I am still at home this morning, we bought a new BBQ on clearance a couple of weeks ago and I posted the old one for free. Someone is supposed to pick it up this morning. I put it in the front yard and was going to leave it, but my husband doesn't want me to do that. "I don't trust people". I guess I understand it, but I don't think the people will come in and take my whole backyard. I had also posted about 20 Uhaul moving boxes a couple weeks ago and they finally went last night!
I registered for my 2nd craft fair of the season yesterday. I have one now in October and one in November. I will probably do a few more small ones that run on a Saturday only. I don't want Lauryn to miss too much work because I'm not able to watch the kids. Hubby and I have to get to work and get some items made. I also want to come up with a new display this year. Last year was our first year doing it and we came up with some spur of the moment ideas.
I am going to go out and sell again today, Jasmyne is slowing down her process a bit so I won't be joining her full time in October. I need a job, so better do what I can to keep this one going. I have asked for tomorrow off, Kaitlyn needs a model for her perm day exam. I haven't had a perm in probably 25 years! She has promised me that she will use a mild solution that will wash out in a month or so, that the curls will only accentuate the curls I already have and I won't lose length. She said everyone is bringing their granny's but she doesn't have any here so I am going to be her hip, young granny!
I wanted to sell some things online, but I deleted facebook and my DH "doesnt trust people" either - so I ended up donating a lot to Savers. I was a bit regretful cause I had a few things that still had tags on it etc. but it was a lesson in not collecting so much stuff I don't need and I hope someone who needs it more gets to use it! Glad you had success in passing some things on! So exciting about the perm! I've always wanted to try one! Have fun!0 -

LOL I am either a big fan of selling online or it's biggest critic, it all depends on my mood. I had great success when we moved and downsized, but the frustration of people not showing up got to me towards the end and I ended up driving three car loads of stuff to the thrift stores. Now I post things as I no longer need them and if they don't go in a couple weeks I take it to the thrift store. I really need to go through some more boxes of stuff but they are "treasured memories" and when I think of getting rid of them I remember who gave them to me, the feeling, etc. On the other hand I think what will my girls do with these when I am done so why am I holding them. It's an internal battle I have all the time!1 -

It was SO hard throwing away some knick knacks. Unreasonably hard. I kept having to tell myself, you're not throwing away the memory!!! I like the tip about posting as you don't need things - I let it all pile up and got overwhelmed.1 -

My biggest lesson in knick knacks was when my brother and I cleaned my Mom's house out. I realized how many $1000's of dollars we were throwing out on stuff that she never treasured or truly cared about, it was just stuff we had bought her over the years to say we bought something. It truly has changed my mind set. Then when we were downsizing in 2016, just one year later, I realized how many 10's of 1000's I was giving away or selling for next to nothing of Partylite, Princess House, "name the direct marketing company".... I really think so much more now about what I buy not only for myself but for others. If it's not useful I don't buy it.3 -

Whole town lost power for hours & mayor declared city-wide curfew. They made the best of it: oldest brother lent his generator to youngest to pump rain out of basement, then went to his in-laws with bottle of wine & pizza to watch baseball game, and middle brother used his generator at home & neighbors then sat on porch with bar & lantern.

Had a great, long post of support for individual JFTers, then clicked the wrong thing and lost it all!
Just know that I think of you everyday, and really look forward to reading everyone's posts. Wishing comfort & hugs to those that need it!6 -

Good Morning! And Great Big sloppy hugs for you👏👏👏👏 Applauding anything you accomplish. Moving the lamp...each thing you do is a giant you've slain and gotten VICTORY! over. Kudos on your list, and your efforts! YOU WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!!, for every negative that you turn into a positive... the negative thing becomes defeated and you my dear become a powerhouse🌹JFT:- Spend some time on paperwork. (Set timer for 10 minutes, so do that much, at least.)
- Move lamp back to bedroom.
- Go through one bag from garage.
Thank you, Mary! I really appreciate the positive thoughts and encouragement. I'm extremely overwhelmed, so I need to set SMALL goals and try to be successful. (I've been planning to move the lamp for a couple of months, but I literally keep forgetting.)
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother! I lost my sister, my only sibling, in 2001. How I wish she were still here!
Take care of yourself, and thanks for encouraging everyone! 💕3 -
Hi, first time in the thread, I think it’s a wonderful idea! I lost 50lbs a few years back, which resulted in a (happy) pregnancy, which resulted in 50lbs back on! Baby is 18mo now and I’m feeling the urge to shrink again. Since I found this at 3pm my goal for the day is to just have dinner, no snacks, and get to 10k steps (small yes, but I need this to last)4

Congrats on the original loss, if you did it once you can do it again. Small goals are better than no goals

@bex953172 - I bought paint today to paint my bathroom and thought of you. Did you get all of your painting completed? I don't like painting, but it needs to be done I guess.1

I have to share this feel good moment with everyone. It is Lauryn's facebook post today.
When the kids were getting me out of bed this morning, we were talking about what we were going to do today.
J: have breakfast, and.... wait what day is it?
Me: Wednesday
J: so we're going to Grammie's house
Me: yup.
Mick: Mimi house?!
Me: after lunch, and after nap time
Mick: no! Had big sleep!
Me: you had a big sleep, so you don't need a nap?
Mick: yup no nap. Go Mimi house.
I commented on it and said tell Michaela she needs to have a nap so she isn't grouchy when she visits. Lauryn told her and her response was: yeah Mimi best friend.
My heart grew today and my eyes welled up!6 -
Checking in. 1. It is obvious that any socializing and/or party sort of thing is a major foe of my progress. Four days later and I am still way up in calories. 2. I can not keep up with school field trips. Over 90 degrees and I counted walking for an hour around the zoo as exercise.
Ok, tomorrow
1. Don't be late for surgery.
2. I am not to eat after midnight and have only a sip of water with my one pill.
3. I have no other goals except survive.
4. Be back Friday.3 -

Not quite all. We got all the main walls done upstairs and downstairs and we've painted all the doors and frames upstairs but not downstairs. We need another tin of paint but will be a couple of weeks until we can buy another tin.
However you remember how I said we bought more expensive paint?
Well it's awesome. One of the walls looked proper grubby (already I know) from where one of them (most likely marley) had messy hands, and it just wiped off so easily. And didn't take any of the paint with it!
Money well spent lol!3 -

Oh that is money well spent! I am not doing the trims in my bathroom. The walls don't really need it, my hubby just doesn't like the colour since we put new flooring down. So I'll appease him.1 -
August has been my worse month for walking since I started in April. The smoke and weather really did a number on me. I did do a few Leslie Sansone walks that don't register on here, but not that many.
April - 24.96 Miles
May - 50.65 Miles
June - 28.74 Miles
July - 44.68 Miles
August - 17.21 Miles
I need to get back with the program in September!

My goal for today was eating out at a Asian Restaurant. I think I did okay, but I keep tasting salt. I had to skip my workout that I had planned because my blood pressure was so low.
Goal for Thursday: water, stay on track with my food (under 1200) and get 30 minutes of exercise. And to face the day with gratitude for all of my blessings. Be a ray of light for someone that I encounter - sometimes all it takes is a smile.3 -

I can not keep up with school field trips. Over 90 degrees and I counted walking for an hour around the zoo as exercise.
Ok, tomorrow
1. Don't be late for surgery.
2. I am not to eat after midnight and have only a sip of water with my one pill.
3. I have no other goals except survive.
4. Be back Friday.

@crazyjerseygirl WELCOME!
Today I made a new fajitas recipe and it turned out pretty great! Added some sweet corn I picked up at a street stand, and opted out on cheese/guac. Here it is if anyone's interested:
