Great job on the walking!! How do you keep track of your miles? Do you use MapMy Run? I used to use that, but now I basically walk the same few routes, so I know the distance .. I don't have a fitbit.
But I typically walk between 4-7 miles a day, and would love to keep track and see how far I go also? Just curious how you are logging the distances?
And yes, you will definitely reach your 456 by the 25th at the rate you are going! I am not looking forward to colder weather though. Last year 33 was my cutoff to walk .. and then I would go to the gym.2 -

Nothing particularly interesting to write about yesterday. Went slightly over, but not by much and saw a little drop this morning which is nice. Overall am down a couple of pounds from when I started tracking again, despite eating nice things at the weekend. Hopefully this trend will continue!bookmeister86 wrote: »Had a very nice weekend.

🎯 JFT ONE GOAL CHALLENGE 🎯
Live! Laugh! Love!!! NOW!!! Mindfully!!!
Mon 8 Nov: Today I will finish sorting out my summer clothes for items to donate, and store those I am keeping.
I realised when I started to do this that it was better to sort the winter clothes as they would be better to donate at this time of the year. I have jumpers and trousers ready for donating. Who needs 13 pairs of black trousers? I discarded 5 pairs. It’s a start! Right? 😂
Tues 9 Nov: Make a birthday card for my daughter. Her birthday 18 Nov. I have Craft Group Meeting this morning so should get it finished.2021

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.

@mytime6630 I use MapMyWalk app to track walking & hiking miles. I also participate in the You Vs. The Year Challenge and I completed that last month. I have/had a Fitbit, which broke, trying to get my warranty claim honored.
Recap M 11/8
1) Walked dog before work 4.4 mi ~ due to clocks change, didn't need my headlamp but still wore Noxgear & dog wore blaze orange vest = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (log)
3) Net calories zero / 14c water
green & sodium not so bad, 14c
4) Pick up video from Surveillance / ROP-BJ testing / print doc for hubby before lunch = 3/3
5) Gas in car / bread order for Thanksgiving / balance bank accts / schedule cc pmts / run dishwasher / another ta-da? = 6/6
6) Unplug 9:00 / FLOSS / RETAINERS / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:30 alarm (dentist 8:00) = 6/6 yay
JFT T 11/9
1) Dentist 8:00 & 2:00 (turns out I have infection by ancient root canal & need tooth extraction & implant)
2) Net calories zero / 14c water
3) ROP-BJ testing / Facebook Live 12:00
4) Email photo to Fitbit (again) / at least 2 ta-das?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog 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 ~ 4.3.21 ~ 4.30.21 not pretty ~ skipped 5.31.21 & 6.30.21 ~ 7.31.21 accountable ~ 9.1.21 horrible after vacation but recorded ~ 9.30.21 small improvements yay ~ 10.31.21
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 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 (228 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 / Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K IN PERSON 10.2.21 47:34 ave. pace 15:19 second half pace 14:48 / Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K 10.9.21 in person 52:10 ave. pace 16:48 hill climb 1:44
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 -
@cschmitz110515 re: dentist - ouch! I hope it goes smoothly and that you recover quickly.
I use fitzee sometimes to track our hikes but we hardly go anymore. Your walks sound like fun!
JFT Monday 11-8
1) Diet: watch carefully, green is your favorite healthy color
Went over min goal but with exercise still okay
2) no free internet until after dinner dishes
slipped a little but remembered my goal
3) 5am $, make it work at those hours
well I showed up but no work available so....
4) 9:45am (post DH lunch) workout, shower, dress again (just accept it and work with the routine) Ran late due to unforeseen circumstances, then started to drag along afterwards
5) 11:15am music practice and crafts; try to knit and sew both
I got this far but was really, really late
6) 2:30pm dinner, 4pm serve dinner (really work on this)
Late late again, still haven't done dishes, but needed to run errands so. At least dinner was there!
7) 8:15pm evening and bedtime, use alarm, hygiene, tea, set devices and H2O for night, read, journal, move to bed, pray, read
Dinner late ->Dishes late-->bed late; played music instead of videos to keep myself company (DH bed early), Major struggle against sweets as I was feeling negative emotions, but I stuck with "no".
JFT Tuesday 11-9
1) Diet: watch carefully, green is your favorite healthy color
2) no free internet until after dinner dishes
3) 5am $, make it work at those hoursStayed in bed to catch up on sleep, no motivation to check in to find no work again (and then sigh the hours away until I can actually DO anything else in our apartment - noise restrictions
4) 9:45am (post DH lunch) workout, shower, dress again (just accept it and work with the routine)
5) 11:15am music practice and crafts; try to knit and sew both

Happy Monday y'all!
Yesterday was rough, my head was swimming all day, luckily most of my day was spent seated so the vertigo wasn't so bad. I struggled when I got home just doing normal stuff. Went to bed early and the ceiling fan made me throw up. Turned that baby off real quick, I was spinning without it. I do feel much better this morning, my head whooshes occasionally, but not every time I move and I didn't fall today. Long day at work today more auditing. YAY!
Food choices have been in the shitter today. Had a muffin for breakfast and chips for lunch.
No plans for tonight, still not feeling up to physical activity.

More conferences this week, so I'm swamped. I met my basic goals for logging, calories, and water yesterday and my November Challenge goal by taking a nice long walk in the park. Same basic goals today, but I'll have to skip the walk to fit my errands in. I really need to catch up on reading and responding to posts on this thread. You are all so inspiring!

Hey you, stop worrying about it we know you're here and you're busy! Don't stress yourself trying to fit us in, were all still here for you whether you have time to comment back or not
Well done on the full day of smilies 3 -
Hey all, went missing over the weekend again.But the kids have been hectic. Just constant giddyness all weekend so I feel like my brains been scrambled!
Glad they're in school. 6 hours of silence 😂
We had takeout (two actually!) last night, last month we couldnt afford any luxuries like that. So we got take out pizza from one place and take out desserts from another.
It was all super nice! And the girls loved it too. Although the sugar boost from dessert meant they didn't fall asleep til 11pm? And they went to bed at half 8 (late for them but had to wait on the takeout)
No fitness or nutrional goals today.
My one goal for November challenge is just to clean clean clean today.
X
Well I did clean clean clean. My lounge was spotless
Notice I said "was" lol. I don't mind because I know it's 'clean' even though it's cluttered up again from the kids.
Yesterday I blitzed the kitchen, not finished the pots but it's all really clean.
Today I folded about a million items of clothing and got most of them away.
Only to bring up two extra baskets from downstairs.. to then fold, still need to put them away. And soaked the kids school tops in bleach to rewhiten them and then transferred them to the washer.
Tomorrow Im gonna try finish cleaning the house, all of it, now I've got the big tasks out of the way!
So hoover and mopping tonorrow and finishing the rest.
I think then, and only then I'll have time to focus on some fitness stuff 4 -
Hour commitment - finished lunch and now I won't eat again until after 5pm, except my dose of metamusal.3

Thanks to those of you who responded to my novella! LOL! I'm pretty happy and I know you've been on here with me through some rough times, so it felt good to be able to share some good news for once!
It's late so I won't post goals for today, but I wanted to at least post. I had dental work done today and couldn't eat earlier and unfortunately I think I over-compensated just now.
@pridesabtch I hope you are feeling better!

Well, I'm almost caught up with reading. It's wonderful to see so many in this group posting, and I wish I had more time to respond. It's been a challenging semester, but it's nice to take a break from the mountain of student essays and catch up with JFT friends.
Welcome to all the newbies - you've joined a great group! I find so much support and inspiration here, and I hope you do too.
I also want to say thank you for the birthday wishes. I did have a lovely, quiet weekend - just what I needed.
@Bex953172 - Wow! Sounds like you had a super-productive day! I'm sure you got quite a workout
@PackerFanInGB - So glad to hear you're doing well! What a relief to be able to leave those meds behind.
@Snowflake1968 @littleblackskirt @pridesabtch - Hope you are feeling better!
@TerriRichardson112 - Love your Francis Bacon quote. I think too often I get so caught up in what I need to get done that I don't make time for what I want to be doing.
I have so much more to say, but I need to wrap it up and get some sleep. Another early morning and long day tomorrow...5 -

@TerriRichardson112 - I have too many black pants too!
I am pretty good at keeping at buy one, donate one rule though because I have very little closet space.
@pridesabtch - after having my blood pressure issues this past week, I have to ask if you have had yours checked recently. Also, do you have an inner ear infection maybe? Hope you feel better soon.
I had a bit of a shock today. My supervisor gave her notice. I’m not surprised, our administrator has set her sights on her in recent weeks and it was really bad on Friday.
I was shocked even more to find out that on Friday when I left due to my BP, the administrator tried to blame her for my blood pressure being high! Told her that she was overworking me and asked her how she would feel if I was to have a stroke.
I am so upset to be used against her that way when in no way is it the truth. If anyone is causing it to raise it’s the administrator. The more I think about it the angrier I get. I’m sorry to see her leave, but she needs to do it for her own sanity.
5 -
@Snowflake1968
Tracey, that’s disgraceful behaviour from your administrator, but does seem par for the course for her.
Try not to let her behaviour get to you. Difficult, I know, but essential for your well-being.2 -

Still took it easy yesterday as there were still a few episodes of dizziness. Woke up today feeling good.
Another audit day at work. These are long, boring days. Filled with yummy breakfasts and high calorie lunches. I had a muffin and chips yesterday, but they messed up my sandwich so my lunch was lighter than anticipated. That is what kept me under calories. Not sure what breakfast is today, doughnuts or muffins, but lunch is pizza. Pizza is my favorite food so I will definitely have a slice or 2. I can plan for that, and still end the day in the green with any luck.

Eugh I forgot yesterday I said I was gonna finish the house today.
Now I really don't want to lol.
Casey wet the bed in Saskias bed last night (hopefully that will teach Sask a lesson about always inviting her into her bed) so gotta get that clean today.
All the girls school tops came up really clean. Couple of stains still.. they look more like grease stains? I'll have to see what Mrs. Hinch says about that one lol.
Also need to get Ash his meds today. He lost some and hasn't had his bipolar meds for 2 days. He's been okayish. Mainly just stayed in bed the last two days and just relaxed rather than getting himself worked up. But hes been feeling down, I tried yesterday to sort it but he kept putting it off for some reason (I had to borrow his phone I've not got credit) but he never passed it me to ring them despite asking him like 4 times

@pridesabtch I love pizza too, but since I (recently) started MFP I've been avoiding cheese when I saw how dense it was. Oh dear I miss pizza and my DH would eat it weekly if I made it. I like how you plan ahead on what you're eating to make sure you're tracking well.

@Snowflake1968 I'm sorry about the stupid stress at your work. Wish working was less complicated by that kind of stuff. Good for your supervisor for leaving the stress; hope she found a better job. Hope your situation improves there.

I have been so inconsistent on the community, but I've been slowly getting back on track with tracking and exercise. My water intake is slowly going back up to where it needs to be as well. It is a slow, difficult battle with my ears...hoping they will be better by the end of the week so I don't need to make another trip to the doctor.
I'm just taking things day by day right now, allowing myself time to rest and heal when my body tells me I need it.

3) ROP-BJ testing / Facebook Live 12:00 = 2/2 short work day with appts.
4) Email photo to Fitbit (again) / at least 2 ta-das? had to make overnight oats, lunch, prep clothes for noon walk, folded & put away hubby's work shirts = 2/2
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work) = 2/2 screwed up by dental work & early to bed
JFT W 11/10
1) Walked dog 4.42 mi before work & now over 400 miles towards virtual shoreline challenge, just under 53 miles by 11/25 happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks (log)

6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 7:00 alarm (walk dog before rain?)
Yesterday at my routine 6 month dentist appt, I was surprised to learn I had an infection (knew it was sore a bit). I usually breeze through my exams and cleanings. This tooth had a root canal many, many years ago, so I never thought about it. Anyway, later same day, I'm back for tooth extraction & bone graft. I was nervous & needed an extra shot to numb me. Ibuprofen right after and during night, feeling fine this morning, just a little tender. Now wait for healing 10-12 weeks before the implant, and eventually a crown in about 6 months. Since tooth is on the side I normally chew on, I'm relearning to chew on my other side. Does anyone else usually chew on one side?
Good news from Fitbit: they are honoring my warranty claim, and sending me a replacement. I had the option to apply a discount on another type of device, but I like my Charge 4. I'm excited to start monitoring my total & hourly steps again. But it was nice to have that break for two months, not always checking my wrist or the app.

9) Declutter bedroom, home office and basement ~ made good progress in 2020 & want to keep it up2 -
