    I didn't hop on yesterday because I was on the phone half the day setting up differing appointments, etc. By the time I was done, I honestly just didn't want to look at the computer anymore!

    I have to take Maddie to the vet this morning for a sore on her foot she keeps licking and biting at. The rest of the day is up in the air. I feel so much more at peace having made a decision about our future. I actually WANT to get outside and take a walk now. It's amazing how different I feel...didn't realize how depressed I actually was.

    @littleblackskirt I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. This must be such a difficult time in you and your mom's life. Sending cyber hugs and I sure hope you can feel them. xxoo

    @Bex953172 Kanye running for President is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! 🙄🤪🥴

    Well that didn’t go as I committed.

    Fell into eating mode and bypassed mindful eating behaviors that work for me.
    For Friday. Don’t give in. I am not normal, able to take my eye off my “why”

    1900 calories 3373
    Work out 35 minutes 42 minutes including a 2.22 mile walk
    Make good choices and focus on my health/flexibility for retirement. Started good with my standards standards but mixed in not so good choices. Conscious decision not to work out beyond my walk, to eat on the couch, to eat past the point of food tasting good
    Support my bride, do the little things she makes this easy but it hit me that not making good choices and breaking my commitments are not the behaviors of a support husband
    Walk after dinner[/quote] sat on the couch and declined the invitation

    For Saturday. Let Friday go and start a new day. Can’t change yesterday but can change today.

    1900 calories
    Work out 70 minutes
    Make good choices and focus on my health and flexibility for retirement with my bride
    Walk after dinner

    This morning started fine, but went downhill as I got in my car and it wouldn't start. 2nd time this month. Probably needs new battery, especially before winter. Got key to hubby's vehicle, then lock to front door came apart as I was leaving for farmers market. Oh boy. A quiet lazy day at home just changed. I am grateful we have the time and funds to handle these unexpected situations.

    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

    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" / Hope Isn't Canceled virtual 10K w/ dog 8/29/20 1:43:10 ave. pace 16:36
    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

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

    Age 62, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 145 - 150 (need to be realistic)

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.

    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking

      Hiya everyone!

      I've got stuff to update you all on!

      First, I start work again tomorrow! The school district I work with has full day in-person schooling for their special needs classes. They wanted to wait and see how well the first week went before they brought any more outside help. But I'm back! Thank goodness! I can't wait to get back in the classroom with my kids!

      Second, we figured out what my headaches are from! I saw my doctor a few days ago about a medication issue and brought up the headaches. He said that he thought it was cervicogenic headaches because the pain starts right where the muscles in the back of the neck connect to the back of my skull. He sent me to physical therapy. I had the initial assessment done on Thrusday. My PT thinks that it's because I grind my teeth in my sleep. I had no idea I did that, but Matt confirmed it. Lol. So my jaw muscles never relax. I also have a bit of TMJ(Lockjaw) and two knots in the middle of my jaw muscles. There's also some weakness in my arms that I've been compensating with by using my shoulders and neck. As well as, limited movement when I turn my head to the left...

      So yeah....Lots of things wrong. But there is a nice plus side! I don't have to pay for any of the appts! Or at least not the first 25. Because I hit my personal deductible and out of pocket max with my surgery in February so it's all covered now.

      Third, it's our 6th wedding anniversary today! It's crazy! How did this happen? When did this happen? What? Lol. But it is amazing and I feel happier and more in love every day.

      Today is going to be a bit of a simple day. I'm going to spend some time working on the outline for the next book in the series I'm writing. Now that I'm going back to work I can spend more time writing at school like I did last year. That's how I got a lot of my first MS written last year. Lol

      Okay, onto some goals!

      Today I will:

      - Post :smiley:
      - Work on outline 😁 Got the beginning of it down and got some ideas churning in the back of my head
      - Call about dinner reservations :smiley:
      - La Scala :smiley:
      - Bake cookies 😁 Not the best I've ever made but it's kinda hard to go wrong with chocolate chip. Lol
      - Cancel Matt's appt :smiley:
      - Do jaw exercises! 😁

      School starts today. I slept like absolute trash last night... Again. I laid down at like 730 because I couldn't keep my eyes open and then proceeded to wake up 5 times between then and 1230. And then another 4-5 times between 1230 and 6. It was ridiculous. Sometimes it's the cat being a jerk. Sometimes it's Matt. Sometimes it's the random heartburn I've been getting at night. I just hope I can make it through today fully in charge of my brain.

      I'm doing training today. I'm pretty sure my student is nonverbal because they have me doing functional communication training which is using a device like an iPad or tablet to help my student communicate with others. I know the principles behind the training but have never actually used it. So we'll see how it goes.

      Mom and dad are going away for an extended weekend this weekend coming up so I'll be taking care of the farm animals. I don't mind. I spent some time the other day giving their new horse some love and a good rub down. He's my favorite ever, I think. Lol. He's just a huge moosh. He lapped it all up and didn't get skittish or anything. Lol.

      Okay, into some small goals for today.
      Today I will:

      - First day of work!
      - PT at 6
      - Go see mom
      - Figure out dinner
      - continue working on outline

      I think that's it for today.

      JFT M ~ work in office
      1) Wore our LED & reflective gear & walked dog 3.79 mi before work :smiley: happy dog & happy me

      3) Net cals green / 14c water

      6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)

      Sat. turned out ok although taking care of things took through late afternoon, and I never walked dog on gorgeous day. But got to spend lots of time w/ hubby as we shopped for & replaced front door deadbolt lock (even rekeyed it so we don't have to swap any keys out), grocery shopped, and got new battery in my car. We ate fast food for lunch on the go & supper wasn't much better. Net cals RED & water low, so that was not so good. Sunday I went to church, walked dog after & ate better, so I'm happy with that. It's life.

      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" / Hope Isn't Canceled virtual 10K w/ dog 8/29/20 1:43:10 ave. pace 16:36

        Foot exercises no
        Finish laundry yes
        Ironing yes
        Approach local care homes yes, STILL waiting on a call back from one
        Admin did parents, not mine, I must stop pushing mine back, it's important too
        Keep gardening before weather breaks yes, as much as my back would allow

        Got a bit more gardening done, but it's raining today so that's put on hold today. Also did some babysitting, toddlers have such strong opinions on what they want!

        This is frustrating waiting on care home phoning me back, I can't exactly turn up on the doorstep so reliant on phone. The social worker is pushing me for decisions.
