So I had a day off yesterday, it was just a super busy day.
Kids to school, watch their assembly, get home and tried to do a quick tidy up of the lounge but had to stop to start getting ready for a funeral. So I ironed mine and ash's stuff whilst he got a shower. Just about finished doing my hair and make up and the taxi was here! Went to the funeral and wake, where we had a few drinks, bit of a buffet and celebrated her life! It was all really lovely and me and ash left around 4pm feeling a little tipsy!
My friend had picked up the kids from school and treated them to mcdonalds!
So I went McDonalds to pick them up but she ended up walking them back home with me. We chatted outside my house for 10-15 mins then my brother and Amy showed up to start fitting part of my kitchen.
So it was really nice to see them too. It took about another 2 hoursish for half the kitchen to get fitted because we kept stopping and chatting lol
They left, we had pizza and then just died in bed from it all!
This morning I've woken up groggy, wouldn't say I've got a full on hangover just absolutely worn out. But no headache or sickness or anything.
So I'm just gonna fix the grogginess and try to achieve something today
I want to get my lounge and kitchen tidied tbh so I reckon I'll just concentrate on that today
So no stepper, no logging,

Yesterday went well. Snack monster came to visit after I worked out bur was able to keep him at bay with low calorie popcorn.
Think I need to increase my protein. Going shopping today with Sara and Teigan so I suspect I’ll have plenty of time to research it in my phone. I’m good for about 2 or 3 stores but dang it seems malls have very little to offer men. Half the time you just see us scattered around looking at our phones with a bunch of our wife’s and daughters purchases around us. Honestly I’d rather be at work. Sorry just hate shopping… well hate shopping with my wife and daughter 😂 still not sure why we can’t just do it all on Amazon…
Ok done with that now… moving on.
Goals for today
Trainer ride
8-12 glasses of water
No beer
Stay under 2000 calories
No food after 8
Pretend I enjoy myself shopping today and stay on good behavior
Laundry when we get home

(I've already walked the dog for an hour, she found a mud hole so is now confined to porch and garden)
Yesterday ended up being good. I haven't posted goals for today but will make good choices and not snack (well, maybe one). This morning I've been working outside as the weather is nice. My plan this year is little and often, I will get the garden looking good!

Hour commitment - I won’t eat again until tomorrow1
-
Trying to get on here at nite.. because during the day, I just don't take the time.
I've been quilting all day.. making childrens quilts that will go to little kids, and using up some of my cute kid fabric.
But I ran to the store.. and HA.. ended up with orange candy slices and easter peeps in my cart. Mindless shopping again.. telling myself they are for my daughter. I know better.
I've been so bad with logging my food, but tonite, I took the time to write down what I ate. Write down everything! My calories were over 2300... and you know, when it says what your weight will be in 5 weeks.. .guess what. My weight stays the same. So when I wonder why I am not losing weight .. just maintaining.. its for this reason. I am eating enough calories to maintain my weight of 205 pounds.
I know logging is important ... so I need to get on here at nite instead of during the day when so many other things occupy my day... and get with it!
JFT, Sunday
1. log my food
2. concentrate on water
3. shoot for calories of 1500.. not too low that I overeat, but I think at my height, 1500 might help me lose? I know as we get older metabolism slows down.. but if 2300 means I maintain, hoping 1500 would mean I might lose? I am 72 .. maybe put that lower?
4. go to gym or workout at home. No excuses .. we have a home gym now.

Laundry when we get ho💩
Once again, a day of wins and losses. We spent the day shopping and the girls wanted to try this burger place. It was really good, however by the time lunch is over I only had 200 cal left if I hoped to stay under 2000. -some wins from the experience: got the regular burger and not the double, ate slow, didn’t eat Sara and Teigan’s leftovers.
Because I knew I was going to be way over 2000 calories . Decided to do a second workout when I got home. I was worried about it, I was really surprised about how strong I felt. Was a good workout. Still ended up going over calorie deficit goal, and actually had a positive balance, even with the exercise, but some positives:i didn’t go into the “well screw it mode” and continue to eat the kitchen and I didn’t snack after 8 so I’ll take the little victories.
Todays goals
Work out
Stay under 2000 calories
No beer
Grocery shop
Laundry
Log all food
10-12 glasses of water
Start getting tax papers together
Pay bills

JFT 3.12.2023
I will be happy2 -
Hi, can I join in too? I like the "one day at a time" approach to this thread, I'm trying to battle my "all or nothing" mindset (getting right back on track after a slip is hands-down my biggest obstacle to weight loss.) I'm Jenny, 58, happily married with 2 kids in their 20's, and have recently dealt with my next biggest obstacle - no more alcohol at home. I found a couple of non-alcoholic wines I actually like (Fre brand cabernet and rose) and shockingly they have actually been successful in scratching that itch! Overall goal is to lose 40 pounds, but first mini-goal is to get out of this "century" on the scale brought on by the pandemic...(ok, brought on by me throwing any self-discipline out the window during the pandemic.) I use "targeted journaling" to help uncover thoughts that might be holding me back...(just asking myself a specific question and seeing what thoughts pop up, then feeling through whatever feelings they bring up) though I'd like to make that into more of a routine. I find trying new recipes (especially ones that can be frozen for meal prep) very motivational! Yesterday I made a slow-cooker Indian Chicken Curry Stew that was yummy. Anyway my goals for today are:
1. log calories
2. get a moderate workout in the pool
3. take a walk by the water with DH, enjoy the sunshine
4. no alcohol
5. journal
I also have to clean the bathroom, but that will be the only big chore (unless DH has something up his sleeve he needs my help with.) Biggest goal is to relax today, enjoy the sun and make sure I feel like I enjoyed my day off so I'm not pouting and depressed that tomorrow is the start of another work week.
Hope everyone has a great day!2 -
@jennysweet58 - Welcome! Just jump in. There are different ways of reporting and using this thread. I don't have time today, but I'll try to write some of my own history and what I've learned later. Have a great day! But for sure, success comes from stringing days, even just hours together and many, many small goals and changes make a big difference. A big part of my program is "giving up guilt".more_freggies76 wrote: »JFT for 3/11/2023 (yesterday)✔️

Welcome @jennysweet58 to JFT! Always fun to have more people post.
Recap 3/11 Sat.
1) Move hourly / walk dog 14.2K 42 floors 11/14 / 4.33 mi with dog = happy dog & happy me
2) Log fast food lunch guess / not sure of supper ~ leftover soup / net calories zero / 72 oz. water
Wow, fast food really puts a dent in net cals! Good thing we don't eat it often, but we were on our way home from tax prep meeting in nearby town, hubby hadn't eaten & it was almost noon, so we stopped at a favorite joint. Logged my best guess. Net cals -429, sodium green (really?), fiber & carbs good, protein low-ish (for activity level), calcium low, 72 oz. water
3) Tax prep meeting 10:30 (good w/d advice for 1st full yr in retirement, need to contact advisor once tax returns & planning are done) / Breadsmith / prep offering envelope for Sun. church / shop OTC acct (deadline 3/31) / pay Medicare premium bill (due 3/25) / renew zoo membership (due (3/31) / research value of Honda Civic to sell / move clocks ahead / another ta-da?
all things on my list done TA-DA! happy me
4) Floss / retainers / pray / alarm for 9:00 church
just plopped into bed
JFT 3/12 Sunday
1) Church 9:00 Woke w/ headache & that, along with snow still falling plus clocks springing ahead, I decided to skip church. Hubby & I did daily devotions instead.
2) Move hourly / shovel snow (done once, maybe evening before bed?)
3) Leftover meatloaf & squash for supper / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water
4) Call Mom about possible visit this week / wash dishes / water houseplants / another ta-da?
5) Floss / retainers / pray
Weird winter we've been having. We didn't get tons of snow Dec. - Jan. like usual, and what fell kept melting. Since mid-Feb. we've had storm after storm. Local weatherman said we've gotten more snow from 2/16 - 3/10 than any year since 1900! Today we're in the middle of another winter weather advisory. Snow started falling 10 p.m. last night and hasn't stopped. At least not real heavy snowfall. According to forecast, it won't end until mid-morning tomorrow. Winds very light & falling snow looks beautiful, like in a snow globe. So far hubby & I cleaned about 4" off driveway, walkway & patio. Several neighbors did theirs as well this morning. We probably will shovel / snowblow again before bedtime, and hopefully one final time when snow stops tomorrow. Snowplow hasn't been in our neighborhood yet, but I know we'll get one eventually. Not planning to go anywhere today anyway LOL.
