      Still not really up to making goals, but I am going to start being more active on MFP. Hopefully, this habit will lead to other good habits.

      @acrylicfox Your vitamins was my dishes before I moved. The other women can tell you! I fought with myself every day about doing the dishes! It was a source of many laughs! Now I have a dishwasher and it's only slightly better. Lol

      So a pretty good day yesterday! I got a lot done AND our furnace FINALLY works. It's been more than a year. I love my father but he's a pretty crappy landlord. At least to his daughter. Lol. Hopefully this year we won't have an outrageously high electric bill like we did last winter.

      It's 9:38 and I've been awake since about 6:30. Thank you Panda. But now it's time to actually get stuff done I guess. Lol

      Last night I stress ate b/c anxious about election, our country, high numbers of Covid cases in my state & work stresses for hubby. I hadn't done that most of this pandemic, but I kind of broke. I need to keep reminding myself of Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

      Yesterday I went home midday to work since painters showed up to paint all trim around doors and windows. We are having a stretch of warm weather (temps in upper 60s, very unusual for Nov.) & painters took advantage to finish our contract. I won't have to wear winter layers to walk dog rest of week, and I will enjoy that while I can. Last year this time, I was forced to walk on basement treadmill b/c we already had snow/ice on the ground.

      2020 Goals:
      1) Get weight below 160# (last time was 4/20/19) 10.31.20 159.0#
      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) / 6.30.20 / 8.6.20 (forgot July 31 & crazy schedule) / 8.31.20 / 9.30.20 / forgot 10.31.20 measurements but happy w/ w-i 159.0 finally below 160
      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
      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)

      My mum has a fridge magnet that's says "I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning, just not how it applies to me."

      I'm not gonna lie, I laughed and thought of you haha
