can probably accomplish today despite having pretty low energy and motivation. Baby steps, baby steps. It's going to get better, I've just got to take it one day at a time.6 -
Late again logging in but keeping myself accountable...
Recap Sun. 6/14
1) Walk dog = 5.09 mi 1:25:07 ave. pace 16:43 & stretched happy dog & happy me
2) Home chores lots of outside chores done, some w/ hubby & some on my own
3) Make asparagus & shrimp with angel hair for supper / net calories green / 14c WATER = Stuck w/ plan & net cals 282 sodium & sugar green fiber low-ish protein low 15c water
4) FLOSS / RETAINERS
JFT M 6/15
1) Walk dog = 4.03 mi 1:21 (walked most of first mile w/ Kim & Bogie, it was nice to chat with someone for a change) & stretched happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / REMEMBER 5 somethings / stairs breaks (basement to 2nd floor)
3) Net calories green / 14c water
4) Work from home
5) Vet's office for cat food/dog dental treats / Schwan's delivery / Walgreens (vitamins & Father's Day card) / one home chore
6) Call mom & dad
7) Floss / retainers
Work from home is not terribly productive, and it is nice to arrange my day & errands however I want. Plus I don't HAVE to get out the front door before 6 a.m. to walk dog before work, only on really hot weather days. Still hating the daily update emails to my manager required by this arrangement ~ ack!
Will possibly visit parents on Sunday (Father's Day), outside, no hugs, social distancing. Hubby won't go b/c of where he works. I will drive 1.5 hours one way just to see them a few hours, but I haven't visited them since the first week of March. They're in their mid-80s and I want to see them in person. Sure hope the weather cooperates.
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability
4) Take measurements & log on MFP monthly (I stopped as weight plateaued & went up) = 2.1.20 / 2.29.20 / 4.1.20 (forgot 3.31.20) / 5.1.20 (forgot 4.30.20) / 6.3.20 (forgot at ME again)
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race events ~ have planned 7 5Ks and 2 10Ks at minimum = Frenzy on the Fox 5K 49:36 ave. pace 15:29 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race w/ dog on 4/2/20 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5/2/20 I walked 3.48 mi w/ dog in 1:01:10 ave. pace 17:33 / RonaRunOff 5/16/20 virtual walk 5.08 miles with dog in 1:23:15 ave. pace 16:23 / 100 Miles Challenge fundraiser (per fitness tracker) & completed 5/18/20 / Bellin Run 10K virtual race w/ dog on 6/6/20 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace"
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
9) Declutter home office, bedroom and basement = basement (boxes) Jan. / home office desk (some) & more basement boxes Feb. / basement boxes & home office (some more) Mar. / decluttered/cleaned in bedroom & more basement boxes Apr. / basement boxes May ~ very pleased w/ my progress / reorg in basement June4 -
Ok Today went good in the morning, ok in the afternoon, and well could have been better this evening but I got a lot done around the house and we ordered pizza due to an animal emergency my husband brought to me and so we took it to a wildlife rehab after I patched it up some . But I still did good calorie wise so I’m happy with the day .
Tomorrow’s just for today goals :
Drink a bottle of water with each meal.
Stay under calorie goal.
Get some walking in.
Have a great day everyone 😃

4. Leg weights at 0930😀
5. 30+minute Walk😀
6. Lunch = salad + chicken😀

Not sure what happened this evening, but work stress and my stomach being upset since morning somehow allowed the evil twin/rebel toddler in my brain to convince me I should eat a lot of “dessert” tonight. Now I feel even worse, gurgly acid stomach. But will dust off and start over tomorrow, back to familiar foods. Hopefully I won’t be paying for this on the scale for too long.

Tuesday 16 June
I’ve not been meeting my normal goals the last few times, haven’t even tried on most of them. Despite not logging and being a bit liberal with the booze, the scale continues to creep in the right direction. I’m modifying my normal goals as meeting my Fitbit exercise goal is not going to happen. There’s no good reason not to achieve the others!

Yesterday was tough mentally, but I can’t in under and had a relaxing bike ride.
Today is a club ride. There is a big @$$ hill at the start of this ride, and the last time I rode this route I totally panicked. Sobbing can’t breath kind of panicked. Oh well, today is a new day. As before, it will be taxing for me, but it won’t kill me. Of course this is assuming I get out of work in time. It’s kind of a crazy day. I need to do better with fueling than I did yesterday, or I’ll never make it on the ride. Still only averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night. That’s getting old, but it’s useful today because I need to leave home early to take my oldest to her annual check up with the pediatric Ophthamologist. Her appointment of at 8:45, but it’s 2.5 hours away. Then I have to go in to work to take care of some things that will hopefully be quick. After that there is a meeting I don’t want to go to, then home to clean up the bike and head out to the ride. Wish me luck!

@Kuhl50 , I tried eating a protein bar a few times when I didn't have time to stop for lunch. Every time I had stomach ache for the rest of the day, So no longer eat them. I never did work out why.
I love the idea of blaming an evil twinlittleblackskirt wrote: »
JFT Monday 15th June
Log everything yes
Be in the green no, but under maintenance
Back exercises some
Walk yes, only 20 minutes. We had a thunderstorm in the evening so didn't think I'd get out, but it stopped raining just before bed time so I went.
Do some gardening thinned out and replanted seedlings
Finances finally found the tax info I needed online, it's like hunting for the needle in a haystack sometimes. So lots of reading. Had hoped I'd be able to claim a tax refund but sadly not. I'm glad I now know though, and can stop thinking about it

@pridesabtch I think you are 1/2 way there just having the self awareness about how easy it is to go down the negativity/ self destructive rabbit hole. I still struggle every time I go into the red calorie-wise.. I’m like “f%#k it, I’ve already failed may as well go crazy”...I don’t guess that’s the healthiest approach but I keep coming here, re-writing my daily goals, and move on. At least for the last 6 months I’ve been able to keep these f@#k days to just 1 or 2 a week & even with these I feel like I’m not going backwards. I do think the margin for error is less during the time we are trying to lose weight vs maintaining. I feel like even though I’m often in the green my weight has not changed. That’s ok because I’m actually below my initial target but still weird I’m not really losing even staying green. I do think some of it is water... I really focus on carb intake 48-72 hrs before a race and I know that makes you retain water. Oh well sorry for the rambling. Really just wanted to give you a fist bump 👊 and say I hear yah sister and as the great Tony Horton (p90x guy) would say “just keep pushing play”

@HEGoddard0928 - Matt is going to suffer through a long day today, I bet he goes to bed as soon as he gets home tonight.
@rhododendron33 - I am right there with you, but the good part of this is thread is we just try better today to reach our goals.
@cschmitz110515 - A daily email would bother me as well. If the work isn't getting completed they should be able to know that and deal with that individual. I would make the drive to see my parents in your situation too.
@hypersensitiveb1975 - It's those unexpected surprises that catch me off guard too.
@kuhl50 - I had too many suppers last night and a dessert... we'll see the drop in a couple of days I'm sure.
@teigansdad - I had the same problem when I was losing even though I was staying in the green I didn't notice a difference on the scale. I weigh daily and started tracking my numbers in excel. Come to find out I was losing about a pound a week, it was just feeling like it was taking forever. I noticed the inches coming before the pounds though. I need to get back to that point again.
I did not get my walk in last night. When I left work it was raining so hard, then it cleared off and then a thunderstorm and heavy rain again. The sky in one direction was ominous looking and the other was clear. I didn't trust not getting soaked.
My best friend Facetimed me last night she was extending her vacation mood after returning to work yesterday. She is not a drinker really, but had had three coolers. It was a nice chat even though she was hard to keep on topic LOL
Today is supposed to be sunny all day so I should get a walk in this evening. I stopped and bought a salad for lunch so that is a start.
Hope everyone has a great day1

Sister called parents this morning & found out I am visiting Sunday. She PM'd to tell me she and her hubby visiting as well. Yay! Will be good to see some of my family again, even from a social distance. Mom asked that I bring my own food, so we aren't sharing dishes. That's new. But easy to do and well worth it. Have to remember to put gas in my car ~ I haven't been going anywhere, except short local shopping & work in office trips, so haven't put gas in my small, efficient car for 2 months!

Day 4/4 of long weekend nearly done though (although still a few hours to go!)
Have spent some time this afternoon thinking about life goals etc. and actually I identified that the yearly resolutions I wrote in January are still very much the ones I want to be focusing on - just need to get back to them! So here are some monthly resolutions for June/ July, tailored around those goals for the year and where we are now:
Daily
Eat 5+ fruit and veg per day (average)
Drink 2.4 litres water per day
Get into habit of taking breaks at work
Get into habit of keeping emails off at work
Meditate daily
Speak French to boyfriend every evening
Weekly
Have a date night once per week, following the rules
Hit weekly calorie goal (halfway into maintenance)
Watch a French movie/ TV show every week
Read 10 pages of French book per week
Spend some time reflecting/ planning each week
Across month
Get work objectives set - in line with my goals
Read positive thinking book
Write list of relationship issues to work on
I've been thinking about whether or not I want to start posting every day again. I do really enjoy logging on everyday and to some degree the daily accountability does help. However, I'm finding it hard to find time on a regular basis to do it within my new schedule and I'm also finding it increasingly difficult to fit all my priorities in without feeling like I never stop and rest. I think for the time being at least I'm going to post weekly, at the weekends, with goals for the upcoming week. I may check-in partway through the week on how I'm doing, or I may just leave it the full week. Let's try that for now!
So for this week (Wed - Sun), it's a pretty similar list to the list above:
Daily
Eat 5+ fruit and veg per day (average)
Drink 2.4 litres water per day
Get into habit of taking breaks at work
Get into habit of keeping emails off at work
Meditate daily
Speak French to boyfriend every evening
Other
Hit weekly calorie goal (halfway into maintenance)
Have a proper date night on Thursday
Watch a French movie/ TV show at the weekend
Read 10 pages of French book at the weekend
Spend some time reflecting/ planning at the weekend
Write list of relationship issues to work on

Yesterday I only completed 3 of the 6 things I wrote on my JFT. Luckily today is a new day. 😋
1. Eat clean. Focus on fruits and veggies.
2. Exercise - stretching and cardio
3. Write in my journal
4. Take measurements. I didn’t do it when I started but can tell I already lost an 1” here and there because I can fit is smaller pants.
5. Make the phone calls I am avoiding.
Have a great day everyone!3 -

So as seen above I didn’t do well . Mainly is a dinner issue hubby had to do a almost thanksgiving dinner . I avoided some of it but everything but the green beans had a ton of calories.
I did get some exercise but not even trying to make up that much calories. Good thing is my original calorie goal was 1500 and I lowered it .
Tomorrow’s just for today.
No sodas at all
Walk 2 miles
Stay under goal4 -

So for the second day In a row I will not take credit for setting my intention before meals. Breakfast and lunch were “cram in bites whenever you can go on video-call mute” kind of meals. Dinner was highly delayed because I started and ended my workout quite late, so mostly I was trying not to overeat dinner. Then halfway through my evening snack I remembered work I needed to do, so back in my office. Luckily not the kind of day where I was annoyed or in a bad mood, just a long day not quite as focused as I’d like.
Tomorrow!
Daily habits: track, exercise, journal

Back exercises forgot
Parents weekly shop yes
Walk mowed the lawn instead
Some gardening if it dries up yes

Submit annual tax return yes, had a treat when it was done. 100 calories of cake, it was a tiny piece!
2 weeks in, and I'm getting used to logging and cutting back. Yesterday I resisted snacking even though I wanted to. I went to bed still thinking about eating crisps but I knew I wasn't really hungry, just mouth hungry.

Today will be a little sad. My 5th grader will have a drive by the school to pick up her yearbook. All of the teachers will be lining the street to cheer for the kids. I can’t even type that out without tearing up! 😭 Not how we thought the end of the year would be for them, but I’m grateful that the school is still trying to make it special.
Yesterday after the virtual celebration we made a few bunches of flowers and dropped them off at some of her friend’s houses. It was a lot of fun and made everyone smile.
JFT WEDNESDAY:
- 5th grader parade/yearbook pick up💕
- Homeschool
- Landscaping

Tuesday goals
Stay green❌❌
No m&ms❌❌🤪
No beer✅
Reschedule dentist appointment✅
Make a smart dinner. (Race night tomorrow, will likely be cancelled if weather stays as is but if so will do race equivalent workout so want to keep fuel on point)✅
Hour of tempo on trainer✅
Clean and lube race bike❌
Man did I go off the rails last night. I was doing perfect until I took that one gateway handful of m&ms. Oh well today’s a new day. I keep trying to analyze why I do that because I feel like it’s sorta self sabotaging. Although I guess in the grand scheme of things once in a while probably not gonna be harmful.
Today’s goals
Stay green
Win race if we have it but seems unlikely so if no race do race equivalent workout on trainer
If no race 3 sets of 12 pull ups and 3 sets of 20 push-ups
NO M&MS
No beer

Tuesday: logged everything
Wednesday: log it all!
@littleblackskirt, I like that idea of "mouth hungry." I have that a lot and it is hard to overcome!2 -
@merope2, I know! My mouth wants to eat and my hands want to feed it lol. Especially right now being stuck at home alone and thinking I deserve a treat. Lots of willpower required, I keep reminding myself I want to be slimmer more than I need a treat.4
