Meh. Have to do something new...
For Saturday, get active
-Grateful for my progress. Shoveling/chipping snow and ice I slipped and went down Thursday morning. Neighbor walking her dog was present as I let out a significant curse. Good side is that I wasn't injured and was able to get on firmer footing and get up. No question a year ago I would have, at best, not been able to get up and at worst would have hurt myself.
-2100 calories. Saturday night: 3858. Started off track and never got back on.
-Work out for 90 minutes: Worked out for 39 minutes but didn't walk
-Invest 15 minutes in professional development: Nope
-Invest 15 minutes in personal development: Two YouTube videos on food tips. Key take away was to find what works for me. I could live on macaroni and cheese and chocolate chip cookies. It would be a stretch, long journey to move to kale being a favorite.
-Invest 30 minutes in home duties: Kept up with my stuff but missed cleaning the stove top. Shoveled and chipped ice. Making progress.
-Eat dinner at the table. Get back in the habit: Nope
-Already broke my 8:00 commitment but can still stay on track for the day: Started early but did cut off by 6:00
For Sunday. new day. End of the week and end of the month. It's an opportunity to improve not a reason to start tomorrow.
-Grateful for many influences. I've spend hours with Tony Robbins while working out. I've been struggling executing on this one but "do what you're supposed to do" is simple but foundational.
-1900 calories. Don't give in to a lost week:
-Work out for 90 minutes. Get active:
-Invest 15 minutes on personal development:
-Invest 15 minutes on professional development:
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties:
-Eat dinner at the table and don't snack on the couch:
-Eat between 8 and 6:

@WellingTX Can you recommend any Tony Robins videos (via YouTube?)1

I'm shifting gears a bit. Dieting while attempting to use your brain for higher academics counteracts each other. The headaches I get from dieting hinder the use of my brain power in performing at my academic standards. Therefore, I will keep logging but not overwhelm myself with the dieting aspect until after May. This semester is crucial and I can handle a few more months of inconsistent dieting in the name of academic success. If everything gets too overwhelming, I might need to stop logging for stress reducing reasons; we'll see.
Yesterday I took my rest day (which I'll switch with Monday, my scheduled rest day). I needed to be schoolwork productive and I was.
I have an important exam Monday but I should have the time to exercise and prepare. That's the plan.
Have a blessed Sunday my friends!!🌷🤓👍2 -

Log all Food - I did even with how bad it was.

Log all Food
We ended up having to buy a brand new sink, the Restore didn’t have any in the size we needed except for a large farmhouse style porcelain one that was $150. We were concerned about being able to get it clean and it was only $50 more for a brand new one so we bought the new one.
We got home and Rodger started putting it in, I went to physio and when I came home my kitchen looked like this.
@mytime6630 - Happy Houseiversary! It sounds like you had a wonderful day yesterday, you deserve it and I’m happy for you.
@jeschepp - I am up and down from one week to the next too. When I did this in 2018 my excel sheet really helped me see what was happening and I think I need to start that again.
@WellingTX - aside from the actual fall you must be proud of yourself for being able to get up and not be injured.
@MLHC1 - is this your last semester ever or for this year?
Yesterday the walking at the Restore and Home Depot put me in pain with my back again. I asked my therapist about it when I saw her afterwards. I told her that I had not lifted, bent, squatted, pushed or pulled and I should be able to walk for 1/2 an hour with a sitting break in the middle. I’m frustrated with the progress but she says it’s getting better. My hip inflammation is minimal. The sacroiliac joints are mobile and not locked. I just need to gradually build up strength again.
I need patience and it’s not one of my best traits.

@Snowflake1968 I am in my final semester for my Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry then medical school. It's a journey but why not?! 🤗2

Had a gorgeous day yesterday and never logged in, although I did log my food. Dog and I went for 4 mile walk & saw so many people outside. That's what happens here when it's sunny & 45F in Feb. When we got home, I had to wipe her belly & legs from tramping through all the snow melt & wet snow.
Today I've spent a fair amount of time on my computer, tracking & watching my oldest brother complete in his 31st American Birkebeiner. Usually it's this huge x-country ski race in northern Wisconsin but this year they held it over 5 days to socially distance everyone. No live spectators allowed either. The 2021 course was changed but still 43K for classic skiers like my brother. Fortunately I registered to track his times at checkpoints, and watched live video of him starting, midpoint & finish. The start was snowing like mad, and partly sunny at the finish. So impressed that he does this year after year. He's 10 days away from his 61st bday.
Late to post but the usual goals anyway...
JFT 2/28 Sun.
1) Church 9:00
2) Walk dog 3.7 mi in dreary misty weather but not icy! happy dog & happy me
3) Track Steve in Birkie only 6 hours & 6 min. LOL
4) Move hourly
5) Net cals zero / 14c water
6) Laundry incl. bedding / prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / water herbs / other chore?
7) Meditation app / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 6:00 alarm (x-train before work)
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. 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.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up2 -
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).

I'm starting to realize how much of my mood was based on food. Bad day=have a tasty meal to feel better, great day=have a treat to reward yourself. This may sound weird but it's almost like a loss having to disconnect feeling better from what I eat. Or relying on high calorie foods to feel better. Just my musings today. Got to spend the day with family and had a lazy morning, which I love on the weekends. I'll be shifting from fully working from home to two days in office this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) which I'm a little nervous about, but I'm sure will be fine. I think I will even like parts of it as I never wanted to be someone who worked from home. My other insight for today was to never go grocery shopping when hungry. So many temptations!

@beachwalker99 Yay for winging it! Good luck to your mom with her second shot!
@Bex953172 I am not crafty at all so your mirror project is beyond what I could do. The fading (option1) sounds easier but go with what you want since you’ll be looking at it
@Snowflake1968 Your kitchen looks amazing! I bet you love having a working sink again!4 -

I weighed myself this morning and I haven't lost anything, I'm lucky I haven't gained. Need to start logging again.
Last month I set myself the challenge of doing my exercises every day, then promptly gave up and stopped posting. It's important to me and I'm going to do better in March.

@jeschepp I completely get what you're saying here, I feel exactly the same. Food should be a pleasure, and it does feel like being denied something nice. I bet a lot of us use food to cheer us up/ celebrate.
I think it's especially bad this year when we are in lockdown. At home alone...it's like having a treat is one of the few pleasures left!
Sigh...keep telling myself that being slimmer, healthier, losing a clothes size...is a better treat in the long run!3 -

Hahaha omg. My mum sponged on a peachy kind of colour as a base then sponged gold over it (you can't really tell with the light in the pic) I agree it did look good but it's been that way for over 10 years.
Haha ill probably end up painting that much it will just layer up into a flat frame 😂2 -

Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
End of 2019: 196.4
End of 2020: 187.4
Today: 191.6
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning – March? ObG schedule for April. Schedule PCP for May.
7. Theater: Little Princess.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story. Open Wordpress in Safari.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 15 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks, horse stance for 5 breaths.
14. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?
WFTY: Persistence. Gonna pack for an after-school run. Overslept - yikes!Reminder: Last year's WFTY was progress, and I am ... actually, I was going to say content, but it's more than that. I'm proud of myself, and I'm pleased with the progress that I made. Even without the challenges throughout the year, I accomplished things that I should be proud of; and given those challenges, I'm even happier about what I was able to do.2 -
Mixed day, mixed week and mixed month. Gained .2# for the week, down 2.2# for the month
For Sunday. new day. End of the week and end of the month. It's an opportunity to improve not a reason to start tomorrow.
-Grateful for many influences. I've spend hours with Tony Robbins while working out. I've been struggling executing on this one but "do what you're supposed to do" is simple but foundational.
-1900 calories. Don't give in to a lost week: 2662 for the day, 2793 for the week, 2364 for the month. Those three to four hundred calories a day make a big difference.
-Work out for 90 minutes. Get active:65 minutes for the day including a shortened 26 minute 1.21 mile walk.
For the week I worked out for 6 hours 23 minutes including 4080#, 540 crunches, 108 push ups, 216 lunges and 7.14 miles in exercise walks. For the month I worked out for 34 hours 37 minutes, including 15,840#, 2100 crunches, 420 push ups, 1840 lunges and 51.53 miles in exercise walks
-Invest 15 minutes on personal development: @Bex953172 prompted me to revisit one of my favorite Tony Robbins videos. New Years Resolution - Tony Robbins Motivation. X Lone Wolf X. Great stuff on standards, rituals and New Years Resolutions. I'm a big believer that there is no single way, no one speaker, no one phrase that works for everyone. If there was, that would be all that was needed but Tony Robbins always educates or reminds me of what's important
-Invest 15 minutes on professional development: Walked with the bride, didn't listen to my podcast
-Invest 30 minutes on home duties: Done and done
-Eat dinner at the table and don't snack on the couch: Nope and nope. Quit using this as an excuse.
-Eat between 8 and 6: Done
For Monday it's a new day, a new week and a new month
-Grateful for my health, that I'm able to do the things I can and that I've made the progress I'm making. Have yet to make a fundamental shift but I restarted MFP on 01.01.2020 and I've been diligent in accurately logging my food ever since. 425 day streak. Long way to go but the improvements to my wellness continue to allow me to do more and more.

Happy March! Looks like this morning's rain is clearing off already, and the snow is rapidly losing ground to emerging growth. When I took my mom to her appointment yesterday, I was delighted to see the forsythia blooming in the hospital courtyard - such a bright and hopeful symbol!
Yesterday's tutoring session went smoothly, and my new book should arrive tomorrow. I have a feeling I might regret giving up my Sunday mornings once the weather warms up. Oh, well...
I got off to a bumpy start last week, but I think my head is in the right place today.

I'll be shifting from fully working from home to two days in office this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) which I'm a little nervous about, but I'm sure will be fine. I think I will even like parts of it as I never wanted to be someone who worked from home.
You will be fine, just follow guidelines. For seven months, I have been working three days in the office and two days at home. We are required to wear masks in common areas at all times, and maintain social distance if talking with a colleague. Sanitizer is available everywhere. We were never allowed to work the same day as our office-mate (we were two to an office), or we were assigned to work in the conference room. Due to furloughs and job changes, enough offices on our floor have freed up, and now each of us is in our own office (no mask required = yay).
We were scheduled to work five days a week starting today, but that got pushed back. The "Reopening Standard Operating Procedure" has not got final approval, and my employer is very SOP driven. Once everyone is full time again, we will be required to meet only on the phone or via computer. I'm not a fan of that, but will comply.
Personally, I am more productive in an office setting. I do enjoy the flexibility of work at home, but also hate that I am required to summarize for my manager what I work on EVERY DAY I work at home. I'm a salaried professional, for crying out loud. It's b/c in the past, employees have abused the telecommute option and this employer's solution is to micromanage everything. This employer (and my managers) does not distinguish between hourly and salary on job performance, which is really a shame. I remind myself of the positives of working for this employer when that bugs me.5 -
Recap 2/28 Sun.
1) Church 9:00
2) Walk dog 3.7 mi in dreary misty weather but not icy! happy dog & happy me
3) Track Steve in Birkie ski 43K classic style in only 6 hours & 6 min. LOL
4) Move hourly 12/14 & 14.9k
5) Net cals zero / 14c water
-89 & 12c
6) Laundry incl. bedding / prep lunch, snacks, water bottle & overnight oats / water herbs forgot / other chore? declutter = 3/4
7) Meditation app forgot / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 6:00 alarm (x-train before work) = 4/6
JFT 3/1 M
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (3 floors)
2) Bundle up (temps took a dive) & walk dog after work
3) Net cals zero / 14c water
4) AJNH draft report / keep up w/ emails / draft out of office message
5) Water herbs (happy they made it this far this winter) / prep lunch, snacks & water bottle / register for virtual Bellin 10K / declutter 15 min. / March perpetual calendar / at least one chore
6) Meditation app / unplug 9:00 / wash eyes / floss / retainers / Voltaren / 7:00 alarm
I have registered for a 30/45 challenge, as part of my virtual 10K this year. The Bellin Run is celebrating it's 45th anniversary. For 45 days (March 1 - April 15), the goal is to average 30 minutes of activity per day and everything counts, including meditation/yoga. I must log at least 1,350 minutes overall, and for at least 30 of the 45 days. I thought this would help keep me challenged without in-person races.
For my Jan. 1 - March 31 virtual Northeast Wis. challenge (walk or run the distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock = 139 miles), I have completed 97 miles so far using MapMyWalk app. Only 42 miles left to complete. I am pleased b/c Jan. & Feb. were mostly on treadmill, not my fav.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings
2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. 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.
4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ remember this year! ~ 1.31.21 ~ 2.28.21
5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking but include weights/circuit & other x-training
6) Participate in race or challenge events even if virtual ~ started MapMyWalk You Vs. Year 1021K on Jan. 1 / virtual 50 Mile Frenzy 11.27.20 - 1.15.21 (replaced Frenzy on the Fox for Jan. 2021) 50.37 miles 12.17.20 and continuing to log / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21
7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last year that should be repeated
8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ had this goal in 2020 and how ironic
9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up3 -

I am upping my water amount this week, I used to drink 2L a day without fail but I've found it so hard to do that lately. Last week though, except for one day I managed to get 1L in so if I up it another 0.5L I should be able to be at 2 again soon.
I also thought I would take measurements again, but forgot this morning. I'll do it tomorrow. I'm very scared of doing that.
@cschmitz110515 - That's great that they had updates so you could follow your brother.
@jeschepp - I don't think you're alone in emotions dictating our food choices. That's how we as a society were raised really. Weddings, funerals, births, all of the emotional events are celebrated with food. I ate my emotions for the last year with Covid and it's a hard habit to break again.
@littleblackskirt - I am very nervous about what I'm doing and how it will affect my hip and back, I understand your hesitation in washing the car.
@bex953172 - I think I forgot to say yesterday that I think the ombre effect from white to teal would be pretty on the frame.
@beachwalker99 and others with Spring like signs. I am very envious. We had snow all day yesterday again.
I should get to it, busy day again today at work.

Day 5 of 7 is in the books. 7 straight days of work is just plain old exhausting. And all my days are at least 7 hours long.
I had a whole list of things that I wanted to do the last few days but I got nothing but laundry done. And I don't think I'm going to get much done before my day off on Thursday. I'm just so tired all the time. I keep hitting my snooze button until the very last second. And then have to rush around before leaving for work.
So today is going to be very easy. Just hang out on the couch and watch baseball. Maybe start a new book. I'll probably be in bed at 7 tonight.5 -

Day went well until this afternoon. My grandfather (89) tripped and fell on a rug and got pretty hurt. He went to the ER which was backed up so he was there all day (he's just going home now) getting cleared for any bone breaks or internal bleeding. He's fine, just a deep muscle bruise. Needless to say I've been a wreck worried about him. I'm glad he's ok and hope he's able to manage his pain. The rug issue has been a battle in our family for years, but my grandparents are stubborn. Seriously if you have older family ditch their rugs now-so very dangerous for older adults! Heading to bed now with some nerves about tomorrow but I am sure it will be fine. Trying to remind myself of the things I am excited for too!

@littleblackskirt Thank you for validating me! I appreciate your understanding and I'm glad I'm not alone.
@cschmitz110515 Thank you for your kind words. I know I’m just nervous because it’s a change. I work in a medical clinic so the precautious are followed well. Our department is off to one side so that is also helpful. Your daily summary sounds like a pain in the rear!

Weigh 😊 trend ⬆️ Yesterday’s choices are showing! 👿
I’m late posting and am off to a sticky start with grilled cheese and ham on toast. This evenings meal will need carefully planning!
Another poor day for my JFT goals but the weather was beautiful and I ambled down to the beach and spent time just listening to the water and watching wildlife.5 -

It’s another beautiful day and I need to figure out how to enjoy it whilst meeting my goals! I guess I need a longer walk rather than an amble!

@jeschepp I hope your grandfather is okay, he did well to not break any bones. I could have written your sentence about the rug issue and stubborn parents, there is still one rug we don't agree on.
@ZizzyBumble that sounds like a perfect day.littleblackskirt wrote: »

Man I’m really floundering... I’ve been good (for the most part) with exercise, I’d give my self a C- since January as far as eating/nutritional goals, maybe trending just above that but not good enough for a C in the last two weeks.
Oh well just laying that out there.
