@Snowflake1968 - How exciting for your daughter! The house is super-cute! Enjoy your camping trip!
@suzij27 - I like your attitude. I always say I'm a work in progress. All we can do is recognize what we need to change and continually work to improve. Even if I hit a goal number on the scale, I'll still be working at something.
@Kuhl50 - I also noticed the scale edging up a bit or basically staying the same when I was consistently weight lifting the past few months. (I've taken a couple weeks off and have seen the scale going down again, but I've also been consistently in the green, so hopefully it's not from loss of muscle!) Anyway, from what I've read on some other boards here, you want your protein to be at 0.8%-1% of body weight. So, if I'm about 140lbs, I should be eating about 112g-140g of protein each day. I set my nutrition goals at Protein 40%, Fat 25% and Carbs 35%. My diary is open, so if you want to take a look at Wednesday, 7/15, that was a decent day for me. I get extra protein by adding egg whites to my salad and I sometimes have a high protein shake. I also eat a lot of chicken! As for dressing, I use a Fat Free Catalina dressing (made by Kraft). It's tomato based and sweet, but I really enjoy it.

So relieved that my first rehearsal back at church went well yesterday. I'm still nervous about Sunday, but I feel a little more confident. As luck would have it, as soon as I pulled in the driveway back from rehearsal, I got a text from the music director at another church asking me to sing for a wedding in August. I'm excited to get back into it!

JFT Goals
- Work by 8:00 8:30
- Try to call dermatologist again for an appointment

- No cookies/candy
- No alcohol
- Stay hydrated
- Log everything
- Stay green
Have a stellar day y'all and be careful in the heat. Heat exhaustion is awful.
Yesterday was like an active rest day. I rowed a bit, but it was kind of half @$$ed. Today I have a dermatologist appointment to check a spot on my arm. I really don't think it is anything, but I have had many severe sunburns and am high risk for skin cancer. Better to check than worry.
I will likely take a walk/hike this evening, at least that is the goal unless my coach has different plans or it rains.
JFT Friday
- Meeting 8:30 - 12:00
- Shower
- Dermotologist
- Exercise for an hour
- Log everything
- Stay green
- No cookies/candy/alcohol (tough because daughter made choc chip cookies yesterday.)

A good day yesterday! I got everything done! Had a headache with my student loan company but it got fixed. Matt's still having chest pains and had to call out of work. He suffers from costochondritis which is the swelling of the muscles in his chest. He doesn't have flare ups often but when he does they can be debilitating. This one has lasted 4 days. We're hoping that today will be the last day. We need him back to work.

Today was a tough day, work wise. Had to give really difficult feedback to one of my direct reports that will impact their career. But the bandaid is ripped off and the ball is now in their court.
I did stay on track eating healthy and getting in my exercise. I’m trying to work changing up my “old standbys” to lessen the fat percentage and bump protein when I can, but still ended at 29% fat today (and 32% protein, 110g). Definitely a work in progress.

Yesterday was a bit emotional, but things turned out well. The spot on my arm is not cancerous. I decided to take the evening off and spend it with my family celebrating a bit with pizza and cake. I wasn't going to bother logging it, but I'm glad I did. I only ended up about 50 over. Not bad...
Back at it today.
