    JFT Friday 9th February

    THink before I eat ✅
    No snacking ✅
    No eating after 6.30 pm ✅
    PF exercises ✅
    Back exercises ❌
    Grocery shopping ✅
    Drop off charity donations ❌ but did add more to the pile

    I'm quite surprised I managed not to snack as I really wasn't feeling it yesterday! I had to force myself out of the house to shop, which I only did as I knew it would be even busier if I left it until the weekend.
    Will make more effort today.

    This week has been so busy .. and realized I haven't posted since Wedneday! We are working in our garage .. needed to move a lot of stuff so hubby could fix up holes where mice are getting in the house! But .. its a lot of work. We gave away a bunch of wood .. todays project is to clear out even more stuff, and try to organize. And... with the beautiful weather, I've been doing a lot of yard work. I rake leaves over my flower beds in the fall.. so cleaning all that up before I get compost delivered. Just not used to so much physical work.. and on my feet all day! But ... I got a good start on my gardens getting ready! And .. I have 8 trays of seedlings coming up already. ... ready for spring!
    My weight is still the same. I am down 4 # since January 1st ... but its discouaging. But I was watching videos last nite... even though I think I am staying within calorie limits .. I must not be because I am maintaining my weight as it is. Ha.. don't want to maintain this weight.
    Tonite we are eating out, and tomorrow its superbowl, so I know I'll be eating junk food .. in fact... I am planning on it. But I will still watch how much I eat .. I can have a bowl of chips, but stop at just a bowl.. not grab into the sack of chips.And tonite we are meeting friends at a mexican restuaruant.. so I can make good choices.
    Its about choices. I can easily go over calories by noon if I choose the wrong foods. So going to work on choosing more low calorie foods.
    JFT, Saturday 2/10
    1. log all food
    2. be mindful of calories.. and choices I make. I'm planning on a margarita and fajitas tonite.. so eat lite today
    3. concentrate on water. I should be drinking 100 oz of water .. aim for 75 oz.
    4. work in garage

    • In 2022 I logged 500.4 miles, or 805km (knee issues).
    5) At least 7,500 steps per day
    • I can earn $10 every month on my Medicare Advantage Plan with 10+ days of 7,500 steps:
      January
    6) Participate in my favorite area races ~ I walk, I do not run
    • 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
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together
    • Always a good idea
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states)
    • Visit parents 1-2 times each month, phone calls in between ~ they're in their late 80s and live 90 miles away
      canceled visit 1.12-1.13 due to blizzard
      canceled visit 1.21-1.22 due Mom's bad cold
      Mom's bday visit 1.31 with all siblings, in-laws & aunt
    • Monthly contact with former colleagues/others, now that I'm retired

    Took a drive yesterday and went to the Wright Brothers memorial in Kitty Hawk, NC. Kind of a spur of the moment trip but the weather was nice and I needed a break. This next week is going to be pretty busy too, with 2 medical appointments, class, and work. But I’ll just take it one day at a time.

    Pfffff... It's only 10:00am and I'm done with today. I've had a nagging headache since Friday and it is wearing me out. It's manageable with ibuprofen, but I wish it would just go the "kitten" away! I did have a few drinks Friday, but I was the DD Saturday and Sunday so even though I feel hungover, I'm not. I slept in yesterday, but didn't sleep well. Last night was another night of poor quality sleep though I went to bed right after the super bowl. Enough whining.

    Played in a pool tournament Friday night. Didn't do badly. I'm way out of my league there, but I have fun and I'm getting better. Saturday I taught spin class then went out to breakfast with the hubby. Went to the movies Saturday evening and watched the rerelease of Dune. Was planning to watch Argyle, but got there too late. Sunday I slept in and did laundry, then eventually showered and got ready to go watch the Super bowl and a local wing joint. I expected a crowd, but it was dead. It was actually rather boring, and hubby drank way to much.

    Today is work and then I plan on going back to bed. I honestly don't even care if I have dinner. I'm so tired of eating out. Kitchen is coming along nicely though, so it's ok.

    Omg so late with posting! Can't believe it's already Monday. Not had the kids for 3 days but they're back now!

    Sunday Review
    Mon ✅⭐ 15,500 Steps
    Tues ✅ 12,500 Steps
    Weds 🆗 (Too much food) 22,400 Steps
    Thurs ❌ (Too much food) 19,500 Steps
    Friday ❌ (Too much food) 7,000 Steps
    Sat ❌ 655 Steps (Didn't have my phone)
    Sunday ✅ No steps but have been painting all day

    So Monday was my best day! Rest of the week didn't go great. A lot of bad choices, but plenty of steps on those days?

    This week I NEED to keep my diet on point, the kids are off school for a week so them steps are going to be seriously reduced as majority of them come from the school run!

    Either that or I need to get off my butt and exercise but again, the kids are off school, is that just an excuse though? I could just tell them to stay upstairs for 30 mins whilst I flap around the lounge doing some dance-cardio 😂

    Also my water intake is slipping back to 1-2 cups a day again. So really need to keep my tip of drinking before snacking in my mind!

    Hour commitment - a little change to my plans; I decided to make the cookies my husband loves for Valentines. I can taste while cooking. (I always allow that, but I don't want to feel guilty either.)

    Today was surprisingly productive at work. I say surprising because I’m still fighting with IBS symptoms and I only got 5 hours of sleep last night.

    This class that I’m taking was kind of a struggle tonight. The whole reason I signed up was so I could pursue a career in grant writing but now im not sure that’s the right path for me. Anxiety is riding pretty high today, because I’m so tired of feeling lost and having no idea what my purpose in life is supposed to be.

    JFT Monday 12th Feb

    THINK before I eat ❌ not really
    No snacking ❌ one. or two, I lost track
    No eating after 6.30 pm ✅
    PF exercises ✅
    Back exercises ❌
    Walk ❌

    Already started my childcare duties today, so a quick post. Have a great week everyone.

    @Bex953172 is right, school holidays do play havoc with our good intentions! I don't think I was over maintenance calories, but my choices were not the best. Had 2 kids instead of the normal 1 for some of the day. Same again today.
    Bex, what's the weather like where you are? Could you get the kids out for a walk or bike ride? My two were taken out on a dog walk (but after they were at mine, so I didn't do the walk, so no exercise for me!)

    I'll post for today, but not sure how it will go.

    JFT Tuesday 13th Feb

    Weather's not so bad! Marley (middle child) hates walking though😂. She likes the walk where we go, she likes the fresh air and getting out but she hates how the walking makes her tired.
    We were supposed to go today, I think Ash is going with Saskia still but I need to stay home with Casey because she's poorly and Marley jumped at the chance to stay home with me 😂
