    JFT - Thursday July 2
    1 Litre of Water
    Log all Food
    No chips
    Gratitude Journal

    @Bex953172 - My daughter gave up on the homeschooling as well, the battles that were occurring was wreaking havoc on all of their mental health. She has gotten Jonah reading more, and he has made some things with his Grampie that has taught him measurements, he plays some games that require math skills so he's learning, just in different ways. He also started riding a bike, with stabilizers (we call them training wheels) and without. Previously he felt that a bike was a death trap and wasn't willing to learn.
    I'm so happy you and Ash have turned a corner with depression, it is a terrible disease. I had a cousin lose his 28 year old son to suicide last week, he was a new father and it devastated everyone.

    @SERmom3 - what a lovely picture of your girls! I can almost smell the grass! I will join you in your no chip challenge except for when we go camping the 17-20! I'll also add no Coke except for camping and after I finish the little cans I have at home this week. That will make such a difference to my waistline!

    @AJB1014 - I agree that these little computers we hold in our hand need to be set aside. My biggest problem is in the evenings Rodger watches a lot of shows I don't like so I scroll through MFP and Facebook killing time. Once he goes to bed I watch some shows I like, but still end up on them because it seems that's when all my friends get chatty and start texting. How did you make out with the bookcase?

    @ZizzyBumble - I'm so glad you'll be reunited with your husband. That was a long time under stressful circumstances when you could have really used him for support.

    Haha the bookcase...i put two legs on wrong so i had to deconstruct half of it and put it together again but it got done and i really like how it turned out! Picture in next post.

    Wow, 22 posts since I posted last night. I'll have to catch up later. This a.m. I started early even though working from home, b/c I wanted to walk dog before heat & humidity got to be too much.

    JFT R 7/2
    1) Walked dog 3.75 mi 1:07:55 B) happy dog & sweaty happy me :sweat_smile:
    2) Log all food / net cals zero / 14c water
    3) Move hourly / stairs breaks (basement to 2nd floor) / 5 somethings
    4) Work from home / submit daily & weekly updates since tomorrow is "holiday observed" / organize papers & electronics to work in office (new approval for work in office 2 days per week ~ I'm assigned Mon. & Tues.)
    5) RSVP niece's wedding / wash towels / make strawberry recipes / meal plan & grocery list / other home chores?
    6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / set alarm to walk dog early a.m.

    2020 Goals:
    1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)
    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 June
    Word for 2020: Persist

    @Bex953172 BEEEEEXXXXXXX!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!!!!! I missed you so much and have thought of you often! I'm glad the girls are doing well and that you and Ash have turned a corner. That's a really huge step!

    So I've been gone a few days. I'm have a really hard time staying consistent. I did so well for like a full year in '17 I think and then since then, I've just haven't been able to. I hate it because when I was coming every day I dropped 30 lbs. Now I have 50 lbs to lose and can't keep myself doing the same things every day. It probably has something to do with the fact that I don't have much of a routine anymore. Although, now that Matt is back at work I've generally been getting up early with him and not sleeping until the early afternoon like before. That's been really nice. And we've both been going to bed early so I guess that's a step in the right direction, right?

    Yesterday was the start of July's Novel Writing Month. My goal is 25k words which I'm pretty sure I'm going to knock out of the park quickly. I wanted to make a goal that I could achieve fairly easily and this I definitely can. I finished my outline and flushed it out decently well. I've gotten over 6k words written in two days. I wrote a bit this morning and am going to write some later this afternoon probably. I also should do some cleaning today too. Lol. I haven't done much recently.

    JFT, 7/2/20

    - Post :smiley:
    - Clean off kitchen table
    - Gather laundry
    - Perform ovu test
    - Write another 1k words
    - Clean off grill plate
    - Actually cook dinner

    It's definitely due to the lack of routine! And getting into a routine is hard on its own!!
    Maybe in 2017 you did do well, I did too til Casey decided to rent my womb lmao!

    But since then, Im sure you've just had $h!t going on! Wasn't most of last year took up by Matt's mystery illness? And then he gets back on his feet then boom. Coronavirus. So basically poop hit the fan again so if I'm really honest, I'm not surprised at all that you can't nail down some proper routine because there is no routine!! Everything is different and we all know how hard it is to change routines!

    Give it some more time, and some more thought and you might just see places where you can alter things despite all the craziness going on in the world!

    @mytime6630 JOANNNNNNNNNNN! I've been so worried about you and hoping all is well! So happy to see you posting!

    @azulvioleta40 I haven't seen your post yet, but it sounds like you've not been feeling well. I'm glad you are back and hope all is well!

    @ZizzyBumble I'm SO sorry to hear about your mum. Hugs and love, friend. xoxo :heart:

    I have so much to read up on, so I'm sure I'm missing many of you, but please know I've been thinking of you all! I'll catch up later tonight and try to take notes!

    Thank you for the caring comments about the loss of my job. I'm working through it day by day, trying to do one thing at a time and put one foot in front of the other. I'm trying very hard to find medical coverage at a reasonable price, and if I can find that, then I think I will be able to just retire early and be done with it all. That would be so exciting, to be able to just spend the days enjoying life with my husband. But first, one step at a time and we will see how it all works out.

    I hear there is a pic of baby Ray on here, so I'm going to have to dig until I find it!

    @Bex953172 I cannot believe our baby Casey is already going to nursery! Where does time go?

    @SERmom3 I love the picture of your girls going on picnic! Thanks for sharing!

    More later.....(As I go back 12 pages and catch up... lol)

    xoxo

      Thu 18: 149.2🤔
      Fri 19: 149.4 🤓 I was wondering if this uptick is connected to the fact that I have started interval walking/jogging to get my steps in. I did a little research, and sure enough, there it was, in black and white. When you start jogging, the muscles hold on to fluid for muscle repair. Can be several lbs, and it sorts itself out when the body acclimatises, so I'm sticking with it until it settles down.
      😂 Just when you think you have it all sorted, one little change throws it up in the air again. I'm guessing that this is temporary.
