Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow.1
-
Ok so I didn't log or post for 2 days and I'm content with that. Eating hasn't been the best with hubby home all week and holiday but c'est la vie. Log & post starting now.
JFT 11/27 Sat.
1) Walked dog 4.21 mi
happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly 8/14
3) Make root veggie stew for supper / net calories zero / 12c water
4) Declutter 15 min. / another ta-da
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 7:30 alarm (9:00 church)
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 YAY finished with 460.08 = 2X medal / 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 blessings0 -
Weigh Day!
Highest Weight: 262
Starting weight with MFP: 260 lbs (morbidly obese) Oct 22, 2021
November 27: 252.2 lbs (I actually saw 250 on the scale but it was days before 27th, even made my goal of exercising 5 hours total this week. But my body had the last laugh apparently. Going to try a fasting diet next week to scare my body into submission. Hungry is healthy for me, full is gaining weight. dang it. On the bright side, I actually had energy in the evening once or twice, which is very unusual for me.)
November Goal: 249 lbs (Milestone marker; top lb bracket of 'obese BMI' for me; no longer morbidly obese)
November Actual: 252.2 lbs
November Loss: -0.6 lbs
What I've learned so far:
- exercise in the evening after eating has less impact than exercise in the morning before eating, regardless of same caloric intake
3 Habits for Nov/Dec (tough time of year):
Started midday Wednesday 11-24-2021
Saturdays are rest days
Song for this habit set: Mindy Smith "Come To Jesus"
1) ⏰Get up at 5am, pray
↩️↩️↩️
2)👟 Insist on your exercise time at (earliest possible) 8:30am (no eating beforehand)
↩️👟↩️
3) 🎼Kitchen routine: kitchen w/ bluegrass station->Scripture & crafts (or journal, read, etc)

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). 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. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

Ongoing plans/ideas
1. 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 May 12. ObG schedule for 2022 after 9/28. PCP 9:45 AM Dec 22. Therapy 9 AM Mon 11/22 and 12/29
7. Theater: Read play for discussion Jan 12 7P.
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
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. Things I have learned: I can kneel on the scale to weigh in.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.1 -
Weigh In Day I'm up like, 4 pounds from last week, aaaaa. Not a realistic gain. I'm starting my period and have made a few days of poor diet choices due to going out, so most likely retaining water... So I'm not going to technically track it. I'll just be mindful of it, and work extra hard to balance myself off before next month starts!
I can't believe it's the end of November already. Where is time going?!

3 Habits for Nov/Dec (tough time of year):
Started midday Wednesday 11-24-2021
Saturdays are rest days
Song for this habit set: Mindy Smith "Come To Jesus"
1) ⏰Get up at 5am, pray
↩️↩️↩️
↩️
2)👟 Insist on your exercise time at (earliest possible) 8:30am (no eating beforehand)
↩️👟↩️
↩️
3) 🎼Kitchen routine: kitchen w/ bluegrass station->Scripture & crafts (or journal, read, etc)
🎼🎼↩️
I added further consequences/rewards for habits (yes/no crafts), and a larger consequence for going over calories (into the "red"). If I go "red", then I don't eat the next day. That has already worked. I exercised last evening to get it down, looking at my crafts that I wasn't getting to and thinking how I got here (I'm exercising instead of crafting because I ate instead of crafting.....bad habit loop).
Another week, keep on trying.
Happy Chanukah for those who celebrate! : ) 🕯️🕎🔥

The snow finally hit us yesterday. Only about 3 inches where we are. Already seen someone wheel spinning on our road, honestly.
I've also been hit with the cold from hell off the kids (all tested, all negative)
Everything hurts.
I'm hoping my new washer gets delivered today despite the snow. I'll be annoyed if it gets rearranged!
Have a nice day everyone.
Guess my goal is to get plenty of rest.3 -

Welcome @jrowens3102
We had a very unusual weekend, all weather related. Storm Arwen on Friday night/Saturday morning was quite amazing in the strength of the winds. My mother's and my son's house both have damage, and part of the ceiling has collapsed in my holiday let. Grateful I didn't have anyone staying there, I think the power is still off there. So I need to get there to clear up and see about repairs but the roads aren't clear yet. On Sunday it snowed and the roads are still white and slippy as it's icy. The local teams are busy clearing fallen trees off the roads so they're not available to drive the salt gritters. So many people working hard to get the power back on and the roads clear, very grateful to them all. (They get a lot of hassle from people who think repairs should be instant).
So spent the weekend feeding family, comfort food like home made soup and rolls. I didn't think about calories at all.
This week will be quite disrupted as I travel to holiday let, so will try to be careful with food but won't put too much stress on myself.
Weighed this morning, have stayed the same again so could be worse!
JFT Monday 29th Nov
Back exercises
Foot exercises
Sensible meals (I plan vegetables for tonight, hurray!)
Only one snack
Housework

@Bex953172 I hope you feel better soon!
@littleblackskirt Good to hear that everybody is okay and that y'all are able to look out for each other. Oh my, I'm glad nobody was in the holiday let when the roof came down! Yes, it takes time to clear up from a storm. Take it slow and safe!

I finished a craft project yesterday! I made an apron for DH.
I tried to make this chips recipe DH wanted (he emails me recipes often to try, likes to encourage me in the kitchen). It took all evening (DH decided to step in and do half of it because he was eager to try it out). It didn't turn out though. DH says I should tweak the recipe but I'm going to learn from my past mistakes/experiences and find a different one for him.- Habits won't form unless I try them. Trying them tomorrow morning no matter what DH says (he can still sleep in/toss turn; and I can still nap later in the day).
- I ate today's calories yesterday so no eating for me today.
- I will still cook for DH.
- Exercise
- Work on drinking more water/tea
- List of chores
- Craft for gifts
- crafts for sale
- try to find work/place
Happy Chanukah for those who celebrate! : ) 🕯️🕎🔥

I've been AWOL for the last few days. Nothing bad, just needed a break I guess. Back at it today, well sort of. I didn't weigh and likely won't until next week so I can assess actual damage rather than temporary bloat. The holiday was lovely except the pooch had to have another surgery. He is doing much better now. I've been way off target food and exercise wise over the last 4-5 days. I'm partially burying my head in the sand by not looking at the scale, but at the same time it's ok. I need a little reset.
JFT Monday
- Shower
- Work by 8:00
- Try to get a handle on some customer complaint issues...
- Put out fires...
- Do some training
- Home by 4:00
- Shower

Hi all, I am posting here because it's either that or go and buy some chocolate/have a bit of a binge! So I'm brand new to this thread but am going to have a bit of a whinge I'm afraid I've been trying to lose weight forever but have kind of committed more properly over the past few weeks. I've been eating better (not perfect, but better) and working out a lot with a personal trainer, as well as doing a couple of classes a week.
(Reading that, I know exactly why I'm not getting the progress I want to see)
But the numbers on the scale keep going up. And the muscle mass is going up a bit (I'm using boditrax as I'm a David Lloyd member) but so is the fat mass, and more so than the muscle mass. So I'm thoroughly pissed off at myself etc and part of me is thinking "well if it's not working when I'm working out, why not just give up entirely".
The logical side says that even though I feel like I've been working hard, my calorie intake is too high most days.
So my JFT is:
- Eat up to my calories for today AND THEN STOP (this is achievable for today)
- Try and get 8 hours of sleep
- Get ready to start again tomorrow3 -
Welcome to the newcomers! You can do it! I struggled for years and now I have a good relationship with food.

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 May 12. ObG schedule for 2022 after 9/28. PCP 9:45 AM Dec 22. Therapy 9 AM 12/29

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.

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.
WFTY: Persistence. Had a sub today. Nervous about how things went. On the bright side, my checkup was great! I now have a boot instead of the splint:I know. It's soooo fashion-forward!

JFT Monday 29th Nov
Back exercises no, felt very fatigued
Foot exercises no
Sensible meals (I plan vegetables for tonight, hurray!) yes
Only one snack yes
Housework yes
Plan for tomorrow yes
I'll be away for a couple of days so not going to post goals. Will be sensible with food (Have found that I don't feel good if I eat snacky food anyway, so it's better for me not to. I'm actually appreciating vegetables at the moment!)
Meeting roofer today, fingers crossed everything will be easily repairable.3 -

Apparently taking 4 days off had caused me to completely fall off the ledge. I posted goals yesterday, but as you can see I accomplished very few of them. I care, but I don't care enough. I enjoyed not logging, but I know that isn't the right path for me. I'll weigh in tomorrow and see the damage. I'm guessing I'm back up to 180. Good thing is, I can fix that. Of course, there are doughnuts in the breakroom and I really love doughnuts... Sigh, I haven't earned doughnuts and I'm not likely to get exercise in this evening.
Take the pup back to the vet for another post op check this afternoon. Hopefully this one goes better and he will be able to get the ports removed. He's had a hard go of it since his surgery.

Yesterday we got about 2" wet snow. This morning's walk was a bit challenging. For that little bit of snow in our city, snowplows & salt trucks don't treat the side (residential) streets, only the main arteries and intersections. So my walking routes (without sidewalks) meant compacted snow or icy where cars were. I stuck to the fresh snow sections whenever possible. I forgot the extra effort walking in my winter walking boots in fresh snow takes. Very glad I recently got the boots restitched. Only had a few slips, no falls, for the win.
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 ~ 11.30.21 slightly better
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 YAY finished with 460.08 = 2X medal / 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 -
@cschmitz110515 Doc says I'm doing as well as can possibly be expected, barring supernatural intervention. Well, that last bit is my addition, but he was quite pleased XD
I just have to remember that this is an opportunity to practice patience, which is probably a good thing for me 2 -
