    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 :sweat_smile:

    So JFT: Monday
    - Drink 8 glasses of water (Challenge) *hides from @joan6630 * I forgot again :neutral:
    - Pick up meds .. oops! Gonna be a zombie tomorrow!
    - 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!) yes! Just in time for poop too.. :astonished:
    - Log whatever food I can and remember, but atleast make a conscious effort. AHAHA “a conscious effort” .. who was I trying to kid?! Didn’t log a thing! :sweat_smile:
    - Have a look in my bullet journal again! .. not surrrre where I’ve put it!
    - Look up stretches for my upper back/shoulders. It aches so baaad, doing this now actually!

    Okay so could of done better, really out of sync with this and haven’t really got the focus.
    I think I need to exercise first and then the rest will fall into place because after 9 months of sitting on my fat butt I’ve just got such anurge to burn some non existent energy :sweat_smile:

    Although getting YouTube on my telly is looking like I’m going to have to buy something. Like a amazonstick, chrome cast or a wire to plug my phone directly in. *sigggggggh*

    I'm not sure of what is wrong with your back and shoulders, but I suffered for 20 years with upper back and shoulder pain and when it finally got so bad I went to a physiotherapist i found out it was my posture. I wasn't holding my head properly over my shoulders, which caused all of the muscles to scream in agony. I had made it much worse when I started using cell phones and tablets by looking down a lot.

    I’m thinking it is posture, due to having the baby I would have adjusted to support that weight and now it’s gone I have to readjust again! Don’t suppose you remember any tips!

    *sneaks into the thread....hi!
    so, i learned something VERY valuable over spring break: I've got to get better by summer. If I don't i'm going to just gain back everything i've worked so hard to lose. I'm going to start by making sure i log over the weekends. I can't simply go crazy because i'm not at school.

    JFT 3/26
    log everything :)
    drink 80 :)
    stay green (really green, carbs and calories) :)
    swim at least 1200 yards :| swam 1000. it's allergy season in Kansas, and i was really struggling with breathing.
    tonight, get lunch for tomorrow ready. >:) this didn't physically happen, but i mentally planned what i was having.

    I wasn't given any exercises for it from the physiotherapist, I did however start doing some yoga to help with my posture. Once I got the pain under control and it wasn't a constant companion the pain would return as soon as started slacking in the posture department. One thing I did wrong was overcompensated for my top half and caused problems in my lower back because of my hips. Don't make that mistake. I still have to concentrate on how I'm sitting, standing and walking as soon as I start getting lazy I notice it. Good luck

    has anyone read the always hungry books? it seems to align with what i'm trying, but it's an expensive book.

    I have not, but I might have to look it up and see if they have it at the library! The title could be my middle name...

    Nice to be back, I missed JFT :smile:

    Oh my goodness! Hi! We've missed you too!

    @PreciousGems1 I have not been diagnosed, but I would bet my entire paycheck I have it. Both of my sons have it, as well as dyslexia. I have a terrible time keeping my focus. It's kind of frustrating because at my age I don't know that they would do anything but at the same time, I'm still working so I could really use the help! Good luck!

    @Bex953172 You had a baby not even one month ago. If I were you I would consider it a success to even log in here and say hi once a day!!! Don't be so hard on yourself, hon! xoxox

    @OConnell5483 there is lots of treatment options for adult ADHD. Maybe ask your Dr. for a recommendation for a therapist or phychiatrist who specializes in it. I take meds and have other coping mechanisms for mine. it's not easy, but knowing makes many things easier.
