@Snowflake1968 Good luck at your swimming lesson today! I think you are very brave and inspirational for facing your fears! I know you will do this, because your love for your grands is obvious and I think there isn't much we won't do for those little ones! One step at a time. You've got this!
@HGSmith0920 Good luck car shopping today! I love car shopping. One of my favorite things. Good thing they're expensive, or we would have a whole yard full of them! LOL
@bcTRAI Another quilt cut out already?! What are you making now? I love hearing about and seeing what you make!
@Faebert I'm sorry to hear about your fall! Take a break this weekend and ice or heat or whatever you have to do to nurse that. I took a fall on ice 8 years ago and landed on my left hip and it sure was painful. xoxo
@sarah74_vt Look at all your smiles! Awesome! I think I am going to have to steal your sodium intake goal. That's another one I need to cut down on. Good idea!4 -

JFT - Friday 4/20/18
1. Stop eating when you are full - yes, need to work on stopping when I'm satisfied, not full.
2. Log all food - yes, slightly over macros.
3. Be kind to yourself - yep, allowed myself a few chocolate chips, instead of lamenting and eating a bunch of other things instead. Logged it and moved on.
4. Meds AM and PM - yep
5. Finish 1082 Sheet - no, revisit monday
6. Get up and move once per hour - yes
JFT Saturday
1. Stop eating when you are full
2. Log all food
3. Be kind to yourself
4. Meds AM and PM
5. Eat within calories, worry less about the macros today - experiment to see if I can make good choices on the fly today.4 -
@OConnell5483 I decided my strategy for dealing with studio clutter is
a. Complete a large project
b. Complete 2 or 3 smaller projects
c. Complete a large project
So after I finished the pink and blue I'm onto b. Otherwise the smaller ideas never get done and I'm frustrated with the larger ones
So this is the pattern for the next small. It should look very similar. You can see a couple of the fabrics on the right hand side.

You’ll smash it! Time to overcome that fear!3 -
I survived. I swam from one side to the other without panicking. There were 4 other ladies all around my age and two of them have my same fears. Our instructor was awesome and he said we’ll be in the deep end by the time we’re done in 8 weeks.6

Sorry you’ve got things going on, it will be that affecting you physically! Which is why I like this group so much because it’s not just focused on nutrition and exercise! It’s how we feel that affects how well we do!!
However great news that your hip was okay for your workout!!
Don’t worry, things happen and we can always get back on track!3 -

Hopefully get a walk in
Get groceries
Do laundry
I am babysitting for the first time today and have to take them home to their Dad after supper, when he is home from work. It’s going to be a fun tiring day.
@Bex953172 would gladly save you if I could.
@Faebert personal crap always throws me off and it usually succeeds in doing it for a long period, good for you for not allowing it to linger today.
@junodog1 thank you2 -
@Snowflake1968 and @Bex953172 - thank you. I have got so much from joining this group but I think most important is that focus on getting back on track. Everything about it underlines that every day is a fresh start. Bex - hope the legs and triceps have recovered and you’ve managed to get upright - so amazed that you’ve got to the gym already with Casey so young. You are a star!
I’ve had a good day in the sunshine and re-set. Personal life still making me sad but had a much more positive approach to handling it today. Going to focus the rest of the afternoon and evening on keeping positive so I end the week well.
Big thanks from me x2 -

Oh, I just love it!!! Will that be a wall hanging then? So pretty! I dream of being able to whip stuff up like that! My projects are all 9 patch, 4 patch or disappearing 9 patch right now. I did manage to make some of the windmill patches once for a baby quilt but I think I struggle because I wing it. I look at a picture and decide I like it and then just start cutting an sewing without knowing the easiest and correct way to do it! LOL. But I love doing it... I cannot follow a pattern for the life of me.2 -
@Snowflake1968 That's awesome! You go girl!
@Bex953172 Good for you! I'm so glad you got to go to the gym! Did you enjoy it? I need to sit down today and discuss changing our routine a little bit so I can go to the gym after work. He's a creature of habit and has dinner ready every day at 5:00 pm, and I'd like to be able to go straight to the gym from work at 4:30 and then come home for dinner. We'll see how that chat goes later today.
@Faebert I just want to give you a great big hug. But I'm so glad to see you are up today and approaching your day as positive as you can. I really think it is everything going on in life that makes up probably 75% of my health and wellness (or lack of...) decisions.2 -
I am SO far behind getting on here again. This time of year, either I am working inside with hubby, outside working in the yard, or quilting! I don't spend nearly as much time on the computer..... which is bad ... because that means I am not logging my food, or staying on track either!!
But yesterday I walked 9.25 miles!! There is a new path that is opening up near our home. So far, it is 4.75 miles from my house to the path and back. They have another section of the path open (well, not quite open yet ... I had to slip under the caution tape But it is almost ready to open .... and just beautiful! It took me over 3 hours of walking, but by the time I got home ... I had walked 9.25 miles! Needless to say, my legs hurt!
But then I had not had lunch, so was starved by the time I got home ... and ate too much of the wrong stuff!
Today I am heading out to work in the yard ... but I did get my workout in, though only a short 45 minute one.
But wanted to also show you guys the quilt I am working on now ..... all very scrappy .... using a box of little leftover scraps that I just can't part with. It will have black (I think) inbetween the squares.
@bcTRAI --- I LOVE the new quilt you are working on!!! Please post a picture when you are finished!
@Snowflake1968 --- Wonderful on the swimming!!! SO proud of you!!! I should go back myself and start lessons! I got where I was able to swim in the deep end, but I could just never relax -- I had to swim near the sides, or would swim like crazy till I could stand again. Thankfully I am still able to have fun with the grandsons, as they typically stay in the areas where it is not so deep. But so very proud of you --- I know you can do this!
@Bex953172--- great job getting to the gym!!!
My goals today will be simple
1. do tiny habits ... vitamin .... water bottle ... brush after dinner
2. log ALL food
3. concentrate on water
4. work in the yard
5. clean one area of downstairs
6. quick pickup of the house -- vacuum, scrub floors, clean bathroom and kitchen
7. go and buy a couple periannals to plant in bare spots in flower bed
8. get back on here ... be accountable
9. work on quilt

Yesterday was so nice outside. It was rather odd, the weather, actually. It was warm enough that we didn't have to wear a coat. It was in the 50's, but there are still snow drifts up to 3 feet tall! Crazy weather in Wisconsin! Anyway, we went bumming to a few of the thrift stores in town that I like to dig for treasures in. We were able to open the sunroof and let some fresh air into the car.
I got home and paid for it though. I forgot my pelvic stabilizer at work and my hip has been acting up, so that was too much walking without the belt around my hips. I'm paying for it today, which makes me a bit cranky because I wanted to go to the quilt show in Neenah today. Oh well, I have adult responsibilities I should be doing anyway.
Everyone is doing so well on here, even those having various struggles are finding ways to deal and are so insightful, and that takes such strength! So proud and inspired by all of you!
Just for Sunday:
1. Journal and stay in the green
2. Goal is to stay <75g carbs, < 29g added sugar
3. 64+ oz of water
4. Finish Activate phase of 17-Day-Diet book for some ideas on nutrition and snacks
5. Meal plan after reading Activate and make grocery list
6. Prep healthy snacks into serving-size baggies
7. Find healthy ideas for raw veggie dips, i.e. guacamole, hummus, peanut butter?
8. Laundry and pick out next week's outfits to make mornings smoother
9. Activity of some kind. 25 minutes yesterday....try to beat that by even 1 minute
10. Bills - must do today
11. Evening routine - Simple Abundance, Gratitude Journal, wash & moisturize face, pack tomorrow's lunch, set out tomorrow's outfit
12. Get up without hitting snooze tomorrow!
13. Also, need to think of 3 new Tiny Habits. The first ones have pretty much become routine now. I'll add those tomorrow.
Sorry for all the to-do items in my list but if they are written down, I have to be accoubtable, right?
Have a lovely Sunday!

Oh my gosh, Joan! This is SO PRETTY! I love scrappy quilts. They just kind of fall into place, don't they? I have seen this type of block in some of Therese Downunder's videos. I can't remember the name but it looks like a braid or a weave. Very cool!1
