No worries, I have not forgotten you
The eclipse last for a couple of hours so I'll take several and then post the pictures later today (so that would be about 8 hours from right now). It's 0732 right now and the eclipse is from 1130 to 1430 so I'll have them up around 1530. Also if you look online, NASA and Yellowstone National Park will be showing a live video of the full eclipse. (In case your kiddos wanna see it

Recap Sunday 8/20 Challenge today is after choir sings in installation service this afternoon for new associate pastor, meal to follow and I have no idea what = The service and meal were amazing! Feeling so blessed. However, the scale is not my friend after the past two days. Need to get back on track.
1) church 9:00 = done
2) walk dog = 80F and very humid (yuck!), even dog was dragging a bit, walked 3.58 miles and saw 5 turkeys
3) depoop yard so hubby can mow = done
4) 2 loads laundry = 3 loads done, mostly line dried & finished in dryer
5) bedtime 10:30 = done
JFT M 8/21 Today is hubby's and my lucky 13th wedding anniversary. Since we work different hours, I'll see him at my lunchtime, and we'll "celebrate" by taking our black cat to the vet. Assuming she cooperates, this is our 2nd try. During the solar eclipse. Oh yeah, we're not jinxed. Actually, we're not superstitious at all. And the eclipse is 79% where we live, but seems it will be cloudy most of the day with chance of showers again. Guess I'll see the eclipse online / TV.
1) Use "move" reminder...steps shouldn't be a problem with current work project
2) Net calories green, at least w/i 100
3) Use Calm app, pause and pray
4) Unwind 9:30 & bedtime w/ TV off 10:15 / dog walk T a.m.2 -
Weekly weigh-in (Sunday): 195lbs (down 1lb this week)
JFT:
1. Weigh and log everything
2. Prep meals for tomorrow - I'm having a myelogram and there is a 24 hour rest period afterwards with no bending or activity due to risk of a spinal headache. I'm very nervous. I have someone to drive me home but husband is out of town and no-one to stay with me.
3. Meditate and try to calm my nerves before the procedure tomorrow.
4. Lie on my front lawn at 2:36pm -- 97% eclipse here in Atlanta!
Have a great Monday!3 -
JFT:
1. Eat less than I burn.
2. Spend quality time with my cat.
3. Motivate those around me.
4. Prep work out clothes for the week!4 -
JFT Sunday: Disassociate from the part of my brain that is pushing me to binge. I let it take over last night. NOPE. Not happy with myself this morning.
JFT Monday: Disassociate, disassociate, disassociate. Until I get this right, this is my only goal.3 -

The first day is always the hardest!!
You can do it!!4 -
Thank-you @Bex953172. I have been struggling with this for so long it feels like it is a part of my genetic code.2

I just could not wrap my head around the topic all day.
2) Take pre-cut melon pieces to work. Do not forget in the morning!
I did that. Yummy snack!
3) Take treat to work? Did not do that, and it's okay.
4) Go to the talk at 2 pm. And work after it from home.Better: Went there and back to work.
5) Take it as it will be. I guess I did that
6) Have a lunch break, even though the schedule is tight.
Nope. Not really, unless you count the commute to the talk.
I am now running on 11 hours at work, no real lunch break (eating in front of the screen). I wrote some stuff for my thesis... I did not hear anything from the fellowship people. I mean, interviews are in about a month. They need to give people time to take at least two days off work and book plane tickets and stuff. I was expecting it so much today. I even checked my junk mail and then, although I was scared, logged into the system to see the status of my application is still "submitted". Not even processed? Drowned myself in work instead, which is probably better than drowning myself in sweets.
Just for tomorrow:
1) Go to the dermatologist and get a reasonably close appointment for the procedure.
2) Do not stress out about the fellowship.
3) Lunch downtown with friends
4) Work on book chapter finally. Or I am doomed.
5) Fetch lunch for the rest of the week from freezer in the evening
6) Go to gym

Will post more later -- but --- going to watch the eclipse!! We live very close to 100%, but we are just going to watch from our patio - which is about 99.8%. So cool! You can just see a small "bite" out of the sun now! Have my glasses 4

I understand all to well what you are going through! I did well for about 5 days last week, only to have 2 really bad days. Binging is so hard to overcome -- but you are not alone! We can do this together -- keep posting on here! To me, it does help. Having said that, don't beat yourself up this morning. Today is a new day!3 -

YES ---- We are going to try!! Pretty awesome! We have the TV on also. We were going to drive 10 miles to see total, but traffic supposedly is a nightmare - everyone in town. So watching from our patio!3 -

I can imagine lol! You've not had a total eclipse for 99 years!!0 -
The bloody eclipse was so hard to live stream due to it being at totality at different places!!
I just caught it literally by 30 seconds in Beatrice, NE? Don't know where that is

That is in nebraska! It was so awesome ---- I live near st louis, mo, so we only had 99.9% totality, unless we drove 10 miles out. But ... with the traffic.... we had our own little "party" in our backyard. The weirdest thing was the darkness, and the crickets came out. No birds at all around singing -- really weird. The street light went on. It only lasted here less than a minute though. My hubby tried to take pictures, but they are just blurry. But I found one to post -- if I can figure out how to post it. Its from a friend. If my husband has any pictures that turned out, I'll post them. We also saw all these little "crescent" moons on our patio bricks!
But .... it was quite a thing to experience, and so glad in my lifetime I was able to witness it. My husband looked directly at the sun right at totality, and he said it was something he will never forget!

I would love for this to be a topic on here to discuss. I also have struggled with binge eating - if my husband saw everything I eat, I would probably be so slim. But .... I am a closet eater.... and most of my eating starts when I am stressed out about things. It is very hard to overcome. My goal is to have at least 5 days a week doing good, and hope for more. But hopefully we can encourage each other. I think it helps to talk about it, and be in the open.3 -

Proper amazing!

I looked at the total eclipse through my glasses, and all I saw was total darkness. But hubby looked at it without the glasses, and he said this is what it looked like. I think you have to have special lenses for your camera to get these kinds of pictures. But .... it was the most awesome experience. Totally weird - especially the darkness,and quietness of the day. About 45 minutes later, the birds started chirping again!2 -
Yeahhh. My second pregnancy. I had my 20 week scan and he had a minor abnormality which created massive problems and basically I was told he had a less than 5% chance of survival. I had the choice of going to full term on the knowledge that he would be born not being able to breathe or terminate. I chose to terminate, just thought it would be less painful for him. By the time I had everything confirmed I was 23 weeks
And he was born today 2 years ago.
This is why I've been so desperate for a boy because I lost one.
His birthday is always a difficult day. My 3yo overheard me saying "it's Samsons birthday today" to my partner and she's been asking who's birthday it is all day
but she's too young to understand yet. In the end I just said it was grandmas birthday lol 3
