Pretty low key day. Hope you have an awesome Thursday!
Pretty good day yesterday, I stuck to my plan for date night. I went over calories, but stayed under maintenance. I call that a win. Hubby got some awesome news yesterday that I can't share with RW friends. They are so worried that he is looking for another job they gave him a huge bonus if he stays for 3 years. It's in stock options so it may go up or down slightly in the next 3 years, but it's enough to put a kid or 2 through college if we cash it out. At first I thought he was joking about the amount, but he wasn't. Yay us!
Anyway, this morning I already screwed up a bit and had a doughnut at a meeting. It's like it was half eaten before I even gave it a thought. There were doughnuts yesterday, but I resisted. Today I was not as strong. So my goal today is not to let this set the tone for the rest of my day. No chance for exercise today. Driving to Columbus after work with V. She has a swim camp Saturday and Sunday. We are staying with my niece and her wife Friday and Saturday night. I look forward to the visit. The camp is a bit of a waste because V has a shoulder injury, but we've already paid for it so she is going to go and at least listen and learn. She goes for an MRI Tuesday to see if she needs surgery. Honestly I hope they can do surgery to fix it, because PT is not working.
Also no AC at work. It's 9:30 and I'm sticking to my desk. If it gets much hotter I'm leaving and working from home!
That's about it... Now for goals
JFT Friday
- Work by 8:00
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Don't eat a second Doughnut!!!
- Log food
- Pack & drive to Columbus
- Bed by 11:30, probably earlier. I'm already tired!
Have a wonderful day my fabulous friends!2 -

JFT Thursday 12th August
Log everything yes
Stay in the green no, 280 over
Back exercises yes
Walk no, it was wet and I was sore
Accounts? nope, still procrastinating!
It's nearly 3pm already. I had internet problems all day so haven't logged anything. I will be aware and eat well.

weekly weigh-in 2021 -- every friday
Name: Joan
5'11"
69 yrs old
SW: 195
1st goal: 185
2nd goal: 180
Ultimate goal: 170-175
Word for the year 2021: Consistency
My weight history:SW Year 2017: 217
SW Year 2018: 195.5
SW Year 2019 : 206 -- met my goal weight of 178 on December, 2019
SW Year 2020: 182.6 -- gained 15 pounds through the pandemic
SW Year 2021:195
Goals for 2021:These are the healthy habits I would like to do in 2021:
1. Lose 25 pounds to get to my ultimate goal of 170, and then learn how to maintain it.
2. To be better with planning my meals each week
3. to get up in the morning, and have a rough idea of what I plan to eat the rest of the day.
4. To stop mindless eating. To learn how to eat to live, not live to eat.
5. To make drinking water a regular habit.. and drink 8+ glasses of water a day
6. To curb and stop nitetime snacking for good.
Weekly weigh-in. I plan on weighing every friday
SW Friday, Jan 1st: 195.6
SW: Feb 5: 191.8
SW: Mar 5: 193
SW: April 2: 190.4
SW: May 188
SW: June 190
SW: July: -- skipped this month
SW: August: 184.6Friday, Jan 8: 194.4 -1.2
Jan 15: 194.6. +.2 I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.
Jan 22: 191.4 -3.2 5 out of 7 days were good ...
Jan 29: 194.2 -- this is what happens when I don't track, give into stress and emotional eating. But ... My word for the year is consistency... that means consistently also recording my weight .. and being accountable. So its a new week.. again.
Feb 5: 191.8 -- trying to get back on track with controlled nite time eating
Feb 12: 194.3 --- I don't know why, but I can do good for a week, only to blow it the next week. I think the pandemic, the cold dreary weather is leading me to just overeat.
Feb 19: 194 --- a very small loss, due to 4 days of overeating granola bars and Kind bars.
Feb 26: 193 -- 5 out of 7 days I did OK, especially with nite time snacking.
Mar 5: 193 -- stayed the same, but had 2 days of eating icecream and peeps
Mar 12: 192.6. Started challenge of the rest of the month NO nite time eating at all.
Mar 19: 190.4 -- 5 out of 7 days NO nite time eating. Goal next week ... 6 our of 7 day no nite time eating, 8+ glasses water @ day.
March 26: 188.6--- 6 out of 7 days I did good .. no nite time eating. Last nite... food was in control of me. I was so tired, and instead of lying down... I grazed the entire nite. So much that I had trouble sleeping. So while right now my weight is down, I expect it to go up. So next weeks goal is 7 out of 7 days.
April 2: 190.4 --- not the best week.. but I am still down 5.2 pounds for the first 3 months of this year. So I will look at the positives.
April 9: 191.2 --- even though I had a OK week, I think eating ham for 3 days .. hoping its just water weight.
April 16: 187.6 -- a week of more mindful eating, especially in the evenings, plus a lot more exercise with walking and garden work.
April 23: 187 -- a very small loss, but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I will continue to work on the nite time snacking and emotional eating.
April 30 188.8 -- got into the ice cream again.I am just 10 pounds before I am in a healthy, normal weight for my height.. but those 10# have been the hardest. I met that goal in 2019 ... trying to get back there.
May 14: 188.0 -- A week of terrible back pain, so I wasn't really watching, or caring what I ate. So happy that I at least did not gain much.
May 21: 185.6 -- lots of walking and yard work this past week.
June 4: 190.1 -- this is what happens when I am not paying attention to habits, etc.
Missed tracking weight almost all through june and july. back on track now
July 30: 186.8 --- trying to plan dinner meal better, and doing a lot of walking. Gave up caffeine .. on week 3 now.
August 5: 184.8 ---- good week. No caffeince, which actually helped with my eating. Planning at least dinner meal is also helping me.
August 13: 182.0 --- good week. No caffeine. I feel hungry when I go to bed .. but am not hungry in the mornings when I wake up. So that tells me its not really hunger.. just habits that I am slowly breaking .. eating at nite. 5 more pounds to get to my first goal weight of 178 -- and I will be back in the normal range.
3 -
much better week... but really busy, so I haven't had the time to respond to posts.
but I am proud of myself ... 5 more pounds to be out of overweight. But more so because I have stopped all caffeine, and have greatly reduced my nitetime eating.
JFt, Fri
1. log all food
2. plan ahead ... fish tonite (fish fry)
3. concentrate on water4 -
Sitting at optometrist office waiting for hubby to finish his first eye exam in years. Let's see how well I update JFT on my phone.
Recap 8/12 R
1) Walked dog 3.64 mi before work, humidity slightly less at 90% but really appreciated lower temp of 60F
happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during webinar 14/14 boom! 16.9K
3) Just preordered box dinner ~ prelog / log beer tonight / net cals maintenance / 12c water=ok
4) Submit leave request form for tomorrow / submit PAR, PRO, KRO s/s / update Project Status s/s / OOO message / update CPE log / 2:00 webinar / some vouchers testing / emails=8/8

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 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable

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 up1 -

The last two days have been nice though. The day before yesterday I had off. I don't think I really did much. I had an interesting sales call with a gentleman about an incredibly expensive writing program. Not something I was going to sign up for after hearing the $6000 price tag but still a cool program that if I were in a much different place I might actually do.
And I got lost on main highway while on the phone. In an area that I know pretty well. I think I spent about twenty minutes driving up and down the road before I realized I hadn't actually gone far enough north. Lol. I think that's the epitome of distracted driving. 😂
I started working on the outline for my new paranormal cozy mystery though! So that's really exciting! Lol.
And yesterday I had a really great appt with my therapist. This was only the second appt but she fricken ROCKS! Lol. She knows exactly how to talk to me and is super proud of all the coping mechanisms I already do before I even started seeing her. Lol. She wants me to start doing guided meditations which I've done in the past. She gave me the name of a free app that she uses that have super short ones. It's called MyLife. I'm going to start doing one before I leave the parking lot at work as a way to kind of kick start my transition from work to home. I also really hope that it helps me to not be so angry at the really bad drivers on the roads around me. Lol. NJ is known for it's terrible drivers. Lol
Today I work a closing shift for some strange reason. But I'm working with one of my work wives so I'm okay with it. And I'm off tomorrow too! Have to take my car in to get looked at though. Something's up with the transmission. Sometimes when I accelerate it does a kind of bucking motion. Dad thinks I might just need to get my transmission fluid filled or something but I'm going to bring it in anyway. I have a warranty so why not use it.
Okay! Onto some goals!

Today has been super chill. I ran a few errands in the morning and made a few phone calls. Matt had some issues at one point but actually managed to self regulate and didn't let it spiral tooooo much. I'm beyond proud of him for being able to do it! He has a very very hard time with it due to his cogative disability. Just that fact that he was able to bring himself down in like 15 minutes was absolutely amazing! I know probably seems like a strange thing for me to post about here but I'm just so amazed at how he handled it! Yes he got really angry. But he didn't yell, didn't throw anything, and didn't do any damage. He just sat on the couch for about 15 minutes and worked through it. Now granted I don't know how it went in his head bc that's not really something he can articulate to me. But I'm so proud. Lol. This is a HUGE stepping stone for him!
Anyway! Lol. Here are some goals for the day!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts to remember.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- The scale is only one gauge of progress. Others include Measurements, clothes fit, improvement in general well-being/fitness.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
Tracey: Celebrate what you do achieve. Your life is stressful enough without beating yourself up.
I have an eye infection so reading and commenting is difficult, so will,leave it for now.1 - Name: Terri

I’m here! It’s been a rough week and it shows on the scale.
I need to get back to it and not let the stresses of everyday life get to me.

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 The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie), Hood Feminism (Mikki Kendall), Caste (Isabel Wilkerson).
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 – Late Oct? ObG schedule for 9/22. PCP Aug 17. Therapy July 27.
7. Theater: Read play for discussion August 3.
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.
13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. 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. Yeah, so definitely seeing some results on the scale. Not the good kind. *sigh*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.3 -
Monday morning again, the weeks go by so quickly. I feel like I'm failing at the moment, lose a few pounds then put them back on again. At least I'm still a stone less than last year. Sunday was spent with family, I know I'm lucky that my sons want to spend so much time at my house, I do eat a bit more when they're here though.

Recap: Nothing to report since I don't remember if I logged after posting last Friday from optometrist's office. I did try to eat better & not snack so much. Didn't drink enough water & headaches. But 3 good dog walks, and lots of other walking on Sat.
JFT M 8/16 ~ planned rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks
2) Net cals zero / 14c water
3) GA-C/V vouchers testing / catch up emails / 12:00 Facebook Live
4) Wash towels / prep bday gift & card / other ta-da's on list?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app before bed / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work)
My self-made three day weekend was productive & fun. Hubby and I took care of lots of errands on F after his eye exam. Happy to learn astigmatism is his main issue, not cataracts like I had.
Sat. started with farmers market & 3.9 mi walk with dog. Hubby's sister came to visit so we toured the Washed Ashore exhibit at Botanical Garden, sculptures made entirely of items found on shorelines. Unbelievable all the junk and very sad. In the evening we went to a hot air balloon rally. Those are always fun, watching the balloon inflate and ascend, then chase crews return, re-inflate balloons and "glow" after sunset.
Sun. was early dog walk before 9:00 church, three loads of laundry on the line, and helping hubby with yardwork. Finished the day by baking salmon and trying new cauliflower recipe, not bad but not great.
On to the last work week before vacation next week. Yay!
Some Washed Ashore sculptures:Hubby with his namesake Stanley the Sturgeon

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 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable
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 completed 97.44 miles total / Tour de Northeast WI virtual challenge: cover distance from Oshkosh to Gills Rock (139 miles) 1.1.21 - 3.31.21 ~ completed distance on 3.21.21 / 30/45 Build to Bellin virtual challenge 30 min. activity for total of 1,350 min. in 45 days 3.1.21 - 4.15.21 = 146 out of 339 in 34:00:42 / Hope 2021 Face Mask virtual 5K (benefits No Kid Hungry) anytime 5.11.21 in 58:04 / 100 Miles in May virtual challenge ~ 134.68 miles would've been more if I hadn't sluffed off on dog walks one week / Bellin (virtual) 10K on 6.19.21 after thunderstorm in 1:45:49 ave. pace 17:02 per mile / Titletown Wellness Shoreline Challenge: virtual distance from Gills Rock to Pleasant Prairie (232 miles) as many times as possible 6.12.21 - 11.26.21 / Packers 5K IN PERSON 7.24.21 48:36 ave. pace 15:39
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).

So Saturday Daddy got in a car accident. He's okay but totaled my parents only car. So they're using ours. He actually went to the hospital which amazed me bc he is very anti-hospitals. They didn't admit him but he was there a while. Well past dark. And Mom doesn't drive in the dark. So I picked him up at 11:30. I was wake 20 hours that day. He is very lucky that I love him.
Didn't make any goals yesterday. Not even my own personal To-Do or Ta-Da list. I closed last night and was grumpy pretty much the whole time bc I didn't sleep well.
I close again tonight but I'm not nearly as grumpy so I'm hoping it goes well. IREALLY hate closing. And have only done it maybe a dozen times.
But I did make a To-Do list for today. We'll see how much I get done. Some of it will have to be for when I get home around 8:45(hopefully). And I'm off tomorrow! Woohoo!

Had a lovely weekend with my niece and her wife this past weekend. I didn't eat much, but what I did eat was very high calorie. Such is life. Got school shopping finished with my youngest and she survived her swim camp so all in all it was a win. I was exhausted this morning, luckily I was working from home or I would never had made it. I mean it's already 3:30pm and I'm just now checking in. Things were going pretty well today, then I got thrown a HUGE curveball at my 12:00 meeting. Instead of being an auxiliary auditor tomorrow, I'm now lead auditor. I've never done this before and I'm a wreck. Not only do I not really know what I'm doing, I'm also in for a 12+ hour day of not knowing what I'm doing. UGHHHH! Luckily I speak well under pressure and probably won't make a fool out of myself...3

I am feeling a bit under the weather today, so my planned activity has been a no go. Le sigh. BUT ....
JFT
- Eat within my calories. Over eating won’t help me feel better!
- I can at least do one walking video, just for some steps.
- Go to bed at a reasonable hour.
- Work on lesson plans and printing.
This is our soft-start week for school, new bed times, and a new Field Trip group meetup on Wednesday. We don’t feel ready to begin this year. Which is odd because usually we are raring to go! But so many things continue to be different or cancelled, it is stressful. Life marches on, and I am determined to let this season of life be one of fitness. Forward! ever be thy watchword!3 -

JFT Monday 16th August
Log everything yes, although I had to make a good estimate of weights at evening meal
Stay in the green yes, as I ate back walking calories
Back exercises only a few, not good enough
Walk 40 slow minutes in the morning, and around 30/35 mins to the park with grandson in the evening
Laundry yes, dodgy weather for drying!
One extra job mowed front lawn and weeded flower bed
I've decided I should focus less on 1200 calories and more on keeping busy and doing things, especially outside, in the hope it will make me feel better. I tend to go through life just plodding along and coping, but now I think I should focus on my mental health as well. So yesterday I went for a walk in the morning, was quite slow and painful. Gardened in the afternoon, then park in the evening. I knew I shouldn't have gone to the park as I was already hurting, but I wanted to! So today I'm paying for it and will need an easy day. I would love to be someone who goes for a walk first thing in the morning, must be a lovely way to start the day. Unfortunately it takes me a while to get moving and I end up in more pain if I try too early. But I will keep trying to do something outside every day, fresh air is good!
