JFT, 3/24/18
1. Attempt to log all food(Dinner at M&M's) Total fail...we had eggplant meatballs which were really good but I have no idea what she put in them. Lol. I dont think I am eating over there until at least the weekend coming up so I will be able to log what I eat at home more accurately. Lol
2. Focus on water!! I cant remember. I think I was okay though. I usually drink A LOT of water anyway
3. Up by 9 930 actually. But it felt really good to sleep in with the DH
4. Coffee/Breakfast No breakfast but I got to share my coffee time with the DH
5. Quiet time I think I tried to squeeze too much into a morning that the DH and I were up together. Lol
6. Food pickup @ 9:30 More like 11 am but I got it and it was a perfect order(no substitutions) which I always love!
7book di Yoga Fail. See above
8. Some food prep See above
9. Pack laundry for transport This got done
10. Lunch/DH time I think I made him a wrap and I had a banana or something. Lol. My brain is kind of fuzzy at the moment(I have a headache)
11. M's(Other M is away for the weekend with my Daddy)
12. Laundry/Shopping/Chatting/Dinner Was a very good time. I got some nice things at Michaels. They were having a really good sale.
13. Home by 9:30 9:45. I didnt realize how late it was. I dont think we ate dinner until 8:30. Lol
14. Leftovers for DH Honestly I cant remember. Last night after the DH got home was kind of a blur
15. Bed by 12 I think it was closer to 11:30 actually.
Had a really awesome day yesterday! Spent some awesome time with M going to a few stores. I got some nice things that I am going to turn into projects. Now that I have a nice color printer I am going to buy some printer paper and print out some pictures from our wedding and different pictures that we have taken over the years. I bought a 6 picture collage frame and a photo album. I want to fill them up with pictures of us and turn it into a love album kind of thing. I bought some presents for my Mom and a bunch of candles that were on sale. It was very nice. I only spent like $60 but I got like 4 bags full of stuff. Lol.
I got home at about 9:45 and the DH got home about 10:30. At around 11:15(I'm guessing) I suddenly lost all of my energy. Like it, all drained out of my body at once. I suddenly realized I was so tired I couldn't move. I could barely keep my head up and my eyes open. My DH stepped up and really helped me. I had myself surrounded by things(laptop, planner, cat, phone, beer). He removed everything and helped me into the other room and settled me in bed. I took my medication, put a book on and passed out. I dont even remember hearing the start of the book file that was playing. Lol. I ended up sleeping 11 hours! Lol.
It's currently quarter to 6 pm right now. I made a list in my planner last night but passed out before I could update here. I am going to list some of the things that I have done already and a few that I want to do before hand. Lol.

Inspired by a note I saw that said
ONE DAY
OR
DAY ONE?
just encapsulates the battle we go through each day. I comfort ate all weekend as stressing about 3 things I’ve not done for work all weekend. Rather than do them I’ve procrastinated and ate a lot of unhealthy stuff instead.
Now it’s late and I have choice of sleep or do the work. My own fault. It’s Monday tomorrow. Aaghhhhh5 -
Just gonna post some goals.
Things seem to be falling into place a bit more and now baby is formula fed she basically feeds herself to sleep and that’s it for another 4 hrs!
So may have time to do stuff!
Just realised my tv doesn’t have YouTube anymore which sucks. So not sure how I’m going to do my videos yet, I’m sure my partner will know a way to do it. As I wanted to attempt some light exercise. I say “light” I’m just gonna end up doing what I used to and see how far I get
So JFT: Monday
- Drink 8 glasses of water (Challenge)
- Pick up meds
- BUY NAPPIES (omg do not forget this, Marley is wearing her last one now so will have to go out eaaaarly to get her some for the morning!)
- Log whatever food I can and remember, but atleast make a conscious effort.
- Have a look in my bullet journal again!
- Look up stretches for my upper back/shoulders. It aches so baaad4 -

I struggled so bad with this.
I was the queen of procrastination.
I did a challenge for myself where everything I had to do I just did there and then. Sometimes I had to convince myself. And most the time told myself “just do it for the sake of the challenge”
I now do it all the time.
Because
A) I can sit and watch tv and not be thinking about what else needs doing
I don’t get moaned at
C) things don’t take half as long as they appear
D) I end up doing little bits throughout the day rather than one major clean up at the end of the day!
It took 26 years to realise to just “do it now”
My parents must be so annoyed that I couldn’t learn that when I lived at home9 -
To snowflake1968 I know what dementia is like for a loved one. Living the agony of it each day as it takes my dad bit by little bit. It’s a heartbreaking disease. Anything else you’re ill but you’re still you. Dementia, in whatever form it is, takes the person from you and only a shell remains yet they are still with you . My dad lives with me now and we are on an uncertain journey into night. I cry and I know what you must feel. Let it out as it’s the only way. My dad would know what to do but now the person he is is barely able to speak coherently and walks unsteadily. But they are still with you. May we find a cure in the future to spare ourselves from this living death. 1 in 3 of us will have dementia...a sobering thought that spurs me to donate to research to find a cure. Xx6

@Bex953172 So many things have been happening for you the last 2-3 days! I'm so happy that things to have settled down and are in more of a routine for you. I am on the track of adopting a "just do it now" mentality as well. After 6 months of sitting at home cleaning the same 2 room house over and over, it taught me some good things about how helpful lists are. I can't really use them at my new job but they definitely seem to be helping when I am at home. I usually use my evenings to spend with the DH but soon I am going to have to spend some time doing things instead of DH time. But I think he understands that.
@joan6630 I dont really have much of a problem drinking water when I am home. But if I go to someone's house or am at work I just dont think about it. I think I will take your challenge as well! I'm sorry you had a bad weekend. I kind of did as well.4 -

((((( @joan6630 ))))) ((((( @OConnell5483 ))))) You guys CAN get back on track! We all have slack times but you can do this. I can't afford to come over there, find you, and kick your behinds so I'm doing it virtually. Ha!!
You finished the border! Awesome! That has to be such a feeling of accomplishment. I've never made a large quilt like that. I'm going to try making one after I finish Bex's baby quilt.
Thanks for the kick in the hinder! I needed it!
I wanted to ask if you were feeling well enough to continue the quilt
I’m really excited haha but don’t do anything if it’s going to cause you any pain!
I started therapy (lymphatic massage in my arm) and am feeling much better! I will be able to start working on it again! I'm excited too. I think you will really like how colorful it is! I'm pretty happy with it so far, even though it's not perfect...it's still really cute! And do you know the bet part? Every time I work on it, I think about you and I smile!5 -

JFT, Sunday
1. GO TO THE GYM!!! Start the day out right I was so tired, but went anyhow. Got in 75 minutes on the treadmill, lifted some weights, and later in the day went for a 1 mile walk (to our subdivision entryway, and cleaned up the flower beds --- a day without rain!)
2. log ALL food --- measure my food so I know what I am eating Did so much better at this, but I did have to add 300 calories for the jelly beans I shoved in my mouth. Even though my calories were higher than I wanted, did so much better than I had been
3. concentrate on water!!!! Make this a priority 12 glasses of water today!!!!!! Of course, I had to gulp down 5 of those cups - so now I may be up all nite. But going to get in that water. I think it will help me not only to feel better, but eat better!
4. work on quilt .... try to finish the FMQ so I can clean up my sewing room before son comes to visit I am putting on the binding tonite!!! I do have 2 very small borders yet to quilt on, but other than that, this thing is done! I am so pleased with it -- it will be a very cheery quilt for our bed! Now, I can clean up my sewing room (and clean the house up too!)LOL
5. get back on here - be accountable
A much better day today, and I have to admit, I think I feel better because of the exercise and water. Now I need to always remember this --- and stay with the challenge of 8+ glasses of water a day.
We still have not heard from our son, so I am assuming he is still coming tuesday. His plans were to rent a 37' RV for the kids, but we are suppose to have heavy rain all week. So we are not sure if he has changed his plans. I just wish we could reach him -- as a mom -- knowing he is going through a divorce, I tend to always think the worse. Have to stop thinking like that, and just realize he is super busy. But still .... hoping plans don't change and I can see him and the grandsons tuesday!

Had another good night sleep, I think. Lol. I may have woken up briefly when the DH came to bed but I also may have dreamed it. I didnt fall asleep right away last night but I slept well. I'm pretty sure Panda didnt wake me up either. Lol. I'm not sure what changed with him but he's been pretty good the last few nights. I just really hope that it continues. Lol.
It's just after 6 in the morning here. I have to be to work at 8. I usually get up around 7-7:30 so this is a bit of a change. Lol. I chose 6 so that I may be able to get a few minutes of quiet time and yoga in before I get ready. The DH has also requested morning chats before I leave. Just to let him in on what my day is going to be like. When I'm going to be home, what things I would like him to do, etc. I have a habit of leaving in the morning without telling him because I dont want to wake him up but he hates it when I do that. So we have decided to start doing these chats on the mornings that he works late or is off. I think it will be helpful as well.
I think I just nodded off while sitting on the couch typing this. Lol.6 -

Still nothing lol? This is getting weird now! What are you going mfp!!
Okay, it said message sent and everything? And I'm clicking on your face so I don't think it's going to someone else. Hmmm...I'm probably doing something wrong. Okay. Bex, do you have a crockpot (also called a slow cooker) or an instant pot?0 -
Track everything & try to track foods in advance.
Limit processed foods.
Set a sugar consumption goal- 25 grams or less.
Plan what day to see chiropractor.
Pack fruit & protein bar for snack.
Walk dog at the beach park. Going to be windy.
Struggling to get to gym for weight lifting or yoga-try to find a way to stick to this goal.
Meditate 2x 15 mins each.
Finished declutrering my diningroom & I love it. Just need to keep "stuff" from finding its way back in here!
Start posting in evening.
In bed by 10pm.
Re the water challenge-It took a while but I got there. What helped me was purchasing a gallon jug & filling it daily. I also "chug" 2 cups when I first wake up before my beloved coffee! Now it's simply a habit.
I flew through the posts & so many of you are an inspiration! I think I need to post at night.
Habits dictate how we live our lives.

JFT, 3/26/2018
drink 8 glasses of water/ per competition/challenge/throw down!
Pre-log my food
If un-logged food option arises then log it BEFORE eating it to make sure there is enough count
Stay in the green with fat, pro, carbs, and calories
I will take every bite captive
Work on online study
Exercise on torture mill
What I am learning: The past several weeks I have been going over my fat amount. It started with just 2 or three over and has now crept up to 13-19 over. I was beginning to get complacent about it. Within just a few weeks time. Unless I stay tenacious, focused, watchful, I will return to my bad habits. It's important that I assess my plan frequently. I do not want to return from whence I came. I do not want to lose the ground I've worked so hard to push through. I am enjoying my clothes fitting better. I am enjoying the confidence through the victories I've earned. I'm enjoying having self control, being master over food instead of being a slave to it. I do not want to go back to being enslaved...and the realization that once again, I have placed myself under the yoke of slavery. I want freedom.
