Yesterday started well and went down the pan.
Its a bit inconvenient that Casey borrows my phone all the time to play games, and I log whilst I'm eating otherwise I forget what I've eaten, so no phone = no log.
She broke her charger and I begrudge buying a new iPhone wire when the phone was just as rubbish and everyone else in the house is on android.
Only one more month til her birthday so she's getting a new phone/pad then and I will have full freedom of my phone again lol
It's also TOTM. Not the best time for a woman to decide to get back to dieting when you just want to eat everything in sight. Which is basically what I did yesterday.. and the day before... Aaaaand the day before that.
So I'm gonna give it a few more days lol no point fighting a losing battle 😂 and hopefully before the next one I've got some habits in place lol!

Turns out IBS and TOTM don’t mix well, so most of this weekend was spent curled up in bed with stomach pain and massive amounts of fatigue. Feeling a little better today, just in time to start another crazy week at work.
My work ID expired, and the system for getting a new one is inefficient to say the least so I can’t get a new one until next Wednesday, unless I spend a vast majority of time this week sitting in a waiting room hoping for a walk-in appointment. But then how am I going to get my day-to-day stuff done that doesn’t require this ID?
Basically I have no idea what my work priorities should be. Health-wise I’m going to keep pushing hydration and yoga, and try to squeeze a few new foods into my diet.3 -

Sold a stove and microwave stand and packed up the kitchen this weekend. Demo of the old kitchen began this morning. There will officially be no cooking of real food at my house for a while. Microwave or toaster only. Worked on decluttering other areas of the house as well, and I really need to get rid of the piano. It seems many people would like a piano, but nobody wants to move a piano...
Anyway, today is a long day. First meeting was at 6:15 in person... Means I had to fix my hair and makeup before 6:00. Mornings are not my strong suit. Then after meeting had to go home to meet contractor and take a meeting from home. Then back to work for more meetings. Easy night tonight. Dinner out bed early. Got another 6:15 tomorrow...

@Bex953172 @beachwalker99 Very happy to see you post again! You've been missed.
JFT 1/22 M
1) One pan lasagna for supper (made on stovetop, which is necessary until our wall oven is replaced) / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) Walk dog at tech school
3) Write/mail card to cousin recently in hospice / wash dishes / read / digital declutter / other declutter 15 min. / other?
Temps are finally coming out of the deep freeze. No wind chill warnings, and currently feels like 19(F) according to my weather app. Warm enough to wear winter layers and walk dog 3 miles! Heading off to tech school (plowed & salted walkways and parking lots) shortly. Wahoo!

Height 5'4"

Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA
2024 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year- 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
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes
- Walk dog 3-4 miles, treadmill when necessary in winter, weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
- PT (physical therapy) exercises to strengthen arthritic knees & hip flexor
- In 2023 I logged 726.88 miles, or 1,169.8 km & completed yearly challenge 11.14.23
- In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km (knee issues).
- I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps
January
- Registered 12.29.23 for Bellin 10K race on 6.8.24 & eligible to have race fee waived
- Register for my other usual events, and add other possible events
- Always a good idea
- Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in their late 80s and live 90 miles away
visit 1.12-1.13 canceled due to snowstorm
visit 1.21-1.22 canceled due Mom's bad cold - Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired
1.7.24 HH came over & visited at my invitation
- Not as much progress as I hoped last year, but not worse.
Keeping my Word for the Year: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship1 -
Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch. Can still have my dose of metamusal.1

@Bex953172 - I have a Cricut and as long as you are computer literate you can do it without paying for workshops. Look up YouTube videos - Jennifer Maker is a good one.
I knew Casey’s birthday was on Feb 2018, I thought it was around my daughters’ birthdays, but it’s actually my Godson and niece’s birthday.
@emgracewrites - I’ve never heard of a company taking that long to see someone in need of a new ID.
I dropped the ball again the last few days.
JFT - Jan 23
Log all food
1.5L of water
Move
I see a reflexologist tomorrow for my foot, hopefully we can come up with a plan to get it healed so I can really start doing something

My work supports the federal government, so that’s the ID that expired. Lots of red tape and paperwork to go through to get a new one issued. My supervisor had to cancel her appointment at the ID center so I took her spot and hopefully should have one by the end of Tuesday. Whether or not it works is a different story, but I’m making that a problem for Wednesday. 🙃1 -

My name is Amberly, I'm 29 living in Michigan. I'm a week sober after drinking nearly everyday for 2+ years starting when I was in the military which, obviously, has been horrible for my health. I loved the idea of this group as I've never come across it before.
JFT:
- I will not consume alcohol.
- I will do my Physical Therapy as prescribed (strengthen muscle around my knees).
- I will spend at least 2 hours working on homework (Finishing up college).
- Log all food consumption.
Ultimate goals:
-Have drinking under control, even if that means no alcohol.
-Graduate in April 2024
-Reach goal weight.
SW: 286.4 (lbs)
CW: 279.6
GW for 2024 220
Final GW: 160
I don't know how to do that nifty spoiler trick ya'll did. Please share how as I'd like to repost my ultimate goals without filling up the thread as a reminder to myself and in the event more people join.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea and I look forward to being an active group member getting to know everyone a bit!2 -

Hiya, I'm Bex, I'm 31 and I like in the UK. Congrats on being a week sober! Think the hardest part is starting!
As for the spoiler thing, when you go in the text box to post, at the top there's a button for bold and italic and the next button is like a backwards P and a line
If you click that it puts the code in for the spoiler.

Hey everyone!
Monday was an alright day, I managed to log pretty much everything, diary shows that I'm within calories by 76 but I don't think I was. Im sure I'd eaten something else.
Looks like ive got alot of work to do to fine tune my diet again. There's alot of sugar and a lot of carbs in there.
Struggling with the fact my kitchen scales broke too so everything's a bit of guess work too.
Yesterday was horrendous lol stuffed my face again but TOTM is nearly over and I'm ready to start fresh and make some changes. Also need to get water in, like ALOT more water.1 -
Kitchen remodel is going well. Demo is done and upper cabinets have been installed in the first 2 days. There have been a few bumps, well actually dents, in the new fridge and the hallway floor got scratched when they moved the appliances up stairs. Luckily Lowe's is reimbursing for the repairs assuming we can get a new door for the fridge. We will see what it takes to fix the floors. We have extra planks from where we got the floors a few years back, but I'm not sure how they fix it...
Without a functional kitchen, we have been eating out more than usual. I've been eating decadent food, but limiting portions. Tonight is trivia night, so pub food in on the menu. Nothing low calorie or healthy there, but again. Limiting portions is better than going hog wild.
JFT Wednesday
- Work by 8:00
- Set up list for Chinese Wednesday
- Give out trinkets
- Call vet
- Call Appliance repair person
- Protein bar for breakfast
- Meetings
- Order/Pick up Chinese
- Meetings
- Log food
- Stay within Maintenance
- Limit alcohol to 2-3 lite beers
- Home by 10:30
- Bed by 11:001 -
