I figure I should probably do this... (and not because I hurt myself last week, been meaning to do this for a while, but haven't had so much time on my hands before to follow up on it!).
I have a "free" one. Hubby and I flew somewhere together and I didn't want anyone wondered who my son should live with if the plane went down. I need to do a better one.
What I know from some of the stuff I've learned at work - You can do your own will, if you aren't trying to do anything too fancy (leave money to charities, etc). Around my neck of the woods, it would cost about $1,500 to have a lawyer do one up right.
I am keeping it clean. My nieces and nephew's get a set amount, and everything else goes to my sister and she has to take are of my animals. I'll leave all my tri stuff to my BFF and my riding instructor will get all my riding stuff. My sister has to work with my riding instructor on the future of my horses. Phoebe can't be sold. She must be retired when she is ready and put in a facility with a stall and full care. Ditto on Jaques but as a 5 year old I would let him be leased, etc. My sister has to take my cats and ensure they have a wonderful natural life. And I know my younger sister will do that. I don't trust anyone else in my family.
So I can do on my own.
What program did you use for your free one?0 -

I got home on Tuesday from work around 12:30am, so really it was Wednesday morning. I decided that I was hungry. I had some fresh strawberries from Whole Foods, and I decided that strawberries and toast sounded really good, and then I decided that I might as well make 2 scrambled eggs with it as well, lol. So there I was at about 1:15am eating a hearty breakfast. The only reason why I didn't add bacon is because it was frozen in the freezer. I hit my macros and was in my calorie goal, but my net was super low b/c I had over 23k steps for the day, so there's no need for guilt, it's just strange b/c I told myself it would be ridiculous to bake a few cookies, but then I made a whole breakfast sandwich, lol.
I'm planning on doing the same tonight b/c it will be the same scenario work wise, except maybe I'll be at 15k steps, but I planned ahead and purchased some bacon from Whole Foods, so this time I'll get some bacon as well.
Plus, supposedly, I've hit the high end of my goal weight range (125-128lbs) on Thursday morning, but for some reason my brain cannot accept it, even though I weighed in about .3lbs less this morning, so I'm sure it's true, but I kept weighing myself over and over again yesterday morning and this morning looking for the catch. Like I legit weighed myself 10 times this morning and kept moving my scale to different spots in the bathroom to see what the number read out. It was fluctuating between 127.7-128.3, I took the average of the weights and it was 127.94, so I guess I should accept it. I ended up going with the 127.7 b/c that was the last number the scale gave me about 5 or 6 times.
This is my favorite part of your post!
LOL! Right! It's like "hm... better not preheat that oven for those cookies b/c it's too late for that. How about you break out the skillet and toaster instead? Yep, sounds like a great plan!" LOL! Who does that? Me. I do that, lol.
I, also, would do something like that! LOL
Me too, Quik! Mostly because I wouldn't have the patience to wait for the over to preheat.

LOL!!! Thank you! I feel much better now! Especially b/c that was my reasoning. I didn't want to wait for the oven to preheat and then to wait for the cookies to bake, lol.1 -
This morning I looked in the mirror and was so freaked out by looking smaller that I had to call up my dad and have him verify it.4

Also, my coworkers think I'm being super-nice by helping them out at their registers, but the truth is that I just want a few extra steps so I can eat chocolate that night...4

It was about nine years ago. I don't even remember now. It was just something I Googled.0 -

Congratulations oh hitting your goal range! Enjoy it and stop trying to convince yourself that you are not.

Does your company provide services like this. This year we had the option to pay a little pre tax and have some services like wills paid for with a layer of our choosing. I think it is a great service.0 -
