    1. Up at 5:45, pill, set timer😀
    2. Weigh, shower, pill, pets, coffee😀
    3. On video by 0658😀
    4. Breakfast = yogurt + Kashi😀
    5. Lunch = salad + chicken🧐—protein pancake instead of chicken
    6. Walk at 5:30 (sooner if can)🤨—too hot (87) earlier! Finally fit it in starting 8:50pm...
    7. Dinner = pork leftovers 😀
    8. Make chicken😀
    9. Pre-brown stew meat😀
    10. Plan workout slot for Thursday 😀—during my 2pm calls...will have to be inside on stationery bike...predicted 96 tomorrow
    11. Distraction free evening treat🤨—not watching media, but I am trying to finish my MFP work while eating my treat!
    12. Upstairs 9🤨—my day starts 30 min later tomorrow so aimed and almost hit 9:30
    13. Lay out clothes😀

    Long day. 7-7 at my desk, at least only 10 hours of calls. Tried to head out for a walk during a 2pm call and turned right back—way too hot for me! Tomorrow ~10 degrees worse so I’ll plan an inside bike ride. Did well with eating, and too busy to spend much time binging bad TV! 🤣

    I’m still here, and feeling committed but I’d like to get more into the habit of setting/meeting goals. Right now I’m still keeping it simple. JFT: log everything & stay under goal. Don’t eat back all of exercise calories.

    WEDNESDAY:
    - 5th grader parade/yearbook pick up🟢
    - Homeschool🟢
    - Landscaping🟢
    - Final dance class for B🟢
    - Exercise (cardio)🔴

    I was TIRED yesterday. Ended up in bed at about 8:00. I think I’ve been feeling the stress of the final few days of school and the end of elementary school for my oldest. Everything is going well, but just trying to make it special for her and still keep my kids working for just a few hours a day is a little stressful. 2 more days left!

    JFT THURSDAY:
    - Homeschool (lots of meetings today)
    - Log food / stay green
    - Exercise (weights & cardio)
    - Landscaping
    - Pick up dining room and porch

    Be well! 💕

      Wednesday: everything logged.
      Thursday: log everything.

      I had a stressful afternoon yesterday, and, because I've been posting here, actually stopped myself from throwing in the towel and eating whatever. Instead I made conscious choices about what I wanted to do, and I'm so happy about that!

      That is exactly why I love this thread. That and if I do give up one day, I know tomorrow can be a new start.

      So a little experiment I'm doing with calories because I'm a numbers girl. I'm comparing my projected weight loss to my actual weight loss. Calories expended come from my Garmin, calories in from logging on MFP. I calculate the deficit and assume 2000 calories per pound. So far the numbers are tracking quite well.

      I have a few low days and a few high days, but my base MFP calories are set at 1310 and I try to stay above 1200, but there are days when I just don't feel great. I will usually balance that out over a few days. If you are interested, here is the data.
      jg04jkw59zbe.png

      Okay, they say 3500/pound, but 2000 seems to be how it works for me... Go figure that everyone is a different. Either way this makes me feel better.

      Think I found the mistake in my calculations. My TDEE was being calculated using a much lower than actual weight. TDEE is likely higher than stated for June -17. I've fixed it & we'll see how the rest of the month goes.

      JFT - Day 4

      Log all food/drink
      No alcohol
      Get moving
      Don’t give up... seems like a dumb thing to say given it’s just day 4, but because I had a really rough yesterday afternoon, I ate everything in sight and went to bed very discouraged. I want perfection from the get-go and that never happens. I did log everything yesterday so that’s a plus.

      Just For Today. 👍

      I'm learning that it is about positive improvements, not perfection. Striving for perfection gets us in trouble mentally...

      Hey guys! I know I've been gone for the last two days. Not sure why. I really need to make JFT a habit again! Even if it's just to pop on and post goals.

      So Matt had his pulmonary appt yesterday. The doc said his lungs sound clear and that his breathing test came back with pretty good results. She wants him to get a chest x-ray just in case and prescribed him a new inhaler and a prescription allergy med to help with post nasal drip. She also sent in a new script for his rescue inhaler and ordered a nebulizer for him for the high pollen days and things. It was really funny when the doctor was taking his medical history because we had to tell her everything because she was really thorough. And her eyes just kept getting wider and wider with every injury and illness we told her about. Lol. My husband really is a walking miracle. He's really lucky that other than the 2 brain surgeries all of his injuries have been ortho based. Lol. Anyway, it was a good appt and we both liked the doctor. Once I know Matt's schedule for next week I'm going to set up the appt for the chest x-ray to get that done and over with.

      I went totally off the rails with my eating yesterday. Matt wanted to get Wawa(a really good convenience store with a really good deli) I made a good choice of getting a salad but then got candy and two bags of chips...not my best night. I should have logged it to keep myself accountable but I just couldn't. Maybe I'll go back and do it now...Hmm.

      Anyway, onto some goals.

      Today the setting intentions worked—I had a snack, was still hungry, but convinced myself to wait 20 minutes because this was the only snack I’d planned. Of course by then I wasn’t hungry or paying attention to it anymore!

      Another long day, and I forgot to put on my list that I need to meal prep at least one salad—I didn’t have one prepped for lunch tomorrow. So off to the store after dinner. But I picked up ingredients to make a recipe I saw featured on MFP: frozen lemon yogurt bark. It looked so good I had to try it. Won’t know the results until it finishes freezing tomorrow.

      Oh, and today I received my collapsible, multi-position bench for my dumbbell exercises! So stoked, even if it does have that plastic off gas smell right now. No more balancing in odd positions trying to get full range of motion. 😀
