log on to computer for work by 7am
lunch at 12pm
done work at 4pm
son has haircut at 530pm
dinner after 630pm
need to remember to log dinner good or bad. sometimes im afraid to log dinner, sometimes i just simply don't because it's family time. but i know in order to stay on track i need to start. 🤔 but everything other than my dinner is easy bc i have labels. dinner is home made so its much harder to log. but i will accomplish that and you will see me celebrate tomorrow!3 -

V called me as I was leaving work yesterday to tell me she is failing calculus. She has struggled with the chaos that has been our life lately and fell a little behind in school. Calculus isn't her thing, we had tutors and such and she gets it, but then on the test she can't apply it. Good news is that she doesn't need it to graduate. Bad news is the counselor said she wouldn't let her drop it. Tim is going to call today and insist she drop the class. Getting an F and losing a $13500 scholarship to college is not an option. Besides she is going into fashion and will never, never, never need calculus. She feels a bit like a failure for not gutting it out, but the consequences are not worth it. She could have done it if she hadn't fallen behind when things went haywire, but catching up in that class is very difficult.
Sierra also called me yesterday, which is good, but it is hard to hear your baby struggling with such deep depression. She called as I was running errands and we talked for about 30 minutes. She just really needed to unload, and I think I did a good job of listening without trying to fix things. She needed mom, she already has a therapist & a psychologist. I did ask her some hard questions about her mood. Well, maybe not hard for her to answer, but hard for me to hear. Anyway, missed spin class and decided to get a pedicure. It was actually very relaxing. That an a little retail therapy made for an okay evening.
Went home and had leftovers as planned, but stayed up too late and drank too much. Didn't want to get up this morning and I was procrastinating until V came in and told me her car doors were frozen shut. Cue frantic getting ready with bare minimum effort so I could get her to school on time. I mean I don't want her to miss calculus, lol! She has practice after school so I won't be able to catch spin class this evening either. Maybe I'll hit the grocery store and cook for a change. I have Bible Study tonight, but I haven't done the study. It's ok, I'm familiar with the scriptures.

@teigansdad Few more snack suggestions for you: hard-boiled egg or siggi's skyr (Icelandic yogurt). Good thing about skyr, when you read the ingredients, you can understand the few items like milk & fruit, not a list of chemicals. There's a drinkable version I haven't tried yet. My NP wants me to always have protein with every snack & meal, and it helps me feel sated.
JFT late to post but for my accountability T 3/14
1) Move hourly
2) Walked dog 4.23 mi
in & around nearly every parking lot and sidewalk (snow-free) at nearby tech school ~ happy dog & happy me
3) Leftovers for supper / net calories zero / 72+ oz. water
4) Wash dishes (done) / laundry (done) but bring upstairs & put away / schedule eye exam (done) / download speaker's slides for W webinar / clear some papers / digital declutter / meal plan & grocery list for W / another ta-da?
5) Floss / retainers / pray
The official snowfall from Sat. night to Mon. morning was 9.9" but some areas got more. Pretty sure we got more but hard to tell with some of the drifting. Plus, hubby and I cleared snow 3X on Sunday and one final time Mon. morning. Here're some photos:
Snow piled around patio is higher than dog!
Backyard birdfeeders
Heated birdbath
Hard to even see our front stairs & walkway
There's a newspaper box next to the mailbox LOL

2023 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be satisfied if I can get back down to 160# this yearWord for 2022-23: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end ~ 1.31.23 ack! 2.28.23 not better but not worse

- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps =
- Registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.4.23 ~ skipped 2023 due to frigid temps with wind chill around 0F... didn't want a repeat of overuse injury from last winter. In 2022, I had to cancel race due to inflammation in knees from overuse & arthritis (medico advised) from walking in another frigid 5K.

Goals for 3/14
- log food ✅
- 40 oz of water ❌
- Clean kitchen and bathroom ❌
I let myself down today. I did log my food but I’m ashamed at how little I ate. I’m house-sitting for a few days starting tomorrow so I wanted to clean everything today so I could come back to a nice clean environment. That’s not gonna happen; motivation is just nowhere to be found. Probably going to regret that later but tonight even the smallest things seem like too much effort.1 -
Hour commitment - After I finish my hot cocoa, I won't eat again until tomorrow.1
-
@teigansdad - I like a wheat thin cracker serving, red seedless grapes and laughing cow cheese. When I was seriously losing I had that every evening.

That is way too much snow!!! We have been so lucky.. I live near St Louis, and this winter, we have been in a bubble it seems. We had only 1 snowfall all year.. and it was less than 3". Hoping we get through the rest of winter without it.. but boy.. you guys, and my family in Iowa and Michigan are really getting hit hard this winter. Take good care ... be safe.cschmitz110515 wrote: »

Been so busy that I haven't gotten a chance to catch up.. but I love all the new posters on here! We all learn from each other!
I've been trying so hard this week to log all my food.. and it makes me realize how bad my eating has become. This week I am trying to pick healthier selections, and eat less, but I am still going over every day.
I like all the suggestions on food to eat ... I'm going to the store this week, and plan to stock up more on healthier, less calorie versions so I'm not either starved all day.. or going way over my calories
But at least this week I am faithful with logging .. everything!
JFT, Wed
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. zoom call with daughter and her doctor.. hoping to get some help for her. I have called all around to try and find another psychiatrist that does in person visits .. they all do telehealth. I hate that.. so we'll keep the same doctor for now, but we will be in on the call to be sure the doctor knows all our concerns.
4. work on quilt
5.

@cschmitz110515 - that’s a lot of snow!
I haven’t posted goals again. The weekend comes and I get lazy.
I need to get this under control. I do believe one problem is that I’m in a lot of pain. I booked a massage for Monday. I’m sure I’ll need more than 1 but maybe they can get me a bit loosened up so I can at least put a bit of effort in. I am getting up and moving fairly regularly because I know movement is one of the best things I can do
I need the flare up to settle some so I can do the Physio exercises. I was feeling so good until the trip home from NB. It was a 22 hour travel day and most of it sitting in a car, airport or airplane.3 -
It was so nice to visit my older son, daughter-in-law, and younger grandchildren this past weekend. We took our daughter and her boys down with us - it was a nice break for all of us after a challenging week. Then back from our whirlwind trip to find that my mom had another fall, her fourth in four months, this time fracturing her pelvis. So my sisters and I will be coordinating support for the foreseeable future.
With so much going on, it's hard to focus on losing weight, but I did manage to log every day, and I even got in a couple of walks. Calories and sodium were high over the weekend - too much takeout food - but still under maintenance.
Simple goals for tomorrow and for the rest of the week.
JFT Wednesday, 3/15 - the Ides of March!

1800 calories💩 bur close
30+treadmill run after work✅
Log all food✅
Committee meeting✅
10-12 glasses of water✅
No beer✅
No food after 8💩
Slow down my eating (harder to do at work)✅
Good day yesterday
I did snack after I finished treadmill… nothing crazy but could feel the snack monster scratching at the door. Still managed to at least keep him under control for most part but dang he almost broke free.
Todays my Friday work-wise . Busy day on tap bur nothing new. Planned rest day today. Have a FTP test (functional threshold power) test planned for tomorrow… this will help me see where I am training-wise and dictate the power indices for next training block. I’ve been getting stronger for sure and healthier…
Like I mentioned in posts before doing this had helped me lose the weight but in a more healthy way. Last year k just did caloric deficit, intermittent fasting and exercised like a crazy man I lost the weight but payed for it in muscle loss and also ran out of steam and motivation mid summer.
I really want to sustain being healthy… NOT just get to a point and then relax.
Plan for today
1800 cAlories
No food after 8
Staff meeting
No beer
10-12 glasses of water
Log all food
Eat slow and sip water between bites

@Snowflake1968 Being in pain is horrible isn't it? Literally, it's "a pain". I'm not great right now either, I've booked an osteopath appointment but it's not for a couple of weeks. Even my hands hurt constantly at the moment. I do the same as you, making sure I'm moving regularly.
I didn't post on Monday and Tuesday, I was looking after grandson and I don't want to weigh food when he's around, I was just focussing on doing things with him. I'm glad to say he seems to be back to his usual good behaviour with me. His mother is in hospital again with mental health issues, so maybe that contributed to him playing up. He seems happy and settled now though.
Have to admit I want to eat everything in sight right now! It will take some serious willpower to get back on track. I'd like to be doing more in the garden, I have 2 trees to plant, but it was minus 6 celsius last night and the ground is frozen. It's been a very chilly spring.
JFT Wednesday 15th March
Log everything
Stay in the green
Back exercises
Housework

I also checked in on my recipe blog and had 19 people read the latest post! It doesn't sound like much but I only have about 10 subscribers and it's mostly family. So that felt kind of huge.
My kid came home from book fair with zero books but spent all the money. Does anyone else get upset about that? Just me? I feel like, we don't need more pens, fidgets, stickers or posters. Why can't you just buy books at the book fair??? Sorry, personal rant over.
