    Hi. I know I wanted to reply individually to some posts that touched me, but I didn’t write everything down. 😝 Oops! 😋

    I undereat when it is hot outside. I’ve never done well in temps above 84F. And since I live in the southern U.S., I am miserable for ~3 months every summer. Sometimes this leads to nighttime snacking being even more tempting (enticing) than the other 9 months of the years. I am a work in progress and am aware of strategies that help.

    I remember most of my JFT’s from yesterday, and know I didn’t get through everything. So, today, I am going to go for the basics.

    JFT - Thurs 7/16
    1. Exercise
    2. Log all food/stay in the green
    3. Focus on veggies
    4. No eating after DH goes to bed

    JFT R 7/16
    1) Walk dog :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (basement to 2nd floor) / 5 somethings
    2) Net cals green / 14c water

    5) Floss / retainers

    I am so excited for this evening: I'm attending the botanical garden weekly concert on a beautiful day. New pandemic rules include pre-registration, $5 fee (to be redeemed for beverage on-site), members only, 15-minute time slots for arrival, reduced crowd limit, masks req'd inside buildings. All things I can live with. And certainly, parking won't be an issue.

    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 & July
    Word for 2020: Persist

      Thursday Action Plan
      1. Up at 6:30, pill, timer, weigh😀
      2. Pets, pill😀
      3. Start chili😀
      4. Prep for All Hands🤨
      5. On camera 0755😀
      6. Breakfast = yogurt + Kashi😀
      7. Lunch = salad + protein 😀
      8. Weights at 2:30😀
      9. Walk after work😀
      10. Dinner = chili + spaghetti squash 🤨—squash was old, only had rice
      11. Treat at 8:30pm: on a plate, me in chair🤨—late, no plate, no chair...
      12. Upstairs by 9👿
      13. Layout clothes😀
      14. Plan workout time for Friday😀

      17. Lights out 9:45😀

      Today I noted in my digital weight log that I was the same weight 34 days ago. Happy Scale shows me green for trend, but also that I lost only 0.2 pounds in the last 30 days. Now one thing that changed was adding in strength training 6+ weeks ago. But it’s not like I stalled with scale and have dropped inches from the strength training. Don’t get me wrong, I’m stronger and I feel it, but I’m not wearing a different size or anything.

      I feel like something needs to be switched up so that I can make better progress. Am contemplating raising my calories on MFP (either manually, or by setting a different activity level). But if I do that, I will be very careful to only eat “quality calories” in the extra. The other thing I can play with are my macros. Right now I keep hitting 30% fat or more (along with 30% protein) when I wanted 25% fat. I’d have to tweak up my standard meals (mostly my salad dressing) to drop my fat percentages. Anything else worked for you?

      12. Meditate

      Good morning,

      I think it’s time I got back into the routine of goal setting. I have been reading your posts so that I didn’t loose touch but was just feeling too tired to commit. I’ve not been logging food or meeting my Fitbit exercise goals, I’ve not been particularly hungry but have a small gain that’s probably more to do with alcohol than food >:)

      Log :)
      Stay in the green :)
      5 fruit and veg :)
      Water :)
      Fitbit exercise goals :)
