Recap W 10/21 ~ work in conference room on crappy computer
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors) 12/14 (lost track one hour)
2) Not sure about supper again / net cals zero / 14 cups water made cabbage & sausage soup recipe for first time ~ it's a keeper. -50 & 12c (not bad for no exercise calories)
3) Continue AJNH reviews & call Tim 1:30 / print FY20 GA-B ref material / clear more email backlog no time since Tim emailed all kinds of add'l info / save stuff to flash drive / sanitize room end of day 4/5
4) Prep overnight oats / declutter 15 min. too lazy / one more chore 2/3
5) UNPLUG 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / 7:00 alarm (walk dog before work from home) 2/4
JFT R 10/22 ~ work at home day
1) Walked dog 3.81 mi before work happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly (except afternoon appt.)
3) Net cals zero / 12 cups water
4) Save flash drive to PC / back-up PC / organize GA-B print / progress on AJNH / keep up with emails / email daily update to manager
5) 3:00 Day Spa / declutter 15 min. / one more chore
6) UNPLUG 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / 7:00 alarm (walk dog before work from home)
Yesterday's call went way better than I expected, Tim was very chatty once I was able to put him at ease, and I gathered tons of info for my operational audit. Now know I have an excellent resource, and he's willing to take time to explain processes to me. That's a huge relief. Also, I talked to several co-workers briefly, and we're all in the same position with a$$t. manager. I can't control that, but I can control my reactions, and I need to chill out. It's just a job.
After another good night's sleep and walk with dog this morning, I am much more relaxed. Even the dark, gloomy skies and coming rain aren't going to get me down today. Helped by fact I have some personal time off work this afternoon, and my birthday appointment at the Day Spa (hubby's paying ).
2020 Goals:1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19)Word for 2020: Persist
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP

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) / 6.30.20 / 8.6.20 (forgot July 31 & crazy schedule) / 8.31.20 / 9.30.20
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 on 1.10.20 / Seroogy's Valentine 5K 46:26.7 ave. pace 14:47 on 2.8.20 / Badger State Brewing 10K virtual race on 4.2.20 w/ dog 1:44:16 ave. pace 16:33 / Prevention virtual 5K Fun & Fit Team on 5.2.20 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 on 6.6.20 w/ dog 1:41:03 ave. pace 16:14 dog definitely slows my "race pace" / Hope Isn't Canceled virtual 10K on 8.29.20 w/ dog 1:43:10 ave. pace 16:36 / Packers 5K virtual race 9.26.20 w/ dog 52:23 ave. pace 16:41 / Bellin Women's 5K virtual race 10.10.20 w/ dog 52:55 ave. pace 16:57 / virtual Run for the Hill of It 5K on 10.16.20 w/ dog 50:35 ave. pace 16:16

@PackerFanInGB - It sounds like you had a lovely day shopping. I tend to wake up early and force myself back to sleep on the weekends. When I have nothing to do I find the days so long, I would rather just sleep through them. This weekend I think I am going to have both days booked up.
@cschmitz110515 - Sorry work is being difficult, I understand all too well how that affects your whole day. Enjoy your spa day.
@momofthree9845 - I found weighing weekly really got me down, I started weighing daily and doing an average over 7 days and realized that I actually was losing and it motivated me to keep going. Someone recommended Happy Scale to me and I use that now, but for a long time I tracked on Excel and did a weekly and monthly average.
@SERmom3 - I do my own version of IF to control calorie counts too. I don't find it too hard to do.
Well I should get to work

Hit my goals yesterday and showed a weight loss today.
Only eat one serving
Log EVERYTHING
exercise even if only for 10 minutes
Stay within calorie goal2 -
Kept the day on track but it wasnโt easy
For Thursday, respect the streak and keep my eye on a weight loss milestone.
1900 calories: 1783 Knowing I had to self report kept me from going back for more
Work out for 35 minutes: A 47 minute, 2.60 mile walk
Make good choices: Made good choices up to dinner
Support my bride: Did the little things and took the opportunity to let her know her support is appreciated. Couldnโt do the things Iโve accomplished in life without her.
Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards. Both unplugged. Donโt snack on the couch:Chose to snack on the couch vs. eating a good dinner but stayed within my calorie goals. Bride got me off the couch for a stroll around the block [/quote]
For Friday respect my calorie streak of six days and keep focused on breaking through a weight milestone.
1900 calories:
Work out for 80 minutes, make the time:

Yesterday started well, middle was great, ending meh. I wasn't aware (or didn't remember) that my spa package included an adult beverage and snack midway. I of course enjoyed. But that started a downward spiral of evening laziness & snacking. Oops.
Another gloomy, rainy day. Yesterday & last night, we got 3.25" rain and flood warnings for low areas. More of same today so no dog walk = sad dog. Instead, I started my morning by cleaning kitchen and hallway floors and even the dreaded utility closet. Plan to x-train in basement later.

5 pound challenge between now and Christmas..
SW: 189.1 on Oct 1
1st goal weight by Nov 1st: 184 (new goal is now 189 -- since only 1 more week left).
2nd goal by Dec 1st : 182
3rd goal by Jan 1st: 179
Todays weight 190.610/1: 189
10/2: 189.
10/3: 188.8
10/5: 188.6
10/8: 187.5
10/10: 190
10/13: 187.5
10/23: 190.6
Well.. my challenge has not been working for me. Scale is going up instead of down. But ... it is my own fault. I've let the old habits come back... so time to buckle down. I know I won't make my 1st goal, but that does not mean I still can't make some kind of a goal ... to at least end the year closer to my goal weight.
So goals for tomorrow, again, will be simple
1. log all food
2. stay within calories
3. mindful eating
4. concentrate on only water in the evenings... I have to stop the nite time eating! This is my biggest obstacle, and where I probably eat the most calories
5. get back on here. Stay accountable.
