But today will be different!
1. Only a few minutes on MFP! I can spend an hour on here catching up with people and just wasting time! Lol
I hope everyone is having a fabulous day!
Yes .... today will be different!!! You are doing so great, so one day will not hurt you. Great job owning up to it! And ..... like @Bex said ...... chatting is good for us LOL!!2 -
Sorry - totally off subject, but this is the quilt I just finished! I got quite a arm workout on this one - it measures 124 x 118!! But I love how cheery it will be!
That’s beautiful. I love homemade anything. I have several quilts from my grandmother but since she is no longer here. I no longer use them. I’m scared they will get ruined.1 -

@Bex953172 And @joan6630 I totally didnt mean to imply that this board was a waste of time! Lol. I LOVE it here! There's just a lot of things I want to get done! Lol!
So I went consignment shopping today and was definitely pleasantly surprised! I am out of the XL dept and almost out of the L dept!!! I got a couple of things that were M and I'm now and 9/10 pant! I can't believe it! I actually need to go shopping for new work pants! Lol. I bought some pretty new(to me) dresses and a bunch of new(to me as well LOL) work shirts since I was sadly lacking in them. Lol. Some of them are gorgeous! I'm so glad I went. I got 11 things for $70! I can't believe it! Lol.
Got almost nothing done that I wanted to though. Lol. I did run to Walmart and got those things that I needed and paid a few bills so I guess that's okay. Lol.4 -
@joan6630 Your quilt is gorgeous! I'll have to take a picture of the one hanging above my bed. Godmommy made it for me as a high school graduation present. I think you and all the quilters here would really like it!2

I did this! Lol. I checked in a few different times but didnt spend an hour each time like I used to. Lol
2. Log all my food!
I did but it wasn't pretty. Even with exercise calories, I was still over by 400+
3. Drink 4 bottles of waterI think only 1.5 as of 8:47 pm
4. Pay bills
Not as many as I would like but hopefully Monday I can pay more.
5. Make a shopping list
Forgot trash bags though! Lol
6. Go shoppingWas in and out of Walmart in about 5 minutes. Lol
7. Check out a consignment shop I heard aboutSpent about an hour wandering around. It was glorious!
8. GYM!!!!!
I think I am going to go right when they open tomorrow. I really REALLY need to go. It's been about 2 weeks
9. Work on new budget if possibleTotally forgot. Our finances are so up in the air this month it's going to be hard anyway.
10. Dinner/DishesStill need to put the rest of dinner away and wash the dishes...
11. Time with the DHWatched a couple of youtube videos on a channel we follow and have spent most of the evening listening to music.
12. Leave to pick DH up at 330Got there on time but the DH got out late and then we spent 20 minutes outside talking to a friend of ours. Lol
Well, today was a bit of a bust...at least food wise. I'm counting the hour I spent walking around the thrift store as a slow walk. Lol. It's definitely something out of the ordinary for me so I'm gonna call it a win.
I did realize that I have dropped 2 sizes! I used to be a 13/14. I am now a 9/10!! I am about 3lbs away from comfortably fitting into an 8! I'm so excited! Lol. I bought a couple of pretty dresses and some nice work shirts. I'm really happy. I have to go buy some work pants at the store tomorrow though. I only have two pairs that I can wear and I dont like one of the pairs because they wrinkle really easily. So time for new ones!
Okay, onto goals for tomorrow

JFT - Saturday April 7
2L of water2 -
JFT, Sat
1. log all food
2. think of 3 Tiny Habits to start on Monday - but start today
These will be my tiny habits this week:
After I take my morning shower, I will take my vitamin
After I eat breakfast, I will fill up my water bottle -- This helped me SO much today!
After I have my planned evening snack, I will brush and floss my teeth
3. concentrate on drinking water I lost count at 9 glasses!!!
4. keep sugar gms no more than 50 --- 35 gms today!
5. clean house/laundry
6. start another quilt
After I cleaned house, I'm trying to think of a new quilt to make. I have SO many scraps, so I am going to do another scrap quilt --- using 1.5" strips. So I spent a good part of the day going through the 4 boxes I have where I saved everything, and cutting these scraps into usable pieces. I did throw out some very tiny pieces .... but enough to make 2 more doggie beds for the humane society. Now, I just can't decide what to start with as for a quilt. I have a lot of little kid fabric ... so I may start on some charity ones to give to the childrens hospital. But ..... I'm going to work on more chemo hats while I am deciding
JFT, Sunday
1. Do the 3 tiny habits
Tiny Habits:
After I take my morning shower, I will take my vitamin
After I eat breakfast, I will fill up my water bottle

I’m absolutely loving @joan6630 Challenge! Look how well I’m doing!
This is coming from someone who normally drinks 1-2 cups of water daily.
I was thinking, maybe we should have a challenge every month!
But something different each time!
I was thinking we could all make suggestions to see which one would be suitable for ALL of us and then choose which one we’ll do ready for May
So maybe, perfect logging, or daily 5 fruit/veg or X amount of steps daily (probs not 10000 but maybe 5000?) or even daily positive affirmation?
I dunno, someone will probs have better ideas but I’m thinking monthly challenges could be a good thing?
What do you all think?
Great idea, Bex! I'm all about baby steps, so my idea is 10 (or other) minutes of walking (or other) "exercise" daily.0 -
Recap Sat. 4/7
1) Wash dishes
2) Walk dog... snow on roads (mostly) melted = 3.77 miles 1:02:50 / happy dog & happy me
/ Fitbit 13,953 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 & 27 floors
3) Make sure hubby is ready on time / tax prep appt. to file tax returns = He was ready & I was almost late!
At least the refund almost covers the taxes due
4) Call mom & dad on their 62nd wedding anniversary = Had very nice chat
5) Bake Kodiak Cakes power muffins / need to use up bananas postponed to Sunday
6) Update weekly weigh-in post / not pretty with eating Easter candy & leftovers = Post updated & added spoilers to shorten length but keep info
7) Bed & TV off 10:30 - 11:00 = Huge fail
Yesterday, no meal plan and huge fail. Hubby and I ate fast food (at place we both love) for late lunch after tax meeting, including fries (sodium!), leftovers for supper, then I binged on peanut M&Ms (sugar!) in evening. ACK!!! Even quit logging food b/c it was so bad. 
Scale showed me the error of my ways this a.m. Back at it today!
JFT Sunday 4/8
1) Bible class / church
2) Meal plan in head / log all food / net calories green
3) Drink extra water to flush system
4) Walk dog
5) Bake Kodiak Cakes power muffins / need to use up bananas
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:152 -

Sounds good! I’m wondering what @joan6630 ideas are!
I think 10 mins is SO achievable!
And gets us all moving!4
