    JFT Thursday 10th March

    Log everything yes, it was bad!
    Stay in the green no, 1566 calories. According to mfp it will take 5 weeks to lose 1lb, eating that amount
    Only one snack 2 biscuits in the evening
    No evening snacking sort of, I eat my meal, go and see grandson at bedtime, then come home for my drink. But last night I also had biscuits
    Foot exercises no
    Back exercises no
    Proper meal, veg yes
    Electric bills one, still to do the other
    Paperwork, clearing house another hour done

    I'm full of the cold yet again. Very frustrating, I never used to get the cold until grandson started nursery, now it's a regular occurrence. Need to feel better by Saturday!

    I was doing really well yesterday, even logging in advance. But I blew it by eating when I got home in the evening. I just feel so unwell, but I'm not sure eating will make it any better lol.

    JFT Friday 11th March

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Only one snack
    No evening snacking
    Foot exercises
    Back exercises
    Electric bill

    Okay so today I woke up and felt like posting goals? Soooo that's what I'll do.
    Not sure what's going on but I seem to really want to do my goals. Then not do them for no particular reason and then want to do them again.
    Maybe consistency should of been my word of the year 😂

    JFT Friday 11th
    - Log all food
    - 10k steps (took me about 2 weeks to put my watch back on.. whyy?!)
    - 6 waters (still feel a little dehydrated from my illness the other day, it's scary how bad dehydration can make your body feel so poorly and unable to function properly.)
    - Clean all the pots
    - Make a start on getting the laundry away.
    - Try not to sit down!! (When I sit down for 'just 5 mins' it turns into like an hour .. or more)

    My goals for today ~ March 11th
    1. Type up 3 items at work

    2. Tidy up the bedroom / organise it

    3. Set up my new Garmin watch

    Friday is my 'treat day' I can either chose to have a takeaway meal or chocolate & crisps. I'm just making as many changes to my diet as I can. Baby steps. I don't want to completely overwhelm myself- so I am eating healthy about 80% of the time currently.

    I love my Garmin! What kind did you get?

    Happy Thursday y'all!

    Yesterday was pretty good other than the fact that I made pepperoni rolls (little balls of goodness ~ 122 calories each) for hubby to take to work and he left them at home. I had a few for breakfast, then a few more for lunch and then a snack... You get the point. I ended up skipping dinner because I had so many rolls during the day. I ended up in the green, and my weight was the same today, so I didn't do too much damage. Well except that my tummy is paying for the high fat high carb day today. A little on the rumbly side.

    Spin class was good, had two folks there who I haven't seen in years. Boy I've missed my old regulars. It was great to chat and catch up. It was a little disappointing though that they were the only 2 who showed up for class. If they hadn't come, I would have gone to the Choir Parents Meeting. Glad I got out of that. Those things last forever. I love my creative friends, but organization and meetings do not seem to be their strong suit.

    JFT Friday

    - up by 6:30 :(
    - Shower :( Ball cap kinda day
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Service guy at 10:00ish

    - Maybe go out to dinner with hubby
    - Maybe go work on sets for theater

    - Log food
    - stay green

    Happy Friday y'all!

    I got a Garmin Venu (it was a Christmas present I'm only just getting round to setting it up 🙈) what garmin do you have ??

    Forerunner 735XT I’ve had it for several years and it keeps on ticking. It’s made for triathletes so it does swim, bike & run.

    JFT Friday 11th March

    Log everything didn't log evening meal
    Stay in the green no
    Only one snack 2 I think
    No evening snacking none
    Foot exercises yes
    Back exercises no
    Electric bill yes
    Grocery shopping yes
    Solicitor's meeting yes
    Pack for tomorrow yes

    Going to sign off tonight as I'll be away early tomorrow, starting my weekly changeovers at the holiday let. Holidays sure are starting early this year!
    Also want to draw a line under this evening, my son suggested takeaway so had a cheeseburger instead of a calorie counted meal. I've no idea how many calories that is to log. It was an unplanned family dinner, yet again grandson's mother said she couldn't have him when it was her turn. This happens far too often, I'm pretty sure she has the same cold that we have, and we're managing to look after him!

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Back from our trip! But am starting my preparation week for a colonoscopy. Quit my vitamins and fiber supplement so far. Not too bad for a few days, then I have start limiting foods with fiber. Drats!!! :/ But I can have rice, pasta, chicken, etc. The end of the week I go to completely clear liquid diet. Will need flexibility in eating for some of this.

    Anyway for tomorrow, here are my goals:

    JFT for 3/12 (tomorrow): ✔️
    1) No dessert today unless I want sugarfree or no sugar added.
    2) No peanut butter today (last 3/11)
    3) Don't weigh again until Monday, 3/14
    4) No hard cheese today (trying not to have cheese everyday) (last 3/11) Note: some grated parmigiana cheese has always been allowed and doesn't count towards hard cheese.
    5) Starting to allow honey again, but not everyday. Honey ok today(1-3 Tbsp.). (last - 2/23)
    6) No peanuts today & No pistachios today; walnuts & almonds ok
    7) Dried apricots ok today (up to 6or 7). (last 2/23), No raisins today (last 3/11)
    8) None of DH's treats today (except as noted under #1), including his stash of candy. If he leaves some pistachios, I can have them.
    9) No turkey jerky today.
    10) No turkey vienna sausage ok today (last 2/23)

    ▪︎Dinnertime: prep, eat, and decompress

    Last week us utter chaos!! Too many random emotions, medical appts, and helping Hubby get ready to leave back to work. Needless to say, I'm not even gonna look back at what I did not accomplish. I'm just going to move forward.

    (Just a little side note; If any of you are prone to prayer, I could use a few prayers. There has been a potential cyst discovered in my right breast and the diagnostic clinic cannot image it until 3/22. So, naturally I'll be anxious about this until I get confirmation from imaging that it's benign. Anyways, no worries I'm sure but I know the power of pray and would greatly appreciate a few. I'll, of course, be praying for positive results myself. Thank you for being a group of people I consider my JFT family. 🌺)

    Today's goal: Restore my healthy discipline.


    🌷🤗🌷

    Oh I'm sorry you have to wait for imaging. That must be pretty scary. But it's only 10 days away, I know for you that must feel a lot longer but it will soon come around.
    In the meantime (although I don't often) I will say a prayer for you! And I hope you do get positive results! Are they able to tell you then and there what it is or do you have to wait again for results? <3 xxxx

    @MLCTX Prayers & hugs for you!!!

    @more_freggies76 Wow, that's a lot of prep for your colonoscopy. When I prep (had 4 so far), I've been instructed to make dietary changes only the day before. I have to completely fast for 24 hours, no food of any kind, clear liquids allowed but mostly I just drink lots & lots of water. Then of course the horrible drink in the evening to clear everything out completely LOL. But since colon cancer runs on my dad's side, I want to be sure things are checked regularly. Best wishes.


    Recap TGIF 3/11
    1) PT exercises (new sets) before work :smiley:
    2) Move hourly :) 6.9K 20 floors 14/14 boom!
    3) Figure out supper / net calories < 300 red / 96 oz. water :D Felt the need to snack between meals more than usual & didn't fight the feelings. Logged best I could. -486, sodium not bad, fiber, calcium & protein excellent, 80 oz. water (plus 1 c. milk)
    4) Update Project Status s/s / update & submit weekly PAR, PRO, HW s/s's / BC-CC testing / emails current, maybe some backlog lol :smiley: good work day, especially being Fri. 4/4
    5) PT survey / check DVR / put away clean laundry ~ half / put away clean dishes / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? = 3.5/6
    6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat. = 2/7 just exhausted

    JFT Sat. 3/12
    1) PT exercises
    2) Move hourly
    3) Net calories <300 red / 96 oz. water
    4) Put away rest of clean laundry :) done / call mom & dad / pack up snowman decorations ~ brought boxes up from basement this morning / PT survey / water houseplants / declutter 15 min. ~ some already / another ta-da?
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / rinse / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 7:30 alarm (9:00 church)

    Not sure why but I was so tired last night, I fell asleep mid-evening sitting up, watching TV. So went to bed extra early & of course woke up extra early this morning. That's ok since we move clocks ahead tonight, and sunrise will feel like 1 hour later tomorrow. I hate getting up in the dark but know that days are getting longer each day.

    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 track daily on a separate app (helps me visualize). 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.

    Age 64, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG (need to be realistic): maintain 150

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
    06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
    06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
    07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180
    07/08 = 177.5 oops
    07/15 = 176.5
    07/22 = 175.0
    07/29 = 174.0 saw at least one daily w-i below 174
    08/05 = 174.5 dined out for Girls Day Out & ate Dad's cooking & baking
    08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
    09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!

    Last week us utter chaos!! Too many random emotions, medical appts, and helping Hubby get ready to leave back to work. Needless to say, I'm not even gonna look back at what I did not accomplish. I'm just going to move forward.

    (Just a little side note; If any of you are prone to prayer, I could use a few prayers. There has been a potential cyst discovered in my right breast and the diagnostic clinic cannot image it until 3/22. So, naturally I'll be anxious about this until I get confirmation from imaging that it's benign. Anyways, no worries I'm sure but I know the power of pray and would greatly appreciate a few. I'll, of course, be praying for positive results myself. Thank you for being a group of people I consider my JFT family. 🌺)

    Today's goal: Restore my healthy discipline.


    🌷🤗🌷

    Prayers my friend.
