2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
3) Net calories zero / 14c water
4) GA-IT finish review of User Privilege Report / Build a Gnome class 12:00 / review last user report, thankfully much smaller / perform user per system count / set-up & write F&Ds / update Project Status s/s / submit PRO, KRO, PAR s/s / emails?

Since roads are again snow & ice free, I was able to get outside & walk dog before work. After record high temp two days ago, temp was 18F (-7.8C) so I wore my winter layers and was fine. Still beats the treadmill. Thankfully high winds have subsided. Dog was thrilled to be out walking, wore her blaze orange vest (not very warm) and didn't notice the cold until near the end. We may have snow tonight, so have to wait and see what roads will be like. Hopefully, won't be enough to keep me and dog from walking.
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 blessings1 -

How do you even cope with temperatures that low?! I don't know how to convert F to C. But you saying it's -7.8 is beyond me lol. It was 2C the other day and I couldn't handle it at all lol. Today was warmer maybe 6C but I still can't feel my toes after the school run!!

I just watched Spiderman with Marley... I never knew how difficult it would be to watch a film with a kid who (possibly) has ADHD. In fact, after the film I'm more convinced she does. Shes done nothing but fidget and not stopped talking and I doubt she was even watching the film 😂
I've just had to endure the whole film of her calling him batman.

It's been another busy week, but the end is in sight - only 3 more classes next week (two on Monday and one on Wednesday). Of course, then I'll have a mountain of final papers to grade, but I've got some time to get those done. With my Christmas shopping still incomplete and my sister's family coming to stay for a few days, I've been desperately trying to multitask. It doesn't help that Covid rates are skyrocketing here in NJ and NY, and plans to see my sons and their families are up in the air. My husband keeps reminding me not to let the stress get to me, but it's tough. I just need to breathe. And make sure I get enough sleep.
I haven't been logging, but I am trying to keep an eye on what I eat. I was doing pretty well until yesterday when I just said the heck with it and went to Shake Shack for a burger (The Smoke Shack with bacon, cheese, cherry peppers and Shack sauce). Decided I needed a pomegranate yuzu lemonade instead of a water to wash it down. Snagged a few of my daughter's fries as well. Rebellion or stress relief? Maybe a bit of both.
My goal for the weekend is to make decent food choices and keep the stress under control.4 -
Hi all, just checking in.
This has been a crazy up and down week of emotions, ending in us getting to have a place to move to (instead of homeless). I've been busy doing things related to the purchase (and getting the guy to respond to finish the paperwork), and the move. We'll be broke when we get there in a few months, but at least we'll have a place to stay rent free.
I haven't been doing as well exercising, and more relaxed on calories. Still trying to not go too far over the goal (did poorly yesterday; just threw up my hands as I was too stressed out).
I want to be a few more tens down (20 lbs?) by the time we move. I need to be the best I can to help my husband in moving and building our shelter before the fall storms hit. That's our year 1 goal. I think I'll be blogging about it, carefully, as I want to keep my privacy.
Someone mentioned cold. It has been an unusually mild winter here in the Inland Northwest USA, until yesterday, when it managed to slush snow and freeze solid. With the planned "budget cuts" (we are going to let you down with needed service in predictable area weather) the roads were a disaster to the point of "shelter in place" being broadcast to everybody. This in a place that's used to 14F or colder. To those who can still go for walks outside with your dogs, oh I wish!! I needed a "tow" from my northern husband to get to the storefront (even they had neglected their normal sanding of the walkway).
Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do about goals and routine. There is just SO MUCH to do before then but I want to keep going with weight loss. I know I really do better with a more focused routine. A big list is necessary, but something more focused helps me want to keep trying. So I'll think about it and just try. Try.
Have a good evening!3 -
Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow0
-
I haven't been exercising or cutting back on calories as much (though trying to keep it limited) this past week because of stress and just trying to prepare for something (move, nomadic, what?). Last two weeks have been date-shy as bad news/events tend to always happen in the past two weeks (or next week) and last year was hell during that time. Thankfully nothing serious has happened so far and I actually had a happy birthday. Not a single bad news that day. End of week, we finally found out we are in fact moving to a place, not going to be nomadic so that stress is relieved. We'll be pretty much broke when we get there, but we will have a place to camp on while we build shelter. Thank God.

Having grown up in Wisconsin, US, I'm used to winter weather with snow & cold. Lots of choices for outer wear and dressing for the weather is key. There're outdoor winter sports if interested. One of my favorites is snowshoeing. That can really get the blood pumping, and way better than feeling trapped indoors all winter. I just looked up Dec temps where I live: average high is 29F (-1.6C) and average low is 14F (-10C). January averages are a bit lower and Feb. about the same as Dec. Btw, I use a converter on the internet for fahrenheit to celsius, I never remember the formula.3 -

Looks like no one is posting daily on JFT right now. Busy with the holidays I'm sure. I need to post for my own accountability. So I'll keep plugging away.
Recap M 12/20 ~ Struggled to get up at alarm & no workout before work.
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks 8.3K 13/14
2) Net calories zero / 14c water -173, sodium not horrible, fiber good, protein excellent, only 10c
3) GA-IT count users per system & finish F&Ds / complete report grid / office summarization / organize & label w/p folders = 4/4 yay
4) 5:00 haircut / buy sympathy card / make memorial gift / gas in car / register for Frenzy on the Fox 5K / register for Seroogy's Valentine 5K / wash dishes / another ta-da? yes TA-DA = 7/8
5) Unplug 9:)0 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog? treadmill?) 6/6
JFT T 12/21
1) Walked dog 3.61 mi before work happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks
3) Net calories zero / 14c water
4) Review GA-IT folders & submit for review / deal w/ in-charge request / Facebook Live 12:00 / TransUnion report / some of email backlog
5) Make memorial gift / write sympathy card & mail / prep stockings / charge headlamp & dog's LED collar / another ta-da?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 5:40 alarm (walk dog? x-train?)
Roads for now are in decent condition. Another snow shower predicted for today, maybe 1" accumulation, if not packed and icy, ok to keep walking dog. Always better than the treadmill.
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

Okay, so it’s been 3 JFT’s
Drink 72oz water - dec. 18,19 and
20th
1st day was very hard to get it all in
2nd day easier
3rd day even better
Walk on treadmill 40 min. Dec.18.
And 20th
Missed a day the 19th. Speed 3.7
Research what my macros should be- done
carbs 50%, Fat 30%, protein20%
With one day to figure how close I come to it. I realized my issue is too much fat and to little protein. Carbs are spot on.
So, my JFT 12/21/21
Continue with 72oz water
Walk on treadmill 40 min. 3.7 speed
Continue to research and learn how to balance macros
Take a car load of things for salvation army

So very sorry I have been MIA ... I have not even got on here to read and catch up... but think of you all, and so glad so many are still hanging in there with the holidays.
I've been busy getting ready for our son and grandkids to visit. I baked 3 different kinds of cookies, make rice krispy treats. Since they like to eat out a lot at their favorite restaurants, and I didn't prepare any "meals" but instead make lots of snacks/appetizers, since we would be opening gifts. Shrimp, chex party mix (minus any garlic salt since son is allergic to garlic), pigs n blanket, pepperoni quiches, cheese/crackers/ to slice, artichoke dip and crackers, etc.
I got stuff for breakfast prepped and ready to cook .. sausage/egg/cheese casserole, spinach quiche, oven french toast, made homemade bannana nut bread, cinnamon rolls, cheese danish.
The holiday always get me down, so I had to work hard to stay upbeat. Hubby has not been feeling well .. very tired and fatigues easy. He will have more bloodwork in January, and I try not to think the worse, but its been hard not to. Since he is tired, he also has been in a down mood.
So this is part of why I have not been on here.. just not feeling it.
But the past week, with prepping food for our son to visit, has helped me so much. It reminded me of the days when all my siblings and I would get together.. large family gatherings.
We talked to our son thursday morning .. ready to pick him up at the airport friday. Thursday nite he calls .. my DIL has covid again! And our son was exposed to 3 people that all tested positive to covid. So needless to say, the trip was cancelled.
So we packed up their xmas gifts yesterday... I packed up most of the baked cookies to send to them, and the appetizers I was able to freeze .. we'll eat these xmas eve and new years eve.
Really disappointed, but with covid, we know we have to be safe.
But.. I am maintaining my weight, hubby and I are trying to eat as healthy as we can. My goal is just to maintain!
I will be starting a new thread for 2022 if that is OK with you all, and plan to get better at posting more frequently.4 -
@MrsHermit Congrats on the land purchase! Hope everything works out well for you. And good job on creating habits, especially this time of year.
@mytime6630 So sorry about your change in holiday plans. Better to be safe. I would love to join your new thread next year. Do you know, I've been part of your little JFT group since Jan. 2017? It's been great!!!
@pafinkssteffes Good job figuring out the nutrition you need to focus on. My nurse practitioner stresses that I should eat protein with every meal and snack.3 -
Hour commitent - I won’t eat again until tomorrow
I’ll be here in 2022!0 -
@MrsHermit Congratulations on your land purchase. You've achieved the first step
@mytime6630 Sorry your family have had to cancel, especially after all your preparations. This virus is the gift that keeps on giving isn't it. Everyone's so fed up with it now.
Here in Scotland we've been told we can still have Christmas day, but to limit contacts before and after. New rules from the care home, but I can still get in to visit.
@cschmitz110515 I'm impressed with your dedication (and your dog walking!). I've haven't posted as I've not been making much effort. Not enjoying food much at the moment and never know what I want to eat.
Happy we're now past the shortest day
JFT Wednesday
Only one snack
Housework
Deal with car (tyre and brakes)
Wrap presents
