Who's getting to goal in 2020? - I have 57 lbs to lose and I think 52 lbs (1 lb/week) is a reasonable goal. So I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it all the way there, but I'm going to give it my best shot!
+ = I'm giving myself a bravo sticker for tracking on the 27th. I needed to get back on track. I also made sure that my breakfasts were on plan during the holidays.
This Week's Topic: Setting Goals That Will Get You There - What is something that is in the way of your goals that is out of your control? What is something you can control? I can't control my husband's crazy work schedule. Sometimes I blame getting fast food on him working late. I can meal plan for easy weeknight meals that I can make while watching the kids. I can also make freezer meals on the weekend or meal prep in general so that weeknights are easier to manage.
- What is a goal you constantly set that is too vague? How can you make it more specific? I say things like I need to track more. I will set an alarm on my phone for a week at breakfast, lunch, dinner to track my food. Hopefully this will get me back into the habit of tracking.
- What’s one change in your lifestyle that you aren’t willing to make (at least not right now) and how can you fit it into your plan? I am not willing to quit drinking soda. It is 4PP everyday and I can earn that with some exercise. So I will wear my Fitbit and make sure I earn 4 AP's everyday. If I don't earn the Activity Points, then I won't have a soda the next day.
What are you having for breakfast? It's a little boring right now - eggs, fruit salad, cream of wheat. I want to add veggies to my eggs this week and maybe make some muffins or biscuits. I need more warm stuff!

My daughter left Saturday morning early and I was tired enough to nap in the middle of the day. We accomplished a lot but did not eat on program. I was up about four pounds at the end of her visit and with one day on program (yesterday) am down three+ pounds and back to seeing onederland near. I had given myself till January 1 to get back on program but since yesterday went well plan to be OP today and have already done five minutes of exercise...am doing a bit every hour while on the computer. I am refreshed and ready to be back OP again and that includes not only food but exercise and a few other things. (Around 200 when daughter arrived...saw 199 a few days the week before. 204.? when she left. 201 this morning after being back OP one day)
Credit for: Not gaining bucket-loads of weight while daughter was here AND getting back OP quickly after she left.
GOAL in 2020: My goal weight is 140 to 145. I have 55 to 60 pounds to lose. In 1998/9 I lost 1.5 pounds on average per week so believe reaching goal in 2020 is possible but it I do not reach goal and stay OP and focus on health I will be the winner no matter what.
- What is something that is in the way of your goals that is out of your control? What is something you can control? Nothing is really out of my control. If I plan to be OP and my mind is in the game then I am OP. I can control myself
- What is a goal you constantly set that is too vague? How can you make it more specific? Lose weight and Exercise -
* Eat OP, track GHGs, stay within calories/points
* Exercise every 45 minutes for 5 minutes (as of this morning...set the timer on the computer down here in the basement and already have five minutes in on the air walker
- What’s one change in your lifestyle that you aren’t willing to make (at least not right now) and how can you fit it into your plan? Hmm...know that wine is a big calorie/points expenditure. Not willing to give it up entirely but am willing to limit it and count the points for it when imbibing
This Week’s Routine: Always have comfortable shoes with you. I don't have any uncomfortable shoes in my closet
GHG of the Week: Whole Grains - Choose whole-grain foods such as brown rice and oats, whenever possible. Do this most of the time though hubby seems to prefer white to whole grain rice...
Meal of the Week: Breakfast ~ What are you having for breakfast? I usually alternate between pbj on toast and beans or avocado on toast with cooked tomatoes on top

-Who's getting to goal in 2020? I'm not going to set a total goal. Instead I'm going to focus on 5 pounds at at time. I might get to goal in 2020 but my main focus is get the scale going in the right direction & keep it that way.
- What is something that is in the way of your goals that is out of your control? What is something you can control? I'd love to blame something but really I'm the only one in my way. I don't have small children & I do all the cooking so there's really no excuse other than not wanting to be bothered at times.
- What is a goal you constantly set that is too vague? How can you make it more specific? I think my exercise goal is usually too vague. More specific is I plan on using my Peloton every other day for at least 30 minutes. I'll do something other days but that will be more spur of the moment.
- What’s one change in your lifestyle that you aren’t willing to make (at least not right now) and how can you fit it into your plan? I chose mindfulness as my word of the year so I'm not planning on changing anything major. Everything can fit into my lifestyle as long as I've accounted for it in my points. So I will still eat sweets but it might not be every day & I have to track the points.
This Week’s Routine: Always have comfortable shoes with you. Not a problem. I have plantar fasciitis so all my shoes are comfortable or I'm in pain.
GHG of the Week: Whole Grains - Choose whole-grain foods such as brown rice and oats, whenever possible.
I switched to whole grains years ago except for sourdough bread. It took a while for my hubby & son to come around but they eventually got used to them.
What are you having for breakfast? I've been hungry in the mornings this week so I've been having a breakfast sandwich with fruit & milk.
