I LOVE genealogy but right now I am feeling bogged down. My mother-in-law will not divulge even her parents names. And they are Japanese so there's no getting around her. So the kid's tree only goes to her but I have lots on the Andrews who settled in Dale County, Alabama. And then, I have my side including the great-great grandfather who was a sperm donor back in 1850 and we married all sorts of cousins in eastern Kentucky. I am currently working on Johnsons. I had my DNA and the kid's done--really can't make much out of it but then I have 9,000 matches of 'cousins'. A couple of folks (Brown, Johnson) seem to have come from Ireland and I am mostly stuck with that parent who came to the US, there was a lot of talk of Scotsmen (Andrews?, Crawfords) but I can't verify them and then we must be ate up with French Huguenot (Jett, Valentine) but they also can't be pinned down! Germany is the worst-I don't know the history well enough to understand which place they came from (Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland) or even why or how. We didn't come on the Mayflower or to Jamestown but some were here in the 1600s. Of course, we are quite English but still why? Lots of Sirs and Ladys and even the usual king/queen people all back to Charlemagne's granddaughter Mathilde, the Wallace family of Braveheart and Scottish kings and French queens. And I really do not know anything about the Welsh but they were obviously a people apart. My son is more Welsh than I and then he is 30% East Asian. The Native American ladies on both sides are non-existent according to DNA. Sigh. It is so addicting and I can't recall who or what I did from one day to the next. I guess it beats time and money spent shopping and maybe reduces time watching tv. I do work at my ward (Church) in our Family Heritage Center so that is primarily through Family Search but I also have a lot on MyHeritage. As you may know, the LDS (Mormons) sponsor family research and so our wards have centers that will assist people to work on genealogy. Ours is open on Tuesdays from 10-2 and then Wednesdays at 6:30-8:30 pm-that's my work now. Okay, I ran on here but it is so intriguing to think of who these names and dates could have been.
I went to the 8 am water class at the Y and haven't taken all my pills yet but will do so shortly. Yesterday, I wanted something all day but not sure what it was. Stayed in the calories (sodium seems to lurk in everything even tho I never pick up a salt shaker) and that's about all. No yard work nor laundry.
Thursday then is exercise (done but might go again this evening), maintain on calories, do something on the yard, grocery shop, take out trash, and do laundry and nag son to empty dishwasher and clothes dryer. I hear the dog barking funny so outside to fix whatever is going on.
That is so interesting! I LOVE family search and think it is so awesome that it is made available as a free resource - even cooler that you offer help and assistance! So thanks for being a part of that

I forgot to post goals yesterday! I'm juggling a lot and doing pretty well though! I need to eat MORE. That is not usually my problem. It was too hot to cook last night so I basically put whatever was in the fridge on a plate and microwaved it. I did okay on water - but could have been better with all the activity and sweating I was doing - i ended up with a headache right before bed that no amount of water would cure. So today I will fill my glass more often! I unpacked everything and cleared the staging area for tomorrows move. IM SO EXCITED to have our things in our space finally. LOTS OF WATER TODAY and a good nights rest will be imperative. No breakfast, or lunch planned for today - but dinner will be a nice steak and potatoes and green beans on the grill. Staying at the apartment one last night and I'm honestly kind of weepy about it. I'll be in the moment tonight and soak in all the memories we've made.
JFT Thursday
1. Log all food
2. Lots of water
3. Reasonable lunch choice
4. Be present and kind
5. Pack all kitchen and pantry
6. Bed by 9:30 - no TV at the apartment anymore so shouldnt be a problem!3 -
Does anyone ever simultaneously feel they should be doing more, but also less? I am quite behind at work and with house chores, but feel I have no time! I told a colleague how much I had on my schedule at work and she agreed I really need to cut back. I'm a perfectionist and it's hard to look at cutting back as anything other than a failure. However, I'm burning out where I am at, and cutting back will help me be more effective in the long run, rather than doing everything with half ability. Anywho, thanks for *listening* as always.
Coworker had fresh sweet corn today for grabs (4 mins in the micro and DONE) so I made an Indian tomato soup and a tilapia dish I love along with it. Pretty good spread!

Wow you describe my life prior to August 31 last year. For the last three years of my last job I was doing two full time positions and 90% of the time was left alone at the office to answer calls and walk ins. It was a no win situation. The stress of work affected my home life, my health, my sanity and serenity. If you can find anyway at all to get some of that work off of your plate do it! I too am a perfectionist and thought I could do it all, but you can't do any one thing to the caliber that it should be. So you're already feeling like you aren't cutting it. I had finally for the last year begged for help and never got it. I finally gave up trying to keep up and then ended up fired a week before I was scheduled to see my doctor for a stress leave letter.
I learned a lot:
Family is there for you
Employers will replace you - they are currently looking for the 5th person to try to replace 1/2 of my job and the petty person deep inside me sort of smiles at this
My health is more important - I had been suffering for a over a year with a smoke smell at completely random times. It was diagnosed by a neurologist as a form of migraines. I would smell smoke for a few days and then have the headache. I have only had one incident since leaving that company.
I need to find ways to create my own peace - I have been been using a Gratitude Journal, devotions and prayers
Do what you love - the dust can sit for another week, I will go for a walk or do something that I really love before I will do housework. I keep it very tidy and things in their place (otherwise I would go mad) but the dust can sit.
My health and happiness is more important to my husband and my family than the money I earn is - We have struggled financially for a number of years. Due to the economy here in Alberta my husband was out of work for over 2 years. I took all of that responsibility on and wouldn't look for another job when I was so unhappy because "at least I had a job". I won't ever do that again.
It took me over a month of not working before I felt rested and got the stress out. For that first month I slept so much! I would have 3 or 4 - 2 hour naps through the day and still sleep all night. I was ready to call the doctor when I finally started feeling normal. I did discuss it with her later and she said it was my body's way of healing from all the stress I had been under.
I truly hope that you get some help and understand that asking for it is not a reflection on you, but rather a reflection on the company.4 -
Congrats @HEGoddard0928 on the name plate! And all your continued success in the job (especially now certain people have gone!). Hope you feel very proud of yourself.
Great job @elsie6hickman on the good choices while eating out - so hard to do sometimes!
@maryrobinson40 and @jeschepp - look after yourselves! We can only do so much before we hit a wall. Feel a bit like I hit that wall myself recently.
@Bex953172 - I’m really inspired by the way you track and adjust. If I slip into the ‘red’ I often say screw it and just make it worse. But I’ve noticed how you respond immediately with some activity to get back in the green. It’s a great reminder for us all that a day doesn’t have to be ruined unless we let it.
@mytime6630 - great job on the August challenge. I’m struggling a bit with this one but my schedule is all over the place with no work for summer break and the girls away! This one would have been great for me for September
@snowflake1968 hope you had fun with grandkids!
Anyone I’ve missed - hope the week is going well.
I didn’t get on here last night as I was up late. My boyfriend is having a rough time at work and couldn’t make it for dinner in the end. But I didn’t hear from him until gone 9pm by which point I was so hungry! The girls are back today (yay!!) but that means I won’t see him now for a couple of weeks so felt a bit down last night. Did the chocolate help? No, it never does.... sigh!
Wednesday recap
- morning workout ✅
- April to August challenges - all good until the evening and then got a bit emotional
- Finish paperwork ✅
- Hot yoga ✅ - had a great class!
- Dinner with boyfriend (planned and prepped) ❎ made the lovely dinner, he couldn’t get out of work. I ate my portion and was within goal and then found some chocolate
- Get to sleep at a sensible hour 🤞🏼(he is a night owl!) ❎ nope
Thursday goals
- morning workout
- April to August challenges
- Renew yoga studio membership
- Grocery shopping
- Haircut at 12

Yay for your girls being home. I can understand the frustration of not seeing the boyfriend though.1 -

What actually happened? Worked 10.5 hours with just 15 mins lunch break. Actually left at 7.30. Ordered a sensible choice for main, but my friend was naughty and ordered a bottle of wine for us to share without telling me. After half a bottle of wine, having another glass of wine and a dessert seemed like a good idea. As did getting the last train home. Unsurprisingly, I did not pack my run stuff.
Yesterday's commitments - a summary!
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- 3 bottles water
- 45 minute lunch break
- Duolingo
- Finish work at 6.30pm
- Train home at 9.45pm
- Pack stuff for morning run
I think what this tells me is that work, and alcohol, are not good for my goals...(!)
Today will be better (won't be going out).
Commitments are:
- Log everything I eat
- Stick to food plan
- Be in the green
- 4 bottles water
- 30 minute lunch break
- Duolingo & French book
- Finish work at 7pm, NO LATER
- Watch the Handmaid's tale
- Lights out by 11
Are you still preparing for a job move? I think you are right work is not good for your goals which is what causes the alcohol

Morning all!
So yesterday was okay but I can certainly do better and that's the main aim for today!
I've been blessed by my daughters with an extra hours sleep!
Which makes up for the sudocrem incident last night! (see below)
So just for Thursday!
- 8 glasses of water
- Be in the green
- Exercise ❗Priority, ❗ this is my main focus for today, the one I want to achieve most.
- Tidy Up (and keep it tidy!)
- Finish the laundry and put it away!!
The sudocrem incident
It was much much worse, all over her bed, all over her clothes!
Oh my! - this was a discussion on our local radio station last week. The DJ's daughter who is going to be 2 in November used bacon grease as lotion. Those creams and lotions are so hard to clean up. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that mess. She looks like she's sorry though 0 -

Starting with short goal list today. Won't put any unnecessary strain on my day today. I'm doing this MFP and it's working for me. IT WILL TOTALLY WORK, IF I WORK IT RIGHT..
I already feel a difference in my body. It wants the exercise now. Before all it wanted was more junk.
Funny thing to me is, now I turn my nose up at certain foods. Found myself doing it yesterday.. Saying to myself, "How could I let myself put that in my body?"
I'm rediscovering myself. I'm facing things that I had become"NUMB" to.
When someone caused me pain, I didn't always confront them... I would eat blindly. It was like a shield would come over me and I'd retreat inside myself. I'd consciously unconsciously be eating (chips, or ice cream) and when something in me triggered me conscious; I'd have eaten almost the whole bag, or the whole half gallon.
Needless to say, I have been making changes... I began by letting go of toxic people... People who's assignment is to drag you down and not want to see you better yourself, because it would mean they couldn't use you as an excuse any more to stay the way they are. The old saying... Misery Loves Company". Stop feeding misery and joy will find it's way in the main room of your life.
I'M DETERMINED TO LIVE! I'M DETERMINED TO HAVE MY DESTINY! I'M DETERMINED TO LOVE MYSELF IN A HEALTHY, HUMBLE WAY!
I hope you have an awesome day and are feeling better. It's amazing what can happen when we start putting ourselves first. Make sure you eat enough with all of the exercise that you are trying to do. You don't want to burn out.1 -

Had a great visit with the Grands last night. Jonah was happy to get back to his Minecraft game on my ipad so he didn't talk a lot after supper, but I witnessed the cutest thing if only I could have caught it on camera. Michaela has a doll that sings, talks, lights up etc. The batteries needed replaced. I replaced them and handed her the doll. She gave the doll a kiss, and patted its head saying "Oh Baby". Jonah was looking up at her with his head down, so just raising his eyes. His smile at his sister getting her baby fixed was so huge his dimples showed. He was just staring at her for a couple seconds before going back to his game. My heart about melted, I could just feel the love he has for her.
Michaela learned a few more words while she was away. She is now calling me Grammie instead of Mimi - that's sort of sad. She is saying Jonah instead of 'Nah for his name. I bought her a little necklace while we were away that had a ladybug on it. She quickly said Ladybug when we told her what it was. I asked her if she had a good time at camp, she got very excited and started telling me a story. She was babbling a mile a minute but all I knew for sure was she hurt her bum because she stuck it out at me and said hurt. The translation from her Mother was, they had a little blow up boat that she was floating in the river with. The water was very low and they could actually feel some of the rocks on their bottoms. LOL
I have a doctors appointment this morning. I haven't had a yearly check up for 2 years. The last time my bloodwork showed that I was pre-diabetic, I am hoping that when it comes back this time after I get it that I have fixed that. Diabetes is one of my biggest fears. I hate needles especially the finger prick.

I had to laugh at your descriptions. Genealogy is sort of like going down the rabbit hole isn't it? Why would your MIL not want you to have that information? I am not familiar with Japanese traditions, is it a part of their culture?
I really need to get back into mine. I have my Dad's paternal side traced all the way to England in the 1600's. We were part of the United Empire Loyalists. My Dad's maternal side I have not really started looking at yet. Even my Great Aunts & Uncles on that side are confusing to me.
My Mom's side I have every branch imaginable. My Grandmother spent a good 5-6 years working on her side and my Grandfathers side. I have all of her notes and documents, about 3 boxes worth of stuff including old tin pictures. She was a Kinney with Irish roots. There are a couple cool things in her history. One ancestor was hung in the Salem Witch Trials and another introduced the Miranda rights when they became part of the justice system in America. My Grandfather's side was Welsh, but I haven't read up on all of it yet.
My husband's family traces back to Germany on his paternal side, but I haven't started digging into it yet. I know that there is a gap in some information in the history as there was a fire in a government records storage facility and a lot was lost. His Mothers side is very interesting as far as her story goes but because of it, its very hard to know. My MIL's Mother passed when she was just 6 months old. This was her Father's second wife. With his first wife he had 12 children. With his second wife there were 6 older than my MIL. All of them except my MIL ended up going to orphanages. In 1991 these 7 were all reunited for the first time in 51 years. The other 12 are still fairly unknown.
Hmmm, like you I could go on and on. I find it very fascinating. I haven't signed up for any online ancestry sites, mine are all handwritten or typed notes. I really feel I should do something online.

Wooooh just ate nearly my entire daily calories at Moe's! I think I need to consider a weekly calorie goal for this week since I've been so over/under. Then I won't look at a huge meal as "bad" - just needed to vent as I did feel bad after I just logged it, but I'm moving on now! Thanks 3

My partner went out today and got a few extra bits for shopping.
He loves treating the girls and he's bought Casey lots of fancy food pouches! Which are obviously more expensive but they're brilliant!
I've just gave her creamed potato and sweetcorn and she LOVED it.
And earlier she had a kale, peas, apple and pear puree.. Which was kinda funky tasting but she liked it lol!2 -

Hello my dear friends!
I did not get a chance to log in today...well actually I probably could have a few hours ago but I felt a tad bit ashamed of my dinner last night. But I did faithfully log it. I REALLY didnt want to but I did it! That is a huge step for me! I was WAY over. I dont even remember by how much. Tonight is a tad bit better. The Nutella from this morning birthday breakfast at work was deceptively calorically dense so that ate up a lot of my calories. I got a few things done at home that have been on my list for the last few weeks. The DH closes tonight so it's been just me. It's not even 9pm and I'm already propped up in bed typing this on my laptop. Once I'm done with this I think I am going to shut the light off. I want to get up early tomorrow. Oh! Funny story! Thank God my cat was a jerk this morning or I probably would have been INCREDIBLY late to work. This morning the alarm was set for 5:45(HAHA). When it went off I stumbled over to it and reset it for 6:45PM instead of am. At about 7:20 Panda absolutely REFUSED to leave me alone. I eventually got so fed up that I stormed out of bed and glanced at the alarm clock across the room. By that point it was after 7:30. It was funny though because he was downright howling for food even though he had a bowl full of it. I'm seeing it as divine intervention. Lol. It would have been disastrous if I had been late because we would not have been able to open the bank. So thank you Panda!
Thank God tomorrow is Friday! The DH and I are both off this whole weekend. So when I get home at 5:30 tomorrow we are free until Monday morning! It is going to be a very nice break. I'm going to do a few things around the house. It's not that terribly dirty but I need to move a bunch of things up to the front of the property where we have storage. There are many things in boxes that we dont use that are just taking up waaay too much space in my house. So I think that will be the Saturday afternoon project. Not sure what the Sunday one will be though.
Okay it's just about 9. I need to wrap this up before I fall asleep typing this!

I can't find my post again!! SO I guess no goals for today ... NO! But, I did do OK all day ... worked my butt off mowing the entire lawn, which took me from 11 until 2:30! So when I am working outside ... no time to eat, other than grab a protein bar.
Tonite though ... I want to eat!! I went to the grocery store and just picked up some chic for dinner, so I ate a good dinner (lots of calories for dinner, but since I didnt' eat much all day, I was OK with that). But I picked up TWO Rice Krispies treats for my daughter. Tonite, I decided, well, I would eat one of them. But I thought of @Bex, and looked up the calories first ..... 450 calories!!! So instead I had a weight watchers giant fudge bar for 90 calories! And now, I am drinking my water and sewing to take my mind off any more food! The kitchen is closed! But I think I need to stop buying those things for my daughter.. because it gets me in trouble. she can certainly go and buy her own if she wants it ... why am I doing this
Friday goals --- we are going to a used book fair, so we will be gone for a lot of the day, and then going to the fish fry. so I think I may skip a lot of goals, other than a few
1. log food
2. concentrate on water!!!

As a whole, I did better this week than last week.
I completed my JFT and I hope to keep improving.
❤❤❤❤
Everyone... The ambulance took one of my brothers to the hospital. We're waiting to hear from our older living sister who lives in CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA.
All of my siblings are older than me. There were 8 of us children. 4 boys, 4 girls. The eldest brother, and the eldest sister are already passed.
I'm ok though, at least I think I am.
But don't be sad for me. Just keep sharing the good stuff...baby getting into things, or cat shenanigans... Lol…
Love you all🌹💝💝4 -

@mytime6630 The bags are nothing fancy. I try hard to do a lot of recycling, donations and purchases from thrift stores, etc. So a few weeks ago hubby tore out the butt in two of his dress work pants. They weren't mendable, the fabric meant they wouldn't make even ok rags, and they were not donatable. It hurt to just send them to the landfill so I decided to make buckets/bags/containers from them. Maybe I can put them into the shop at our guild's next show.2
