    Yard sales! Love 'em, but not going because I need to get rid of all my junk.
    Sighed to read of doctor woes here and there. Two appointments this week coming up.
    Was going to try that keto diet but after looking here and there, guess not. Just looks too tight on carbs. I am more of a South Beacher but truth is need to keep mouth closed mostly.
    So today have quit Keto with a big old piece of chicken. I also had fruit and then drank son's pop. Son is outside howling like a wolf so will have to go reign him in. Went to store and bought him a new keyboard and it works great.
    Party tomorrow and it is on my mind. Will get up early to cut melons and clean strawberries. Not making the dip that goes with it just because I would have to eat it and lick bowl.
    Okay, holding the line rest of day on calories. Probably not going to exercise or MOW but I will check Y schedule.
    Tomorrow, I will think about every calorie when at party. I can fast through breakfast and drink muchly to get pills down. I will think of some drink I can take that is primarily water. I will be on-time for church but not go to cemetery as we went earlier this week. Husband not there but we left a butterfly on grave. Son is still howling so off to rescue the neighbors from the beasts.

    I’m trying to get rid of junk too, I’m looking for stuff for my daughters wedding. So I get to have fun and store stuff somewhere else!

    Saturday

    Get off the bus 1 stop earlier after work and walk a bit more
    Write a shopping list for the wife so she can get groceries while I'm at work
    Not get freaked out by the number on the scales when I do my weekly weigh in (I nearly did though.... i need to remember that it isn't always about a big loss, but change of behaviour...or something!
    Write a gratitude list
    Track food 100%

    All done for the day! Thank goodness! I am so sore after work, it's really hard to stay motivated but the extra bit of a walk really made me feel like I achieved something today!

    Sunday
    • Prep some veggies for a snack at work
    • Drink an extra glass of water at work (so 4 ventis instead of 3)
    • Meditate at least once
    • Use the stairs rather than the elevator
    • Track food 100%

    Friday checklist --
    1. Log all food ✅
    2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
    3. Do at least one more go at walking video .. try to hit 10 minutes
    4. Get Hair cut ✅
    5. Get cash for Farmer's Market tomorrow ✅

    Well, definitely not a blazing success. But, I did log all food and stayed just under goal ... so that's good. My sister's in from out of state and we're spending the day together -- first stop is the Farmer's Market. I know with her I'll get in a LOT of walking today. Need to be especially careful with food today since we'll be eating two meals out in restaurants ... and she is not a good influence.

    Saturday JFT --
    1. Log all food
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water
    3. Walk, walk, walk
    4. Clean out car ✅
    5. Buy fruits & veggies at Farmer's Market
    6. Be extra vigilant with food choices today
    7. Spend day with Sis ... have fun!!

    Can someone tell me how to make the ✅ ... please?

    Have a successful day Y'all :smiley:

    @cesse47 Re the bolded - don’t know about everyone else but I type my posts in my notes on my iphone first and then copy and paste into posts here (means I can go back to them easily and update goals then copy back on to here at the end of each day or start of the next). When I type ‘done’ in my phone it gives me the green ✅ option. But if you type ‘tick’ on a post here on an iPhone it also offers you the ✅

    Hope that helps!

    @cschmitz110515 - great loss for the week - yay!

    @bcTRAI nice to see you back - 👋

    Had an ok day yesterday. Got in a good workout in the morning and made a nice dinner for the boyfriend. Fell asleep on his sofa last night. I think all of the emotion of the last week or so has hit me hard and I’m now shattered.

    Going to workout here this morning while he sleeps and then hopefully stick to the rest of my weekend goals of eating mindfully and getting some rest where possible too. Not at home so no laundry or housework at least! 😃

    Have a lovely Sunday all. X

    It was "takeaway" Saturday yesterday. And we had curry, my partner always cooks it. It was chicken tikka masala. It was really nice, when I was eating it though I said to my partner "it's a bit hot this for a masala" he then starts laughing his head off because he's only gone and put Naga Chilli paste in!
    For reference: Tabasco is 30,000 on the Scoville scale, the Habanero is 100,000, the Naga is 580,000! Hot hot hot. 💥

    What is “takeaway” I thought it was our take out, but if he cooks I must be wrong.
    I can’t handle spicy food at all they just cause me pain.

    Haha we call it our "takeaway night" so we will eat take-out cuisine but cook it ourselves. So instead of going to a take out we go to the supermarket and we buy expensive meat, expensive sauce and sides and stuff. It's tastier, healthier and cheaper! Plus I know exactly what's in it to log it!
    So no it's not strictly take-out. But just the same cuisine so indian, Chinese, pizza, Thai etc(although you can't replicate a takeout fish and chips lol that does have to be takeout!)

    It's been an emotional week for me. Having talked to a couple of people it's seems more and more like I had an early term miscarriage. Apparently they are fairly common. I see my doctor on Thursday with Matt so hopefully they can give me a firm answer. Between the heaviness, the terrible pain, the exhaustion and the missed period is been rough. But you know how you just feel like something's wrong? Even without all those symptoms something just felt wrong. I spent a lot is time sleeping this part week.

    I have a few things to do today but I honestly don't know if I'll do them. I kind of just want to relax. I went to a BBQ yesterday. I had a great time. I got to see a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while so that was nice.

    The new girl starts at the branch on Monday. That makes me super happy. It means we won't have to spend the whole day in the branch open to close any more.

    I don't think I'm going to set any goals today other then eating sensibly.

    I hope everyone has a great day.

    My heart hurts for you. Hopefully the doctor can help you figure things out. I think relaxing and doing nothing is the perfect plan for the day.

    Im so sorry about the miscarriage (if that's what it gets confirmed as) . I do know what you mean by something feeling wrong, sending much love and hugs, if you ever need to talk I'm here.

    Home from the party-I tried to eat only a little but 2000+ calories and that is just what I can recall! The baked beans were so good! Banana pudding was superb. And my fruit dip was excellent and I have more in frig. On the bright side, I was not late for church, I found a person to take me to surgery and then stay and bring me home, and I did no yard work.
    Tomorrow, work very hard in Y water class to make up for today; totally be low in calories and don't even breathe sodium, drink more than ever because I am so thirsty from today, be on time for dr appt. Take shot. Pick up meds for surgery. Should have done that today but I forgot. I will put a sign on door near car and that will help. Taking 4 cups ice water to bed and drinking the evening away (we did karaoke).

    So today actually got a whole lot better! Matt's manager cut his hours today by two but didnt tell him so he got there 2 hours early and flipped his lid. After a lot of back and forth, I finally told him to just leave his shift and come home. I was not in a good headspace at all. I spent about a half an hour sitting on my couch with Panda in my lap just staring at a black tv screen feeling completely numb. It was pretty scary. I was so lost in my own head that I couldn't move at all. I managed to pull myself off of the couch and go up to my parent's house to do some laundry. I talked to my dad for a while and threw some clothes in the wash. I went back home and paid some bills.

    The DH and I have pretty much come to the decision that he is going to put his two weeks in on Tuesday. We have some money put aside that we can live off of while he looks for something new. He has his heart set on doing something with hockey or baseball. We have a minor league MLB team about 5 miles away and we know someone who works for the FCA(Fellowship of Christian Athletes) that Matt might be interested in talking to. I think it's time for this to happen. Something needs to change. Matt's job has been treating him like absolute *kitten*. It's time for him to move on. I've told him flat out that I want him to leave. That it's been affecting him in a really bad way and that has been affecting me. So send some prayers for a quick turn around job wise. The one thing that worries us is that we won't have health insurance anymore. We are going to try and apply for state aid. I can get it through my job but it is insanely expensive. Like costs about half of my monthly pay. And apparently, it's not very good either. I'm going to do some research.

    He came home and we ended up going to a new discount store that opened around the corner. It was a total mob! I mean TOTAL mob. Like NO personal space at all. But it was worth it. There was a lot of brand name stuff that we could use at the house. I think next Friday night we are going to go and really scope it out.

    But just being with him and going out and doing something. Tinkering and building the things we bought. It all changed my mindset around. I am much more at peace then I was early this afternoon. I actually feel good and hopeful.

    However, I did eat like crap today. We ended up ordering takeout. We got Cluck U which is really tasty! We haven't had it in like 8 months or something. But I am definitely bloated and actually really dehydrated. I think all the sodium dried me out. Lol. So for the rest of the night it's going to be water focused.
