Happy Thursday! Hopping on quick to post some goals. Hope you are all well. Husband is recovering from eye surgery. He had complications from cataract surgery and I'm hoping this fixes his sight! It's a beautiful day here today. Can't take the boat out or anything until Tim recovers from surgery but I might take a ride out…

Really tired today. Was up all but 3 hours last night. I'll have to be careful not to grab food all day long, because that's what I tend to do when tired or emotional. Have a great day JFTers! :) Just for Tuesday:* Create 24H Plan * Assess yesterday's 24H Plan * Drink 64+ oz water * Do one thing on my "What Brings me Joy"…

Late to post but want to be accountable. Just for Monday:* Create 24H Plan * Assess yesterday's 24H Plan * Drink 64+ oz water * Do one thing on my "What Brings me Joy" list * Readings/Reflections/Journaling * Podcasts - NoBS, The Exam Room, JM, Half Size Me, OLD & OHD * Eat only when hungry.

How cool is that???!! You must feel so proud! I had to laugh at your Cheez-Its comment because they have been taunting me and winning for about a month now! They magically jump into my grocery cart and sometimes at night they jump into baggies and wind up in my hand while I'm reading at bedtime. Sneaky little suckers....…

Happy Monday, JFT Friends! Happy for a new week, new day, new start. :flowerforyou: Just for Monday, 5/16* Create 24H Plan and assess yesterday's :) Done * Drink 64 oz of water by 6 PM. * Walk at least around the block today. * Dinner tonight - Shrimp kabobs and corn on the cob * Podcasts / Readings / Journaling * No…

@Anniesquats100 I have problems with my knees also...one of them has bone-on-bone arthritis. So, I have a difficult time walking any distance and if I do manage to take a nice long walk, I'm usually down for the next day or two. So frustrating! You are doing really good! Keep 'er going! :) @Bex953172 I forgot to mention…

I'm sharing a picture of my husband holding up the lap quilt I finally finished. It has 101 mistakes in it but I'm pretty excited because I did the quilting of it on my home machine this time and that's the first time I've done that. It was a learning experience for sure.

@cschmitz110515 You have such a great variety of birds in your hard. The indigo buntings are my favorite and I've not seen any since we moved to town 8 years ago. These are the little things I miss about living in the country! @Bex953172 You made that teddy bear blanket? That is adorable!!! You could sell those on Etsy! So…

Not my best day, but could've certainly been worse! I didn't stick to my planned foods, but I did pay attention to whether I was hungry vs bored or emotional before I ate. I ate only when hungry and I stopped at enough, without overeating. So that was a big win for me! Today, I have been sitting on my butt since I woke up.…

@mytime6630 Curious about your quilting. Do you hand stitch the binding onto your quilts or machine sew? I'm really not a fan of binding...gives me problems no matter how I try to do it! :smiley: @Bex953172 I think writing what you did vs goals is a great idea. I like that our @TerriRichardson112 has been doing that too. I…

Oh my gosh! She looks so pretty! Thanks for sharing. These are beautiful photos!

Good morning! Our windows are open and I can hear the birds chirping like crazy today. It is music to my ears after a long winter of being mostly indoors. The lady across the street has a beautiful yard with magnolia trees blooming (pink and white), daffodils, tulips, crabapple trees...so green and lush. It's definitely…

Good morning JFTers! I wanted to pop on here before I go grocery shopping as a reminder to myself that Cheetos are not in their own food group. Just For Thursday: 1. Food Plan: Veggie Soup for lunch. Shrimp on the grill, salad and baked sweet potato for dinner. 2. Assess yesterday's plan. :) Done and I did good! 3. 64 oz…

Terri, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you were able to meet up with others at the service to share your happy stories. (((HUGS))) 💖🙏

@mytime6630 I'm so sorry for your loss and that your daughter is struggling. I will continue to pray for you and your family, and I am really glad to see you are on here taking care of your own health. Like @pridesabtch said, "Try to take care of you for us." I couldn't have said it better. Love and hugs, my friend. 💖💖 🙏

Just for Tuesday: 1. 24H meal & goal plan to help set me up for success. :smile: 2. Assess yesterday's 24H plan to review what I can do differently or what I should continue doing. :) 3. 64 oz of water (with juice of one lime) before 6PM. I've really been slacking on water. Today, this is priority! Water helps your body…

I was thinking this morning about how important logging into JFT was in my daily routine for years! I think I started posting in this thread in 2015 or 2016...Whenever Joan first started it. It was so important to me and it was huge in setting the tone for my day. Then 2020 hit...pandemic, furlough and then eventual…

Happy Sunday! It's 70 degrees for the 2nd day in a row here in Green Bay, WI and it sure does help pick up my mood! Windows open, very windy but the wind chimes sound like a distant church bell ringing and I love it. I need to go back and read posts but it looks like there's been an April challenge which has been going…

Hi everyone! Denise and Maddie, I love this month's focus! I am going to read the linked articles and think a bit before I decide what I can change in my environment. I think it's a great idea! I've got a stress test tomorrow morning so I'll hop back on afterward and set some April goals! Thanks for all your work putting…

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Woke up to a dusting of snow again today. :frowning: It's APRIL so I know it's not going to be long before we see some green budding on the trees and some flowers peaking through. :flowerforyou: I think we have a couple bird nests in our yard this year, so that's cool. I…

I had a really off-plan, off-goal day today. I think it's safe to say I didn't do anything I planned to do. UGH. I'd like to blame the gray skies and dreary weather, but all fluffy bull-*kitten* excuses aside, I just didn't hold myself responsible today. I didn't drink my water. I ate cookies when I wanted. I sat on my…

Oh my gosh, yes. This is a real thing. My son shares placement with his ex and has to spend a whole day "reminding" them of the rules at his house. @pridesabtch I'm glad you have a date night planned. Your work situation sounds SO stressful. You need and deserve some time away from it all.

Good morning! I just logged on to post my goals and I see both of my posts appeared from last night. Sorry for the duplicates! LOL. I swear neither one was showing up last night! :mrgreen: Have a great day everyone!

Hello JFT friends!! I wrote out a post with goals for tomorrow, and I had replied to many posts on here but it disappeared when I clicked Post Reply. That sure is frustrating... THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES! It was a really nice day and I enjoyed it a lot! :) I'll hop back on tomorrow for goals. In the meantime, I…

Hopping on tonight to post my goals for tomorrow. I've just read the past few days to catch up, and I have so many I'd like to reply to but didn't take notes unfortunately. Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a really nice day! I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed my birthday in a long time. :) WELCOME NEW JFTer's!!!!…

Happy Sunday! We turned our clocks forward today so it's already after 10:00 a.m. I've never been a fan of this daylight savings change. I know it's supposed to be wonderful because of more daylight hours, but I've never enjoyed losing an hour of sleep. Pretty sure I'll be dragging my *kitten* all day today! :mrgreen: I…

@BeIn2day Happy birthday tomorrow! I'm glad you had a nice time at dinner last night and took time to pamper yourself. We don't take time to have enough of those days, do we? :flowerforyou: @Bex953172 I'm so sorry to hear you feel so awful today! I hope the girls and Ash will baby you today the way you do them every day,…

I was just told recently by my Health & Wellness Coach that a good diet 80% of the time is a fantastic diet! You're doing awesome!

Hi everyone! Checking in. Yesterday I didn't feel like taking a walk, so I didn't go. Today, my dog came up wanting to go at about 3:00 and I was going to skip again because it snowed today and "I didn't feel like it". Well, my dog, Maddie, has gone for a walk 8 days in a row at 3:15 pm so in her mind that means we should…
