I have absolutely knocked myself out today. Got up early, forgot it was rest day and did a workout. Then had a quick shower before walking down to hot yoga. Quick coffee and came home to tackle the garden. It was an overgrown totally neglected mess of v sharp and twine-like brambles, stinging nettles, grasses and weeds. The lawn was mostly dandelion and about a foot tall. Six hours later it is clear, the lawn is neat and short and I have jetwashed all the paving. I’ve cleaned my outdoor parasol and furniture. Had to move 30 slabs of paving stone that my neighbour’s building crew put on my patio too.
If I am still capable of any movement tomorrow I will go and buy paint to repaint the wall and do the front garden (a mercifully easier job). I think this goes down as the most active day of my life since I’ve been tracking. Haven’t even had time to enjoy the calories earned so will happily indulge a bit tomorrow!
Sunday goals

- Yoga @ 8:30 ✅
- 12k+ steps ✅ Err just over 21k!!

Wow I forgot how quickly this thread moves along if you miss a day or two! Lol
Today I broke my 11 day streak of exceeding my step goal, however I also successfully went a full day without eating any sugar! (I’ve been trying for 3 weeks to cut down on my sugar intake... Especially sugary drinks which have become my weakness now that the warm weather is here). So overall I’d call today a success!
Tomorrow I will:
Drink lots of water/tea
Avoid sugary drinks
Complete my step goal5 -
JFT Friday
Calories in green
15 minutes in the sun
Write up tax correction for tax dept
10K Steps
Review upgrade test status w/ team leads
Wait! It's Sunday night already? Holy moly, I don't know where the weekend went. It was a pretty good one. DH and I did some declutterring. I did laundry. He had to go in to work. It rained. We saw the grandbaby and had dinner with Son and DIL. I saw a snapchat that showed my daughter is again seeing the As5hole, but I cannot let that stop my life. I had positive affirmations as part of an assignment last week and I honestly think that helped me stay out of it. We had rain much of the weekend. Needed it. But I got my sun time in. Did not do well this last week tracking my calories, but I am back to getting 10K steps in evey day. One thing at a time.
JFT for Monday
Up at 0630 and off to work early
10K steps
preplan food for the day and stick to it

I see once again I didn't even get my goals posted for today (or yesterday!!!). But I had a very busy, active weekend. Probably a little too much eating and margaritas (Cinco de mayo!).
But I am also so upset. The trustee for our subdivision gives me $100 to buy and plant flowers for the entryway into out subdivision. So I got the plants -- ones I knew that the deer would leave alone. I got them all planted, fertilized, waterered etc.
Well, 2 days later, about 12 of these plants are totally GONE! I was at a lost as to where they could go -- no signs of deer or any animal eating them. So I went back to the nursery to get more, and they told me it could be a "vole", which is a small mouse that will eat the roots and everything. They didn't see how a vole could eat 12 plants overnite, but I still went and got granules to put down to keep them from eating. So I did that yesterday, thinking I would see if it worked, and then today plant the ones that disappeared. Well... today ... 9 more plants are missing!!!! I think someone is coming through the nite and stealing them! I can't figure out what else is happening! I am so upset and frustrated! I love gardening, and enjoyed beautifying this area, since anyone that drives by it makes it look so much nicer. Our trustee is going to put up a sign ... in hopes that it helps.
But, today I did spend a good portion of the day working in our yard - and am so sore tonite!
SO JFT, Monday
1. go to the gym -- skipped this today and yesterday, so need to get back on track here
2. log all food
3. plan menus. I did kinda plan menus, and went and got lots of veggies, etc., just need to do more planning for each day
4. cut up all the veggies I bought so they are ready to snack on
5. do tiny habits:
after shower ... take vitamin
after breakfst ... fill up water bottle
after dinner ... brush and floss teeth ***** This one I keep forgetting!
6. work on business tax stuff - I am so far behind with bookkeeping
7. work on quilt
8. ask myself if I am really hungry
9. drink 8+ glasses of water --- april challenge
10. walk 15 minutes outside -- may challenge

Well, this weekend was a total bust, at least food wise. I got a lot of other things done though. I had dinner with Mom, lunch with M, helped declutter D's office, Church, clothes shopping AND a 2-hour nap! All between Friday night and Sunday afternoon! The DH is home and we had a great night last night. Lots of cuddling and general adorableness. Lol. He had a really good time. I love that he enjoys spending time with my Dad. Before DH showed up in my life my Dad was my favorite person in the whole wide world. Now the DH is and Dad is second. Lol.

I know on Saturday evening I updated by Saturday and added my Sunday, but I must not have hit the right button on my phone so it's not there. I had a good swim lesson, learned some techniques for breathing that I'll practice this week when I go by myself. Had a bit of stress in morning after swimming, so I ended up sitting and watching tv for a while instead of cleaning. Realized we had no water in the house until I went to get groceries, our tap water tastes awful, so I failed that challenge on Saturday.
Yesterday I struggled with food. I think it's because I didn't truly track activity. I moved pretty much all day, I cleaned, cooked our Sunday breakfast, cleaned some more. Took the kids outside set out the outdoor furniture, cleaned it, raked a little bit. Then the kids and I went shopping for a couple outdoor toys for them, ended up going to two different stores for Jonah. Came back home, went to make strawberry shortcake for dessert and realized I didn't have enough strawberries so Michaela and I went to the store again. She weighs 32 pounds and I had to lift her into her car seat every time, carry her in parking lots, then she just loves her "Mimi" so she wants up just because. I know how fast this stage will go so I never refuse. After I made dessert, we went back outside. I finally sat for a little bit. Then it was time to make supper, so again lots of steps because I barbecued it's not in a convenient place. After supper, cleaned again. Once the kids and everyone left, I still had to go do laundry, I still need a washer/dryer. I went to the laundromat, threw the clothes in the washer and took a 1K walk. My plan was to do a longer walk after clothes were put into the dryer. I failed! I was hot, tired and hungry. Rather than going home and getting something healthy, I went to McDonald's for a coke and cheeseburger. So I ended up going over on my calories yesterday for the first time in almost 2 weeks. I'm not beating myself up over it. It still said I would "lose" in 5 weeks.

Do 10 Somethings every hour

I realized on the weekend I didn't do my 10 Somethings at all last week. I need to get back into this. The scale and I are still battling. This is so frustrating! I don't know if it's lack of strength training, or if it's lack of weighing my food. I need to figure it out.

Good Monday to everyone! I am looking forward to a very productive forward-moving week. My weekend was not pretty...I do not do well when I don't prelog. So, back to the focusing on the process...I am aiming to make some progress this week!!
JFT, 5/7
Drink 8 cups of water---didn't even manage that this wknd
Pre-log as much as possible and log any modifications
Online program
Exercise
I was grumbling a bit this morning as I put on my walking clothes...hubs good naturedly said, "Well, be happy you are exercising without having to wear paper underpants!" We had just been talking about his folks in the nursing home and how we could one day be where they are. Well. That squashed any further grumbling!!! I am grateful I have two working legs that allow me to walk my neighborhood and enjoying the sunshine and God's beauty. And I am grateful I can do it without needing to wear paper underwear!!!! (and no doubt people who need them are quite thankful they have them!!)
Have a marvelous and grateful day!4 -

The last three days have been unusual. I dealt with some minor emotional depression issues. It has set my milk production back bc I wasn't eating well or pumping on schedule. Therefore, my primary focus this week is to get back on track with milk production. I'm going to pack in calories to give it a boost so it'll be an interesting log for the next few days. The baby was up all night last night so today will be interesting, Lol

Had a post typed out complaining about my crappy day and I hit done instead of past. Made me really upset. I had a really $hitty morning. But I spent my break outside in the sun. It is gorgeous out. I say outside my favorite cafe and soaked up the rays. I'm feeling much more optimistic I think. I was ready to cry about an hour ago. But I think I'm okay now.
My manager is off this week and my head teller was insanely stressed about something this morning and was getting kind of snappy with me. I felt particularly stupid this morning. It was like my brain was on autopilot but they autopilot was set on the wrong course. It was terrible. Now my head teller is on break so I'm hoping she comes back not as stressed.
I just can't wait to be home. I miss my DH so much. I think I'm going to need to spend some time cuddling.4
