1. log all my food
2. mindful eating

4. sew on daughters quilt
I am realizing tonite that I am trying to do to much sewing for xmas presents. So far, I have sewn 6 fleece blankets ... 5 for grandkids, and 1 for hubby. I have sewn a quilt for my son and DIL .. I have yet to finish the quilting part, but I have it pieced.And today I finished just piecing a queen size quilt for my daughter. She wanted navy blue .. it turned out beautiful, and another quilt hubby wants one just like it LOL!
But, I have been sewing nonstop for the past month.. and I am exhausted! I know I still have time to finish them, and I think I just need to take a break. And then today I even thought I would sew 6 large carryon bags so the grandkids can take their stuff home on the plane ... I think I may skip this!
Today was a beautiful day, and I felt tired and grumpy all day .. instead of getting out and enjoying the weather.
Tomorrow it will be 71 .. so my plan is to go outside and set up all my xmas light display in the backyard... and maybe stay away from the sewing machine for a break!
JFT, Tues
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. work in the yard .. enjoy the outside

I had a fairly decent weekend but have no
energy whatsoever!
The doctor is aware and we are monitoring it.
I’m not going to post any goals except to come back and drink water. Right now I have to eat more calories per the doctor to get iron in me without pills and drink water to keep my blood pressure in check.
I can’t walk or anything physical right now as even staying awake and working are taking everything I have.
@littleblackskirt - Canadians forget how to drive in the snow every summer. The first few snowfalls are brutal for accidents.
@mytime6630 - I have too many projects on the go too. Normally it’s one of my favourite parts of the holidays all the crunching to get it all done, but this year I don’t think I’ll get it done.
The only one that expects all of it from us is usually only ourselves.4 -
Welcome @sdl110121 hopefully you'll find this group a big help.
Lovely photos @cschmitz110515 especially the sunflower field one!littleblackskirt wrote: »JFT Monday 15th Nov
Sensible meals yes, then spoilt it by eating a mincemeat pie in the evening...no I wasn't hungry. It's not even December yet, why do I have these pies in the house?!
Send email yes, promised it on the phone so had to do it
Email friend no
Phone care home yes
Catch up on housework no, didn't do anything, not a single thing!
Also got out for a short walk and chatted to neighbours
My brain is mushy, I can't think what I want on my list today. I feel it's a bit of a cop-out saying "sensible meals" instead of logging properly. But it does keep me on track to a certain extent, not too high calorie and sensible portions.
Weighed this morning and I'm 3lbs down in a week. Sure it's not all fat but let's see if I can keep the trend going.
JFT Tuesday 16th Nov
Back exercises
Foot exercises
Sensible meals (cook something proper for myself and son)
Email friend
Housework

@beachwalker99 - Mostly tulips and daffodils. I buy special ones each year for about 6 of my planters, then plant up others with the best of the bulbs from the previous year. Any spares are chucked in the beds and plated where they land.
@mytime6630 - I think we often take on too much and forget that we need to pace ourselves. A day off sewing will probably do you good.
@Snowflake1968 - I'm so sorry that you are still feeling under the weather . I hope Dr can find out what's wrong and do something about it.
@Bex953172 - look for HOME in blue at the top of a page or click on the myfitnesspal at the top of the page and it should take you to your home page, which I see largely unchanged. There are problems with android devices which the tech team are working on. You can also access by logging on to the website at www.myfitness.com not ideal on a phone.
They have already made some changes in response to complaints, and reinstated some things and made others more acceptable.
Here are some fall pictures from our walk in Castle Park last week.

Happy Monday, y'all!
Didn't exercise yesterday. By the time I got home from work it was dark and I was tanked. Really just excuses, but it is what it is. Other wise yesterday was good. My weight from the weekend is coming off, and I'm ok with where I am. I've even moved to a smaller belt (YAY). Granted I'm on the first hole, but it didn't even come close to fitting a few months ago.
Up crazy early today, well early for me, 5:00am. I have a 6:30 meeting with one of my bosses who is in Japan. I hate this monthly meeting, it is always the same, and nothing seems to happen. Thinking 5:00am isn't so bad, maybe I'll start going to the gym in the morning like I used to. I did better that way, because after work I just want to crash.
Not much planned after work. Gotta take V to the dermatologist, but that's about it.

You have a lot on your plate. My fingers would be cramped and achy. A break seems the right thing to do! Christmas lights sound wonderful.1 -

Frosty morning, but we're expecting a bit of a warm-up later in the week. I really need to do some garden maintenance before the freeze sets in. I want to put a few daffodils in the new rockery, and I might try putting winter pansies in my deck boxes for a little end-of-autumn color. (Yes, I am avoiding housework LOL!)
Met my calorie and sodium goals yesterday, but didn't walk or get much done around the house. My noon meeting was cancelled, so I'm meeting up with my daughter today to do a bit of shopping before my afternoon class. Not a real walk, but at least it's not sitting.

Hugs to @Snowflake1968 and @mytime6630
@pridesabtch I am NOT a morning person. But if I wait to work out or even just shorter walk with dog after work, usually never happens. Sometimes too busy, sometimes just too wiped out by work day and loss of my determination. So I've got my a.m. routine but it's always in peril if I skip some days. LOL
@TerriRichardson112 Gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing.
Recap M 11/15 ~ planned rest day
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks (log)
kind of goofy day at work
2) Net calories zero / 14c water
-156, green sodium (yay!) & 12c
3) Contact J.S. re PA-E&T mgmt response / email user list requests for GA-IT f/u audit / ROP-BJ observation checklists ran out of time / catch up emails from long weekend = 3/4
4) 2:00 dentist (check sutures) sutures now gone = yay! / FSA calculations & paperwork (due F) / wash dishes / at least 2 other ta-da's ~ TA-DA = 3.5/4
5) Unplug 9:00 shopping for heated bird baths / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog before work) = 4/5
JFT T 11/16
1) Walked dog 4.13 mi before work happy dog & happy me
2) Net calories zero / 14c water
3) 9:00 EHN update (Teams) / 12:00 Facebook Live / 2:30 webinar / ROP-BJ observation checklists & more if time / keep current w/ emails / contact EE Ins for FSA questions
4) Shop for heated bird bath (old one seems to have quit working & is now a bird skating pond) / fill out FSA paperwork & submit if time / set up replacement Fitbit / other ta-da's?
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (Just Move It Day at work = walk dog)
Yes, another photo. Enjoyed a beautiful sky on dog walk this morning.
2021 Goals:1) Weight 150#
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 up
Word for 2021: Gratitude ~ be mindful of & appreciate my many blessings2 -

Our news keeps going on about snow that's gonna hit the UK. Making a big deal about it (as usual) but it's never as bad as they make out it's gonna be.
And then I think about you lot and the amount of snow you get when it's like huge walls outside your house when it's all been shovelled and snowploughed off the roads. Our amount of snow is laughable in comparison!
I know Bex lol. I was obsessed with the winter weather as my job involved driving and walking outside. But now I'm on this thread I feel I couldn't possibly complain about it, the USA and Canada has it so much worse!
I think because we only get heavy snow occasionally a lot of people don't know how to drive in it properly so the roads soon become blocked. Also (if I read it correctly) in the US you're expected to clear the walkways by your house? Hardly anyone does that in the UK, so it becomes dangerous when it freezes over.
I wish I had a pound for every time someone told me to "watch the path, it's slippy" and I had to bite my tongue to stop from saying "why didn't you clear it then?" I'm obsessed with clearing my paths, out there first thing in the morning.
The path near the girls school is very slippy! It's got stone flags going down and the street is cobbled. But when wet it's really really slippy and then when the leaves fall then get soggy its even more so. I nearly slipped twice the other within a few steps of eachother 😂 and the kids have ended up on their butts many a time 😂
They've cleared the leaves now but it's still not much and the cobbles even get slippy so it's a choice of breaking your ankles or landing on your butt.0 -

So welcome to the newcomers I hope you enjoy this group as much as I do.

@mytime6630 You remind me of Molly Weasley from Harry Potter, the way she knitted jumpers for everyone at Christmas except you make quilts.
To be fair I love how your quilts looks, they look amazing!
Casey still has Tracie's quilt she made. @PackerFanInGB I forgot to say, she was using the quilt the other day and I explained my friend from another country made it just for her. And she understood and she was like "wowww!" She wanted me to tell you thank you, she was well happy with it!!
@Snowflake1968
I hope you start to feel better soon!! *Big hugs*
Would it be so bad to have iron tablets? Surely it would fix the issue quicker than trying to get it from diet alone?
My friend has to take them ATM and she always forgets!! I have to tell her off lol x2 -
Hour Commitment - done with lunch. After I have my dose of metamusal, I won't eat again until after 5 pm. No more ground turkey or dried apricots today.1

JFT - Wednesday Nov 17
1.5L of water
JFT Post
Felt a bit better today.I am going through menopause and have been having a cycle since oct 20th, the meds the doctor prescribed on Friday are seeming to help. Hopefully only a few more days and I’ll start feeling normal. This could also be the cause of my high blood pressure too so now need to keep an eye on it becoming too low.
