BEX What no drive-thrus? I am a bit surprised. Do you have the Boots Alliance stores there? I think that the UK name of us.
Joan Oh, yes. One day a guy behind the car I was helping did get out and yell and curse at the person. I am not young but in reality I am not a slow cashier unless something is wrong with the Rx. And it just takes time to input insurance cards and try them out and quite often they have to be revised and changed around a bit to work so it can take 10 minutes on that. But there is a beautiful view out the window and you can see the tide or water rise or fall and lovely sky when it storms! My boss will say, "Are you over there just standing?" I always say YES!
Juno Alas, my beloved died the week before Christmas. It is still hard for me to just breathe at times. I am so trying to keep things together and I have had training in death and grief which is a help. There are days I just go to bed and think I can not make it. But there are also days I look at his child and am determined to raise him to be proud of his dad and know we loved him so. Losing weight and getting my kidneys and whatever in control is essential. One-so I don't have to buy any clothes and Two--so I can hopefully live to see the boy grown and making a living.
Today-
1. Do laundry, dishes, trash and sweep the floor which I did not do yesterday.
2. Keep within the calorie allotment and exercise. Going swimming after son's camp today.
3. Already took books to library and cleared field of branches and trash. Guess I will ride around on mower next.
4. Do time on Family Search-tomorrow going to Heritage Center to help with a girl's group.
5. Go to Home Depot and get husband's weed eater fixed.
These little lists are helpful to me. Reminders to keep moving.
After a quick Google we do have drive-thru pharmacy! One opened (a Boots) in 2008 as a pilot to see how it would work before they rolled it out in other places.
But can't see if they have done more!
They used an old McDonald's premises lol

Clean eating by hiding candy, chocolates and chips.. drink a glass of water if cravings start. Chew my gum if cravings persist. Eat only pre prepped food. Complete a full workout session. Keep going and push through the whole dvd. Do a quick round of core exercises and practice a few pole conditionings. Just for today. . .3

£1.85 per can!!
Outrageous but last time I drank this I was 12!
Ha! I just asked my husband the other night if we could go to A&W for a big frosty mug of root beer! Had such a craving! From what I understand, most people who are not from US think root beer is NASTY tasting. What did you think?0 -

@cschmitz110515 Thank you for thinking of me. I've missed you guys!
@josephinebowman Welcome to our group! I'm sorry to hear of your loss. (((Gentle Hugs))) One day at a time, one hour at a time and one minute at a time can be applied to so many things...sometimes it's all we can do.
Hey guys, I'm back! I've had a pretty rough few weeks. Things falling apart all around me while i watch and feel helpless. But today I start a week of vacation, and I'm hoping to use this time to de-stress from work, heal my spirit and just plain unwind and find some peace. I've been not able to hop on here much and quite frankly have been so torn up that I have not cared at all if I take care of myself or not. I'm actually supposed to be on vacation on a houseboat with my sister and my brother and their families, and my dad, island hopping all week in the Canadian boundary waters. It has been planned since January, and I had to cancel at the last minute, so today I'm feeling pretty sad and bitter about it.
Time to turn things around and look for the positives. So, today not only begins my vacation, it also marks a new beginning. I plan to only do things that bring me peace. I plan to quilt, read, sit outside and watch the birds in the backyard, maybe take a ride in the country and take some photographs, take some walks and strengthen my knee, go fishing, maybe even take a ride along the lakeshore exploring the different piers and lighthouses. Whatever my heart leads me...that is what I will do that day. It is time to go deep inside and heal.
Sorry if that got a little philosophical but life has been quite the opposite of a bowl of cherries lately and I needed to get that out.
I have missed all of you so much. You not only motivate me to work on my physical health, but you help me mentally. Thank you for that!
Just for Monday, 8/7/2017:
1. Journal every single bite
2. Water, at least 64 oz
3. Watch a few quilting videos and pick one to begin making this week
4. Take a walk, perhaps along the river walk downtown. I've never been to the river walk and I hear it is lovely.
5. Write 5 things I am grateful for today in my Gratitude Journal before I go to bed tonight
6. Try meditating with either Headspace or Calm
7. Try not to think about work or family drama
8. Be happy for this day, every single beautiful moment of it

Yeah a lot of people hate it!
Lots and lots (probably why it's so hard to come by over here!)
But I've always liked it!
Loved it in fact. But I've always liked what people think as awful!1 -

Ha --- I decided to start over since I overate so much over the weekend. But .... at least I didn't do binge eating -- just too much good stuff! Not off to a very good start today --- once I get sweet stuff in me, now I have to fight off those cravings. A arbys cookie just happened to jump in my bag, and I scarfed it down on the way home. THen.... looked up the calories. 430 calories for just ONE COOKIE!!!!
So I better be good the rest of the day. At least I worked out this morning 2 -

Oh my!! Now I don't feel quite so bad. And yes, even at 430 calories - this cookie was not all that big!!! I was going to get a cookie at McDonalds - theirs are 160 calories! Gee, I could have eaten 2 instead!! But ... next time .... fight off the urge to get a cookie!2 -

I'm typing this post on my brandy new laptop! Well...it's not techinically brand new. It's an awesome PC that my Dad's computer whiz friend rebuilt and sold to me for $50! I havent even paid him yet but Daddy was at his house today and brought it home for me! I'm sooo excited! I love it so much!
It was a pretty good day even though I put a wrong hold on a check at work on Saturday and the couple came in to complain today so I got "coached". Pretty much means I got sat down and asked "Do you know why this is wrong? And what can we do to make sure that you dont do it again?" It wasnt a terrible meeting, in fact it wasnt bad at all. But when anyone gets singled out and told that they did something wrong, it never feels good. But other then that work was great! A 8.5 hour today but I got an hour lunch. I had to run an errand so that was nice that I had that time. I never got enough hours at the Point Pleasant Beach branch to qualify for a half an hour break, let alone a whole hour. So that was a nice surprise! Lol. The only issue with today was that there were four tellers and three desk and definitely not enough customers to go around. Lol. But if that's the biggest issue I have all day then it's a good day. Went waaaay over calories today though. One of my favorite "healthy" dinners that I make isn't that high in calories if you only have one serving but it's just so good that I can never stop at just one. I try not to make it that often for that exactly reason. Lol.
What I accomplished today 8/7
1. Logged all food
2. Did not stay under calories
3. Kept drawer balanced
4. Asked for help when I needed it
5. Picked up meds after work before I went home
6. Made a yummy dinner
7. Hanging out with the DH now
8. Bed by 10pm.
As for tomorrow, 8/8, I will:
1. Wake up by 8:30 at the latest
2. Shower/coffee/quiet time
3. Log all food
4. Keep in green
5. Keep drawer balanced
6. Ask for help if I need it
7. Put food in crock pot before work
8. Have a good evening with the DH
9. Bed whenever(I'm off on Wednesday)
It's 8:45pm and I still have a bunch of stuff to do on this laptop! WOOHOO! Lol! I have a new laptop! Sorry for my over enthusiasm.3 -

I'd love a new laptop
In fact I'd love a laptop in the first place!
But with the kids I think it's safer just to have my iphone lol!
Can't keep a laptop in my pocket lol!3 -
Good early morning! I did do my list yesterday! Okay, maybe I did not get laundry folded and put away but it is washed and dried... And as it started to rain, I ran the mower over the grass by the street that the riding mower won't get. And I got weed eater fixed even though I had to chase men through Home Depot. Ha, I am smoking it here!
Wow, cookies are evil. I am wondering about this. When I make food at home and that's recently for the purposes of weight loss, I think I use about the same ingredients as restaurant foods but my calorie counts from ingredients are not at all what the restaurant ones are. Still, my lovely pumpkin high-fiber muffins were up there in calories (and they are a bit like rocks).
Today's plan--
1. Stick the goal on calories and exercise. Should be able to get to pool either early or late.
2. Get boy to camp, do Heritage Center help, pick boy up on time and get him to Martial Arts in white gee pants. Pants are probably in car and find his belt. Might need to wash the pants.
3. Vacuum floor. Threaten dogs about their hair falling out. Sweep off steps to back door so cut grass gets in less.
4. Put trash cans out with recycle by end of day. Remove 1 bag of trash from car and get rid of newspapers in bedroom.
5. Drink more water. Pray. Fold laundry and look under bed for any missing boy clothes.4 -
First day back at work today after a month of sick leave!
Very mixed feelings about going back. Primary feeling is not wanting to go back. Everything was so stressful just before I went on leave. And in my month off, the extent to which I care about my job has gone right down. I just can't be bothered!
But... In another sense it's good to go back. It was starting to get a bit boring just watching House of Cards all day.... and I was starting to get a bit down having no interactions with people (other than my boyfriend).
I just have to be good this time and make sure work doesn't take over my life again. My job is important, but so is the rest of my life! I need to be strict with myself and impose boundaries.
So... Today's commitments :
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks other than banana
- Be in the green
- 30 minute walk at lunch
- Leave work by 4.20 latest
- Stay positive!

@Bex953172 My old laptop I got in 2009. The screen was almost completely detached from the keyboard. Lol. I've had my Dad's friend fix it a bunch of times for me but it just seemed like it was done for. Lol.
@Saragirl2 I hope you feel better! Being sick is the worst and I can't even imagine dealing with it while taking care of kids! I haven't gotten to the kids part yet. Lol!2 -
@slittlemeister Have a great first day back!
@MLHC1 I'm so excited for you to be done with physics and I'm not even taking it! Lol. Good luck on your final! I bet you ace it!5 -
@Saragirl2 Hope you feel better soon!
@MLHC1 Good luck on the exam! Happy for you being almost done.
@slittlemeister Have a good day back. Hope you have healed. We've missed you!
@josephinebowman Shedding dogs are the worst!
Recap M 8/7
1) Walked dog 1.91 miles before work (sorry for short route, dog)
2) Keep net calories in green = Red 33 I'll take it!
3) Keep my cool at work...don't let issue gnaw at me b/c I did what I could = Yes/No...I have problems with letting things go, and issue hasn't actually been resolved...I have to wait for management's answer.
4) Evening, brew tea, boil eggs, wash dishes, recyclables in bin, sort laundry for T a.m. = All done by 8:30!
5) Unwind 9:30 / bedtime & TV off 10:15 = In bed by 10 w/ TV on & fell asleep. I count that!
JFT T 8/8 - Gorgeous day, the sun is out and no chance of rain (for a change)
1) Before work, walked dog 3.09 miles and washed / hung 2 loads of laundry on clothesline
2) After work, fold laundry before spa appt.
3) Evening, enjoy my massage and relax!
4) Keep net calories green
5) Bedtime 10:15 & TV off (no need for unwind time
) 3 -
@MLHC1 How do you make it through the day with such little sleep??
@Saragirl2 Hope you are feeling better!
I'm again sitting here drinking a Diet Coke and a hot tea at the same time to try to clear the sleep-fog from my head, after sleeping nearly 9 hours and not getting up all that early. I've been taking some Benadryl at night, so maybe that's it.
Is anyone else's' kids' nighttime schedules completely off in the summer? Mine (they're 5 and 7) go to bed at 7 during the school year, and we're lucky if they fall asleep by 10 pm recently, which is wreaking havoc with my sleeping patterns. It doesn't help that they are currently sleeping in the same room (the coolest one) due to a heat wave.
JFT
1. Track everything and stay in the green
2. Exercise, including some cardio
3. Stay positive
4. Fall asleep earlier.
5. Give a nice deep cleaning to something after work/exercise: is kitchen, bedroom, bath

Two cups of French Roast Coffee and either one green coffee refresher OR Hot Green Tea........needless to say "CAFFIENE"
This is why I detox after every semester of school. Thank you to everyone wishing me luck on my exam.....I dropped the ball on Exam II so now I have to do good on the final exam. 2
