    JFT Tuesday
    - Up at 6:30 :neutral: Up, but not out of bed
    - Shower :(
    - Take morning meetings at home :( couldn't connect had to go in.
    - Morning meetings :smiley:
    - Work at home this afternoon :smiley:

    - Limit 300 calories on beer :smiley:
    - Home by 9:30 :smiley:
    - Bed by 11:30 :smiley:

    Had a really nice ride yesterday. I rode a little faster than I have been and climbed a little better than I have been. Made me feel good to ride up a bit. I didn't do the big climb because it wasn't included on the route. I thought it was, but it wasn't. It made for a really great ride for me and helped with my confidence.

    Tonight is either trivia or riding. I like doing date night with the hubby, but I went out last night and I'm going out again tomorrow. It would probably be better if we did a non-drinking date night maybe a bike ride date.

    Forgot my phone at home today, so I can't authenticate my work drives. I can still do teams meetings, but will have to go home between meetings and get my phone. Ughhhh...

    Anyway...
    - Up at 6:30 :neutral: yes but laid in bed until 7:30
    - Shower :(
    - Weigh :smiley:
    - Work by 8:00 :( 8:10
    - Meetings
    - Home to get phone
    - Back to work
    - Have some training to do at 11:00
    - Work on complaints and OORs
    - Home by 4:30
    - Date night of some sort
    - Home by 9:30
    - Bed by 11:30

    Happy Hump day y'all!

    I just looked back, and I lost six pounds in May. Yay! I'm on a great path. This gives me hope of reaching my goal weight. Let's see, I'm at 169 now, so twenty nine pounds to go, at six a month is about five months, so that's around November. It could happen! Yay!

    I'm grateful for this thread. Setting daily goals is really helping me. Thank you all!

    JFT Wednesday
    1. No candy, cookies or cake yes
    2. Eat under calorie limit yes by 397
    3. Yoga yes 1 hour
    4. Fast marching yes 15 mins
    5. Eat salad yes

    A good day I think! It was hard on my knee but I think that will be better tomorrow. I'm still jazzed that I lost six pounds over May, even though I had forgotten that I was so heavy in April. It changes so slowly it feels like nothing changed much. But when I looked back, it really was six pounds. Yay!

    Once again, I had to go all the way back to page 98 to find my last post. I am so sorry ... I don't know why this year I am having the hardest time sticking with this. I do great for a week... get off for a couple weeks, then vow to do better.
    So .. here I am again .. posting my goals and personal challenges. I have 20 pounds to lose ... so my monthly goal is going to be to lose 5 pounds a month. To do this... I have 1 simple goal ... limit my nitetime snacking. That is what derails me all the time.
    SO goals for Thursday, 6.2
    1. June challenge .. log food and JFT goals
    2. concentrate on water .. I don't drink nearly enough
    3. take metamucul 3x a day with 2 glasses water each time. My doctor told me to take this to keep myself more "regular", but, I HATE the taste of it, and I don't do it. But I know its important, so this will be another june goal for me.
    4. plan tomorrow meals .. we got a new charcoal grill. .. which hubby loves. so I'll try some chicken tomorrow nite.
    5. go for walk or the gym. I've been walking a lot ... but finding that the top of my feet hurt at nite. I hate this getting old stuff. I read it is tendons that are overworked. Darn .. I love to walk, and walk a lot. But lately I've been walking a different route with more hills, so I'm sure thats the problem.
    June challenge
    Goal 1: Log on here everyday with food and post JFT goals
    Week 1:
    Goal 2: Limit nitetime snacking
    Week 1:
    Personal Challenge - Lose 5 pounds per month
    SW April: 207 (-3.6)
    May 1 - 203.6 (-6)

    1.5L of water
    Log all Food
    Exercise - 10 minutes
    Log into JFT at least to post goals. Ceramics tomorrow night.


    @littleblackskirt - I am going to try to walk 100km in June. I am posting on FB that I’m doing this as well. We’ll see how my back and hip respond.
    I could join you in the snacking, however with Rodger working evenings that’s what I tend to do instead of make a meal. I could sure snack healthier though.

    @Anniesquats100 - you are really inspiring me. :). You all are really.

    @mytime6630 - I couldn’t do the Metamucil and asked my doctor for another recommendation and she suggested Restoralax. It had no taste and I only needed to take 1/2 a dose every other day. I read somewhere if the top of your feet are hurting to change how your shoes are laced. I think it was skipping holes and not tying as tight. @TerriRichardson112 was that you or someone from the other group?

    My daughter did the laces thing and it worked a treat. She missed out 2 or 3 pairs of eyelets in the middle which eases the pressure on her high instep. I think I posted it in the other group as a reply to someone else’s post.

    Stay under maintenance yes
    Only one snack, under 150 calories 126 calories
    Foot exercises yes
    Back exercises just a few
    Walk 50 minutes

    JFT Thursday 2nd June

    Stay under maintenance
    Only one snack, under 150 calories
    Eat proper meals
    Foot exercises
    Back exercises
    Walk
    Cut grass
    Plant bulbs
    Paint shelf

    Walking Challenge - 150 minutes per week
    Week 1 50/150

    Limit Snacking Challenge ( 1050 calories per week)
    Week 1 126/1050

    I like the idea of a weekly snacking limit better than my daily idea, so will try that.
    I'm going away on Saturday for a few days, combined work/holiday, so hoping I can stick to my goals. It's always tempting to think holiday = treats. I have so much to do before I go (you know, so I can leave everything perfect in case I never make it home again lol)

    I'd intended to exercise after class yesterday, but I was thrown off by a situation at the high school where I teach the early college class. Apparently two teens threatened students at another school with gun violence and there were lockdowns in both districts. By the time I arrived to start class, nearly half of my students had left for the day, picked up by concerned parents. The atmosphere was tense, with stepped up security both in the halls and outside the building. I hate that kids have to worry about their safety in school. I took a deep breath and focused on keeping the class engaged. The class went well, but by the time I finished I just wanted to go home, curl up under a blanket, and have a cup of tea. So no exercise...

    I had to really think about the snack challenge, as I don't always adhere to the three square meals a day format because of my schedule. Often I'll just grab a piece of fruit at breakfast or lunch and have a yogurt or a waffle with nut butter later in the day. I log these under snacks, but they're really not extra, just delayed. So for the snack challenge, I'm only counting items like cookies, chips, ice cream, and anything else that wouldn't be part of a normal meal. 150 calories is a couple of cookies or a small bag of chips. Ice cream is a splurge, so a weekly 1000 calorie limit will allow me to fit it in occasionally if I cut back on other days. We'll see how it goes.

    Happy Hump day y'all!

    Tim decided he's rather go out for Trivia than go for a bike ride. I'm kind of wishing he'd chose the other way, but I did keep my calories in check last night rather than getting drunk and eating a ton of bar food. Still ate bar food, but smaller amounts than if I drink to excess. We did average at trivia finishing in the middle of the pack. Would have done better, but seconded guessed ourselves on a few big questions.

    I also lowered my activity level on MFP to sedentary today as most of my days have had less that 7000 steps. It said I could only have 1210 calories for 1lb loss, I upped that to 1310, which is where I was when I lost well 7 years ago. It's amazing what an extra 100 calories can do for you. With lightly active i got like 1500 calories, but I wasn't losing well. Okay, I wasn't tracking well either with April and May being crap months for me. Back to paying attention and weighing daily for accountability.

    Tonight is our monthly bike club meeting at the NET (North End Tavern), so I I need to watch the intake again tonight. I will always have a few drinks with friends, but I can skip the deep fried goodness and just get a hamburger. They have great hamburgers... There is also pizza & cake at work today so the balance will be tricky with no exercise. I pre-logged it and if I have 1 piece of pizza (~330cal), One hamburger (~710 cal), I can have 3 beers and be only 15 calories over which I see as a win. Of course, that doesn't seem like much food. Guess I'll try it and if it doesn't pan out, I'll just start fresh tomorrow.

    JFT Thursday (almost Friday)
    - Up at 7:30 :smiley:
    - Weigh :neutral: Did it, but up 1 pound from yesterday, darn bar food
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley: (I don't know why I don't always shower at night... I hate getting up early to do it)
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - MFP Check in :smiley:
    - More meetings
    - Go to mom's to sort bills
    - Club meeting - limit 3 beers & 1 burger
    - Home by 9:30
    - Bed by 11:30

    Happy day y'all!

    My doctor told me I need to be taking this. Do you mix yours with just water? First I was only mixing it in 8ox water ... and doctor said to mix it in 16 oz, and drink another glass with it. But curious if you mix your with juice or something else? I hate the taste and texture!
