Took Sunday "off" and spent time at my parents' place helping them with a bunch of things. Actually got in quite a bit of walking. They eat very healthily, but too high in carbs for me!
I am feeling extraordinarily unmotivated today. In addition to this, I am making a detailed list of other small things that need to be accomplished...maybe this will light a fire.
Monday:
1. Plan and pre-track exercise for the week
2. 60 minutes Zumba + warmup
3. Do some gardening
4. One self-care activity
5. under 100G carbs
6. under 1200 calories

8. meal prep and salsa canning

JFT, 9/4/17
1. Log all food
2. Stay in green
3. Quiet time(read/meditate/pray)
4. Yoga
5. Check out HP challenges
6. Get as many ^ done as possibleGot two parts done. Gonna finish the rest tomorrow
7. Prep dinner
8. Look into Slow Cooker Brownie recipeWas yummy but screwed up the settings so the edges got kind of burned
9. Enjoy yummy dinnerCould have been better. I cooked the rice too long and forgot to add the salt. It turned out okay though
10. Spend time with DHHe watched sports while I read my book and at one point he fell asleep on my shoulder. It was adorable!
11. Bed wheneverAbout to turn in now
Have a great night everyone!
Had a great day! I love my days off! I have one tomorrow too! The DH came home in a rotten mood because the last half an hour of his work was terrible and then about an hour after he got home the cat clawed him because he was scared and that just set the DH off even more. So I went about settling the restive stallion that is my husband when he's angry. But he didn't break anything! He hasn't broken anything since the time he broke his phone and I didn't talk to him for three days. But the day got better and the evening as turned out very well! I got a bunch of chapters read in my book and am about to turn in in a good state of mind. Tomorrow may be different though. My mom and I are going to the psychiatrist and telling him that I want to stop taking my meds for personal reasons, including the desire to start trying to have kids. But I know that he won't be happy about it, and honestly, I'm a little nervous, but I have a great therapist who has the same set of beliefs that I do as well as the much more training. Lol. I trust her completely. She, my mom and DH will all be watching me closely to see if things start to go sideways for me and if they do, we will come up with a plan to get me back into maintenance mode.
So for tomorrow, JFT, 9/5/17
1. Log all food
2. Keep in green
3. Quiet time
4. Yoga
5. HP challenges
6. Bike ride
7. Dr appt
8. Spend some time cleaning
9. Clothes shopping
10. Bed by 10:30
Have a great night everyone!1 -
I have to say something about the peanut butter thing... can someone please explain it to me? I hate very little foods, but peanut or almond butter I just can't stand. It tastes heavy and overly 'nutty' and a little... stale (?) to me. I have tried it over and over, because I thought if people love it so much, it must at least be edible normal food. But I can't. I am nearly tempted to get me another jar for another try (but there is only one brand here, so maybe that is bad?) but I don't want to throw food out. And I probably would.skymningen wrote: »1) Write sth for thesis
2) Do not stress out on the first day
I stressed a little in the morning. Then I took one of this new lavender pills I got and got better. Lavender working? Placebo? Whatever. As long as it works.
3) There IS a TO-DO list on the whiteboard. Stick to that. Do not come up with a new list, that is NOT how it works.
4) Drink enough water
Today? I am not sure. I would normally go to the gym, but I think I am putting that off for tomorrow. TOM came and painfully.
1) Write sth for thesis
2) Drink enough water
3) Call parents in the evening
4) Be a loving girlfriend, even though my uterus hurts.1 -

Are you in the US?
The only commercial brand that I like is Adams. Even better is to go to a place that has a grinder and grind your own nut butters fresh, with no additives at all. You can do this at health food stores, Fred Meyer (Kroger), WinCo, etc.
A friend of mine was complaining about peanut butter in the US about six months ago...I could not figure out what she meant because I have lived in her home country (Ecuador) and nut butters there are like the healthy ones here. Then I accidentally got some Skippy and it dawned on me...that stuff is DISGUSTING.

No, I am in Germany. We do have the healthy nut butters in health stores. That might be part of the trauma, because my mum had a phase where she bought mixed healthy nut butter and tried to 'sell' it to little me as something like Nutella. I refused to eat it again after the first try. So for me, the unsweetened ones are actually worse. Never tried those again. It tasted like too old nuts, as far as I remember. Dusty and slightly... not rotten, but off?azulvioleta6 wrote: »

I've seen banana and PB over here! In my first job!
Someone asked for a banana and PB sandwich.. I had to go ask my manager
And then when the company got taken over that was the first thing to go lol!
I'm not sure what the UK do wth PB. I normally have it on toast lol! Or just a normal sandwich
I couldn't imagine it on apple.
I think our "best" brand over here is Sunpat.1 -
I looooooove peanut butter. I can't keep it in the flat as I would eat it from the jar without stopping. I do allow myself to take it to festivals though as you can keep it in a tent for four days without refrigeration - such a treat
I've never tried it with apple but I can see how that would be nice - it's the whole salty/sweet. My grandparents always used to eat apple with a bit of cheese - that's yum! (Particularly when you eat more cheese than apple)1 -
Today was terrible diet wise. I was pretty good up until the interview - even ordering healthy food when I went to sit in a cafe for an hour at lunch to prep.
But the interview was weird and stressful. I'd been expecting to have an interesting chat about what the job would involve, what I know about policy (the area I'm trying to get into) and my ideas for the business (which I'd said I had lots of in my application).
But instead it was some weird competency interview where they just fired question after question at me - 'tell me about a time when you....' 'how would you deal with a situation where....' and my personal favourite: 'how do you deal with complexity and uncertainty?' (Like this *kitten* question?!)
It left me feeling like I have no idea what the job is ACTUALLY going to be and the impression that I do have is that it's going to be predominantly stakeholder management (i.e. manipulating obnoxious people into doing what you want) rather than having ideas/ analysing evidence, etc.
So what did I do? I ate. And drank. And went over my calories by 1000. Quite annoyed with myself now, I didn't even enjoy half of that 1000. That's going to take a lot of effort to burn off if I'm going to stick to my plan!
Oh well... back on track today!
So, yesterday's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks except ryvita
- Be in the green
- Stay calm about interview - all I can do is my best
I stayed relatively calm beforehand, though I was fairly nervous
- Focus on normal work this morning but don't get stressed about it - interview is the priority
- Take 12.30-3 to prepare
- Meditate
- Call mum (and sort out tax) Called mum but didn't do the tax, again. Anyone would think I didn't want to do it...
Today's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
- No snacks except ryvita
- No alcohol
- Go to gym and burn 350 cals
- Be in the green with 300 deficit
- 30 + minute lunch break
- Meditate
- Leave work by 5.30
- Call mum (and sort out tax)2 -
Did not observe my calorie goal yesterday. Went to pool for an hour. Did some lessons with son. Best to let it go as a not great day.
Today, get back on track.
Faithfully observe calorie content of food.
Fit exercise in everywhere and go to pool with son-2:30ish, martial arts 4:30, heritage center 6ish. See if can find his shoes we left at pool yesterday.
School for son-he has tests today and we need to do his major classes 2 lessons in each. Read a book to him and return things to library.
Laundry, kitchen counter, and vacuum floor quickly. Saw spots on stairs so they need washing off--16 steps
Food for day-hmm, biscuits and sausage for him/egg for me; mac/cheese for him/salad for me, pizza him/tuna salad and wasa bread for me. A plan! Off to get started on it all.2 -

be those other questions . Put yesterday behind you and start fresh.
@josephinebowman – enjoy your time it goes so fast
I love peanut butter but really also like the all natural with honey called Bee’s Knees or something like that.
I hope you all have a great day. Stay positive and keep on keeping on.

I like Skippy and Jif, but actually will eat any kind of peanut butter. I actually don't care for the healthy kind though. To me, that is too dry. I like it on almost anything! My husband eats it on toast with bacon! Ewwwww....
@slittlemeister They always ask those kinds of questions in the first interview. At least they do where I work. They ask everyone the exact sane questions, go through answers and narrow it down to the people they want to bring back for second interview usually. Hang in there! And you know what? If you don't get it, that just means there is a job you would like much better out there around the corner....

Lavender is an awesome natural stress reliever! I diffuse it next to the couch for about an hour at night before bed, and I have some that I put a drop on each of my wrists and on my chest over my heart and it helps me get so nice and calm I fall asleep much easier. I'm glad it's working for you! I started using it about one week ago, myself!

I also have a pillow spray which includes lavender and a little roll-on stick with lavender oil. I have used them for bedtime for years and love it. I just wasn't too sure about literally eating the stuff. But it seems to work great. I had another this morning, I am not unusually tired (I expected it to somehow trigger "sleepy time") but I am very calm during a really stressful day of work. Now the only downside is, that I would like to be just naturally calmer, without relying on taking this stuff every day. We will see.OConnell5483 wrote: »

Haha, lavender makes me stressed. I got super stressed when preparing for my final exams at university and couldn't sleep well so tried putting lavender oil on my pillow. Unfortunately it didn't work - I was still stressed and unable to sleep - and now every time I smell lavender it takes me back to that awful time...
1 -
@mepeiffer @OConnell5483 Thanks - they aren't going to get any more technical in the second round though. I asked what that would entail and they said that if they do have a second round - and they might not - it would be more informal and to test 'team fit'. Which leaves me thinking - where is the bit where you test what I actually know/ whether or not I can think?!2

Recap M Labor Day (US) 9/4
1) No alarm, awake by 7 a.m. Walked dog 3.43 miles, bumped into Kim walking Bogie so we stopped to chat. Visited too long, because we got rained on for last 1/2 mile. At least it was a gentle, refreshing rain. Dog happy anyway.
2) Wash sheets and fleece / hubby works on his SUV = 2 loads done since hubby needed work shirts & jeans washed. And clouds cleared / sun actually came out (yay!) so I hung wash on clothesline. I love freshly line-dried laundry!
3) Put up new light fixture with hubby = Done, such an improvement over the dated fixture there when we bought the place. Hubby mainly did it, I was tool girl and helper, and we did it without getting into a snit with each other. Can you tell I have past experience?
4) Make grocery list & shop with hubby = Done, always adventure grocery shopping with hubby. He's like a kid when we get to cereal aisle.
5) Bedtime & TV off 10:30, it's a work day tomorrow = Fail, and I could tell this morning when early alarm went off / no dog walk T a.m.
JFT T 9/5 - I must have underestimated calories past two days (understandable with my estimates away from home) because daily weigh in going in the wrong direction! Ack! Back on plan today.
1) Net calories w/i 100 green
2) Keep pushing on project testing / target date 9/13 to email requests for missing docs
3) Lunch at desk today / continue prep for 9/7 seminar: print 20 name tags, alphabetize all 50, test survey & CPE emails, schedule email blasts
4) Use Calm app, pause & pray
5) Unwind 9:30 / bedtime & TV off 10:15 / dog walk W a.m.1 -
Ugh, life has not been fun these past few days. I mean it's been OK - but just a drag. No big trauma (after a weeping daughter phone call at 1:45 a.m. because of roommate drama) Stuff happens. We can only take life as it comes. I have not been setting goals the last few days, except to get thru the day without getting in the car and driving....driving ....driving..... far, far away. I could do that.
One evening a few years back when both the children still lived at home, the dear husband and I were sitting out on the driveway with the dog, enjoying watching the sun go down. It must have been a good day. We were talking and I said that I had one of those days in the last week where, as I pull up to the driveway, I want to just not make the turn, put my foot on the gas and just drive away. He looked over and said, "My God! I'm not the only one who feels like that?" It was cathartic! We both felt like we'd let out a big secret that we had been hiding. Now we joke about it from time to time and our real fantasy involves leaving it all behind - together. (He would never really do it. I would though and I think that scares him.)
On a completely different subject, now we are smack dab in the middle of all the projected paths for Hurricane Irma. All the noobs in Florida are panicking. Water is gone from the store shelves. (Honey - you pick that stuff up in June and stock it until the winter, then when the storm season is over and you are left with four cases of water slowly drink it or donate it to a food pantry.) Generators are gone, but there were not many on the shelves to start with, because Harvey. DH made sure the chainsaw, the generator and the tractor were in working order over the weekend. Again we will take it as it comes.
The job has deadlines with the state for reporting on September 11. That is Monday. we were going to finalize data over the weekend before transmitting Monday. Guess we are going to have to figure out how to cram that in to the next few days. Arrggghhh!
So JFT 09-05-2017- Stay in the green - you may not get much exercise so eating is critical.
- Drink water. Lots of water.
- And, as the Hitchhiker'g Guide to the Galaxy says, "DON"T PANIC!"
3 -
Perhaps over this next weekend, if I have power, I'll be able to sit home and catch up on everyone.
Keep on!2 -

The job requires bilingual skills, so I am guessing that they are going to test our ability to actually speak Spanish, but other than that I have no earthly idea what this will involve.
At least it is near my gym, so I will just go work out afterwards.

I actually got a ton of stuff done...which is great, because I totally felt like staying in bed all day.
Tuesday:
1. 60 minutes swimming
2. One self-care activity

I am so done today... But I fought bravely.
The day at work was really unexpectedly stressful and still I am sitting here, slowly calming down and at least only failing a little.skymningen wrote: »1) Write sth for thesisA teeny tiny bit. To have it done. There just was no time.
2) Drink enough waterPerfectly fine.
3) Call parents in the evening
I won't manage. They are out for dinner, but we chatted a little during lunchtime.
4) Be a loving girlfriend, even though my uterus hurts.
So much win! I got him a medication for my MIL (not legally, you know what I mean, his mum). He's very happy about that. And I listened to his tales from his stressful day without bringing mine up too much. I already had gotten a little bit of compassion for my cramps in the morning so I wasn't asking for more. I feel like an angel. 1 -

Just drive...lol. Best wishes to you, DH and animals to weather the storm. Really, everyone in Irma's path. And good luck with submission by deadline. Maybe being in a hurricane state, FL would extend deadline?0 -

Group interview may mean you are the interviewee, and a group of people interview you. I've been on both sides of that table. At one former employer, we passed the interviewee from person to person, and ended with lunch, all lasting 3 - 4 hours. Good luck!0 -
@Slittlemeister: I have never heard of lavender having that kind of effect on anyone! LOL!
@junodog1: Be safe! My husband and I have a son and grandkids down in the path also, who live only a block or two from the Atlantic, so I've been worried about them.
@azulvioleta6 Good luck at your interview! That sounds like it would be a great job! Sure is an awfully long interview though. Wow!
Hey Slittle!! Guess what I am doing right now!! I'm sitting at a table in a room away from my desk and taking a REAL LUNCH BREAK! Kinda proud of myself one day in a row... 0 -
