Good day on all fronts
For Thursday, keep up my momentum.
1800 calories: 1723
Work out for 80 minutes and keep working toward my 60 minute average for the week: 82 minutes including a 2.50 mile exercise walk. Daily average up to 51 minutes
Make good choices:Made then all day. Worked out, made good food choices and stayed under my calories
Support my bride: Easy to do. She has always supported me
Eat dinner at the table and stroll afterwards, both unplugged. Don’t eat on the couch. Done, done and done [/quote]
For Friday, keep my focus on ending the week and month strong. Have a weight milestone in my sites. The long haul is what really matters but the interim achievements give me motivation.

Work out for 80 minutes and make progress on my 60 minute weekly average. Monthly 2020 high points for hours, miles and others are within reach:

The power is back on! I’ve been on a plateau for several months. I’ve had to take a hard look at my eating and activity level. I reassessed my calorie goal and I hope this helps. I did log everything yesterday but that was the only goal I hit.

Nice!!
When you hit your first goal (when, not if
) what will you get done first? Will you get your chest peice finished or get a new one?
I worry about tattoo parlours because you just never know if they're hygienic enough. The same with piercings lol (although when I hit my 18th birthday, I paid only a tenner for my nose, bellybutton AND tongue in one go haha)

@Bex953172 I think I'm going to get my chest finished when I hit my first goal. I've had it since I was 19, and I'm now 26. It's about time
The tattoo and piercing parlors in my area all seem very hygienic. Of course, I go to the very well known places lol. I've never experienced any problems in the hygiene department!
My most recent tattoo (just finished two weeks ago) was also paid for by my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. He spoils me
He actually went to school with the guy who did this most recent one. 0 -

I think I have to stop trying to go back and catch up on posts I've missed and just jump in here! I set myself up for failure when I try to catch up and comment on everything I missed, and then I end up disappearing for another month. LOL! 2020 has been a real crap shoot... I had gotten down to only 1 lb away from my first mini goal and then turned around and immediately gained 3 lbs. Why, oh why, do I always sabotage myself! 🤦🏻♀️😬
Hope everyone is doing well!
Just for Saturday:- No BS 24H plan and assess
- 64+ oz water
- Activity - maybe take Maddie to dog park again today? Do SOMETHING!
- Gentle Chair Yoga for my arm and back
- Lymphatic massage on right arm x 2
- Eat The Frog today - pick something!
- PIck up yarn and different knitting needles
- Evening routine
Tasks behind the scenes:- Write M a letter and mail C's birthday card
- Finish binding on wall hanging
- Look for patterns for quilted Christmas stockings for grands
- Pick up CB
- Start going through bins in basement for Save, Donate and Toss
- Clear off guest room bed for CB tonight
